Crystal Clear
Crystal Clear
chronicles a critical episode in both military and electronics history --- the difficult creation of reliable quartz crystal frequency control units for radio communications during World War II. As a reliable means of controlling the frequencies of radio transmitters and receivers, the quartz crystal oscillator was quickly accepted by amateur radio hobbyists after its initial development in the late 1920s. The military declined to adopt this technology until just prior to WW II resulting in no mass production industry to produce this extremely high precision electronic component. As war engulfed the world, the U.S. Army Signal Corps found itself in the dangerous position of having gambled the integrity of its communications equipment on a component which could not possibly be produced in the quantities immediately needed.
At its broadest, this book explores the ways in which civilian and military specialists interacted under wartime pressures to produce a new and useful technology. More specifically, it looks at the challenges the United States faced in building a crystal manufacturing capability, in supplying this manufacturing industry with sufficient supplies of raw quartz, and in responding to the initial failures of this technology once it`s use in all combat theaters became widespread. Contrasts are drawn between the communications technology of Allies and the AXIS. Readers will learn how a fairly rare and specialized component of communications technology emerged from spare beginnings in pre-war amateur radio to become the very foundation of a wide range of electronic devices today.
Dc/Ac Circuits and Electronics
The first in Delmar Learning`s Herrick & Jacob Series, six tightly integrated electronics engineering technology texts, DC/AC Circuits and Electronics: Principles & Applications teaches readers how to apply basic laws and analysis techniques to traditional introductory circuits, as well as popular, real-world DC and AC circuits. Central to this book is its ability to engage readers who are new to the study of electronics in interesting and useful concepts from the start, guiding them in their efforts to learn how to develop and apply fundamental laws. Throughout the book, only those circuit theorems and analysis techniques that are practical and typically used in real-world circuit analysis are addressed. In addition, Kirchhoff`s Current Law, Kirchhoff`s Voltage Law and Ohm`s Law are introduced in separate, stand-alone chapters to ensure that the reader has a complete understanding of each law before attempting to apply all or part to traditional series and parallel circuits.
