This thesis deals with a theoretical analysis of the basic parameters of receivers, input circuit architecture and signal digitization. According to the specified assignment it is outlined block scheme of front end for software receiver with specified components and the total bilance is calculated. Individual parts of the system are designed and realized. This is a set of four input filters for bandwidths: short waves up to 30 MHz, 87,5-108 MHz, 144-148 MHz and 174-230 MHz. The main point of design is a circuit containing a low-noise amplifiers, switches, and two amplifiers with adjustable amplification. Mainly are used integrated circuits from Analog Devices corporation. To control the various switches and adjustable amplifiers was designed a separate panel, which is connected to the main circuit via a cable. In the last phase was the whole system and its components subjected to measurements. Thanks to a number of mounted SMA connectors it is possible to measure different parts of the system and we are able to modify it partially.
