 As I have noted before,
Sams PhotoFacts were the indispensible gold standard for commercial electronics
service documentation from the 1940's through maybe the 1980's. After that, there
was not nearly as much of a demand for electronics servicing because most electronic
products in the consumer market were fully transistorized and had a high level of
integrated circuit (IC) components, and multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCB's).
That made serviceability more difficult for both professionals and DIY repairmen.
Steep price decreases and very rapid evolution of features resulted in most people
opting to throw away broken radios, televisions, phonographs, etc., rather than
pay to repair them. The death knell of serviceability was when fly speck size surface
mount components dominated PCB assemblies. Sams PhotoFacts were for the era when
vacuum tubes (and even transistors and IC's) were plugged...
 "Could you explain a complex concept from
quantum physics in just three minutes - and hold the attention of your audience
while you did it? This was the premise of the inaugural 'Quantum
on the Clock' competition, which challenged A-level and equivalent students
from across the UK and Ireland to create creative, clear, engaging and accurate
short videos on any aspect of quantum science and technology. The winners of the
competition received cash prizes donated by quantum companies and institutions,
plus an expenses-paid trip to the Photon 2022 conference in Nottingham..."
 Empower RF Systems sets the bar for
extreme high-power solid state COTS amplifiers. The Model 2236 is liquid cooled
and combines the output of two six foot cabinets with each cabinet combining sixteen
2U power amplifiers. Lower and higher power versions of this amplifier are available
due to the scalable, modular design. Operating from 2800 to 3500 MHz, the flexible
pulse handling capabilities of this fielded system includes 20% duty cycles with
pulse widths from 200 ns to 500 us and PRFs up to 500 kHz. The 2236
is designed for lower total cost of ownership and higher availability than TWTs
and legacy solid state implementations. The transmitter consists of a system controller
in a 3U 19-inch rack unit and a total of thirty two 2U 19-inch rack amplifier drawers
with each amplifier drawer containing an integrated power supply in its 2U chassis...
 At my request, Dmitriy provided a few additional
screen shots of RF / microwave type functions for his
Circuit Calculator
app for Android phones. There are 170+ circuits for design, 50+ electronics
calculators, 20+ application notes, and a logic solver. The Power Stage Design Tool
is for switch mode power supplies. Filter Designer handles multi-stage analog active
filters, and there is a stand-alone Resistors app. He even has a Cost, Please! app
for tracking travel-related costs. I could be wrong, but it appears most of the
capability of the other two design apps is included in Circuit Calculator. All apps
work offline without an Internet connection. Files sizes are significantly smaller
than similar apps. Does the world need yet another circuit design app when so many
already exist, you might ask? According to Dmitriy: "There is a list of well-known
electronics design tools for Android which can be found in every review for the
last 10 years: 'Electrodoc,' 'Every Circuit,' 'Droid Tesla,' 'Electronics Toolbox,'
'RF & Microwave Toolbox,' and so on. Also, there is a lot of trash on the market

 Here are a few tidbits of breaking electronic
communications news from a 1940 issue of National Radio News magazine (a publication
of the National Radio Institute). "Mayday" had evidently recently been adopted as
the preferred distress call rather than "SOS" or even "Help!" For some unknown reason
a radio owner desperate to get his set working again dragged a potato across the
top of a vacuum tube and it suddenly started receiving the local station. An employee
of Edison Company of NYC devised a "storm detector" for warning of potential lightning
strikes in the area (possibly akin to the classic silk thread and pith ball bell
ringer devised by Benjamin Franklin?). In other news, "long life" vacuum tubes were
announced that would last up to 4½ years, and some police departments were finally
receiving portable radios. It was an exciting time!

 Maybe in 1951 when this "Corrugated-Waveguide
Band−Pass Filters" article appeared in Electronics magazine, placing a special
resonating form inside a section of waveguide was a reasonable option for creating
a bandpass filter response, but it sure seems like a hard way of accomplishing the
task. As shown in the photo and illustrations, a tapered metallic block with machined
fins spaced to resonate at a predetermined frequency created a high frequency cutoff
to work in conjunction with the natural low frequency cutoff frequency to create
a bandpass combination. A quick search did not turn up any references to such structures
being used in modern waveguide bandpass filters, although they might exist. It appears
iris coupling of resonating cavities is the method du jour. I admit to not being
a waveguide expert, so do your own research on this one. If nothing else, this is
a good historical reference...

 "Whenever some science fiction movie or
TV show is intended to appear 'ultra-scientific,' or when a sponsor wants to clinch
his sales pitch with some phony-technical display, chances are that an oscilloscope
will be shown with a modulated wave pattern jumping around on the screen." Funny
that this was going on back in 1957 when this article appeared in Popular Electronics
magazine, and that it still occurs today. How many modern sci-fi movies or techie
action movies have you seen that still show
Lissajous patterns squirming around on oscilloscope screens? The only difference
is today's hoaxes have rectangular displays whereas the old ones used round displays...
 "Frequency
combs are key to optical chips that could cut Internet power consumption. A record-breaking

up to 10.66 petabits per second over fiber optics. However, these experiments relied

 Commercially available test equipment for
hobbyists in the 21st century is pretty high quality at a relatively low price,
so the motivation for buying parts and building your own
RF power meter has to be driven not by cost, but by a desire to gain the experience.
This 1958 Popular Electronics magazine article presents a simple RF power
meter that can be built for about $25 worth of parts. All the parts should be readily
available except for the Raytheon CK-721 (or CK-722) germanium PNP transistor. The
2N3906 and the 2N2907 have been suggested as replacements, but some changes in the
biasing resistors might be required...
 It was a lot of work, but I finally finished
a version of the "RF & Electronics Schematic & Block Diagram Symbols" that

This is an equivalent of the extensive set of amplifier, mixer, filter, switch,
connector, waveguide, digital, analog, antenna, and other commonly used symbols
for system block diagrams and schematics created for Visio™. Each of the 1,000 or
so symbols was exported individually from Visio in the EMF file format, then imported
into Word on a Drawing Canvas. The EMF format allows an image to be scaled up or
down without becoming pixelated, so all the shapes can be resized in a document
and still look good. The imported symbols can also be UnGrouped into their original

 Who knew that Willie Nelson was, in addition
to being a top country music star, was also an electronics expert? This article
from the December 1965 issue of Electronics World included a feature by William
Nelson entitled "Cryogenics
in Electronics." OK, so it's probably not the same guy. Per the kTB equation
governing the power level of thermal noise in a given bandwidth, thermal noise needs
to be as low as possible to enable the smallest possible radio signal. "k" is Boltzmann's
constant (1.3806503 × 10-23 m2 kg s-2 K-1), "T" is the temperature in Kelvins, and
"B" is the bandwidth (BW) in hertz. If the required BW is fixed, and K is fixed,
then T needs to be lowered below the ambient temperature. Cryogenics are required
to do the job for meaningful results. Requirement for space exploration and space
communications motivated a large scale effort to design extremely high sensitivity
receivers...

 I was surprised to not find in this story
any mention of military training as a possible pathway to a career in electronics.
1948, when this article appeared in Radio & Television News magazine,
was a year when a plethora of highly trained and competent cadre of
electronics technicians were available for exploitation by commercial industries.
During the years of World War II, which came to a close in the Fall of 1945,
most research, development, and production of high tech equipment resulted in major
advancements in radio, television, radar, teletype, medicine, and creature comforts
was operated and maintained by service personnel. Immediately after the war and
even for many months prior to the surrenders of Germany and Japan, when the outcome
became apparent, many commercial companies began training programs for accommodating
a new era of technology for the civilian community...

 The advent of
selenium rectifiers in the 1940s was a very welcome new option to circuit designers,
consumers, and servicemen. Before that, vacuum tubes did the job (with some use
of copper oxide rectifiers). Selenium rectifiers have the advantage of ruggedness
and reliability over tubes (~85% vs. ~60%, respectively). Not requiring a heater
voltage eliminates needing to create heat in excess of that dissipated due to the
innate inefficiency. Voltage and power handling is adjusted by stacking appropriate
layers and adjusting the physical size, respectively. A failed selenium rectifier
reportedly often emitted a very foul odor, which although offensive to the user,
proved to be a nice bonus for the serviceman since it immediately gave a clue as
to what went wrong...

 This
iron core inductance design chart was included along with an article in the
November 1946 issue of Radio-Craft magazine entitled, "Coils, Cores and Magnets."
Iron-core inductors, with their high permeability and loss factor (due to eddy currents),
can only be used in power supply filtering, audio, and other relatively low frequency
(<~500 kHz) applications. Ferrite cores are compressed from slurries of
iron, nickel, cobalt, and other metallic elements, all of which experience lower
eddy current losses because they are generally not electrically conductive. With
lower permeabilities, ferrites can operate into the few hundreds of MHz realm. Physical
configuration of the core and conductors wrapped around the core can have a large
influence on the electrical parameters of power loss, impedance, frequency of operation,
linearity (due to saturation), heat dissipation...
 Electronic Design has the Compensation
portion of the
2022 Salary & Career Survey. Along with charts with numbers, it also presents
how survey respondents felt about their compensation, what kinds of bonuses were
received, and the current state of the engineering shortage. 70% report they had
greater compensation in the last year, but less that ¼ will beat out the
massive inflation rate, so effective earnings are less than the previous year. About
64% get paid between $100k and $200k per year. 10% are above $200k. I'm in the remaining
26% (advertise on RF Cafe or buy my stuff to help fix that
). Median bonuses are $2k-$3k (pretty lame, really). 2/3 of engineers believe
they are adequately compensated - a good thing. See the entire report...
 Connecting a diode backwards across a solenoid
coil to shunt potentially damaging current and/or voltages when the supply is turned
off is a common trick for saving connected circuitry. Depending on the magnitude
of the magnetic field and how quickly the field collapses, some really high voltages
can be produced. In fact, the ignition coil and point (now solid state) system in
exploits exactly that principle to turn the 12 volts from your car battery into
20-40 kV for firing the spark plugs. Engineers that designed this early
cyclotron
had limited options for what to use given the state of the art in the early 1940s,
and chose to keep the generator permanently connected to the coil (no switch) so
that if the controller failed, the coil's energy 15 kgauss magnetic field)
would flow back into the generator. That, of course, is the equivalent of refrigerator
magnet compared to magnetic fields set up by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in
the EU in search of the Higgs boson...
 The municipal water supply here in Millcreek,
PA, leaves a bad taste in my mouth - literally. It's hard to make a good cup of
coffee with bad water, so I decided to install a high quality water filter. The
water pressure for the supply line is pretty good, so I figured that pressure reduction
due to the filter's presence would not be too bad. I was wrong. In retrospect, this
was not really a surprise since I have installed the same type of filters in other
houses and had a reduction, but the street pressure is higher here so I thought
the output would be high enough. After about two years of having about half the
water flow from the cold water faucet as from the hot, I decided to do something
about it. Changing the filter helped a bit, but not much. So, I figured it was time
to test the theory of equivalency between water pressure and electromotive force
pressure (voltage) when applied through
parallel resistances. In this case the resistance is provided by the water filters
and the pressure is provided by the town's water supply. The picture below shows
how I accomplished the plumbing (equivalent of wiring in an electrical circuit).
A couple "T" fittings provided the connection nodes. The water supply can be thought
of as the positive terminal of a battery (anode) and the sink's drain can be considered
the negative terminal (cathode). Theoretically, if each filter dropped the output
pressure by a half...

 The trend toward solar power is nothing
new. Engineers and scientists have been working for decades to
develop photovoltaic (PV) cells for converting sunlight into electricity. The
challenge has been primarily a semiconductor compound and construction issue. Modern
high efficiency solar cells are not the simple silicon types of yesteryear. Modern
PV cells use a complex mixture of atoms and die layer configurations. The process
for today's most efficient examples is difficult and expensive. There is also the
problem of degrading performance over time with continued exposure to sunlight and
environmental contamination (dust, dirt, rain, pollution chemicals, etc.). Newly
installed array systems might boast 20%-25% efficiency, but five years later it
is down measurably. After a decade and longer things can get really bad. This Bell

each core. Combinations of electrical impulses on these wires alter the magnetic
states of the cores. A line of cores, some magnetized and some neutral, represents
a number or other collection of symbols in much the same way as a combination of
dots and dashes stands for a word in Morse code. Up to 32,768 of these 'words' can
