The Motorola MC3361 are a series of FM receiver chips which demodulate intermediate frequency (IF) signals of up to 60MHz bandwidth.
The MC3361 is intended for use in a dual heterodyning receiver, also called "dual conversion". In dual conversion, a first step of electronics lowers the radio frequency (RF) input signal from the antenna to the intermediate frequency. In the second step, the IF signal just produced is demodulated and audio frequency (AF) output is produced.
The MC3361 is able to perform the second step of dual conversion, the demodulation from IF to AF.
