VEF Spīdola (1960) Restyled VEF Spīdola-10 (1963) VEF Transistor-10 (1965), export issue of VEF Spīdola-10, with additional short wave band. Also known in UK as Convair-10 VEF Spidola ( Latvian : VEF Spīdola , Russian : ВЭФ Спидола ) was the first mass-produced transistor radio with short wave band in the Soviet Union (tube short ...
The term radio receiver is understood in this article to mean any device which is intended to receive a radio signal in order to generate useful information from the signal, most notably a recreation of the so-called baseband signal (such as audio) which modulated the radio signal at the time of transmission in a communications or broadcast system.
The ZN414 was popular amongst hobbyists, as a fully working AM radio could be made with just a few external components, a crystal earpiece and a 1.5 V cell. The original ZN414 chip from Ferranti was supplied in a 3-pin, metal TO-18 'transistor' package, whereas the GEC part and later Ferranti ones (ZN414Z) used the plastic TO-92 encapsulation.
The transistor both amplifies and rectifies the amplitude modulated (AM) radio signal. Since the base-emitter junction acts as a diode it conducts only on the positive half-cycles of the carrier wave, blocking the negative half cycles, rectifying the carrier to extract the audio modulation signal from the radio wave. The collector current is an ...
An early 2000s transistor radio (Sony Walkman SRF-S84 transistor radio, released 2001, shown without earphones) Rock 'n roll music became popular at the same time as transistor radios. Parents found that purchasing a small transistor radio was a way for children to listen to their music without using the family tube radio.
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 ...
The schematic diagram shows a typical TRF receiver. This particular example uses six triodes. It has two radio frequency amplifier stages, one grid-leak detector/amplifier and three class ‘A’ audio amplifier stages. There are 3 tuned circuits T1-C1, T2-C2, and T3-C3.
