It primarily focuses on ap- 17 plications viewed from the perspective of a semiconductor supplier who, over the 18 years, has been involved not only in the manufacture of RF transistors, but also 19 their use in receivers, transmitters, plasma generators, magnetic resonance imag- 20 ing, etc. 21 Since the late 1960s, Motorola Semiconductors has been at the forefront in the 22 development of solid state transistors for use at radio frequencies. The authors 23 have been a part of this development since 1970. Much information has been ac- 24 quired during this time, and it is our intention in writing this book to make the 25 bulk of that information available to users of RF transistors in a concise manner 26 and from a single source.

    Citizens’ Band Radio equipment– information and operation Citizens’ Band (CB) radio spectrum use – information and operation Of 364 Guidance Publication date: March 2018 Citizens’ Band Radio equipment– information and operation Contents Section Page 1 Regulatory and equipment information 1 2 Frequently asked questions 5 3 CB operating practice 8 Citizens’ Band Radio equipment– information and operation Section 1 Regulatory and equipment information Citizens’ Band (‘CB’) radio 1.1 Citizens’ Band (‘CB’) radio operates in the 27 MHz band. It is a short-range radio service for both hobby and business use. It is designed to be used without the need for technical qualifications. However, its use must not cause interference to other radio users. Consequently, only radios meeting certain specific requirements may be used. These are described below. How Ofcom authorises the use of CB radio 1.2 Ofcom seeks to reduce regulation, where possible. In 2006, we therefore made exemption regulations1, removing the need for a person to hold a licence to operate CB radio equipment using Angle Modulation (FM/PM). 1.3 In 2014, Ofcom made further exemption regulations2, which permitted the operation of CB radio equipment using two additional modes of Amplitude Modulation (AM) - Double Side Band (DSB) and Single Side Band (SSB). This followed an international agreement3 made in 2011.”. 1.4 CB users share spectrum in a frequency band used by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). CB users must therefore accept incoming interference caused by use of this spectrum by the MOD. 1.5 CB radio equipment must be operated on a 'non-interference’ basis.

  • Recommendation ITU-R V.573-4
    Rec. ITU-R V.573-5 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R V.573-5* Radiocommunication vocabulary (1978-1982-1986-1990-2000-2007) Scope This Recommendation provides the main vocabulary reference, giving synonymous terms in three languages and the associated definitions. It includes terms given in Article 1 of the Radio Regulations (RR) and extends the list to technical terms defined in texts of the ITU-R. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that Article 1 of the Radio Regulations (RR) contains the definitions of terms for regulatory purposes; b) that the Radiocommunication Study Groups have a need to establish new and amended definitions for technical terms that do not appear in RR Article 1 or that are so defined as to be unsuitable for Radiocommunication Study Group purposes; c) that it would be desirable for some of these terms and definitions established by the Radiocommunication Study Groups to be more widely used within the ITU-R, recommends that the terms listed in RR Article 1 and in Annex 1 below should be used as far as possible with the meaning ascribed to them in the corresponding definition. NOTE 1 – Study Groups are invited, where there is a difficulty in using any of the terms with the meaning given in the corresponding definition, to forward to the Coordination Committee for Vocabulary (CCV) a proposal for revision or alternative application, accompanied by substantiating argument. NOTE 2 – A number of terms in this Recommendation appear also in RR Article 1 with a different definition. These terms are identified by (RR . ., MOD) or (RR . .(MOD)) if the modifications consist only of editorial changes.

  • DC Input” the Original Way to Lay Down the Maximum Permitted Power Was in Terms of “DC Input” to the Final Stage
    The G4EGQ RAE COURSE Lesson 13Pt2 Transmitter RF Measurements Moving on from “DC input” The original way to lay down the maximum permitted power was in terms of “DC input” to the final stage. This also made the assumption that the final valve or transistor would not exceed certain operating efficiencies (Class A 50%; Class B 66.6% and Class C 80%) The above transmitter is being operated at the “old fashioned limit” of 150 watts DC input. It is either a FM or CW (key down) transmitter. [FM= frequency modulated; CW = carrier wave (Morse)] More precise measurements can now be made using a calibrated oscilloscope. It shows the transmitter connected to a 100Ω dummy load. The oscilloscope is displaying the RF waveform by connecting it across the dummy load. The display shows the carrier wave. Being FM or CW (with the key held down) is has constant amplitude. The RF power out from the transmitter is 100 Watts. This results in 1 Amp flowing through the 100Ω dummy load resistor. The RF voltage across this dummy load, as indicated by the oscilloscope, is 100 volts. Amplitude modulation The 100 watt carrier is then fully amplitude modulated.(100%) by a sine wave audio tone. The resultant RF output is displayed on the oscilloscope. The radio frequency is very high compared with the audio frequency and the individual RF cycles may merge into each other on the screen and just appear as a green “modulation envelope”. The carrier now varies between zero and twice the amplitude of the original (unmodulated) carrier.

Yes, there are. Ever since the intro- duction of digital transmission technology, it has been necessary to deal with such orders of magnitude. RF power components must be suitably dimensioned to handle the expected voltage peaks and avoid break- ing down. If we can determine the crest factor, i.e. the ratio of the peak value to the average or RMS value, with sufficient accuracy (even though it can only be assessed statistically), then we will have solved the question of dimensioning power components. This Application Note is intended to help with this problem by providing some useful insights including basic formulas, some statistical background and a practical look at the limiting factors when it comes to dealing with real transmitter systems.

    April 27, 2017 FCC FACT SHEET* Part 95 Personal Radio Service Reform Report and Order - WT Docket No. 10-119 Background: The Commission’s Part 95 Personal Radio Services (PRS) rules address a wide variety of wireless devices that are used by the general public to satisfy personal communications needs. These devices generally use low-power transmitters, communicate over shared radio frequencies, and (with a few exceptions) do not require an individual FCC license for each user. Some common examples of PRS devices include walkie-talkies; radio control toy cars, boats, and planes; hearing assistance devices; CB radios; medical implant devices; and Personal Locator Beacons. This draft Report and Order completes a thorough review of the PRS rules in order to modernize them, remove outdated requirements, and reorganize them to make it easier to find information. As a result of this effort, the rules will become consistent, clear, and concise. What the Rules Would Do: GMRS/FRS Reform. General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) and Family Radio Service (FRS) devices are both used for personal communications over several miles. The public may be most familiar with FRS walkie-talkies. While GMRS and FRS share spectrum, GMRS provides for greater communications range and requires an FCC license, while FRS does not require a license. The rules will increase the number of communications channels for both GMRS and FRS, expand digital capabilities to GMRS (currently allowed for FRS), and increase the power/range for certain FRS channels to meet consumer demands for longer range communications (while maintaining higher power capabilities for licensed GMRS).
