An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may vary from country to country, or engineering ...
Regency TR-1 transistor radio. The Regency TR-1 was the first commercially manufactured transistor radio, introduced in 1954.Despite mediocre performance, about 150,000 units were sold, due to the novelty of its small size and portability.
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 first prototype pocket transistor radio was shown by INTERMETALL, a company founded by Herbert Mataré in 1952, at the Internationale Funkausstellung Düsseldorf from August 29 to September 6, 1953. [38] [39] The first production-model pocket transistor radio was the Regency TR-1, released in October 1954. [26]

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 ...
[7] [8] The circuit is operated in the region where grid current does not occur during any portion of the carrier frequency cycle, thus the name "Infinite Impedance Detector". An example schematic diagram of an implementation using a field effect transistor is shown. As with the standard plate detector, the device is biased almost completely off.
So-called "All American Five" vacuum tube radio receivers used a power supply that could work on either AC or DC. An AC/DC receiver design is a style of power supply of vacuum tube radio or television receivers that eliminated the bulky and expensive mains transformer. A side-effect of the design was that the receiver could in principle operate ...
