You wouldn't know it from the title, "The
Bell Bull Session," but this Carl and Jerry technodrama features a very interesting
subject - the
Shive Wave Machine. The "Bull Session" part of the title is self-explanatory;
it's the "Bell" part that is a reference to Bell Telephone Laboratories, and specifically
to a gentleman named Dr. John N. Shive, who was Director of Education and Training
there. Being avid amateur radio operators and electronics experimenters, Carl and
Jerry were very familiar with the concept of traveling waves and impedance matching.
The Shive Wave Machine is an ingenious device that provides a visual physical representation
of a traveling wave and how an impedance mismatch generates...

"A team of researchers from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) has devised a way to pick up and manipulate extremely
small electronic components found in cutting-edge technology. Using a tiny 'electroadhesive' stamp, researchers can now pick up and put down
objects that are as minute as 20 nanometers wide. That's roughly 1,000 times finer
than a strand of human hair; this technology could prove extremely useful as the
components in our devices get smaller and smaller in size. The high-tech stamp is
made from an assortment of ceramic-coated carbon nanotubes. The tubes are placed
so they stick up, like the bristles found in a toothbrush. A small voltage is sent
through the stamp ..."

The opening line of this
Transistor Terminology Puzzle states it is the tenth anniversary
of the invention of the transistor, but that is because the crossword appeared in
a 1958 issue of Radio & TV News magazine. It was just before Christmas
of 1947 that Drs. John Bardeen, Walter H. Brattain and William Shockley announced
their discovery from Bell Laboratories. Note that 1947 is eleven years earlier,
not ten. However, the theme of this crossword seems to reference the bipolar junction
transistor (BJT), which was developed in 1948 - hence the 10th anniversary claim.
The first transistor was a point contact type. Print out the page and have a go
at it...
I haven't owned a digital watch in decades.
My
Timex Expedition WR100M analog watch has taken a lick'n and keeps
on tick'n for about a decade (paid ~$25), but upon seeing this article about the
Retro Timex T80 on Interesting Engineering website, I thought
maybe a digital watch might be a nice change. Not really remembering the original
T80, I did a Google and eBay search for it and could not locate a good image of
the 1980s version. Some claim to be originals, but the "www.timex.com" stamped into
the back cover is a dead giveaway. $75 is a bit out of my price range for a watch,
so I'll keep a lookout on eBay. You, however, might prefer a new retro version.
If nothing else the battery probably lasts longer than on the original. They don't
seem to be available quite yet.
Black Friday is known to most modern-day people
as the frenzied first day of Christmas shopping season on the day after Thanksgiving
. It is named so because supposedly on that day many retailers finally turn the
ink in their accounting books from red to black. However, there was an infamous
Black Friday that occurred in the Fall of 1869, when the U.S. stock market experienced
a severe crash. Many know of the 1929 crash that precipitated The Great Depression,
but the other Black Friday, per this historical article from a 1948 edition of
QST magazine, caused its own "great depression" in wireless communications
pioneer Dr. Mahlon Loomis. His reaction is understandable after reading this
piece...

"The U.S. Army is pushing ahead with plans
to field a cannon with an astounding
1,000-mile+ range. The cannon, along with hypersonic weapons,
will allow the service to attack long range, strategic-level targets far beyond
the reach of existing Army systems. According to Defense News, the Army's program
manager for long range fires, Col. John Rafferty, the service expects the gun to
have a range of 1,000 nautical miles - or 1,150 statute miles. The technology behind
the cannon is described as 'cutting edge' that's so advanced that the service is
not sure if the gun would be affordable. The Army is set to conduct an early test
of a key tech component at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren in Virginia 'very soon ..."

Author William Blair lamented in a 1958 issue
of Radio & TV News magazine that helix (aka helical) antennas had not
yet been widely adopted by amateur radio operators despite the advantages they can
provide. Helix antennas are used for transmitting and receiving circularly polarized
electromagnetic waves. An advantage of using a
circularly polarized antenna for receiving is that it is able
to make use of wavefronts arriving at any polarization angle along the propagation
axis, thereby accommodating transmissions at any polarization angle. Theoretically,
an ideal antenna with a particular polarization would not receive a signal arriving
at an angle perpendicular to it, and the strength of any signal would be proportional
to the cosine of the angle of impingement...
Copper Mountain Technologies has produced
a series of on-demand seminars covering topics useful to users of their vector
network analyzer (VNA) product line. This one entitled, "Calibrating VNAs," is an important step in making
accurate measurements with vector network analyzers. "We find many people have good
questions on the proper calibration of USB VNAs. We felt this topic was so important
that CMT Senior RF Design Engineer Brian Walker conducted a webinar about the different
types of calibration for network analyzers. The types of calibration that were covered
were: SOLT/SOLR Calibration TRL Calibration Waveguide Calibration He also reviewed
in the webinar how the standards for calibration ...

As a follow-on to the "Planning Integrated
Signal Communications" story, this article is the next step in the U.S. Army Signal
Corps' implementation of
ubiquitous communications systems. Along with powerful transmitters
and super-sensitive receivers at command communications hubs are the many hand-held,
back-pack, and vehicular radios needed to complete strategic and tactical operations
across the face of the Earth. It wasn't just wireless systems that Signal Corps
engineers and technicians were responsible for, but also all the wired equipment
and interconnecting cabling. The possibility of software configuration for network
switches, radios, modems, telephones, antennas, and ancillary components had never
been thought of in 1950 (by very few, anyway). Everything was set up with patch
panels...
Teledyne Paradise Datacom (Paradise), part
of the Teledyne Defense Electronics Group, is unveiling a new

X-band SSPA is configurable to meet diverse radar platform requirements, and scalable
either up or down to effectively address other power levels as desired. It provides
operators of legacy TWT, magnetron, or klystron...
When I first saw this image I thought is
was a CAD drawing of a vacuum tube amplifier, but, alas, it was merely plans for
a 250 MWh energy storage facility in the EU. "Cryogenic energy storage
pioneer Highview Power, a past winner in The Engineer Innovation Award, has announced
plans to build its first full-scale plant - which will also be the largest energy
storage plant in Europe - at a decommissioned thermal power station site in the
North of England. Known as a Cryobattery, the site will have a capacity of 50 MW
/ 250 MWh, Highview says. Announced at the BloombergNEF summit in London yesterday

Today if you need a
printed circuit board (PCB) for prototyping, there is a good chance
you will look up a quick-turn company like those found on the PCB Directory website
like Bittelle, San Francisco Circuits, or a host of other providers. Costs can be
a little as $40 to $50 for three, 3" x 3", 2-layer PCBs and can be delivered in
a week or less. A 4-layer PCB of the same size would cost somewhere around $100.
Considering how much circuitry can be squeezed into a 9 inch2 board these days,
board with surface mounted components on both sides, that's a lot of board for a
little money. If you are really in a hurry for your boards, the fabrication companies
offer various levels of expedited service for more $$$. There are some people who
for one reason or another still prefer to make their own PCBs. For them, this article
from 1972 Popular Electronics magazine might be a good resource for how
to go about it. All the necessary materials like ferric chloride and copper clad
substrate material...
RF Cascade Workbook 2018 is the next phase in the evolution
of RF Cafe's long-running series, RF Cascade Workbook. It is a full-featured
RF system cascade parameter and frequency planner that includes filters and mixers

is a cinch and the format is entirely customizable. It is significantly easier and
faster than using a multi-thousand dollar simulator when a high level system analysis
is all that is needed. An intro video takes you through the main features...
Diode characteristics and their applications
have not changed fundamentally since this article was published in 1952. Sure, the
die are smaller, power handling and frequency range has increased, package styles
are greatly expanded, and the cost per unit is way down, but if you are looking
for some basic diode information, you will find it here in this 4th installment
of a multi-part series in Radio & Television News magazine. Don't let
the vacuum tubes in schematics scare you off and think that it makes the story irrelevant
for today's circuits. For purposes of illustration substitute a transistor's collector
(or drain) for the tube's plate, a transistor's base (or gate) for the tube's screen
grid, and a transistor's emitter (or source) for the tube's cathode...

People are entering the field of electronics
all the time and many want to learn not only
circuit theory and troubleshooting, but design as well. With all
the pre-packaged integrated circuits available that perform just about every function
imaginable, there are still times when you either want or need to set about designing
your own circuit. Interfaces between two circuits, or to displays and sensors are
examples of the kinds of applications that might need a custom design. That applies
not only for RF type circuits that require impedance matching, but also to low frequency
analog and digital circuits. This article by Mr. Jim Huffman, which appeared
in a 1972 issue of Popular Electronics, provides an introduction on how
to methodically determine all necessary requirements and then actually design your
circuit - in this case an audio amplifier. A technician I worked with in the early-to-mid
1980s who was an inspector at Westinghouse Oceanic Division...

Bittele, a turn-key PCB assembly services
provider for prototype and low volume electronic contract manufacturing, has posted
a tutorial entitled, "How to Design Cost-Effective PCBs." It begins, "A design engineer
should consider all the things that affect the total cost of manufacturing of PCB.
Frequently, new PCB design engineers often do not consider the cost of PCB fabrication.
The things that affect the cost per PCB that many young design engineers don't plan
for include the cost of tooling, the size of a PCB and the spacing of board components.
To ensure that your production costs are as low as possible, including the costs
of tooling, here are some guidelines to follow: 1. Select the smallest size of the
PCB that is practical. 2. Standard rectangular and square PCB shapes always cost
less than non-standard shapes. Furthermore, do not incorporate slots or cutouts
unless they are completely necessary ..."

Each week, for the sake of all avid cruciverbalists
amongst us, I create a new
technology-themed crossword puzzle using only words from my custom-created
lexicon related to engineering, science, mathematics, chemistry, physics, astronomy,
etc. This one is for November 3, 2019. You will never find among the words names
of politicians, mountain ranges, exotic foods or plants, movie stars, or anything
of the sort. You might, however, see someone or something in the exclusion list
who or that is directly related to this puzzle's theme, such as Hedy Lamarr or the
Bikini Atoll, respectively. Enjoy...

Admittedly, I did not do any follow-up research
on this, but there is reason to believe that prior to this Radio News magazine
article, there was not a general agreement on what formula to use for thermal noise
in an electrical system. Here is a statement made by author S.J. Mallory, "At
first, however, there was no general agreement concerning the magnitude of this
basic Johnson noise power level. Some engineers used the quantity KTB, others used
2KTB and still others used 4KTB." We of course all use KTB nowadays for thermal
noise power - aka
Johnson noise. It's a good read on the subject of sources that
determine the noise floor of a system. There's also this kind of Johnson noise...
Global MilSatCom 2019 Conference and Exhibition

for numerous national sovereign SATCOM programmes; in particular, the development
of the host nations SKYNET constellation - but also across key allied programmes
such as WGS, SATCOMbw, MUOS, SICRAL and SYRACUSE. How this sovereign bandwidth can
be pooled and augmented with COMSATCOM also remains essential as NATO is set to
sign a memorandum of understanding ...
The November 2019 issue of
QST (login required) is chock full of great articles. The
one entitled, "Indoor Antennas for VHF Weak-Signal Work," written by Mr. Les
Rayburn (N1LF) discusses ways to stealthily mount an antenna in your attic in order
to work around HOA restrictions and/or to protect your installation from weather
abuse. Considering the close proximity to living quarters, he offers caveats and
mitigation suggestions regarding RF exposure during transmission and subjection
to high noise levels from his own home and from nearby neighbors. The notable line
pulled from the article is, "Neighbors equal noise." The situation gets worse every
day. Here's my own
attic-based TV/Radio antenna installation.
Basic
transformer circuits have not changed in the more than sixty years
since this article was published in Popular Electronics magazine. The applications
have definitely changed, though, since active circuits of the day required a relatively
low voltage (step-down) for vacuum tube cathode heaters, and at least one relatively
high voltage (step-up) for biasing the tube plate. Most transformers for today's
consumer applications perform a single step-down operation for 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V,
etc. In many applications, transformers are done away with altogether in favor of
solid state rectifiers and regulators. A 5-question quiz is provided at the end.
There is also a short tutorial on electrostatic speakers and some analog and digital
signal info. Digital circuits were still a relatively new (and scary) concept
to most people at the time...
