MODULATION STAGE [7 records]

Record 1 2009-11-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Telecommunications Transmission
CONT

Low-power modulation. In an AM transmitter modulation of an RF stage prior to the final high-power stage. This system has the advantage that the modulator need only be of low power but the stage following the modulated amplifier must be linear to avoid distortion of the modulation envelope.

Key term(s)
  • low level modulation
  • low power modulation

French

Domaine(s)
  • Émission et réception radio
  • Transmission (Télécommunications)

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Radiotransmisión y radiorrecepción
  • Transmisión (Telecomunicaciones)
DEF

Modulación de la portadora de un transmisor de radio efectuada en una etapa anterior al amplificador de radiofrecuencia final.

Record 2 2009-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Telecommunications Transmission
CONT

The transmitter is capable of operating on any frequency between 14 and 100 meters, and 112. 5 and 150 meters and employs class B modulation on the final power stage.

CONT

Collins radio telegraph equipment ... used ideas that were later widely adopted in the radio field. These included multiple pretuned frequency bays, which allowed the operator to make quick frequency changes, and class B modulation, which permitted large audio power from relatively small tubes.

Designación de un sistema de modulación de amplitud en cuya etapa final de la amplificación de frecuencia de la modulación se emplea el funcionamiento de un tubo electrónico en clase B.

Record 3 2009-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Telecommunications Transmission
CONT

High-power modulation. In an AM transmitter amplitude modulation of the carrier by introducing the modulating signal into the anode circuit of the final amplifying stage. The power of the modulating signal thus approximates to that at the transmitter output.

CONT

Modulation is also identified as to level. High level modulation occurs when the modulating voltage is applied to the collector/plate circuit of the final power amplifier. With high level modulation, the final stage is operated class C and the preceding stages are also operated class C. The overall efficiency of such a transmitter is very high. A disadvantage of high level modulation is that comparatively high audio power is needed and several stages of voltage and power amplification may be required in the speech amplifier and modulator circuits.

CONT

The sub-modulator is transformer-coupled to the modulator comprising two valves M. A. 12/15000, which is also transformer-coupled to the anode-lead of the fifth H. F. [high frequency] stage, thus providing anode modulation in the H. F. power-amplifier stage.
