ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When I entered the master’s program at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, my aim was to become a practitioner of journalism, but the excellent faculty members I worked with helped me aspire to become a scholar. First and foremost is Dr. Stephanie Craft, who has challenged and supported me for more than a decade. I could not have completed this dissertation or this degree without her. I was also fortunate to have early encounters with Dr. Charles Davis and Dr. Don Ranly, who opened me to a world of ideas. More recently, Dr. Tim Vos and Dr. Victoria Johnson helped me identify and explore the ideas that were most important to me.

    regenerative radio receivers 2/1/16, 7:47 PM WWW.ELECTRONICS-TUTORIALS.COM Recommend 28 Share 28 4 •NEW! ‣ - Amazon Electronic Component Packs. Check out the Amazon Electronic Component Packs page. What are the basics of regenerative radio receivers? Foreword - by Ian C. Purdie VK2TIP A regenerative radio receiver is unsurpassed in comparable simplicity, weak signal reception, inherent noise-limiting and agc action and, freedom from overloading and spurious responses. The regenerative radio receiver or, even super-regenerative radio receiver or, "regen" if you prefer, are basically oscillating detector receivers. They are simple detectors which may be used for cw or ssb when adjusted for oscillation or a-m phone when set just below point of oscillation. In contrast direct conversion receivers use a separate hetrodyne oscillator to produce a signal. In the comprehensive electronic project presented here, Charles Kitchin, N1TEV has provided us with a three stage receiver project which overcomes some of the limitations of this type of receiver, principally the provision of an rf amplifier ahead of the detector. We are indeed particularly grateful to "Chuck" Kitchin, a well noted technical author, for sharing this very valuable material with us to use, learn, experiment and above all, to enjoy. Introduction to the regenerative radio receiver project designed by "Chuck" Kitchin, N1TEV The radio described here is a two band short wave receiver which is both very sensitive and very portable. It receives AM, single sideband (SSB), and CW (code) signals over a frequency range of approximately 3.5 to 12MHz. This includes the 80, 40, and 30 meter Ham bands plus several international short wave bands.

First, I would like to express my most sincere appreciation to my advisor, Dr. Michael P. Flynn, for instilling in me the qualities of being a good graduate student. His infectious enthusiasm and unlimited zeal have been major driving forces through my graduate career at The University of Michigan. Throughout my doctoral work he encouraged me to develop independent thinking and research skills. And I am particularly grateful for the advice, both technical and personal, that he has given me over the years. I would also like to thank my co-advisor, Dr. Jack R. East. Without his and Professor George I. Haddad’s continuous support, I would never be writing these lines. I would also like to thank the rest of my committee members: Professor Amir Mortazawi and Professor John P. Hayes for their invaluable feedback during my research. I would like to acknowledge Professor Kamal Sarabandi for his support of this research and for providing help during the final testing.

HOWEVER, due to the fact that the 1969 text is no longer in publication, complicated by the fact that these copies are forty-four (44) years old and in a very fragile condition, this PDF version of the text was created for student use in the Department of Mathematics and Science. - Professor Charles Rubenstein, January 2013 Man of High Fidelity: Edwin Howard Armstrong EDWIN HOWARD ARMSTRONG Was the last – and perhaps the least known – of the great American Inventors. Without his major contributions, the broadcasting industry would not be what it is today, and there would be no FM radio. But in time of mushrooming industry and mammoth corporations, the recognition of individual genius is often refused, and always minimized. This is the extraordinary true story of the discovery of high fidelity, the brilliant man and his devoted wife who battled against tremendous odds to have it adopted, and their long fight against the corporations that challenged their right to the credit and rewards. Mrs. Armstrong finally ensured that right nearly ten years after her husband’s death.

  • SOME RECENT DEVELOPMENTS of REGENERATIVE Fication Which Is Based Fundamentally on Regeneration, but Which Existing Therein) Is E
    SOME RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF REGENERATIVE CIRCUITS* BY EDWIN H. ARMSTRONG (MARCELLUS HARTLEY RESEARCH LABORATORY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK) It is the purpose of this paper to describe a method of ampli- fication which is based fundamentally on regeneration, but which involves the application of a principle and the attainment of a result which it is believed is new. This new result is obtained by the extension of regeneration into a field which lies beyond that hitherto considered its theoretical limit, and the process of amplification is therefore termed super-regeneration. Before proceeding with a description of this method it is in order to consider a few fundamental facts about regenerative circuits. It is well known that the effect of regeneration (that is, the supplying of energy to a circuit to reinforce the oscillations existing therein) is equivalent to introducing a negative resistance reaction in the circuit, which neutralizes positive resistance reaction, and thereby reduces the effective resistance of the cir- cuit. There are three conceivable relations between the nega- tive and positive resistances: namely-the negative resistance introduced may be less than the positive resistance, it may be equal to the positive resistance, or it may be greater than the positive resistance of the circuit. We will consider what occurs in a regenerative circuit con- taining inductance and capacity when an alternating electro- motive force of the resonant frequency is suddenly impressed for each of the three cases. In the first case (when the negative resistance is less than the positive), the free and forced oscillations have a maximum amplitude equal to the impnressed electomotive force over the effective resistance, and the free oscillation has a damping determined by this effective resistance.
