Synopsis

Unlock the essentials of radio reception and start tuning with confidence.
This guide introduces the practical basics of how signals travel from transmitter to receiver. It covers antenna types, grounding, and the ways height, structure, and surroundings affect the energy your radio can pick up. You’ll learn how different configurations influence reception, directivity, and ease of use in real-world settings.

From choosing a suitable antenna to understanding grounding and counterpoise, this book translates technical concepts into actionable advice. It also explores common receiver strengths and limitations, including when a loop or a cage antenna might help, and how to position and connect wires for best results. Practical examples show how to improve performance on broadcast and short-wave bands, and how to troubleshoot typical issues in the field.

• How different antenna types work and which one fits your space and goals


• Grounding, counterpoise, and the impact of surrounding objects on signal quality


• Directivity, selectivity, and the realities of using loop and cage antennas


• Tips for improving reception across broadcast and short-wave bands, plus basic troubleshooting

Ideal for hobbyists and experimenters who want clear, step-by-step guidance on setting up and optimizing radio reception with common home equipment.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The first edition of Modern Radio Reception was published in 1923 and a second edition published in 1924. This present exposition of the field of Broadcast Radio Reception issued in 1928 is an entirely revised and rewritten volume. During the past three years, broadcasting conditions are entirely different, most of the transmitters and receivers used a few years ago are now obsolete. Rather than devote space to apparatus of historical interest, this book deals principally with all the latest developments which is what the majority of the experimenters or broadcast listeners demand. To make the book most useful to the large majority of the readers it has been made as non-technical as possible, the mathematical equations confined to simple examples, and the descriptions of the apparatus given in an easily understandable manner. Several thousand owners of radio receivers designed by the writer have offered suggestions which are covered in this book and the author wishes to express indebtedness for their assistance and also from the following firms; (among others) General Radio Co. Institute of Radio Engineers General Electric Company E. T. Cunningham I nc. A. H. Grebe Co. NEMAS tandards Weston Elec. I nst. Co. Western Electric Co. Ward Leonard Electric Co. Readers who are seriously interested in the future of the radio field should join the Institute of Radio Engineers. This is a non-profit organization which includes in its membership all the leaders of the radio industry. Papers are issued monthly covering all the latest developments in radio in the form of Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers. In addition to the main meetings in New York there the Sections in Toronto, Chicago, Middletown, Conn., Los A ngeles, Philadelphia, Rochester, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington where monthly meetings are held.
