Abstract
Receiver comprising a cascade of first to N resonance amplifiers (SA1, SA2, SA3), an output thereof being coupled to signal processing means (TO, SD, PK, LP1, S) for deriving a baseband modulation signal. To improve the signal to noise ratio said cascade is included in an RF input stage of the receiver for a distributed selective amplification of an RF reception signal, preferably with an impedance level of the individual resonance amplifiers within said cascade of first to N resonance amplifiers increasing in signal downstream direction.

Receiver comprising a cascade of first to N resonance amplifiers (SA1-SA3) being included in an RF input stage (SA1-SA3, C) of the receiver for a distributed amplification of an RF reception signal, an output thereof being coupled to signal processing means for deriving a baseband modulation signal characterised in that said first to N resonance amplifiers (SA1-SA3) in the cascade providing selective distributed amplification, the impedance level of the individual resonance amplifiers (SA1, SA2, SA3) within said cascade of first to N resonance amplifiers (SA1-SA3) increasing in signal downstream direction.
