  2. Radio transmitter design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_transmitter_design

    A radio transmitter design has to meet certain requirements. These include the frequency of operation, the type of modulation, the stability and purity of the resulting signal, the efficiency of power use, and the power level required to meet the system design objectives. [1]

  3. Intermediate frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_frequency

    It is difficult to build multistage amplifiers, filters, and detectors that can have all stages track the tuning of different frequencies, but it is comparatively easy to build tunable oscillators. Superheterodyne receivers tune in different frequencies by adjusting the frequency of the local oscillator on the input stage, and all processing ...

  4. Transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmitter

    Commercial FM broadcasting transmitter at radio station WDET-FM, Wayne State University, Detroit, US.It broadcasts at 101.9 MHz with a radiated power of 48 kW.. In electronics and telecommunications, a radio transmitter or just transmitter (often abbreviated as XMTR or TX in technical documents) is an electronic device which produces radio waves with an antenna with the purpose of signal ...

  5. Patch antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_antenna

    4×4 array of 2.4 GHz patch antenna elements Patch antenna gain pattern. A patch antenna is a type of antenna with a low profile, usually consisting of a printed circuit board. It consists of a planar rectangular or circular sheet or "patch" of metal, mounted over a larger sheet of metal called a ground plane.

  6. Loop antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_antenna

    The smaller the loop (in wavelengths), the higher the voltage. This requires a rather expensive and physically large resonating capacitor with a large breakdown voltage, in addition to having minimal dielectric loss (normally requiring an air-gap capacitor or even a vacuum variable capacitor). Corona discharge around an antenna coil. Despite ...

  7. Balun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balun

    Isolation transformer. In classical transformers, there are two electrically separate windings of wire coils around the transformer's core. The advantage of transformer-type over other types of balun is that the electrically separate windings for input and output allow these baluns to connect circuits whose ground-level voltages are subject to ground loops or are otherwise electrically ...

  8. Frequency multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_multiplier

    The basic problem is the amplifying element is dissipating power. Switching Class C amplifiers are nonlinear, but they can be better than 50 percent efficient because an ideal switch does not dissipate any power. A clever design can use the nonlinear Class C amplifier for both gain and as a frequency multiplier.

  9. Spark-gap transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark-gap_transmitter

    The charge on the capacitor discharges as a current through the coil and spark gap. Due to the inductance of the coil when the capacitor voltage reaches zero the current doesn't stop but keeps flowing, charging the capacitor plates with an opposite polarity, until the charge is stored in the capacitor again, on the opposite plates. Then the ...
