  2. Radio transmitter design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_transmitter_design

    A radio transmitter or just transmitter is an electronic device which produces radio waves with an antenna. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies between about 30 Hz and 300 GHz. The transmitter itself generates a radio frequency alternating current, which is applied to the antenna. When excited by this alternating current, the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_block_downconverter

    Cross-section across a low-noise block downconverter Viewing of the pin and the horn antenna in a low-noise block downconverter. The LNB gets its power from the receiver or set-top box, using the same coaxial cable that carries signals from the LNB to the receiver. This phantom power travels to the LNB; opposite to the signals from the LNB.

  4. Low-frequency radio range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-frequency_radio_range

    Low-frequency radio range audio signals: N stream, A stream and combined uniform tone (simulated sounds) The low-frequency radio range, also known as the four-course radio range, LF/MF four-course radio range, A-N radio range, Adcock radio range, or commonly "the range", was the main navigation system used by aircraft for instrument flying in the 1930s and 1940s, until the advent of the VHF ...

  5. Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-sideband_suppressed...

    DSB-SC is basically an amplitude modulation wave without the carrier, therefore reducing power waste, giving it a 50% efficiency. This is an increase compared to normal AM transmission (DSB) that has a maximum efficiency of 33.333%, since 2/3 of the power is in the carrier which conveys no useful information and both sidebands containing identical copies of the same information.

  6. Block upconverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_upconverter

    Many smaller BUCs also get their direct current (DC) over the feedline, using an internal DC block. BUCs are generally used in conjunction with low-noise block converters (LNB). The BUC, being an up-converting device, makes up the "transmit" side of the system, while the LNB is the down-converting device and makes up the "receive" side.

  7. Block diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_diagram

    A block diagram is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks. [1] They are heavily used in engineering in hardware design , electronic design , software design , and process flow diagrams .

  8. Amplitude-shift keying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude-shift_keying

    ASK diagram. ASK system can be divided into three blocks. The first one represents the transmitter, the second one is a linear model of the effects of the channel, the third one shows the structure of the receiver. The following notation is used: h t (f) is the carrier signal for the transmission; h c (f) is the impulse response of the channel

  9. Radio receiver design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_receiver_design

    Here we show block diagrams for typical superheterodyne receivers for AM and FM broadcast respectively. This particular FM design uses a modern phase locked loop detector, unlike the frequency discriminator or ratio detector used in earlier FM receivers. A schematic of a simple superhet broadcast FM receiver.
