This AM receiver circuit is based ob the IC ZN415 introduced by Ferranti. This IC is an improved version of the early ZN414. It is a complete AM radio receiver and does not need IF transformers and ...

A crystal radio is basically a high Q resonator tied to an antenna and an envelope detector. These days the envelope detector is a point contact diode such as a 1N34 Germanium diode. The resonant ...

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 ...

Building radio receivers from scratch is still a popular project since it can be done largely with off-the-shelf discrete components and a wire long enough for the bands that the radio will receive.

AT a meeting of the Students Section of the Institution of Electrical Engineers held on November 16, Mr. C. W. Eggleton read a paper on “The Frequency Stability of Tuned Circuits”. The author dealt ...

As the roaring twenties came to a close, radio technology would continue to evolve with significant improvements to consumer sets, particularly in the area of shortwave reception. Read my past ...

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 ...
