Getting one wire to do more, Part 4 – headphone wire as antenna

January 24, 2022 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

Using one wire in two very different roles is widely done, requiring some simple circuity and basic components. Using a headphone wire as an FM antenna The earliest portable AM/FM portable radios used two antennas: an internal long wire wound on a ferrite core for the lower-frequency AM band (550-1600 kHz), and a “whip” antenna […]

Getting one wire to do more, Part 3 – Powering the antenna LNA

January 21, 2022 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

Using one wire in two very different roles is widely done, requiring some simple circuity and basic components. Providing DC power to an antenna amplifier via an RF coaxial cable In most applications where the antenna is located at a distance from the radio receiver front end, it is desirable or necessary to add a […]

Getting one wire to do more, Part 2 – Phantom power for the microphone

January 20, 2022 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

Using one wire in two very different roles is widely done, requiring some simple circuity and basic components. Powering microphones over the audio cable A classic engineering objective is to figure out a way to get one set of wires to provide a second function at little cost. This second part in the series looks […]

Simple double-duty: How to get one wire to do more, Part 1: The rationale

January 19, 2022 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

Using one wire in two very different roles is widely done, requiring some simple circuity and basic components. It makes a lot of sense to use an individual single copper cable and its connection between two points to do more than it initially intended, especially if that additional function is aligned with the primary function […]

Single-Pair Ethernet addresses industrial priorities, Part 2: Hardware realization

November 3, 2020 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

single-pair Ethernet

For applications driven by sensors more than high-speed data, the IEEE 802.3cg standard offers single-pair Ethernet connectivity with far lower cable costs and bulk. Part 1 looked at the context and standard which defines Single-Pair Ethernet and some of its variations, and how it fits into the IIoT application area. This part will look at […]

Single-Pair Ethernet addresses industrial priorities, Part 1: The IEEE 802.3cg Standard

November 2, 2020 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

single-pair ethernet

For applications driven by sensors more than high-speed data, the IEEE 802.3cg standard offers single-pair Ethernet connectivity with far lower cable costs and bulk. Ethernet has come a very long way in adoption and speed from its humble inception driven in the early years by a team led by Robert Metcalfe at the Xerox Palo […]
