  2. Radio-controlled aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_aircraft

    A radio-controlled aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is a small flying machine that is radio controlled by an operator on the ground using a hand-held radio transmitter. The transmitter continuously communicates with a receiver within the craft that sends signals to servomechanisms (servos) which move the control surfaces based on ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_control

    Quadcopter, a popular radio-controlled toy. Radio control (often abbreviated to RC) is the use of control signals transmitted by radio to remotely operate a device. Examples of simple radio control systems are garage door openers and keyless entry systems for vehicles, in which a small handheld radio transmitter unlocks or opens doors.

    A portable battery-powered AM/FM broadcast receiver, used to listen to audio broadcast by local radio stations. A modern communications receiver, used in two-way radio communication stations to talk with remote locations by shortwave radio. Girl listening to vacuum tube console radio in the 1940s.

  6. Thyratron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyratron

    A thyratron is a type of gas-filled tube used as a high-power electrical switch and controlled rectifier. Thyratrons can handle much greater currents than similar hard-vacuum tubes. Electron multiplication occurs when the gas becomes ionized, producing a phenomenon known as a Townsend discharge. Gases used include mercury vapor, xenon, neon ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_car

    Radio-controlled car. For miniature car replicas or toys, see Model car. Radio-controlled cars, or RC cars for short, [1] are miniature model cars, vans, buses, trucks or buggies that can be controlled from a distance using a specialized transmitter or remote. The term "RC" has been used to mean both "remote controlled" and "radio-controlled".

  8. Radio receiver design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_receiver_design

    Radio receiver design. Radio receiver design includes the electronic design of different components of a radio receiver which processes the radio frequency signal from an antenna in order to produce usable information such as audio. The complexity of a modern receiver and the possible range of circuitry and methods employed are more generally ...
