Although the ubiquitous LM386 IC was designed to be used as an audio amplifier, it has a number of undocumented characteristics that can be exploited to create simple radio receiver circuits that ...
The following is excerpted from Chapter 8 from “RF Circuit Design, 2e” by Christopher Bowick. The fundamental operation of an RF front end is fairly straightforward: it detects and processes radio ...
A single-photon detector (SPD) is sensitive to incidence of individual quanta of light and has many applications in photonics, such as fluorescence measurements, laser ranging, optical time-domain ...
