A crystal set receiver consisting of an antenna, a variable inductor, a cat's whisker, and a filter capacitor. A crystal receiver is very simple and can be easy to make or even improvise, for example, the foxhole radio. However, the crystal radio needs a strong RF signal and a long antenna to operate.
A monaural receiver, in contrast, only receives a single audio channel that is a combination (sum) of the left and right channels. [2] [3] [4] While AM stereo transmitters and receivers exist, they have not achieved the popularity of FM stereo.
The term loudspeaker may refer to individual transducers (also known as drivers) or to complete speaker systems consisting of an enclosure and one or more drivers.. To adequately and accurately reproduce a wide range of frequencies with even coverage, most loudspeaker systems employ more than one driver, particularly for higher sound pressure level (SPL) or maximum accuracy.
Angular 2.0 was announced at the ng-Europe conference 22–23 October 2014. [16] On April 30, 2015, the Angular developers announced that Angular 2 moved from Alpha to Developer Preview. [ 17 ] Angular 2 moved to Beta in December 2015, [ 18 ] and the first release candidate was published in May 2016. [ 19 ]
Beamforming or spatial filtering is a signal processing technique used in sensor arrays for directional signal transmission or reception. [1] This is achieved by combining elements in an antenna array in such a way that signals at particular angles experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference.
A horn loudspeaker is a loudspeaker or loudspeaker element which uses an acoustic horn to increase the overall efficiency of the driving element(s). A common form (right) consists of a compression driver which produces sound waves with a small metal diaphragm vibrated by an electromagnet, attached to a horn, a flaring duct to conduct the sound waves to the open air.
In the case of UK BSkyB receivers, the LNB remains powered while in standby so that the receiver can receive firmware updates and Electronic Programme Guide updates. In the United States, the LNB connected to a Dish Network receiver remains powered so the system can receive software and firmware updates and guide information over the air at night.
A four channel quadraphonic diagram showing the usual placement of speakers around the listener. Quadraphonic (or quadrophonic, also called quadrasonic or by the neologism quadio [1] [formed by analogy with "stereo"]) sound – equivalent to what is now called 4.0 surround sound – uses four audio channels in which speakers are positioned at the four corners of a listening space.
