Talk:Transmitter

message: The anonymous user who has added large sections of poorly translated German-to-English to the present article would appear to be the equally anonymous originator – the IP addresses, all from the same block, point to his being in Stuttgart or nearby – of all those "Transmitter Someplace" articles. 
The very form of the titles – imitating the word order of the German "Sender Irgendwo" instead of "Someplace Transmitter", the normal English-language formulation – is an indication that, whether actually by a machine or not, the material has been mechanically translated. See the example of Transmitter Heusweiler (a t-antenna, which was up-hung on two 35 and 31 meters tall wooden towers, a wire net was strained over the federal motorway, etc. etc.).
The anonymous user's contributions contain valuable material but it is marred, sometimes to the point of incomprehensibility, by the poor standard of English used. While piecemeal linguistic repairs have been made to many of these articles by various editors over time, I wonder if it might not be possible to set up some sort of project to give them a thorough "wash and brush up" from the language point of view. -- Picapica 08:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyedits/rewrites needed for most "Transmitter Someplace" articles

message: I studied electronics years ago and had a Second Class Commercial Radiotelephone License issued by the Federal Communications Commission, which expired about 20 years ago. Radio receivers routinely use intermediate frequency stages, but I have never heard of them in a transmitter. This may be talking about the frequency multiplier stages that give frequency-modulated or phase-modulated transmitters their full bandwidth. Does anyone know of transmitters that use intermediate frequency stages, or should that be deleted?

thread_title:  Why would a TRANSMITTER have an intermediate frequency??? 

message: I'm of the opinion that this article is trying to talk about too many things at once, and as a result it is disconcertingly incoherent.  I counted:
# Broadcast transmitters
# Broadcast transmitter sites and transmission towers
# Broadcasting regulation
# Non-broadcast transmitters (both RF and mechanical)
# RF design techniques
I think this should be replaced by a disambiguation page; each of those subjects should be its own article (and only (1) and (4) should be under the heading "Transmitter").  121a0012 03:31, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The implication that waveguides are hollow because of the skin effect is wrong and this needs correcting. But skin effect is a good reason for using tubular conductors of appropriate dimensions relative to the frequency, conductivity, permeability and power transmission.

thread_title: Misunderstanding with Skin Effect and Waveguides

message: I am sure there are transmitters in other branches of science like possibly medicine (?neural transmitters) so perhaps the title should be more specific.ChrisAngove 10:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd also vote for moving most of the current article to "Broadcast transmitter," and leaving a small generic overview here listing other types of transmitters. It wouldn't be a disambiguation page in the normal sense, since the other articles don't exist; but that list could eventually point to separate articles if anyone cared to write them. - Engineer Bob 07:00, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree with the initial heading of this section, that this article should be renamed Radio transmitter.  The other vestigial uses for the term "transmitter" don't belong here.  Broadcast transmitter could be split off into another article. --ChetvornoTALK 06:23, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Right now the article is a combo of "Transmitter" and "Broadcast Transmitter" (a commercial application of a "Radio Transmitter") so it would be wise to split off one or the other. - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:38, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

text: To clarify, you're just going to move the content specific to radio and television broadcasting, right?  Not the non-broadcasting uses of radio transmitters I listed above? --ChetvornoTALK 14:21, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct. And if I've moved anything other than that, feel free to tweak. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:36, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Great.  I support the move. --ChetvornoTALK 14:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Disambiguation required: Rename to Something Like 'Radio Frequency Transmitter'

message: Someone added a link to an RFID website. Is this really appropriate to the subject at hand?  What do you all think? Erzahler 22:07, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: RFID?

message: I've often seen it stated, or have seen it portrayed in popular media that "any" radio receiver can be turned into a transmitter, and vice versa.  I'm not an expert, but I believe the underlying idea here is resonance, and that it's usually impractical, owing to the differences in power levels.  But as a concept, I thought it would be discussed or referenced in this article.
While it may not be appropriate for this article, what I was really trying to find out (for future reference) was, is there a fundamental asymmetry between these kinds of devices when you move beyond amplitude and frequency modulation, such as polarization effects and/or twisting?

thread_title: Transmitter/Receiver Duality

message: I have removed a link to the external site http://www.transmitter.be/new.html because it appears to me that when following links to get detailed information, one is invited to "Mark the entries of your interest in the info column, complete the details below and push the "continue" button to request a quotation." This appears to be a site that sells radio equipment. The single-purpose account User:Broadcasttransmitter behaves like one would expect an owner or paid publicity agent to behave. --Jc3s5h (talk) 14:31, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I've read some of the Transmitters page and had a couple of thoughts!!!
 1) Could lightening act like a Hertzian Oscillator?
 2) Would the clouds transmit, or conspire with, ET messages?
Of course, there could be other commercial benefits with over a 100 strikes a second to use, for FREE!
