You will be surprised al the quality OF
the music our broadcasting stations are
sending out when you hear il via the
crystal instead OF az the noisy end OF
a two-step ampllfer.
Many Of the so-called disadvantages
Of the crystal detector can be partially
overcome.
Crystal receivers usually tune broad
"; that is. a small change i'm tuning
does not cause a very great change In
signal strength. and a station can be
heard over quite a range OF tuning.
This means that II two stations are
sending and their wave lengths are not
very far apart II viii be impossible 10
tune one I'm and exclude the other
whereas II the receiver tunes sharply.
a station viii be heard over very
narrow band Of wave lengths. In other
words. a very few degrees either way
from the point where the best audi
bility is obtained viii tune the station
out. Then some selectivity can be had
between two stations even IL separated
only by a few meters with a sharply
tuned receiving set.
The crystal in the usual hOokupS
Introduces a resistance into the Oscil-
lating circuit. causing that circuit TO be
somewhat aperiodlc. That Is, 1t will
respond to more than one wave length.
II Is rather hard 10 tune sharply
with n crystal and a single tuning coil.
In this case the crystal must be
Shunted across ut least a part Of the
inductance and there is no way of
keeping II entirely out OF any Of the
circuits which may be used. In order
to keep IL as sharply tuned as possible,
IL Is best 10 reduce the number Of
turns shunted by the detector circuit
as low as possible without sacrificing
too much signal strength. If the cir
