做了一个无线电频率(RF)遥控器

刚刚做了一个无线电频率(RF)遥控器,遥控器由发射器和接收器组成。

这个是在2009或2010年做的一个无线电频率(RF)遥控器:



下面是Gemini介绍的RF:

Radio Frequency (RF) refers to electromagnetic waves that lie within a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum encompasses a wide range of frequencies, from very low frequencies (VLF) to extremely high frequencies (EHF).  

Frequency is a measure of how often a wave repeats itself in a given time. It is typically measured in Hertz (Hz), which represents one cycle per second.  

  • RF waves are characterized by their frequency.
  • Different frequencies within the RF spectrum have different properties and uses.  
  • Lower frequencies tend to have longer wavelengths and can travel farther distances.  
  • Higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths and are better suited for carrying more data.  
Common uses of RF:

  • Telecommunications: Radio, television, cell phones, Wi-Fi, and satellite communications all utilize RF waves.  
  • Radar: Radar systems use RF waves to detect and track objects.  
  • Remote control: Remote controls for devices like TVs and garage doors use RF signals.  
  • Medical imaging: MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses RF waves to generate images of the human body.  
  • Heating: Microwave ovens use RF waves to heat food.
市场上可以买到不同频率的RF的发射器和接收器模板, 通常有315 MHz和433 MHz的,

我用 433 MHz 的发射器和接收器模板。市场上的RF的发射器和接收器模板:





下面是Gemini解释RF怎样传播信号:

Radio Frequency (RF) carries a signal by generating electromagnetic waves through an antenna, which then transmit the information encoded onto a high-frequency carrier wave, allowing the signal to travel through the air to a receiver antenna that converts the waves back into an electrical signal that can be decoded and processedessentially, the antenna acts as a transducer between electrical signals and radio waves, enabling wireless transmission of data. 

 
Key points about RF signal transmission:
  • Transmitter:
    The source of the RF signal, which generates a carrier wave and modulates it with the desired information (like voice, video, or data) using techniques like amplitude modulation (AM) or frequency modulation (FM). 
     
  • Antenna:
    The antenna acts as the interface between the electrical signal and the electromagnetic waves, converting the electrical signal into radio waves that can propagate through the air. 
     
  • Propagation:
    The radio waves travel through the air, potentially reflecting off obstacles depending on the frequency and environment. 
     
  • Receiver:
    The receiving device with an antenna that captures the radio waves and converts them back into an electrical signal, which is then demodulated to extract the original information. 
     


计算用于某频率的天线长度(源于Gemini):

For 433 MHz transmission and reception, a common and effective antenna length is 1/4 wavelength.

Here's how to calculate the approximate length:

  1. Find the wavelength:

    • Wavelength (λ) = Speed of light (c) / Frequency (f)
    • c (speed of light) ≈ 3 x 10^8 meters/second  
    • f (frequency) = 433 MHz = 433 x 10^6 Hz
    • λ = (3 x 10^8 m/s) / (433 x 10^6 Hz)
    • λ ≈ 0.69 meters
  2. Calculate 1/4 wavelength:

    • 1/4 λ ≈ 0.69 meters / 4 ≈ 0.17 meters ≈ 17 centimeters
Therefore, a good starting point for an antenna length at 433 MHz is around 17 centimeters.

Note: This is an approximate value. Actual performance can be influenced by factors like antenna type (e.g., dipole, monopole), antenna design, and the specific application.

Common antenna types for 433 MHz:

  • Helical antennas: These are often used for their compact size and reasonable performance.
  • Whip antennas: Simple and easy to construct, they are commonly used in many applications.  
  • Dipole antennas: These provide good performance but are typically larger than other types.

这是几天前做的:



照片上面的是发射器,下面的是接收器,红色LED是接收到了发射器发出的信号。

RF遥控器与IR遥控器比较:

RF的遥控器可以比IR(红外)遥控器(电视,照相机等)传播更远,红外遥控器只能在5米内有效,RF遥控器可以传播10米或更远,第一张照片里最右边的433 MHz的发射模板可以传到理论上的4.3公里。

应用:

1. 照相机的快门和闪光。

2. Drone的控制。

3. 机器手的控制。

4. 电机速度的控制。

5. 车库门的控制。

6. 汽车门的控制。

7. 汽车远程开动的控制 等等。
