An antenna tuner, a matchbox, transmatch, antenna tuning unit (ATU), antenna coupler, or feedline coupler is a device connected between a radio transmitter or receiver and its antenna to improve power transfer between them by matching the impedance of the radio to the antenna's feedline. Antenna tuners are particularly important for use with ...
An antenna rotator (or antenna rotor) is a device used to change the orientation, within the horizontal plane, of a directional antenna. Most antenna rotators have two parts, the rotator unit and the controller. The controller is normally placed near the equipment which the antenna is connected to, while the rotator is mounted on the antenna ...
The NX-1E was not a SPC switch, rather it was a conventional path controlled switching matrix with electronic processors (computers) replacing the control, route selection and translation (directory number to line ID) functions. NX2 (Family Small 90–1800 line CDO Xbar) NX2 (Original design 1959–1960) NX2A (Improved cabinets ~1962)
Where radio transmitters and receivers share one antenna, often a coaxial relay is used as a TR (transmit-receive) relay, which switches the antenna from the receiver to the transmitter. This protects the receiver from the high power of the transmitter. Such relays are often used in transceivers which combine transmitter and receiver in one ...
The Musa connector (for Multiple Unit Steerable Array/Antenna) is a type of coaxial ("coax") connector, originally developed for the manual switching of radio signals. It has a characteristic impedance of 75 Ω, [ 1 ] and was adopted for use in the emerging television broadcast industry.
1993: Pioneer acquires a 50% investment in Live Entertainment from Carolco Pictures; 1993: Pioneer establishes Pioneer Entertainment in the U.S. as the American division of Pioneer LDC. April 1995: Pioneer writes off $90 million of losses from its investment in Carolco and Live. June 1996: Tokorozawa Plant earns ISO 14001 certification.
The Butler matrix feeds power to the elements with a progressive phase difference between elements such that the beam of radio transmission is in the desired direction. The beam direction is controlled by switching power to the desired beam port. More than one beam, or even all of them can be activated simultaneously.
The automatic kind will also lower when the ignition switch is turned off. Unlike most car antennas adjusted directly by hand, power antennas retract completely beneath the surface that they are mounted on. This convenience could be found on most luxury cars by the late-1950s. The automatic power antenna became much more common in the 1970s. [1]
