Unreferenced date December 2009 In a low IF receiver , the Radio Frequency RF Signal electrical engineering signal is mixed down to a non zero low or moderate intermediate frequency , typically a few Hertz megahertz . Low IF receiver topologies have many of the desirable properties of Direct conversion receiver zero IF architectures , but avoid the DC offset and 1 f noise problems. The use of a non zero IF re introduces the Image response image issue . However, when there are relatively relaxed image and neighbouring Electronic selectivity channel rejection requirements they can be satisfied by carefully designed low IF receivers. Image signal and unwanted blockers can be rejected by quadrature downconversion complex mixing and subsequent Electronic filter filtering . This technique is now widely used in the tiny Frequency modulation FM receivers incorporated into MP3 players and mobile phone s, and is becoming commonplace in both Analog television analog and Digital television digital TV receiver designs.

File Reflex receiver DE293300.png thumb 250px Reflectional radioreceiver. The same tube amplifies both radio and audio frequencies. A reflectional radioreceiver also called a reflex radio is a radioreceiver design in which the same amplifier is used for both the high frequency radio RF and low frequency sound AF signals. The radio signal from the output of the amplifier passes detection and then re enters the input of the amplifier. During the second pass, the sound frequency is amplified then passed to the crystal earpiece earphone . The German company Telefunken applied the German patent 293300 in the year 1913 for the reflex receiver. The output of the amplifier is usually terminated by the radio frequency transformer. The amplified radio signal is taken from the secondary winding of the transformer k, passes detection by the diode l in the given example and then enters the same amplifier again as the low frequency signal through transformer o sub 1 sub . The amplified AF signal passes through transformer p sub 1 sub to the earphone.

Orphan date February 2009 A receiver function technique is a way to model the structure of the Earth by using the information from teleseismic earthquake teleseismic earthquakes recorded at a three component seismograph . A teleseismic P wave will generate P to S conversions at crustal boundaries beneath the seismograph. The difference in travel time between the generated S wave and P wave contains information about the distance to the boundary and if further reverberations are included more detailed structure can be resolved. This is done by deconvolution of the incoming vertical and longitudinal components of the seismogram which removed the common part of the components namely the source and travel path information.

Audio output used a Burr Brown PCM1716 Digital to analog converter DAC that drove line outputs, the headphone jack, and a Tripath Switching amplifier class D digital audio amplifier for speakers. Network connections were via either a Cirrus logic 8900A 10MBit Ethernet or a Broadcom HomePNA 10 megabit Mbit s chipset if no Ethernet link was seen at boot time, the unit tried HomePNA.

Orphan date February 2009 A plasma receiver is an instrument capable of detecting the vibrations in outer space plasma physics plasma . It may have been Donald Gurnett , University of Iowa Professor of Physics , who invented the Plasma receiver. Gurnett has been intimately involved in the key space probes sent since 1962 Ijun III, Voyager program Voyager I and II, Galileo spacecraft Galileo and Cassini Huygens amongst others . Vibrations in the audible frequency range are perceived by humans when air vibrates against their eardrum . Air, or some other vibrating medium such as water, is indispensable in the perception of sound by the human ear. Without it acting as a transmitter, the sound produced by the source will not be perceived by a human. There is no air in outer space, nor there is any other type of medium capable of transmitting any vibration from a source to a human ear. However, there are sources in outer space that do vibrate at frequencies that would be audible by a human, if only there were some sort of transmitting media to carry those vibrations from the source to a human eardrum. One such source, capable of vibrating at audible frequencies 45 to 20,000 vibrations per second is plasma. Plasma is a collection of charged particles, such as free electrons or ionized gas atoms. Examples of plasma are solar flares , solar wind , neon sign s and fluorescent lamps . Plasma interacts with electrical and magnetic fields in ways that can result in vibrations in many frequencies, including the audible range. It appears that Gurnett designed the first plasma receiver, an instrument capable of detecting the vibrations in outer space plasma. These interplanetary plasma vibrations can be transformed into sound waves or air vibrations audible to a human ear. NASA provided recordings of these interplanetary and outer space plasma vibrations to composer Terry Riley and Kronos ...
