Die Hochfrequenztechnik ist eines der Gebiete, auf denen man auch heute noch eigene Ideen in die Tat umsetzen kann. Unzählige Schaltungsvarianten mit besonderen Zielsetzungen geben Raum für sinnvolle Experimente und Projekte. Vieles kann man nicht einfach kaufen. Detektorradios ohne eigene Energiequelle, einfache Röhrenempfänger mit einem Hauch von Nostalgie, die ersten Empfangsversuche mit dem Software Defined Radio oder Spezialempfänger für den Amateurfunk, all dies lässt sich mit wenig Aufwand realisieren. Lange Zeit war das Radiobasteln der Einstieg in die Elektronik. Inzwischen gibt es auch andere Wege, vor allem über Computer, Mikrocontroller und die Digitaltechnik. Allerdings kommen die analogen Wurzeln der Elektronik oft zu kurz. Die Radiotechnik eignet sich besonders gut als Lernfeld der Elektronik, weil man hier mit den einfachsten Grundlagen beginnen kann. Aber auch die Verbindung zur modernen Digitaltechnik liegt auf der Hand, wenn es z. B. um moderne Abstimmverfahren wie PLL und DDS oder um moderne DSP-Radios geht. Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick und stellt eine Sammlung einfacher Projekte vor. Der Autor möchte Sie dabei unterstützen, eigene Ideen zu entwickeln, eigene Empfänger zu entwerfen und sie zu erproben.

A Hands-on Guide to Crafting Your Own Power Plant The book you are about to read provides a step-by-step guide for building a renewable energy power plant at home. Our goal was to make the book as practical as possible. The material is intended for immediate application with a small amount of theory. Yet, the theory is important as a foundation that saves time and effort by disabusing the readers of potential misconceptions. Specifically, upon having a firm understanding of photovoltaic physics, you will not be inclined to fruitlessly search for 90% efficient solar panels! We want our readers to be the “doers”. If the book gets covered in grime and some pages become torn while you are building your power plant – this is the best compliment to us. The book covers solar and wind energy. Also, a curious power source based on manure is discussed as well, giving the doers an opportunity to further develop the manure fuel cell. It is important to note that there are many companies offering installation of complete solar solutions. Upon installing the panels, the system is not owned by the customer. Therefore, there is no freedom for experimentation and optimization. Also, none can beat the cost of a DIY solution as well as the ultimate satisfaction. All that is written here is a result of us building a renewable energy solution in Southern California. As the book was completed, the energy began flowing!
