Notes:
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-G303i is 0.3 µV in 2-30 MHz range. The
Professional Demodulator improves
sensitivity further by making it posible 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-G303i 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:
