The circuit boosts the receiver"s performance only if the signal at the antenna is of sufficient level to begin with. This circuit takes a short pull-up antenna that has a high output impedance and couples it to the receiver"s low input impedance through a two-transistor impedance-matching network. Transistor Ql"s high input impedance and high-frequency characteristics make it a good match for the short antenna, and Q2"s low output impedance is a close match for the receiver"s input. This circuit is usable over the range from 100 kHz to 30 MHz.
