News of Video and Radio
Switch to Ultra.High Frequency
Easily Made on Video Sets
By Horry Macarthur

The present squabble among the
television set makers has aroused
some alarm that can be dispelled
by calm examination of a few
simple facts. The first of these
is that the basic principle by
which your receiver plucks elec-
tronic impulses off radio wave
and turns them into a picture
will not be altered by any future
switch to ultra-high frequencieS.
Your television receiver will not
be made obsolete by the move, If it
is made. 1t will not receive sig
nails on the proposed frequencies,
as it now stands in your living
room. It will do so. however. with
the aid Of a converter (Which can
be made to sell from $40 to 500
and a UHF antenna added to
your present aerial.
Simply, in the basic method by
which it operates, a television re-
ceiver is no different from the
cheapest portable radio, for all
the comparative complexity you
note inside and out. Each has a
radio frequency circuit, a detector
and an audio Cor. in the case of
television, video) circuit. The ra-
dio frequency circuit is the one
you tune. adjusting it to accept
radio waves from one broadcast
ing station and reject all others.
The detector takes of of these.
waves the modulation which rep
resents sound or picture. The
audio (or video) circuit amplifies
this signal until it is strong enough
to make the sound you hear or the
picture you see.
The principle of tuning the radio
frequency circuit is the same,
whether you switch from WTOP
to WRC on an ordinary radio or
switch from channel Z to one of
the proposed ultra high frequen-
cies on your television set. The
catch is that your present video
receiver could not receive the
higher frequencies without ad-
dition of new coils and condensers
and rewriting.
This would be a costly PROPOSE
ton and that is why you have
heard this talk of converters. This
proposed converter is nothing more
mysterious than the transformer
