Best Answer

There are typically at least two oscillators involved in the transmission aspect of a radio transceiver: one is the transmission oscillator which creates a cosine waveform modified with the input key (the information being broadcasted), the other is the variable frequency oscillator which allows one to select the desired frequency for communication. On most transceivers the VFO also modifies the receiving end of the device simultaneously.

What is the basic function of tuning capacitors?

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.


Why is a crystal oscillator required in a radio transmitter?

SOME kind of oscillator is required, to create the AC signal that will be modulated, amplified, and eventually sent up to the antenna to be transmitted. It doesn't have to be a crystal oscillator, though.

How does radio transmitter works?

Summary: A radio transmitter works by converting electricity into radio-frequency energy, which is then converted to electromagnetic waves. Block by block... The most important components of a radio transmitter are the Oscillator and the Antenna. The oscillator makes the radio-frequency energy; the antenna converts it to electromagnetic waves for the receiving station to use. I say these are the most important components because you can build a whole radio transmitter with nothing but an oscillator and an antenna. There aren't many applications for such a transmitter--it can be a beacon, or if you turn it on and off fast enough you can send Morse code with it--but it's enough to put RF in the air. The next important part is the Modulator. This is the thing that lets a radio station play music instead of just sending out radio waves--it causes the radio signal to change in a way a receiver can use. It can either change the intensity of the wave--amplitude modulation--or the frequency--frequency modulation. They also put Amplifiers on radio stations, because you need a lot of power to transmit music or speech, and the oscillators made today don't put out very much of it. If you're listening to your radio and the announcer says he's on the "50,000 Watt KLMN" the amplifier is what gives him all that power.
