DoubleConversionSuperheterodyne
Icom'sbasicideaaboutthebestreceivercircuitistoreproducehighfidelity
audiowithoutinternaldistortion.Ouranswertoachievethisgoalistoadopt
adoubleconversionsu

stem*.Thedoubleconversion
pyy
systemsimplifiestheelectroniccircuitryandreducesthenumberof
componentswhichcauseinternaldistortion.Thedigitalsignalprocessing
(DSP)technologiesandimagerejectionmixermakeitpossibletoadoptthis
system.
*Atripleconversionsystemisusedforthe1200MHzband.
