Master the Radio Arts
I’ve noticed that very often, the first active device that students see if they study any kind of electronics past high school is the Op Amp, and only later are they introduced to the humble transistor. From a teaching point of view, I can understand this choice. Op Amps can be treated as a very … Read more
Introduction Why start with amplifiers? Aren’t they complicated? Many would consider starting with antennas or filters as a better introduction to radio circuit theory. These are conceptually more simple (although if you dig far enough, antenna theory can be very intimidating as well). However, I think starting your adventure into the realm of radio with … Read more
While at first glance the schematic for a full radio receiver or transmitter may seem incredibly complex, once you know what you are looking for you can isolate certain parts of the schematic to simplify the process. To understand schematics for radio circuits, you need to be able to isolate these blocks and understand them. … Read more
First off, thank you for stopping by! If you’re reading this, chances are you’re at least somewhat interested in the radio arts. In this series of blog posts, lessons, experiments and examples, my goal is to bring you from a high school student’s perspective on electronics, to a fully fledged radio experimenter, using the concepts … Read more
