This method of adding and subtracting colours to show what happens with the frequencies is a brilliant demonstration. This is the clearest explanation I have ever seen. I know you made this 6 years ago, but thank you so much for posting it.

Can someone please explain the why? Why are we using an oscillator in the first place? I could understand the how much easier if I know the why.

This is a brilliant angle on explaining heterodyning. Your eBook is also *exceptional* on clarifying the kinds of details that trip people up when trying to follow How It Works. Best way to grade an engineer's knowledge is on how effectively he or she can explain something truly complex to someone else. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

The 455kHz filters are bandpass filters right? What would be the passband of these filters? If they were very narrow you wouldn’t be able to use the output for audio right? Their passband has to be wide enough to cover the range of frequencies across which the original RF frequency signal into the antenna is Amplitude Modulated right? How wide would this passband be?

Hi there! I understand fairly well about how the local oscillator mix frequency with the selected antenna emf carrier where the output will be 455Khz and you get the sum and differences which are the 4 output signals on the plate of 1st tube. But I can't get my mind to understand how even at the antenna as carrier waves from a whole HOST of signals hitting the antenna, WHY don't you get "destructive interference" (Lost Information) due to incidental frequencies cancelling out each other. Like, if you have two or three "water" waves coming to shore, sometimes they add up to produce a larger wave...and sometimes the peaks and valleys cancel each other and you don't get a peak or valley. With a multitude of radio frequencies hitting the antenna, why isn't that information LOST on the input grid of the 1st tube? Do radio waves not behave like water waves in that respect? Perhaps it's just that simple, but I need to hear from someone that knows...lol! Perhaps not matter how many radio signals there are in the area, "radio" waves always combine, but never destroy? Thx AllAmericanFive or anyone who can help me correct my thinking!
@AllAmericanFiveRadio
@AllAmericanFiveRadio Жыл бұрын
Interesting question and observation. If you through two rocks simultaneously into a pond, the waves from each will interact with each other and depending on the distance from each other they will add and subtract at various points. The waves produce this way are of the same frequency. This means that they can influence each other as much as possible. This is why there cannot be two radio stations on the same frequency in the same coverage area. The distance between radio stations and the difference in frequency of each radio station are carefully chosen to minimize interference between stations. I helped take care of a 50,000 watt AM station that was daytime only, from sunrise to sunset only. This station had to go off the air at sundown because at night the sky wave travels much farther. This station, in North Carolina, was on the same frequency as a 24 hour station in Boston. At night if the North Carolina station did not go off the air it interfered with the station in Boston. So the time of day is also very important along with distance and frequency.

Hi Richard, you have some of the best comprehensive video's and explanations out on YT. I have been struggling grabbing exactly what the hetrodyne was doing within the mixer/oscillator sections and your videos really helped. Thanks! Just a few questions. If you were to put a scope on the plate of the first tube, what would it look like? Also how/why is the modulation maintained in the bottom 455K signal?
@AllAmericanFiveRadio
@AllAmericanFiveRadio 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks pappafrito A scope on the first plat would already be almost only 455KHz because the the primary and secondary are very sharply (high Q) tuned. I'm not sure what you mean by “ bottom 455K modulated signal” and that's OK, I want to answer your questions. You do have the right idea about the purpose of the highly tuned I.F.'s, “ignoring anything else”. The tuned I.F.'s only passes the 455KHz modulated signal. Ask your questions.

@@AllAmericanFiveRadio Thanks so much for responding and the links. Sorry my question is probably confusing as I tried to edit it after the fact. Basically I'm experimenting with building a low voltage tube am superhet radio (using a 12fx8 and 12al8). I’m fairly clear on the demodulation side. The mixer however I'm not quite clear on as to what is actually happening in the mixer (visually). I understand that you will end up with Rf, Rf+LOf, Rf-LOf, and LOf in the mixer (and also other frequencies??). I am not clear at all how/why that all happens in the mixer visually. So if I’m at least understanding the basic principle correctly, If I wanted the tune my radio to 640am, I would tune a gang capacitor so that both my tuner tank circuit resonates at 640Khz AND so that my local oscillator oscillates at RF+455Khz (1.095 Mhz)? Then put that signal through a highly tuned 455K filter to get the IF to the next stage amplification. Then why/how does the 455K signal maintained the modulation through and out of the mixer? Or are all of the 4 separate frequencies equally modulated? I know Rf is obviously modulated. I can see how Rf+LOf could be modulated with the audio. This is where I’m getting lost… lol! Thank a million, love your vids!

Ok... * 1 meter ... At least - We see exactly what constitutes a length of * 1 meter... ... Yep.. But ... How those early electroEngeners and scientists created * 1 Volt or * 1 Ohm... * Ampere ... And in particular 1 picoFarad .... I mean ... It is mindBoggling to imagin 1 billionth of something ... ... Isn't it ??? How they established those First units and how they could measure them ? ... I mean ... How Tesla could measure 10 megaHerz frequency or similar stuff. ... ??? I mean...they had wooden plinth equipment and they didn't know that ELECTRON even exists, .... So ... how they can Establish: 1 Farad ... and then measure 1 picoFarad ... or let's say : Capacitor of : 10 nano Farads. ... 🤐🤔🤪😬😱🤐 ...
