Selectivity and sensitivity performances of superregenerative receivers

This paper is dedicated to an in-depth analysis of superregenerative receivers performances. A preliminary study of start-up time and steady-state amplitude of the oscillator signal is first achieved. Then analytical relations are established and discussed for the selectivity and sensitivity of superregenerative receivers in different modes of operation.
