Heterodyne receiver has five sections
RF section
Mixer/converter section
IF section
Broad tuned band pass filter with adjustable frequency that is tuned to
carrier frequency
Better selectivity.
It consists of two components

Detector: Rectifies the modulated signal, then filters out the 455
KHz. Leaving only the audio frequency or intelligence of 50 Hz – 20
KHz Which is sent to the AF amplifiers.
Good fidelity
