Some aspects of television reception on Band V

The problems facing the designer of a television receiver for use on Band V are considered. Choice of aerial, signal/noise ratio and oscillator stability are discussed in some detail in respect of performance and complexity, and suitable valves for signal frequency amplifiers and oscillators are reviewed. Various possible arrangements for the front end of such a receiver are assessed. Some experimental results achieved with an experimental tuner using normal mass production techniques and components are discussed and the construction of this unit described.
