  • Mm100 and Dp100 Tm High Definition Matchmaker
    MM100 AND DP100 TM HIGH DEFINITION MATCHMAKER OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL © Copyright 1997-2005, Audio Technologies Incorporated - Printed in USA Audio Technologies Inc. | 154 Cooper Road #902 | West Berlin, NJ 08091 | Voice 856-719-9900 | Fax 856-719-9903 | www. audio.com DESCRIPTION Channels LL and RR of both the DP100 and the MM100 convert unbalanced IHF inputs via RCA phono jacks J1 and J2 into transformer balanced 600 ohm XLR outputs at J3 and J4. The RCA inputs are RF bypassed and diode protected from excessive level. Panel gain controls R9 and R10 allow a reference +4dBm output to be set for inputs ranging from less than .1V to over 1.0V and will allow many playback devices having front panel output level controls to be simply preset to their maximum. The input stages A1-3 and A1-4 provide a stage gain adjustable from +8 to -24dB. Output stages A2-1 and A2-2 provide 14dB additional gain and the total isolation, faraday shielding, superior balance, improved RF immunity and ease of application of a true transformer coupled balanced output. A unique feedback technique totally avoids the transformers characteristic limitations of high distortion, poor response and hum pickup. Typical output distortion measurements made at both peak (+22dBm) and nominal (+4dBm) levels barely exceed generator residuals at .004% from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Hum pickup from the power supply is non-existent and flat response is greatly extended. The output is protected from short circuits but will drive over a half mile of shielded cable with less than 1dB of signal rolloff at 20,000sHz.

  • Rf Energy Harvesting and Wireless Power Transfer
    International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering (IJECE) ISSN 2278-9901 Vol. 2, Issue 4, Sep 2013, 25-32 © IASET RF ENERGY HARVESTING AND WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER P. KRISHNACHAITANYA & A. PUSHPALATHA Computational Engineering, RGUKT-APIIIT, Andhra Pradesh, India ABSTRACT Radio Frequency Energy harvesting is a research topic of increasing interest, related to sustainability, which could become a promising alternative to existing energy resources. RF energy harvesting holds a promise able future for generating a small amount of electrical power to drive partial circuits in wirelessly communicating electronic devices. The paper will show all the activities addressed to design a wideband system to recover wideband energy from electromagnetic sources present in the environment. The main idea is to develop battery-free wireless sensors able to capture the available energy into the mentioned bandwidth. The energy of RF waves used by devices can be harvested and used to operate in more effective and efficient way. This paper highlights the performance of energy harvesting in an efficient way by using a simple voltage doubler. With slight modifications we attained high output voltage from harvested RF energy. KEYWORDS: Energy Harvesting, RF Energy, Voltage Doubler, Impedance Matching, Recteanna INTRODUCTION In recent years the use of wireless devices is growing in many applications like mobile phones, laptops or sensor networks. This increase in wireless applications has generated an increasing use of batteries. Many research teams are working on the autonomy of the batteries by reducing the consumption of the devices and to improve the energy density of batteries. Through the years, technology has allowed the cellular phone to shrink not only the size of the ICs, but also the batteries.
