Duplexer or Diplexer

Confused? Essentially there is no difference, be it a Diplexer that has the capability to handle power isolating the RX, or the design allowing the split of the ports to handle power in both directions. To the purists, the definition stated in the linked site is correct, but in practice a device that either combines two differing frequencies to one […]

What is Emphasis?

With any electrical signals, being the transmission over wires or radio, or the process of converting analog to digital or for whatever purpose, this will require some form of signal conditioning. The reason is that the converting process creates problems either to obtain acceptable signal to noise ratio or signal linearity. With digital conversion of an analog system the technique […]

Simple compressor limiter

Simple compressor limiter Some years ago I designed a peak limiter to achieve more speech power when using single side band transmission, at the time National Semiconductors made a compressor IC that allowed to adjust the centre frequency thus where the compression took place. This value of C was such that it accommodated the frequency range of 300 Hz to […]
