What are methods for preventing AM receiver from being jammed by a local transmitter. AGC is not enough.
Thanks.
 

Re: AM receiver jam

Hi,

If your receiver works with an external antenna, I think the best is to add a filter between the antenna and the receiver.

Look at this app. note :

Replace * by t
 

Re: AM receiver jam

Another thing to do is to use a loop antenna. These have deep nulls in two directions. You can rotate the loop to put the null in the direction of the unwanted station.

Re: AM receiver jam

And here is pretty common solution used in many AM radios:
"The solution for this problem is the so-called seal circuit, which serves to weaken the signal of the local transmitter, so that it doesn’t interfere (but is still strong enough for normal reception, when the receiver is tuned at it)."
More details you will find here (goto: Suppressing the Signal of the Local Transmitter):
