Receiver spurious responses—Computer improves receiver design

This paper will review the processes of spurious response generation in land-mobile receivers. The various types of spurious responses will be discussed. Formulas required to calculate the spurious response frequencies will be presented, and the use of a computer for spurious-response frequency prediction will be outlined. These computer spurious-response frequency predictions can be used as an aid in designing systems to avoid spurious. In addition, these predictions may be used by the receiver designer to minimize spurious. Several different methods of minimizing receiver spurious responses will be discussed since the various spurious mechanisms require different methods of reduction.
