Tuner (radio)

A tuner is a subsystem that receives radio frequency (RF) transmissions like radio broadcasts and converts the selected carrier frequency and its associated bandwidth into a fixed frequency that is suitable for further processing, usually because a lower frequency is used on the output. Broadcast FM/AM transmissions usually feed this intermediate frequency (IF) directly into a demodulator that convert the radio signal into audio-frequency signals that can be fed into an amplifier to drive a loudspeaker. More complex transmissions like PAL/NTSC (TV), DAB (digital radio), DVB-T/DVB-S/DVB-C (digital TV) etc. uses a wider frequency bandwidth, often with several subcarriers. These are transmitted inside the receiver as an intermediate frequency (IF). The next step is usually either to process subcarriers like real radio transmissions or to sample the whole bandwidth with A/D at a rate faster than the nyquist rate that is at least 2 times the IF frequency.

The term tuner can also refer to a radio receiver or standalone audio component that are part of an audio system, to be connected to a separate amplifier. The verb "tuning" in radio contexts means adjusting the radio receiver to receive the desired radio signal carrier frequency that a particular radio station uses.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Tune In

    by: Cool Calm Pete

    You heard Osama got a weather machine
    bought a new umbrella with my color the screen
    and sadam act like the mafia Don
    dont touch that dial we run to Vietnam
    cool calm on a recon mission
    out the work place been gone fishing
    heading upstream make you forget home
    hungry man dinner chronic fatigue syndrome
    you all alone no one to relate to
    like even your old lady act askew
    world on crutches limping on it's axis
    grandpa pitch a tent doing his taxes
    scared tactics loop under the mattress
    I got guns and internet access
    pop divas do drugs and act rude
    wear pretty little clothes dance and drop school
    I'm makin moves in the land of milk and honey
    overcast day nose still runny
    come rain and shine please remain calm
    dont touch that dial they're gonna drop the bombs.
    now this just in
    take one on the chin
    hip hop mischief huckulbery fin
    chuckles and laughs form poisonous gas
    second class citizen take two and pass
    natives are restless express slang
    got excess baggage still love cocaine
    hard to maintain harder to let go
    they fucking up my city for vendettas and patrol
    retro fitted got loop juice aquited
    pitted against all odds still committed
    hair loss silicone botox kiss' is call
    1 800 I am dead in crysis
    act now later way to hate fast lose too late!
    so your homegirl's up in harms in harms way
    red alert bring the alarm bombs away
    duck and cover you might get burned
    ive seen a thousand points of no return
    tune in your now rocking with the calm
    dont touch that dial they're gonna touch the bombs
    you got them post war blues
    still confused
    daytime drama sitcom news
    still buried in the trenches refuse to loose
    aroused from the capitol with rights to choose
    product placement
    sex is tasteless
    still less filling the enemies faceless
    a joke in the office and he aint all that
    and the new American pastime is rap
    stop the presses look another titty
    got your homeboy and aint life pretty?
    we all rock synthetics to bear the cold
    you act like rellox but your barely old
    ultra violence a moment of silence
    from down with the king to down with the tyrants
    cant trust the system we still cant count
    cause they bucking down kids when school is out
    head for the hills another cold front chill
    collection of sorrow and unpaid bills
    detonation read a new nation
