Note:
1. The Professional Demodulator offers two additional demodulation modes, DSB and ISB.
2. The Professional Demodulator offers continuously adjustable IF bandwidth from 1 to 15000 Hz.
3. The AM sensitivity is specified at 30% modulation for 10 dB S/N ratio.
For 80% modulation, typical AM sensitivity of WR-G303e is 0.3 µV in 2-30 MHz range.
The Professional Demodulator improves sensitivity
further by making it possible to extend filter lengths, and adjust the IF bandwidth for optimum reception of the
received signal: This results in a typical improvement by 2-3 dB on AM/SSB/FM and up to 10 dB on CW.
The WR-G303e receiver is truly one of the most sensitive receivers available, yet with an excellent dynamic range.
The following table illustrates the effect of the AM modulation depth and the Professional Demodulator on typical sensitivity figures:
