The type 36 screen-grid tube (obsolete since the mid-1930s) had a non-regenerative detection gain (audio frequency plate voltage divided by radio frequency input voltage) of only 9.2 at 7.2 MHz, but in a regenerative detector, had detection gain as high as 7,900 at critical regeneration (non-oscillating) and as high as 15,800 with regeneration ...
In Fig. 8, L, C, B1 and B2 are as in Fig. 3. L2 and L3 have inductive coupling and implement the regenerative connection from grid to anode. C1 is the gridleak capacitor. C2 is a radio frequency bypass capacitor parallel to the speaker. Regenerative control is by changing the heater current via the rheostat next to B1.
Schematic of Philco model 84 A superheterodyne cathedral radio from 1933 that uses a regenerative detector. (Note: The capacitor for the detector's control grid is the "tickler coil" winding on the IF transformer.) "Radio Design Worksheet: No 39 — Detectors" (PDF). Radio. 29 (8): 51–52. August 1945.
Type 'C' Form 'A' twin detector crystal radio set, manufactured by British Thomson Houston Ltd. in 1924, kept at the Museum of the radio - Monteceneri (Switzerland) Early radio telegraphy used spark gap and arc transmitters as well as high-frequency alternators running at radio frequencies. The coherer was the first means of detecting a radio ...
The WD-11 vacuum tube, a triode, was introduced by the Westinghouse Electric corporation in 1922 for their Aeriola RF model radio and found use in other contemporary regenerative receivers (used as a detector-amplifier) including the Regenoflex and Radiola series.
Plate detector circuit with cathode bias. Cathode bias RC time constant three times period of lowest carrier frequency. C L is typically around 250 pF.. In electronics, a plate detector (anode bend detector, grid bias detector) is a vacuum tube circuit in which an amplifying tube having a control grid is operated in a non-linear region of its grid voltage versus plate current transfer ...
This 1920s TRF radio manufactured by Signal is constructed on a breadboard Tuning a TRF receiver, like this 5 tube Neutrodyne set from 1924 with two stages of RF amplification, was a complicated process. The three tuned circuits, controlled by the 3 large knobs, had to be tuned in unison to the new station.
The diagram (right) shows one of the most common single tube reflex circuits from the early 1920s. It functioned as a TRF receiver with one stage of RF and one stage of audio amplification. The radio frequency (RF) signal from the antenna passes through the bandpass filter C 1, L 1, L 2, C 2 and is applied to the grid of the directly heated ...
