Heterodyne detection with weak-link devices. A rather different mode of operation is to use the Josephson effect device as a heterodyne mixer to convert from millimeter wavelength to a convenient(that is, lower) frequency where conventional infrared amplification can operate. 1, record 1, English, - Josephson%20effect%20device

A tuned amplifier employed in the amplification of the signals produced by the mixer in a radio receiver. Because the carrier frequency of the modulated signal from the mixer is essentially constant, the resonant frequency of the amplifier is fixed. 5, record 2, English, - intermediate%2Dfrequency%20amplifier
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Intermediate-frequency (i-f) amplifiers. These are used in radio, radar, and television receivers. The majority of broadcast radio receivers employ i-f amplifiers operating at 445 kHz; some automobile receivers use 262 kHz. 5, record 2, English, - intermediate%2Dfrequency%20amplifier

La liaison entre le sélecteur U.H.F. et le mélangeur V.H.F., qui est utilisé comme premier amplificateur à fréquence intermédiaire, réduit la bande de fréquences transmise, car les écarts entre les porteuses son et vision sont plus faibles que pour les émissions en bandes I et III. 2, record 2, French, - amplificateur%20%C3%A0%20fr%C3%A9quence%20interm%C3%A9diaire
