- Bear with me on this. I am coloring outside the lines again. But I think it's fascinating to consider on Topband. A few months ago, Scientific American ran an article about extremely directional spea

- Ford, the tube that ducted the ultra-sonic speaker audio will direct all kinds of audio. I didn't read the article but I don't see why they would modulate an ultra-sonic signal. Audio frequencies sh

- I noodled about the same idea a while ago. Why not go the whole way, and modulate a laser beam with the 1.8MHz signal? How much of the laser beam would radiate my 160m signal? And over what distance?

- "The trick was to modulate the ultrasound at sonic rates. The directivity of the ultra-sound speaker was intact. And the ear would hear the sonic modulation directly." That's not the trick. W0RI is r

- The only reason the ultrasonic system works is that there is a non-linear interaction between the ear and air around it that effectively demodulates the signal. The important thing to understand is t

- Hi Ford, I'm active on 432 EME and topband (both CW only). For 432 I have a 16 long yagi array. The (audio) principle described in the SciAm article would solve all my topband problems. BUT: The AUDI

- spur When the 432 Mhz is modulated by the 1.8 Mhz thats what you will get , a 1.8mhz modulated 432 carrier,plus the two sidebands (or more, depending if the 1.8 mhz signal is also modulated) The ant

- Yes. AND -- pro audio is the world where I work. This ultrasonic concept was demonstrated at least 20 years ago, but I don't know of any use of the technique in real world systems. One of the problem

- Ford, The answer again is a definite NO, we cannot generate a new frequency unless there is a non-linear system that behaves as a mixer somewhere. When or if it does mix, it re-radiates with the con
