  • Below 535 a Historical Review of Continuous Wave Radio Frequency
    Below 535 Edited by Frank Lotito, K3DZ 1428 O'Block Rd., Pittsburgh ,PA 15239 Please include SASE for reply A Historical Review of Continuous Wave Radio Frequency Power Generators Overview The many disadvantages of the spark transmitters that were the original means of radio communication eventually led to the development of better methods for generating a radio frequency signal. Herculean-type arc transmitter ably presented in Henry Bradford's recent award winning article on the Marconi transatlantic site in Nova Scotia (1) was one historically significant means of developing large amounts of r.f. power in the long-wave spectrum. This article will briefly review some others. These were the Poulsen Arc transmitter, Alexanderson and Goldschmidt HF generators, and the static frequency changers.1 Hopefully, one or more readers will be enticed to contribute detailed articles on each of these devices. Introduction nbsp; At the start of the twentieth century, wireless communication lost its curiosity status and became a practical means of spanning large distances. "King Spark" ruled the realm. But all too frequently, the spark signals filled the airwaves with a muddle of almost unintelligible overlapping messages! The interference was due to a number of major factors: 1. There was little or no regulation of the airwaves or assignment of priorities. Radio services transmitted whenever they wished and in any part of the radio frequency spectrum they desired. 2. A transmitter "horse power competition" evolved. Those who could afford the more powerful transmitters built them in order to improve their chances of being heard. 3. The very wide bandwidth of the spark transmission2 resulted in lower transmitter efficiency and communications effectiveness, while splattering the r.f.
