what is depletion region in fm radio?

 

Hi

Are you sure of your terminology? Usually, one only finds depletion regions in transistors and other semiconductors. Unless you're talking about a spot in the frequency band unusually heavily populated with talk radio stations?

Agreed. Depletion region in FM radio doesn't make sense :huh:

 

in some places FM radio is called a transistor,colloquially... is that causing the confussion

You know, that did actually cross my mind when I read this question! There is a reference to 'Transistor Radio' in Van Morrison's song Brown Eyed Girl

 

Hi Dave,

As long as we're drifting off topic, try an old 1960 hit, "Transistor Sister".

:lol: Freddy Cannon by any chance!

 

Freddy Cannon? Nope. It was old the second time I heard it. But Sony had just put out the first transistor radio, which was the impetus for the song.

 

Ok

Its just that Transistor Sister was a hit for Freddy Cannon in the 60's (or was that the 50's), I'm not that old that I remember!!

 

depletion region exist only in semiconductor parts such as transistors diode etc,,,
