  2. Block upconverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_upconverter

    Modern BUCs convert from the L band to K u band, C band and K a band. Older BUCs convert from a 70 MHz intermediate frequency (IF) to K u band or C band. Most BUCs use phase-locked loop local oscillators and require an external 10 MHz frequency reference to maintain the correct transmit frequency.

  3. 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.

  4. Transverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverter

    A transverter for ATV operation on 5.7 GHz. In radio engineering, a transverter is a radio frequency device that consists of an upconverter and a downconverter in one unit. . Transverters are used in conjunction with transceivers to change the range of frequencies over which the transceiver can commu

  5. AC/DC receiver design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC/DC_receiver_design

    So-called "All American Five" vacuum tube radio receivers used a power supply that could work on either AC or DC. An AC/DC receiver design is a style of power supply of vacuum tube radio or television receivers that eliminated the bulky and expensive mains transformer. A side-effect of the design was that the receiver could in principle operate ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Superheterodyne receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheterodyne_receiver

    A 5-tube superheterodyne receiver manufactured by Toshiba circa 1955 Superheterodyne transistor radio circuit circa 1975. A superheterodyne receiver, often shortened to superhet, is a type of radio receiver that uses frequency mixing to convert a received signal to a fixed intermediate frequency (IF) which can be more conveniently processed than the original carrier frequency.

  8. Peak envelope power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_envelope_power

    Peak envelope power (PEP) is the average power over a single radio frequency cycle at the crest of the modulation. This is a Federal Communications Commission definition. PEP is normally considered the occasional or continuously repeating crest of the modulation envelope under normal operating conditions.
