John Henry Warburton Master of Philosophy Southampton Solent University Faculty of Media, Arts and Society July 2010 Tutor Mike Richards 3 of 3 Picture Radio: Will pictures, with the change to digital, transform radio? By John Henry Warburton Abstract This work looking at radio over the last 80 years and digital radio today will consider picture radio, one way that the recently introduced DAB1 terrestrial digital radio could be used. Chapter one considers the radio history including early picture radio and television, plus shows how radio has come from the crystal set, with one pair of headphones, to the mains powered wireless with built in speakers. These radios became the main family entertainment in the home until television takes over that role in the mid 1950s. Then radio changed to a portable medium with the coming of transistor radios, to become the personal entertainment medium it is today. Chapter two and three considers the new terrestrial digital mediums of DAB and DRM2 plus how it works, what it is capable of plus a look at some of the other digital radio platforms. Chapter four examines how sound is perceived by the listener and that radio broadcasters will need to understand the relationship between sound and vision. We receive sound and then make pictures in the mind but to make sense of sound we need codes to know what it is and make sense of it. Chapter five will critically examine the issues of commercial success in radio and where pictures could help improve the radio experience as there are some things that radio is restricted to as a sound only medium. -

Released in December 1957, the TR-63 was Sony's first pocket-size transistor radio.

Made in New Zealand: the Pacemaker Transistor Radio
By Dr Hugo Holden called an 'additive mixer'. However, Made in New Zealand: the this is misleading because the mixing process involves multiplication of the Pacemaker transistor radio incoming signal with the oscillator signal, not addition. plus a look at mixers, RF stages & image rejection The fundamental principle of the superheterodyne (or superhet) radio involves frequency conversion. This is done by converting the received signal frequency down to a lower frequency called the 'intermediate frequency' or IF. This is why mixers are sometimes also called 'converters'. In typical transistor radios, the IF is nominally 455kHz. The following IF amplifier stage is usually composed of two transistors and three IF trans- formers but some radios, such as the Pacemaker, only have one IF transistor and two IF transformers. Most of a transistor radio's signal gain and selectivity is in the IF am- plifier. While the IF transformers are tuned to a centre frequency of 455kHz, their bandwidth is still wide enough to pass audio frequencies through to the detector. This bandwidth is typically between ±3kHz and ±5kHz. The preceding converter stage usu- ally takes one of two forms: either A vital part of any AM superhet transistor a mixer transistor with a separate oscillator transistor feeding it or, radio is the mixer or mixer-oscillator and more commonly, a single-transistor this month we take a look at how these oscillator which also acts as a mixer. The latter is commonly referred to as circuits work. We also describe the New a 'mixer-oscillator'. Zealand-made Pacemaker Transportable When the received (ie, tuned) signal is 'mixed' with the oscillator signal, radio and compare its main features with sum and difference components of the Sony TR-72 described last month. -

Stop. And listen. Imagine a place where you can hear crystal-clear music, choose from hundreds of new stations not available on radio today and see the artist name and title on your screen – all without interference. Welcome to the world of digital radio. With millions of people around the world now able to receive digital radio transmissions, this sound is well within your reach. Digital radio is taking the old broadcast medium into the digital age. Digital radio is almost immune to the sort of interference that can make listening to today’s conventional AM or FM radio less than satisfying. If you listen to FM in the car, you may have noticed hisses and pops as you drive along. That’s caused by multipath interference when the FM signal bounces off buildings, trees and hills and arrives at your receiver out-of-phase with the main signal, confusing the transmission. -

Photo courtesy museum For the first 50 years after its invention, the radio was essentially a piece of furniture. Families sat huddled around a wooden appliance, which used a large amount of energy and was too fragile to be carried around because of the breakable vacuum tubes inside. Then, on this day in 1954, the nature of consumer electronics changed forever: listeners could carry around a Then, on this day in 1954, the nature of consumer electronics changed forever: listeners could carry around a small device and enjoy their music on the go. Before the Walkman, the iPod or the iPhone, it all started with the introduction of the first commercial transistor radio, currently on display at the American History Museum. The research that led to the transistor replacing the vacuum tube was based on work done during World War II, says Harold Wallace, a curator at the museum. “There was a tremendous push during the war to reduce the size and power consumption of vacuum tubes,” he says, particularly because the receivers used in radio- controlled bombs depended on vacuum tube technology. “Not long after the war ended, the transistor was developed at Bell Labs, in 1947.” The transistor came to replace the vacuum tube in a wide range of devices. -
