Modeling and simulation of the superregenerative receiver

This paper presents a model for the superregenerative receiver, a device widely used in short distance telemetry and remote control applications. The difficulty in modeling this nonlinear and time varying device by traditional analytic tools has meant that to this date, results based on a much simplified description of the circuit have been used as the basis for design. We show how with the aid of modern computer based analysis and simulation tools, a much more general characterization of the behavior of the receiver is possible.
