1915 Armstrong regenerative receiver. The inventor of FM radio, Edwin Armstrong, filed US patent 1113149 in 1913 about regenerative circuit while he was a junior in college. [31] He patented the superregenerative circuit in 1922, and the superheterodyne receiver in 1918.
English: Single vacuum tube Armstrong regenerative receiver circuit, invented in 1913 by American engineer Edwin Armstrong when he was a 22 year old college student. It was widely used until the 1930s when it was replaced by TRF and superheterodyne receivers. In the regenerative receiver, the gain of the tube is increased by feeding back some ...
English: Block diagram of a regenerative radio receiver, invented by Edwin Armstrong in 1912, is a type of radio receiver widely used up until the 1930s.. It consists of a tuned circuit that serves as a bandpass filter to select the desired radio signal out of all the signals picked up by the antenna, and a combined amplifier-detector to increase the power of the signal and extract the audio ...
English: Block diagram of a regenerative radio receiver, a type of radio receiver widely used before World War 2. It consists of a tuned circuit that serves as a bandpass filter to select the desired radio signal out of all the signals picked up by the antenna, and a combined amplifier-detector to increase the power of the signal and extract the audio modulation (sound) signal from from the ...
By 1912, vacuum tube operation was understood, and regenerative circuits using high-vacuum tubes were appreciated. While growing up, Armstrong had experimented with the early temperamental, "gassy" Audions. Spurred by the later discoveries, he developed a keen interest in gaining a detailed scientific understanding of how vacuum tubes worked.
In 1914 Edwin Armstrong described the audion receiver. [1] In 1915 he described some regenerative audion receivers. [2] Fig.3 shows the audion, Fig. 8 the tickler coil regenerative audion and Fig. 9 the Miller effect regenerative audion. All circuits use one tube for RF amplification, RF demodulation and audio amplification.
The Armstrong oscillator [1] (also known as the Meissner oscillator [2]) is an electronic oscillator circuit which uses an inductor and capacitor to generate an oscillation. The Meissner patent from 1913 describes a device for generating electrical vibrations, a radio transmitter used for on–off keying .
He patented the regenerative circuit in 1914, the superheterodyne receiver in 1918 and the super-regenerative circuit in 1922. [13] Armstrong presented his paper, "A Method of Reducing Disturbances in Radio Signaling by a System of Frequency Modulation", (which first described FM radio) before the New York section of the Institute of Radio ...
