APF (automatic peak filter) adjustment
APF (Automatic Peak Filter) is an automatic peak filter used to improve the reception of weak CW signals in noisy and interfering conditions. This filter selects a narrow frequency band around the useful signal, improving its audibility and reducing the level of interfering signals.
Main functions of APF:
- Noise suppression: Reduces the effect of broadband noise and interference by isolating a narrow frequency range.
- Improved CW signal intelligibility: Particularly useful in radio communication using telegraph code (CW), where accurate recognition of subtle audio signals is critical.
- Automatic tuning: APF automatically adjusts to the frequency of the maximum peak of the useful signal, which is convenient in variable conditions (e.g., frequency drift).
- Narrow bandwidth: Ensures signal isolation even in conditions of strong interference, for example, when receiving amateur radio signals in contests or when operating in bands with a high density of transmitting stations.
