In a dual-conversion superheterodyne receiver what are the respective aims of the first and second conversion:
image rejection and selectivity
The first conversion to a high IF primarily aids in image rejection (by placing the image frequency further away). The second conversion to a lower IF allows for the use of highly selective filters (like crystal or mechanical filters) to define the receiver bandwidth.
