Depends if you want to convert an RF signal to a different frequency, as all superheterodyne circuits do (most TVs and radios). That's called a frequency mixer.

If you want to change a power line frequency to another, rectify it to DC, then chop with an inverter.

What is the Difference between frequency converter and frequency inverter?

frequency is genrally cycle per second, and frequencies may be of a dc nature or ac , devices which convert dc frequency in to an ac frequency are frequency converters and devieces which convert ac frequency in to dc frequency are frequency inverters. because in terms of power electronics, devices which convert ac to dc are called converters, and devices which convert dc in to ac are called "inverters" 'mehboob hunzai" I'm a engineers in this devices, the frequency inverter is convert AC to AC but with variable frequency output, means the frequency & voltage are adjustable; The frequency converter can convert DC to AC, like 24VDC to 220VAC and also the frequency is adjustable. One most important thing is the out power of frequency inverter just can be used for controlling AC motor, while frequency converter can be treated as normal power supply as our daily using power grid.

What is RC in electrical?

R for resistor, C for capacitor. RC circuit is a circuit built with a resistor and a capacitor. This circuit will have a typical pulse response that looks like exponential decaying and a typical resonance frequency.


How does a RC tank circuit work?

A tank circuit is an LC filter that, when at resonance, has an near infinite resistance. It is composed of an inductor in parallel with a capacitor. Resonance occurs when the magnitude of the impedance of the cap and inductor are equal. They have a fairly narrow bandwidth, which is why they are used in RF applications. They are able to 'focus in' on the desired frequency, and ignore the others. For example, if I have a simple tank circuit with a resonant frequency at 1 MHz connected to an unregulated ac function generator, and I measure the voltage across the tank circuit, when the frequency I apply is close to the resonant frequency, the amplitude of my output begins to increase. So at 900kHz, say, I might be getting 90% of the signal I apply to the circuit as my output. The impedance of this circuit increases as the frequency nears the resonance frequency of the tank. So if I set the function generator to 1MHz, the tank has extremely high impedance, and functions like an open, so I can expect my entire signal to drop across the tank circuit. Alternately, they can be used to create oscillators. Another name for a tank circuit which more useful for visualizing how it functions is the slosh circuit. When energy is applied to the slosh circuit, the cap will discharge into the inductor, and vise versa, and it will oscillate like this at the tanks resonant frequency. The energy 'sloshes' from one component to the other. This can be exploited by circuitry to make oscillators, amplifiers, voltage doublers and so on. I have not seen an RC tank circuit before, but one is theoretically possible using an active circuit called a gyrator, which consists typically of an op amp, a couple resistors, and a capacitor. A gyrator essentially makes one component function like another. If I construct a gyrator with a cap, it will function much like an inductor (not identically, there are a few differences), and likewise, I could make a psuedo-cap using an inductor based gyrator. So one could conceivably make a tank circuit using this gyrator in place of an inductor. But as far as practicality goes, I'm not sure how good of a substitute it would make, as the gyrator doesn't exhibit all of the properties of an inductor, and some active components can be quite sensitive to voltage, and extreme voltages are possible in a tank circuit configuration due to opposing phase shifts from the components. And, just to be pedantic, it would probably be called an RCQ tank circuit.


In telegraphy how you are using frequency shift keying?

Like in modems, you make digital zeros one frequency and digital ones another frequency.


How does a circuit diagram of an automatic voltage stabilizer look like?

There are several types of voltage stabilizer. Older stabilizers utilized relays that automatically broke the current flow when voltage rised above specified level - that was done sequentially with a high frequency. The simplest stabilizer is a Zener diode that is put in parallel, reverse-biased. When supply voltage is too high(greater or equal than diode reverse breakdown voltage) it'll sink excess current. The easiest stabilizers to use in electronics are integrated circuits like common 7805(positive 5 V votage stabilizer). You can find a iagram of its inner circuit in 7805 datasheet at: http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheets/400/249955_DS.pdf

How capacitor behave in alternating current?

Capacitors have an equivalent reactance of 1/jwC (ohms) where w is the angular frequency of the AC signal and C is the capacitance. As the frequency of the signal across the capacitor increases, the capacitor reactance approaches 0 (capacitor acts like a short circuit). As the frequency of the signal across the capacitor decreases, the capacitor reactance approaches infinity (capacitor acts like an open circuit). So, if you have a high frequency signal (like a step input) the capacitor will momentarily act like a short.


How does a frequency inverter work?

A frequency converter converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. Generally it's used for controlling the ac motor speed by changing the supply frequency.
