So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

An In-Depth Look At Today's Wireless Speaker Products

By Mike Heller


Wireless audio happens to be widely used. A multitude of consumer products including wireless speakers are cutting the cable plus promise greatest freedom of movement. I will investigate how most current wireless technology can deal with interference from other transmitters and just how well they will perform in a real-world scenario. The buzz of cordless products including wireless speakers is mainly responsible for a rapid increase of transmitters which broadcast in the most popular frequency bands of 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz and therefore wireless interference has become a serious problem.

The buzz of wireless gadgets like wireless speakers is responsible for a quick rise of transmitters which broadcast in the most popular frequency bands of 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz and thus wireless interference has become a major issue.

Simply changing channels, nonetheless, is no reliable remedy for avoiding certain transmitters which use frequency hopping. Frequency hoppers which include Bluetooth systems as well as quite a few wireless phones are going to hop throughout the full frequency spectrum. As a consequence transmission over channels will likely be disrupted for short bursts of time. Audio can be viewed as a real-time protocol. As such it has stringent needs regarding stability. Furthermore, small latency is important in several applications. Therefore more innovative strategies are needed to guarantee stability.

Frequency hopping devices, nonetheless, will still create problems since they will affect even transmitters using transmit channels. Real-time audio has rather rigid requirements regarding dependability and minimal latency. To be able to provide those, additional mechanisms are required.

In situations in which there's just a small number of receivers, frequently yet another method is utilized. The cordless receiver will send information packets to the transmitter to confirm good receipt of information. The data that is transmit includes a checksum. Because of this checksum the receiver may determine whether any certain packet was received properly and acknowledge. Since lost packets must be resent, the transmitter and receivers have to hold information packets in a buffer. Employing buffers brings about a delay or latency in the transmission. The amount of the delay is proportional to the buffer size. A bigger buffer size enhances the dependability of the transmission. Video applications, however, require the audio to be synchronized with the movie. In such cases a big latency is difficult. Systems that integrate this kind of procedure, however, are limited to transmitting to a few receivers and the receivers use up more power.

To avoid crowded frequency channels, several wireless speakers watch clear channels and can switch to a clear channel once the current channel gets occupied by a different transmitter. The clean channel is selected from a list of channels that has been determined to be clear. One modern technology that utilizes this particular transmission protocol is referred to as adaptive frequency hopping spread spectrum or AFHSS
