Modern radios are often digital affairs, in which the frequency is derived from a stable crystal oscillator and varied through a microprocessor controlled frequency synthesiser. It won’t drift, and it ...

A tuned circuit formed by a capacitor and an inductor is a familiar enough circuit, and it’s understood that it will resonate at a particular frequency. As that frequency increases, so the size of the ...

As discussed in Part 1 of this series, as the frequency of a single or coupled tuned circuits is increased, the selectivity decreases to the point that there may be insufficient selectivity at the ...

VARIABLE condensers are now so commonly employed in radio receivers to tune circuits including a constant inductance that the use, some years ago, of variable inductances or variometers with fixed ...

Noel Maginnity is a consultant in Carterton, New Zealand. An alternative audio program input is often required at a medium-wave transmission site. During STL maintenance or if the STL fails, it is ...

Most radio engineers today will recall uncomfortable evenings and cold nights spent in dog houses making antenna impedance measurements, or worse, still trying to balance a laboratory model GR bridge ...
