Alfred B. Cook has written: 'Frequency modulation receivers' -- subject(s): Radio frequency modulation, Receivers and reception
Frequency modulation is used to broadcast radio waves to receivers. The most common use of it is in FM radio, which contains a range of radio frequencies.
Most FM receivers use 10.7 MHz as the IF.
The "tuning capacitor" in a radio is involved in determining the frequency of an oscillator somewhere in the radio. As that capacitance is varied, the frequency of the oscillator changes. If the radio device is a transmitter, then the frequency on which it's transmitting changes. If the device is a radio receiver, then the frequency of the internal "local oscillator" determines the frequency that will be selected, out of everything coming down from the antenna, and then processed, detected, amplified, and filtered, for your listening pleasure.
What is sometimes called a Radio Frequency lead is a shielded cable used beween pieces of equipement to reduce the effects of radio frequency interference.
First, capacitance is the resistance of something to a change in voltage. And capacitance exists anywhere there is a conductor that is insulated from another conductor. With that definition, anything has capacitance. And that's correct. It is also the key to understanding the capacitance in high frequency (radio frequency or RF) circuits. The fact that a circuit had conductive pathways and component leads and such means that there is a lot of little bits of capacitance distributed around the circuit. The capacitance is already there; it isn't "added" later as might be inferred. Normally, this bit of capacitance isn't a problem. But at higher and higher frequencies, it is. Remember that the higher the frequency of an AC signal, the better it goes through a given cap. So at higher and higher frequencies, the distributed capacitance in the circuit "shorts the signal to ground" and takes it out of the circuit. The RF is said to be coupled out of the circuit through the distributed capacitance in that circuit. The higher the frequency a given circuit is asked to deal with, the more signal will be lost to this effect. It's just that simple. Design considerations and proper component selection minimize the distributed capacitance in a circuit.
Advantages of a Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) receiver include simplicity in design, lower cost compared to superheterodyne receivers, and high selectivity for tuning in to specific radio frequencies. Additionally, TRF receivers can be easily modified and customized for specific applications or requirements.
A frequency synthesizer is an electronic system for generating any of a range of frequencies from a single fixed timebase or oscillator. They are found in many modern devices, including radio receivers, mobile telephones, radiotelephones, walkie-talkies, CB radios, satellite receivers, GPS systems, etc. A frequency synthesizer can combinefrequency multiplication, frequency division, and frequency mixing (the frequency mixing process generates sum and difference frequencies) operations to produce the desired output signal.
No
RF refers to 'radio frequency'. A selector switch would select a different range of radio frequencies at each of its positions. RF selector switches would be found on short wave receivers and transmitters.
hartley oscillators are mainly used in radio receivers. Also note that due to its wide range of frequencies it is the most popular oscilator
The antenna does that.
