    How Do Radio Receivers and Transmitters Work?

    But do you need an antenna? I mean i read stuff where for transmitters you don't need a antenna because the circuit acts as one..but what about a receiver? Technically you wouldn't need one either right? And also higher frequency means its better to have a smaller antenna? *edit* I made a week...

    How Do Radio Receivers and Transmitters Work?

    Hey i was wondering if someone can help me out with radios and whatnot...i know making transmitters are illegal but i was just curious as to how they work as well as receivers. The thing that confuses me is how do you get information to and from the signal? I mean if i made a tank circuit that...

    Solve Math Problem: Find Z Given X, Y, & Z Variables

    Hey, i stumbled across a math problem that's got me stump and I was wondering if anyone can help me out. What we have are there 2 dependent variables and 1 independent variable (X,Y, and Z respectively). It looks something like this X = Z²*201527 Y = Z*54794 324634960= X + Y What I am trying to...
