Lesson number 33. ---------------------------------------------------- Video in Russian - 11:01 https://vk.com/radioreceiver?z=video-163779953_456244562%2F138b7177b9a618a469%2Fpl_wall_-163779953 https://vk.com/radioreceiver?w=wall-163779953_72978 This video explains the basics of radio reception. At the very beginning, we are talking about the role of the receiving antenna, the main task of which is to convert the radio waves of the transmitters into the corresponding high- frequency voltages. Receiving antennas can be of various designs, since, in principle, in any conductor insulated from earth, radio transmitters induce high-frequency voltages. And here the figure shows eight types of receiving antennas. The following describes two simple outdoor antennas: L - shaped and T - shaped, their design is described. Then we talk about grounding. The role of the ground is to provide a closed circuit for the high frequency currents generated by the voltages induced in the antenna. In addition, grounding reduces interference and provides better reception of distant and weak radio stations. The following is a description of what a radio receiver is for. And a radio receiver is needed to turn antenna voltages into speech and music. It also talks about the main tasks of the radio. And in the final part, conclusions are given that it is desirable to remember.
