  2. Indoor antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_antenna

    An indoor antenna is a type of radio or TV antenna placed indoors, as opposed to being mounted on the roof. They are usually considered a simple and cheap solution to receive transmissions. An indoor antenna is prone to picking up electrical noise, but digital broadcasts are resistant to this noise.

  3. Television antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_antenna

    A short antenna pole next to a house Multiple Yagi TV aerials. Antennas are commonly placed on rooftops and sometimes in attics. Placing an antenna indoors significantly attenuates the level of the available signal. [19] [20] Directional antennas must be pointed at the transmitter they are receiving; in most cases great accuracy is not needed ...

  4. Auston switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auston_switch

    An Auston switch consists of a transmission line antenna with a gap that is bridged by a semiconductor. For terahertz generation, a DC bias voltage is applied across the antenna. When light from a pulsed laser with femtosecond pulses is focused on the gap, it excites charge carriers into the semiconductor's conduction band, which are ...

  5. Optical rectenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rectenna

    Incident light on the antenna causes electrons in the antenna to move back and forth at the same frequency as the incoming light. This is caused by the oscillating electric field of the incoming electromagnetic wave. The movement of electrons is an alternating current (AC) in the antenna circuit.

  6. Light switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

    Two light switches in one box. The switch on the right is a dimmer switch. The switch box is covered by a decorative plate. The first light switch employing "quick-break technology" was invented by John Henry Holmes in 1884 in the Shieldfield district of Newcastle upon Tyne. [1]

  7. Antenna types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

    The benefit of the extensive measures needed for matching to the high impedance [j] is that the antenna can then function well on every harmonic (no exceptions, unlike a "Windom"), and hence used for transmitting on exactly twice as many frequencies as a same-size center-fed dipole (only odd harmonics feasible).

  8. Induction lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_lamp

    Its origins are in microwave discharge light sources used for ultraviolet curing in the semiconductor and printing industries. [1] Since 1994, General Electric has produced its induction lamp Genura with an integrated high frequency driver, operating at 2.65 MHz. In 1996, Osram started selling their Endura induction light system, operating at ...

  9. Duplexer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplexer

    In radar, a transmit/receive (TR) switch alternately connects the transmitter and receiver to a shared antenna. In the simplest arrangement, the switch consists of a gas-discharge tube across the input terminals of the receiver. When the transmitter is active, the resulting high voltage causes the tube to conduct, shorting together the receiver ...
