A Hobbyist's Guide to High-Performance and Low-Powered Radio Circuits
Create sophisticated transistor radios that are inexpensive yet highly efficient.
Build Your Own Transistor Radios: A Hobbyist’s Guide to High-Performance and Low-Powered Radio Circuits
offers complete projects with detailed schematics and insights on how
the radios were designed. Learn how to choose components, construct the
different types of radios, and troubleshoot your work. Digging deeper,
this practical resource shows you how to engineer innovative devices by
experimenting with and radically improving existing designs.
Build Your Own Transistor Radios covers:
- Calibration tools and test generators
- TRF, regenerative, and reflex radios
- Basic and advanced superheterodyne radios
- Coil-less and software-defined radios
- Transistor and differential-pair oscillators
- Filter and amplifier design techniques
- Sampling theory and sampling mixers
- In-phase, quadrature, and AM broadcast signals
- Resonant, detector, and AVC circuits
- Image rejection and noise analysis methods
This is the perfect guide for electronics hobbyists and students who want to delve deeper into the topic of radio.
