How can the IMRR of a superheterodyne receiver be improved?

There are a number of ways to improve the image frequency rejection ratio (IMRR) of a superheterodyne receiver, including:

Use a high-quality image reject filter at the input of the receiver. An image reject filter is a bandpass filter that is designed to pass the desired signal and reject the image signal. A higher quality filter will have a narrower bandwidth and better selectivity, which will result in a higher IMRR.
Use a stable and accurate local oscillator frequency generator. The LO frequency is used to mix the incoming signal to the intermediate frequency. If the LO frequency is not stable, the image frequency will also drift, which can make it more difficult to filter out. A stable and accurate LO frequency generator will help to improve the IMRR.
