One adapter uses a frequency doubler as a carrier regenerator and employs the sum-and-difference method of restoring the two stereo channels. The other adapter uses a locked oscillator as a carrier regenerator, a time-share detector, and a stereo program indicator. Automatic switching is accomplished between stereo and monaural reception.

Generally they have been of the relatively expensive, high-fidelity, entertainment type. However, with the advent of competitive transistors having VHF capabilities, the FM receiver market has been considerably expanded. Our country alone saw the birth of 173 new FM transmitting stations in the last sixteen months. The total number of FM stations broadcasting as of the end of April of this year was 988. It is expected that this growth of FM will be accelerated due to the over-crowding of the AM spectrum and FCC approval of multiplex stereo.","PeriodicalId":136909,"journal":{"name":"Ire Transactions on Broadcast and Television Receivers","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124931700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past, the use of a built-in air loop antenna was common in the design of home receivers and some portables.

Today, with the widespread use of transistors and the remarkable trend of appreciation of compact devices on the part of the customer, the use of such antenna has been replaced by the use of the ferrite loop antenna. The ferrite rod concentrates in a small area the magnetic flux from a large area, thus reducing the dimensions of the antenna.","PeriodicalId":136909,"journal":{"name":"Ire Transactions on Broadcast and Television Receivers","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132557840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
