The front end of the receiver performs the frequency translation, channel selection and amplification of the signal.

The front end of the receiver performs the frequency translation, channel selection and amplification of the signal. Many receivers must be capable of handling a very wide range of signal powers at the input while still producing the correct output. This must be done in the presence of noise and interference which occasionally
