Autodyne – a Multifunctional Element of Devices for the Formation and Processing of Radio Signals
The information about the history of invention and the development of autodyne topics related to the use of autodyne in devices for the formation and processing of radio signals is presented. This paper contains brief information about the English inventor of the autodyne H. Round, the inventor of the theremin L.S. Termene and others. The stages of formation and development of the field of autodyne application in transceiver devices are considered. The prospects of this direction of radio engineering associated with the practical use of autodyne in hybrid-integral and monolithic transceiver modules made by using modern CMOS technology are demonstrated. These modules, combined with active antennas, are in demand in last mile communication systems for the needs of the Internet and other services.
