The crystal oscillator has a frequency of 10.675MHz, which is fed to the LO terminal of the mixer. The first intermediate frequency signal of 10.725MHz is fed to the RF terminal of the mixer. The difference frequency of the mixer is the second intermediate frequency of the receiver, 50kHz. The second intermediate frequency amplifier circuit is an untuned two-stage amplifier composed of two broadband amplifier stages, including a first-stage amplifier and a second-stage amplifier. The pre-stage of the first-stage amplifier is a low-pass filter used to suppress the sum frequency component in the output signal of the mixer.

7. The receiver unit of the II Instrument Landing Equipment heading beacon far-field monitoring device as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The absolute value detection circuit includes: a first broadband operational amplifier and a second broadband operational amplifier, a first diode and a second diode, wherein the first diode and the second diode are included in the feedback loop to eliminate the temperature effect, and the detector is made closer to linear by the high gain of the operational amplifier and the use of feedback technology. The low-pass filter is a 3kHz low-pass filter, which is a second-order Butterworth filter composed of operational amplifiers. It attenuates the second intermediate frequency component of 50kHz. Therefore, the baseband signal consists of DC component and modulation component. The adjustment and calibration of DC component and modulation parameters are accomplished by the bias adjustment potentiometer of the operational amplifier.

The absolute value detector operates within the RF input range of -20dBm to -75dBm. The gain and DC voltage of the operational amplifier maintain a constant intermediate frequency level. The modulation component is canceled through the integrating capacitor. The RF level output circuit consists of an integrated operational amplifier. When the RF input signal changes from the minimum level to the maximum level, the integrated operational amplifier translates the AGC voltage of the operational amplifier into a DC voltage that varies from 0V to 5V.

The receiver unit of the II Instrument Landing Equipment heading beacon far-field monitoring device as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The frequency synthesizer uses a dual-mode CMOS large-scale monolithic phase-locked frequency synthesizer programmed with 16-bit parallel code, which integrates a reference frequency divider, a reference oscillator, a digital phase detector, and logic control circuitry.

10. The receiver unit of the II Instrument Landing Equipment heading beacon far-field monitoring device as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The first mixer includes a mixer ADE-1MH, an intermediate frequency transformer (IF transformer) and a capacitor in a resonant circuit. The mixer ADE-1MH is connected to the IF transformer, and the IF transformer is connected to the capacitor. The amplified radio frequency (RF) input signal is coupled to the first input terminal of the mixer ADE-1MH. The local oscillator (LO) signal from the frequency synthesizer is added to the second input terminal. The difference frequency between the RF input signal and the LO signal forms a first IF frequency of 10.725MHz. The LO frequency output by the mixer ADE-1MH is lower than the RF frequency of 10.725MHz. The output load of the mixer ADE-1MH consists of the IF transformer and the capacitor in the resonant circuit. The IF signal on the secondary winding of the IF transformer is coupled to a crystal filter.
