Radio Frequencies?

For Dummies…

05.07.22

I need to understand how my stalkers are able to transmit on the currents around me without any “known” transmitters/receivers nearby so that I can intercept them directly. My recordings thus far have turned up mostly just the sound of a fan that I happen to be arguing with in the background. Disappointing and frustrating to say the least. So, I am reading up on radio electronics. This is what I have so far. Radio transmitters consists of several elements that work together to generate radio waves that contain useful information such as audio, video or digital data. The first being Power supply: Provides the necessary electrical power to operate the transmitter. That one is simple enough right? The next part is the Oscillator: Creates alternating current at the frequency on which the transmitter will transmit. The oscillator usually generates a sine wave, which is referred to as a carrier wave. Oscillator meaning back and forth, so creating an alternating current makes sense to me. I know what I sound like but it’s because I really am ignorant on this subject. (Which is another reason why I welcome all feedback, if anyone out there ever actually reads this.) I’m not exactly sure how an oscillator does that but I’m also not so sure that I really need to. Over the last year mainly I have taken apart my fair share of electronics (and cars) looking for listening devices. Very embarrassing and totally out of character for me but I couldn’t just sit around listening to them anymore. Anyhow I came across a few oscillators and I’m wondering now if just about any electronic device could be converted into a transmitter or considered a transmitter? And what exactly do they mean by “frequency the transmitter will transmit”? Is the frequency the speed at which it will transmit? So the amount of power would be measured in wattage? And the speed would be measured in frequencies? To be cont’d…..
