Peculiarities and circuitry solutions of the interface section of multifunctional receivers for telecommunications systems have been considered including the issues of building low-noise amplifiers, mixers, heterodynes, channel filters, and analog-to-digital converters. Technical specifications of the devices and the most promising directions of development were presented.References
