Tuned R.F. Amplifier<br />

A tuned R.F. amplifier will provide more gain than its untuned<br />

counterpart. When used as an external adjunct to a receiver this type<br />

of unit is usually called a ‘preselector’. Unlike an untuned circuit which<br />

amplifies all the S.W. aerial signals, a preselector only amplifies over a<br />

relatively narrow bandwidth. Thus, despite its higher gain, it is less<br />

prone to overload the receiver.<br />
