  2. WSPR (amateur radio software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSPR_(amateur_radio_software)

    The type of radio emission is “F1D”, frequency-shift keying.A message contains a station's callsign, Maidenhead grid locator, and transmitter power in dBm. [3] The WSPR protocol compresses the information in the message into 50 bits (binary digits).

  3. AC/DC receiver design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC/DC_receiver_design

    There are three ways of powering electronic equipment. AC-only equipment would rely on a transformer to provide the voltages for heater and plate circuits. AC/DC equipment would connect all the tube heaters in series to match the supply voltage; a rectifier would convert AC to the direct current required for operation. When connected to a DC ...

  4. HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    A single-phase, three-winding converter transformer. The converter transformers step up the voltage of the AC supply network. Using a star-to-delta or "wye-delta" connection of the transformer windings, the converter can operate with 12 pulses for each cycle in the AC supply, which eliminates numerous harmonic current components. The insulation ...

  5. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

    The two-level converter is the simplest type of three-phase voltage-source converter [29] and can be thought of as a six pulse bridge in which the thyristors have been replaced by IGBTs with inverse-parallel diodes, and the DC smoothing reactors have been replaced by DC smoothing capacitors. Such converters derive their name from the fact that ...

  6. Pentagrid converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagrid_converter

    The pentagrid converter is a type of radio receiving valve (vacuum tube) with five grids used as the frequency mixer stage of a superheterodyne radio receiver. The pentagrid was part of a line of development of valves that were able to take an incoming RF signal and change its frequency to a fixed intermediate frequency , which was then ...

  7. Nominal power (photovoltaic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_power_(photovoltaic)

    In the context of domestic PV installations, the kilowatt (symbol kW) is the most common unit for nominal power, for example P peak = 1 kW. Colloquial English sometimes conflates the quantity power and its unit by using the non-standard label watt-peak (symbol W p), possibly prefixed as in kilowatt-peak (kW p), megawatt-peak (MW p), etc.

  8. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

    A frequency changer or frequency converter is an electronic or electromechanical device that converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. The device may also change the voltage , but if it does, that is incidental to its principal purpose, since voltage conversion of alternating current is much ...

  9. Digital down converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_down_converter

    In digital signal processing, a digital down-converter (DDC) converts a digitized, band-limited signal to a lower frequency signal at a lower sampling rate in order to simplify the subsequent radio stages. The process can preserve all the information in the frequency band of interest of the original signal.
