ABSTRACT:
A radio receiver with isolation between an antenna and a regenerative oscillator/detector. The isolation is provided by periodically (at the receiver's quench frequency) uncoupling the antenna from the regenerative oscillator/detector. The receiver preferably includes an antenna, a super-regenerative oscillator/detector, a clock that indicates the quench frequency, a timing circuit coupled to the clock, and a switch coupled to the antenna, to the oscillator/detector, and to the timing circuit. The timing circuit specifies a first part and a second part of each clock period. During the first part of each clock period, the switch at least partially couples the antenna to the oscillator/detector on the nominal reception frequency. During the second part of each clock period, the switch at least partially uncouples these two elements on the nominal reception frequency. The timing circuit determines the first and second parts of each clock period so that the first part corresponds to a phase of sensitivity for the oscillator/detector, and so that the second part corresponds to phases in which oscillations in the oscillator/detector rise in amplitude, and/or have an increased amplitude, and/or decay in amplitude. Thus, the inadvertent emission of electromagnetic radiation from the regenerative oscillator/detector at the nominal reception frequency is attenuated or suppressed at least during the second part of each clock period.
