This two transistor AM radio circuit is also called “mini-radio”. It uses only 2 transistors and few passive components which makes is very easy to be constructed. Although the circuit is very simple, ...

Researchers previously reported a self-aligned technique for making graphene transistors with unparalleled speed, but scalability was a question. The team now uses a dielectrophoresis assembly ...

Before the invention of transistors, vacuum tubes ruled the world. The only way to get amplification or switching (or any electrical control of current) back then was to use tubes. But some tube ...

Since the days of pioneers like Marconi and Armstrong, radio has fascinated countless numbers of engineers. Wireless technology has evolved from the days of bulky, power-hungry vacuum tubes to today’s ...

Recently my colleague Paul Rako contacted me to let me know about a newly published, McGraw Hill book entitled, “Build your own transistor radios” by Ronald Quan. One of the most successful blog posts ...
