Suppose you traveled back in time—say 40,000 years into the past—and then you got stuck. What would you do? How would you rebuild all the stuff that you like? That's the premise of the book How to ...

Sometimes, it is useful to transmit a low-power radio signal to create a beacon, to send a signal carrier to a near receiver, to transmit in QRP or QRPP mode, and so on. The circuit shown here is very ...

Cambridge Consultants are claiming the world’s first fully digital radio transmitter built only from computing power. There are no analog components like a high-speed D to A converter with amplifier, ...

Solid-state technology has taken over the major AM broadcast transmitter manufacturers, and up to 40kW of solid-state power is available in FM. When making the decision to buy a new transmitter, there ...

Tuning in: interfering laser light could soon be used to generate terahertz signals. (Courtesy: iStock/arttanja) A new type of microwave radio transmitter built by physicists in the US could lead to ...

The 47-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft is back in touch with NASA — but not out of the woods — after a technical issue caused a days-long communications blackout with the historic mission, which is ...

[Mr. Carlson] likes electronics gear. Mostly old gear. The grayer the case, the greener the phosphors, and the more hammertone, the better. That’s why we’re not surprised to see him with a mammoth AM ...

Let’s start off with proof. Below is an animation of a measurement of airplanes and meteors I made using a radar system that I built with a few simple easily available pieces of hardware: two $8 RTL ...

Half the population of Syria has been displaced. Hundreds of thousands have died in the conflict and millions are fleeing. For those who remain in the country, critical infrastructure is unstable and ...

You've never heard Dean Martin like this. Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences transmitted a recording of Martin's classic "Volare" wirelessly via a ...
