Sometimes, it is useful to transmit a low-power radio signal to create a beacon, to send a signal carrier to a near receiver, to transmit in QRP or QRPP mode, and so on. The circuit shown here is very ...

A new ultra-low-power method of communication at first glance seems to violate the laws of physics. It is possible to wirelessly transmit information simply by opening and closing a switch that ...

Note: we are working to recover the figures for this article. The process of designing a short-range radio system can be complex and often involves many project tradeoffs (Fig. 1). With a little ...

This article is intended to introduce the beginner to the interesting and challenging art of high frequency radio design. It is also intended to entice the seasoned professional to take a deeper look ...

For good reception, a radio must have good selectivity (selectivity is a radio's ability to separate weak stations and strong stations on the FM dial) and good sensitivity (the ability to receive weak ...

With this circuit, a single transmitter and simple set of user pushbuttons can initiate one of four different outputs, two at each of two remote receivers with very different applications. The ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The transmitter converts the digital HDMI signal it gets from the source into a radio frequency signal, which is then broadcast wirelessly ...

In a special report late last year we explored the fairly recent discovery of inadvertent “capture” of out-of-market HD digital radio signals by receivers tuned to local stations on the same frequency ...
