File Reflex receiver DE293300.png thumb 250px Reflectional radioreceiver. The same tube amplifies both radio and audio frequencies. A reflectional radioreceiver also called a reflex radio is a radioreceiver design in which the same amplifier is used for both the high frequency radio RF and low frequency sound AF signals. The radio signal from the output of the amplifier passes detection and then re enters the input of the amplifier. During the second pass, the sound frequency is amplified then passed to the crystal earpiece earphone . The German company Telefunken applied the German patent 293300 in the year 1913 for the reflex receiver. The output of the amplifier is usually terminated by the radio frequency transformer. The amplified radio signal is taken from the secondary winding of the transformer k, passes detection by the diode l in the given example and then enters the same amplifier again as the low frequency signal through transformer o sub 1 sub . The amplified AF signal passes through transformer p sub 1 sub to the earphone.

refimprove date August 2011 An audion receiver makes use of a single vacuum tube or transistor to detect and amplify signals. It is so called because it originally used the audion tube as the active element. Unlike a crystal detector or Fleming valve detector, the audion provided amplification of the signal as well as detection. The audion was invented by Lee De Forest . Image vacuum tube audion.png In its operation, the circuit demodulates the radio frequency RF signal by rectification or square law detection, and then amplifies this demodulated signal. The capacitor in series with the grid and parallel resistance forms a Grid leak detector which allow the grid to cathode to be used as a diode . In 1915 Edwin Howard Armstrong Edwin Armstrong developed an improved regenerative form of audion receiver that used the same vacuum tube for RF amplificaton, RF detection and audio amplification. ref Derek K.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In a low IF receiver , the Radio Frequency RF Signal electrical engineering signal is mixed down to a non zero low or moderate intermediate frequency , typically a few Hertz megahertz . Low IF receiver topologies have many of the desirable properties of Direct conversion receiver zero IF architectures , but avoid the DC offset and 1 f noise problems. The use of a non zero IF re introduces the Image response image issue . However, when there are relatively relaxed image and neighbouring Electronic selectivity channel rejection requirements they can be satisfied by carefully designed low IF receivers. Image signal and unwanted blockers can be rejected by quadrature downconversion complex mixing and subsequent Electronic filter filtering . This technique is now widely used in the tiny Frequency modulation FM receivers incorporated into MP3 players and mobile phone s, and is becoming commonplace in both Analog television analog and Digital television digital TV receiver designs.

Their circuitry is optimized for stability and to enable calibration and reproducible results. Some measurement receivers also have especially robust input circuits that can survive brief impulses of more than 1000 V, as they can occur during measurements of radio signals on power lines and other conductors. Applications Measuring receivers are used with calibrated antennas to determine the signal strength and standards compliance of broadcast signals, investigate and quantify radio frequency interference, determine compliance of a device with electromagnetic interference and TEMPEST standards and regulations. Measuring receivers are also used without antennas to calibrate Radio frequency RF attenuator s and signal generator s.

Orphan date February 2009 A receiver function technique is a way to model the structure of the Earth by using the information from teleseismic earthquake teleseismic earthquakes recorded at a three component seismograph . A teleseismic P wave will generate P to S conversions at crustal boundaries beneath the seismograph. The difference in travel time between the generated S wave and P wave contains information about the distance to the boundary and if further reverberations are included more detailed structure can be resolved. This is done by deconvolution of the incoming vertical and longitudinal components of the seismogram which removed the common part of the components namely the source and travel path information.

Gurnett has been intimately involved in the key space probes sent since 1962 Ijun III, Voyager program Voyager I and II, Galileo spacecraft Galileo and Cassini Huygens amongst others . Vibrations in the audible frequency range are perceived by humans when air vibrates against their eardrum . Air, or some other vibrating medium such as water, is indispensable in the perception of sound by the human ear. Without it acting as a transmitter, the sound produced by the source will not be perceived by a human. There is no air in outer space, nor there is any other type of medium capable of transmitting any vibration from a source to a human ear. However, there are sources in outer space that do vibrate at frequencies that would be audible by a human, if only there were some sort of transmitting media to carry those vibrations from the source to a human eardrum. One such source, capable of vibrating at audible frequencies 45 to 20,000 vibrations per second is plasma. Plasma is a collection of charged particles, such as free electrons or ionized gas atoms. Examples of plasma are solar flares , solar wind , neon sign s and fluorescent lamps . Plasma interacts with electrical and magnetic fields in ways that can result in vibrations in many frequencies, including the audible range. It appears that Gurnett designed the first plasma receiver, an instrument capable of detecting the vibrations in outer space plasma. These interplanetary plasma vibrations can be transformed into sound waves or air vibrations audible to a human ear. NASA provided recordings of these interplanetary and outer space plasma vibrations to composer Terry Riley and Kronos ... use of a plasma receiver Category Plasma physics Astronomy stub ... more details
The Rio Receiver was a home stereo device for playing MP3 files stored on your computer s hard drive over an Ethernet or HomePNA network. It was later rebranded and sold as the Dell Digital Audio Receiver. With a design derived from the existing linux based Empeg Car , it became popular among the Linux hacking community. The hardware consisted of a Cirrus Logic 7212 CPU ARM architecture ARM720T at 74 MHz , 1Mx32 4 megabyte MB of EDO RAM , and either 512k 16 or 256k 16 1 MB or 0.5 MB of NOR flash used to boot. Audio output used a Burr Brown PCM1716 Digital to analog converter DAC that drove line outputs, the headphone jack, and a Tripath Switching amplifier class D digital audio amplifier for speakers. Network connections were via either a Cirrus logic 8900A 10MBit Ethernet or a Broadcom HomePNA 10 megabit Mbit s chipset if no Ethernet link was seen at boot time, the unit tried HomePNA. The user interface was a 128x64 pixel monochrome LCD with an Electroluminescence EL backlight , a rotary control with a push button, several buttons and IR remote control . The unit booted via a 2.2 linux kernel in flash which used DHCP and Simple Service Discovery Protocol SSDP to discover an NFS server from which it loaded a new kernel. The second kernel then mounted a root filesystem over NFS containing a small set of standard POSIX tools and an application for selecting and playing music over the network, which was served using HTTP by the Audio Receiver Manager software running on a Windows PC. Although the music player and the Audio Receiver Manager and Broadcom HomePNA kernel driver module were proprietary software, the kernel and other tools were open source. The two step kernel boot process allowed rapid development of changes to the kernel allowing units to run new kernels by simply ... to interoperate with various client modules for the rio receiver. http www.myhap.org.uk medianet.htm ... freshmeat.net projects yarrs YARRS Yet Another Rio Receiver Server.
