    Is a self-powered transmitter possible?

    This video claims that the transmitter is self powered and hence needs no battery or other electric connection. Is this possible? I have never come across an electronic device that runs self-powered. Couple of things I think might happen here: 1. A solar cell in the transmitter? 2. Everytime...

    Sequel of "Impedance Matching when the Transmitter, Line and Load...."

    Then might be regarded as continuation of discussion https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/impedance-matching-when-the-transmitter-line-and-load-impedances-are-different.1009266/ where unfortunately it's not more possible to post further replies (why?). So I would like to continue it here, since...

    Impedance Matching when the Transmitter, Line and Load impedances are different

    Assume we have a general rf system where source with impedance ##Z_S## transfers a signal to a load with impedance ##Z_L## through a transmission line with impedance ##Z_T##. We want to match this system in order to maximize it's effiency: In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching...

    How Does Project 122 Snap Circuit AM Transmitter Work?

    Hi, guys! Could anyone provide an explanation about how the following AM transmitter works? It is similar to the AM transmitter for project 122 of the Snap Circuit kit by Elenco. Does it work as a switching modulator?

    Description of a telemetry transmitter

    Hi, the following statement is taken from the telemetry standard IRIG Standard 106-11: The RF signal is typically generated by filtering the baseband non-return-to-zero-level (NRZ-L) signal and then frequency modulating a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The optimum peak deviation is 0.35...

    Effect of high SWR on transmitter

    I've been reading about effect of high SWR in antenna system on my ham radio. A lot of people are talking something like - You can't have SWR higher than 1.5 to 1, it will blow final transistors of your transmitter. I've read about it and it doesn't look to be true. In fact, it seems like power...
