  2. Parabolic antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_antenna

    Axial, prime focus, or front feed – This is the most common type of feed, with the feed antenna located in front of the dish at the focus, on the beam axis, pointed back toward the dish. A disadvantage of this type is that the feed and its supports block some of the beam, which limits the aperture efficiency to only 55–60%.

  6. Crystal radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio

    As a crystal radio has no power supply, the sound power produced by the earphone comes solely from the transmitter of the radio station being received, via the radio waves captured by the antenna. [3] The power available to a receiving antenna decreases with the square of its distance from the radio transmitter. [46]

    The AN/PRC-77 entered service in 1968 during the Vietnam War as an upgrade to the earlier AN/PRC-25.It differs from its predecessor mainly in that the PRC-77's final power amplifier stage is made with a transistor, eliminating the only vacuum tube in the PRC-25, as well as the DC-DC voltage converter used to create the high plate voltage for the tube from the 15 V battery.

  9. Infinity transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_transmitter

    An infinity transmitter (also known as a harmonica bug) is a surveillance device used to covertly monitor conversation in a room through a telephone line. Its name derives from the fact that, by using a telephone line as a transmitter, it can work at an infinite distance, unlike other bugging devices that have only a finite signal range. [ 1 ]
