Writing this text involved careful incorporation of details and instruc- tion for the successful completion and operation of 20 low-power audio and video transmitter projects. Hobbyists, technicians, amateur radio operators, and general radio enthusiasts of all skill levels will find this book beneficial; however, the content is designed primarily with the needs of intermediate to advanced radio electronics technicians and experimenters in mind. For successful completion of the projects, some experience is assumed on the part of the experimenter. Project areas covered include RF circuitry and digital techniques. PC board construction is largely used with some surface mount construction where necessary. A few of the projects also use microcontrollers. This book contains construction details for audio and video transmitters operat- ing at frequencies from 150 kHz to 1300 MHz for Part 15 operation and for Novice Class Amateur use. Included are several low-power AM and FM audio transmitters, from simple, discrete designs to sophisticated PLL-synthesized types. This book also offers chapters on a frequency-synthesized AM broadcast transmitter for 150-1710 kHz, two FM transmitter designs for 88-108 MHz stereo operation, using PLL syn- thesis digital readouts and microprocessor control, several low-power (0.5-2 watt) TV transmitters covering the 440, 900, and 1300 MHz amateur bands, a data trans- mitter and receiver, and a chapter on video reception techniques for the special fre- quencies used. Other coverage includes a simple low-power CW transmitter, identifier circuits, antennas, and range information. Many projects are of the kind not often seen as published articles. They incorporate modern circuitry techniques, such as PLL syn- thesis and the use of microprocessors. All projects use standard parts and have been thoroughly tested, with PC board layouts given for most of the projects, as well as parts lists, coil data, and complete setup information. Components and suitable enclosures for several projects are available as kits from the source given in the book. These kits include all necessary parts and drilled and etched PC boards. This conve- nience simplifies parts procurement and ensures proper performance of each project. We also discuss the legal limits and ramifications of the equipment and offer sugges- tions and tips for getting the best results from the projects. A lot of effort has gone into making this book an effective, project-oriented tool for hands-on learning about successfully building low-power transmitters. We hope you will enjoy reading the fruit of our labors and working on the projects contained within. Rudolf F. Graf and William Sheets January 2001 xi This Page Intentionally Left Blank 1. Low-Power Transmitters, General The subject of low-power transmitters has always been a fascinating one for experi- menters. They enable you to operate your own radio station, broadcast music, control devices remotely without wires, do surveillance work, eavesdrop on private conver- sations, and other things such as remote sensing. Current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations allow the operation of very low-power unlicensed transmitters subject to various restrictions. These restrictions generally regulate operating range and frequency of operation, as well as possibly types of emission and duration of transmissions. The effort entailed in the construction of these devices will be well rewarded, and the knowledge and experience gained can lead to other pursuits such as ham radio, broadcasting careers, and electronic engineering. Currently, it appears that the low-power FM broadcast transmitter is a popular project. These devices broadcast in the 88–108 MHz band and can have a range of several hundred feet when a sensitive receiver is employed. FCC regulations limit range and field strength at a certain distance. No explicit restrictions are imposed on power, but a single transistor operating at 5 volts or less will easily generate a signal sufficient to accomplish all that is legally allowed for range and field strength. Modern low-power transmitters of this nature are a far cry from the one transistor approach that used to be popular years ago. This approach used an oscillator that is directly modulated with a microphone. FM is obtained by modulating the operating voltages of the oscillator, which in turn affects frequency via a change in transistor parameters. Although this hit-and-miss approach can be made to work, the modern low-power transmitters may employ varactor modulators, microprocessor-controlled frequency synthesis using a phase locked loop (PLL), audio preemphasis, audio mixing and con- trol facilities, and stereo modulator circuitry that generates a “real” baseband multi- plex signal.

Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, LIPHY, 38000 Grenoble, France Received 19 December 2019 / Accepted 17 May 2020 ABSTRACT Context. Infrared heterodyne interferometry has been proposed as a practical alternative for recombining a large number of telescopes over kilometric baselines in the mid-infrared. However, the current limited correlation capacities impose strong restrictions on the sen- sitivity of this appealing technique. Aims. In this paper, we propose to address the problem of transport and correlation of wide-bandwidth signals over kilometric dis- tances by introducing photonic processing in infrared heterodyne interferometry. Methods. We describe the architecture of a photonic double-sideband correlator for two telescopes, along with the experimental demonstration of this concept on a proof-of-principle test bed. Results. We demonstrate the a posteriori correlation of two infrared signals previously generated on a two-telescope simulator in a double-sideband photonic correlator. A degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio of 13%, equivalent to a noise factor NF = 1:15, is obtained through the correlator, and the temporal coherence properties of our input signals are retrieved from these measurements. Conclusions. Our results demonstrate that photonic processing can be used to correlate heterodyne signals with a potentially large increase of detection bandwidth.

  • Electronic Warfare Fundamentals
    ELECTRONIC WARFARE FUNDAMENTALS NOVEMBER 2000 PREFACE Electronic Warfare Fundamentals is a student supplementary text and reference book that provides the foundation for understanding the basic concepts underlying electronic warfare (EW). This text uses a practical building-block approach to facilitate student comprehension of the essential subject matter associated with the combat applications of EW. Since radar and infrared (IR) weapons systems present the greatest threat to air operations on today's battlefield, this text emphasizes radar and IR theory and countermeasures. Although command and control (C2) systems play a vital role in modern warfare, these systems are not a direct threat to the aircrew and hence are not discussed in this book. This text does address the specific types of radar systems most likely to be associated with a modern integrated air defense system (lADS). To introduce the reader to EW, Electronic Warfare Fundamentals begins with a brief history of radar, an overview of radar capabilities, and a brief introduction to the threat systems associated with a typical lADS. The two subsequent chapters introduce the theory and characteristics of radio frequency (RF) energy as it relates to radar operations. These are followed by radar signal characteristics, radar system components, and radar target discrimination capabilities. The book continues with a discussion of antenna types and scans, target tracking, and missile guidance techniques. The next step in the building-block approach is a detailed description of countermeasures designed to defeat radar systems. The text presents the theory and employment considerations for both noise and deception jamming techniques and their impact on radar systems.
