Science Theme Crossword Puzzle for March 14th

Science Theme Crossword Puzzle for March 14th, 2021 - RF CafeThis Science-Theme Crossword Puzzle for March 14th has many words and clues related to... you guessed it... RF engineering - and mathematics, chemistry, physics, and other technical words. As always, this crossword contains no names of politicians, mountain ranges, exotic foods or plants, movie stars, or anything of the sort unless it/he/she is related to this puzzle's technology theme (e.g., Hedy Lamarr or the Bikini Atoll). The technically inclined cruciverbalists amongst us will appreciate the effort. Enjoy!

Ceramic Capacitors

Ceramic Capacitors, June 1954 Radio-Electronics - RF CafeToday's ceramic capacitors are vastly different from most of those from the middle of the last century. While the ceramic capacitor in your modern electronic circuit is likely in the form of a thin circular or rectangular package, or of a tiny surface mount outline, those described in this Radio-Electronics magazine article were rather large tubular devices that had the appearance of a wirewound power resistor. The advantages of ceramic capacitors over other types available in the 1950 (paper and mica) are basically the same as today - high voltage handling and tight tolerances of down to ±1%. Table I lays out a comparison. Wikipedia has an extensive comparison of modern capacitor types, illustrating how far technology has advanced since then...

Networks Track GPS Interference Around the World

Networks Track GPS Interference Around the World - RF Cafe"When Kevin Wells's private jet lost its GPS reception on the approach to Hayward Executive Airport in California's Bay Area in February 2019, he whipped out his phone and started filming the instrument panel. For a few seconds, the signals from over a dozen GPS satellites can be seen to blink off, before slowly returning as Wells continues his descent and eventually makes a safe landing. Wells was quick to film the incident because this was not the first time he had suffered GPS problems. Less than a month earlier, his Cessna had been hit by a similar outage, at almost the identical location. 'At that point it was pretty clear to me that it was either inadvertent or purposeful jamming,' he told IEEE Spectrum. 'And I wanted to track it down.' Wells had fallen victim to GPS interference events..."

Magnetic Phenomena Quiz

Magnetic Phenomena Quiz, February 1962 Popular Electronics - RF CafeIf terms like "magnetostriction," "mu-metal," and "D-ring" arouse your technostimulus receptors, then this quiz on Magnetic Phenomena should be just what you've been waiting for. It appeared in a 1962 edition of Popular Electronics, but the principles therein have not changed since then. I must admit that I had never given thought to the orientation in which bar magnets should be stored when in close proximity to each other, especially since trying to store them the "wrong" way results in them trying to reconfigure themselves to the "right" way automatically. Not mentioned here is that a soft iron or other ferrous metal should be placed across the ends to help concentrate the magnetic fields within the magnets, thereby reducing the possibility of demagnetization due...

End to End Communications for Trains

 End to End Communications for Trains, October 1944 Radio News - RF CafeHere's a good article for the train lovers out there (there are many). According to an article I found in the Allentown Morning Call, the world's first radio broadcast from a moving train took place on Sunday, March 27, 1932. The feat was accomplished by radio station WJZ out of New Jersey, while aboard a Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) train. As reported in Radio News magazine a decade later, radio was being used for reliable communications between not only the attached cars (which also often had some wired interconnections), but between other trains and between the train and depots and switch yards. Given the era, no doubt the accomplishment relied at least partly on technology developed during World War II. Radio facsimile allowed printed messaging to replace the previous method of using a hook to snatch...

Carl & Jerry: He Went That-a-Way!

Carl & Jerry: He Went That-a-Way!, March 1959 Popular Electronics - RF CafeThis might be the first (and only) appearance of Carl's father, at least in a drawing. In this episode, John T. Frye's high-tech teen duo Carl and Jerry design and build a "polecat detector." In the process, a little drama is thrown in when a stander-by mistakenly believes he is being insulted. Even if, in spite of the detailed description by Jerry, you don't learn how a photocell-based threshold crossing circuit works, you might just learn the meaning of 'lugubriously.' Mr. Frye always worked valuable technical information into his stories about "Carl & Jerry," "Mac's Service Shop," and other regular features which appeared in electronics magazines for decades.

UK Engineer Salary Survey 2020

UK Engineer Salary Survey 2020 - RF CafeThe Engineer website just published a very extensive UK Engineer Salary Survey 2020/21. Cutting to the chase, the average salary of 845 respondents was £56,807. Oil & gas engineers toped the list at £75,366, while telecomms / utilities / electronics (TUE) got 3rd place at £58,412. British citizens who worked outside the country trumped every other category with a peak of £147,168. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland electronics engineers averaged £105,539 while South West (England) earned only £43,250. TUE's over 50 years of age constitute 61% of their category, and under 35 years old is just 12%. That looks like an excuse to massively import foreigners to fill the looming gap. Roughly half of TUE's like their jobs and a third like their salary. Half want a new job and half feel valued in their job. Read the report...

Post-War Servicing Opportunities

Post-War Servicing Opportunities, January 1945, Radio-Craft - RF Cafe"Mediocre and half-baked technicians will be just out of luck." So said Radio-Craft editor Hugo Gernsback, writing in the January 1945 issue about the opportunities likely to be awaiting radioservicemen. Surprisingly, at least to me - but I suspect also to most of his readers at the time - Mr. Gernsback predicted that the majority of post-war electronics technician jobs will be for other than the kind of radio service work that existed before World War II. Major advances in factory automation with both electrical and mechanical innovations, when combined with recent advertising by consumer product manufacturers promising all sorts of amazing home appliances and entertainment gizmos, will assure a much wider and deeper (technically) variety of service work. Commercial, industrial, and domestic was predicted to require more troubleshooting, repair and maintenance savvy than merely swapping out vacuum tubes or tweaking potentiometers until "it seems right." Hence, the opening comment...

After Class: Working with Selenium Rectifiers

After Class: Working with Selenium Rectifiers, September 1957 Popular Electronics - RF CafePer Wikipedia, "A selenium rectifier is a type of metal rectifier, invented in 1933. They were used to replace vacuum tube rectifiers in power supplies for electronic equipment, and in high current battery charger applications. The photoelectric and rectifying properties of selenium were observed by C. E. Fitts around 1886 but practical rectifier devices were not manufactured routinely until the 1930s. Compared with the earlier copper oxide rectifier, the selenium cell could withstand higher voltage but at a lower current capacity per unit area." Electronics magazines of the era published many articles about selenium rectifiers...

What's New in Transistors

What's New in Transistors, June 1954 Radio-Electronics - RF CafeAs with most new discoveries, advancements came quickly with transistors. A little more than six years after Messrs. Brattain, Shockley, and Bardeen announced their invention of a positive gain, point contact transistor, this article in Radio-Electronics magazine reports on the wonders of junction diodes and transistors that eliminate the mechanical interface of the "cat's whisker" that was vulnerable to failure due to shock, vibration, and temperature changes. Note how closely spaced the patent numbers mentioned are for Sidney Darlington's compound transistor (aka a Darlington pair), Shockley's bistable transistor oscillator, Gordon Raisbeck's NPN-PNP balanced pair amplifier, and Robert Blakely's 3-terminal transistor mixer. Bell Labs, IBM, and the other big name research companies and universities...

Rejuvenating Old Meters

Rejuvenating Old Meters, February 1943 QST - RF CafeAn article with instructions relating to subjects like overthrow, balance, friction, and cleaning could very well be about a country's revolutionary struggles. In this case, it is an article about how to rejuvenate a persnickety or inaccurate mechanical (aka analog) meter movement. W.R. Triplett, relative (I assume) of meter manufacturer Ray L. Triplett, is the author (Triplett is now owned by Jewel Instruments). There are a lot of analog meters around in labs, workshops, and garages. Unless they have been burnt out, most probably still work like new. Occasionally, however, the movements get sticky because of accumulations of dirt and dust, bug filth, or even from corrosion. This article offers some great tips for making them serviceable again...

How To Build a Radio That Ignores Its Own Transmissions

How To Build a Radio That Ignores Its Own Transmissions - RF CafeJoel Brand has an interesting article on the IEEE Spectrum website entitled, "How To Build a Radio That Ignores Its Own Transmissions." In it he discusses self-interference inherent in most star networks. Mr. Brand begins: "Wireless isn't actually ubiquitous. We've all seen the effects: Calls are dropped and Web pages sometimes take forever to load. One of the most fundamental reasons why such holes in our coverage occur is that wireless networks today are overwhelmingly configured as star networks. This means there's a centrally located piece of infrastructure, such as a cell tower or a router, that communicates with all of the mobile devices around it in a starburst pattern. Ubiquitous wireless coverage will happen only when a different type of network, the mesh network, enhances these star networks. Unlike a star network, a mesh network consists of nodes that communicate with one another as well as end-user devices. With such a system, coverage holes in a wireless network can be filled by simply adding a node..."

The Radio Month

June 1954 Radio-Electronics Cover - RF CafeOne of the great benefits of buying and reading these vintage electronics (and other types) magazines is running across information you have read or heard about from a historical perspective, but was late-breaking contemporary news at the time of publication. Although I cannot cite a specific instance off the top of my head, there have been times when the original sources told a very different story than the one often heard in second-, third-, or fourth-hand versions far removed from the actual event. It is like a Xerox copy of a document that has been through many iterations of copies of copies of copies. This 1954 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine reports on a petition submitted to the FCC by none other than Senator Joseph McCarthy, seeking to require all radio stations, including those of amateur operators...

Vintage NIB Rhode & Schwarz Test Equipment Found in Attic

Cool Product: Vintage NIB Rhode & Schwarz Test Equipment Found in Attic - RF CafeIt's not quite as monumental a find as discovering the Dead Sea Scrolls in a cave, or an original showroom-new Ford Model T sitting in a barn, but what Martin H. came upon in the attic of a old house in Gorlitz, Germany, definitely rates an "amazing!" response. Sitting on the Polish border, previously owned by an East German policeman, the domicile contained one each of the following pieces of vintage Rhode & Schwarz test equipment in brand new condition: • R&S Resonance Frequency Meter, Type WAM, BN 4312/2 (ca 1968) • R&S Phase Meter, Type PZN, BN 1941 (ca 1965) • R&S Power Signal Generator, Type SMLM, BM 4105 (ca 1974).

Cardwell Condensers Advertisement

Cardwell Condensers Advertisement, April 1942 QST - RF Cafe"There's a WAR to be won." So goes the headline in an advertisement in the April 1942 edition of QST magazine. Like many American companies during World War II, Cardwell Manufacturing Corporation gave its highest priority to serving the needs of our nation's military. Patriotism was actually taught in schools back in the day, and the majority of citizens understood the need to devote their efforts to achieving victory, even if it meant putting personal interests on hold. The ad content typifies that attitude: "Though all our facilities of men and machines have long been pledged to the fulfillment of our assigned tasks, and though hundreds of thousands of Cardwell components are in active service on the far flung battlefronts of the United Nations, many times this effort is needed. And so, to our loyal personnel, we are saying, 'Let's redouble production again..."

Message in NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover

NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover Has Message in Parachute - RF CafeHow come nobody told me about this? With all the articles I've read about the Perseverance rover recently landed on Mars, none come to mind which mentioned a message on the underside of the parachute used to lower the atmospheric entry spacecraft and its load to the point where retrorockets took over just above the surface. It only took a moment to figure it all out - much simpler than Carl Sagan's team's cryptic message on the Pioneer 10 and 11 interplanetary explorers, but a bit more tricky than "We come in peace for all mankind" on Apollo 11's Eagle lunar module. Très cool, IMHO.
