  2. Modulated continuous wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulated_continuous_wave

    v. t. e. Modulated continuous wave (MCW) is Morse code telegraphy transmitted using an audio tone to modulate a carrier wave . Continuous wave (CW), by contrast, does not use a subcarrier, so there is no emission at all between Morse code symbols. MCW can be generated by any AM or FM radio transmitter with audio input from an audio oscillator ...

  3. Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code

    Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes, or dits and dahs. [3] [4] Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, one of the early developers of the system adopted for electrical telegraphy . International Morse code encodes the 26 ...

  4. Beat frequency oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_frequency_oscillator

    Add-on 455 kHz homemade BFO board. In a radio receiver, a beat frequency oscillator or BFO is a dedicated oscillator used to create an audio frequency signal from Morse code radiotelegraphy ( CW) transmissions to make them audible. The signal from the BFO is mixed with the received signal to create a heterodyne or beat frequency which is heard ...

  5. Morse potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_potential

    The Morse potential, named after physicist Philip M. Morse, is a convenient interatomic interaction model for the potential energy of a diatomic molecule.It is a better approximation for the vibrational structure of the molecule than the quantum harmonic oscillator because it explicitly includes the effects of bond breaking, such as the existence of unbound states.

  6. Crystal radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio

    A large number of prefabricated novelty items and simple kits could be found through the 1950s and 1960s, and many children with an interest in electronics built one. Building crystal radios was a craze in the 1920s, and again in the 1950s. Recently, hobbyists have started designing and building examples of the early instruments. Much effort ...

  7. Continuous wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_wave

    Multiplexing. v. t. e. A continuous wave or continuous waveform ( CW) is an electromagnetic wave of constant amplitude and frequency, typically a sine wave, that for mathematical analysis is considered to be of infinite duration. [1] It may refer to e.g. a laser or particle accelerator having a continuous output, as opposed to a pulsed output.

  8. Single-sideband modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-sideband_modulation

    Passband modulation. In radio communications, single-sideband modulation ( SSB) or single-sideband suppressed-carrier modulation ( SSB-SC) is a type of modulation used to transmit information, such as an audio signal, by radio waves. A refinement of amplitude modulation, it uses transmitter power and bandwidth more efficiently.

  9. Morse code abbreviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code_abbreviations

    An amateur radio Morse code conversation example. To make Morse code communications faster and more efficient, there are many internationally agreed patterns or conventions of communication which include: extensive use of abbreviations, use of brevity codes such as 92 Code, RST code, Q code, Z code as well as the use of Morse prosigns. The ...
