		<description><![CDATA[When setting up a wireless microphone system, it can be difficult to determine what TV stations have the potential to cause interference, and even harder to know which ones WILL cause interference. The only surefire way to do it is to bring in a real spectrum analyzer, which will cost ten&#8217;s of thousands of dollars. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently heard someone mention on a forum that if you do not use an antenna distribution unit (multicoupler) with your wireless microphones, then you would be facing intermodulation problems. This post will hopefully dispel that belief and explain why antenna distros are useful, and what they can and can&#8217;t do, Antenna distro units are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This section goes into detail on some of the more technical topics relating to wireless microphones. Gain Structure Just as in audio systems, gain structure and noise are extremely important for radio frequency devices. In particular, RF systems are very susceptable to various kinds of noise and interference, including thermal noise, intermodulation, distortion, and other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frequency coordination is essential to the proper function of wireless systems.  Not only must channels be sufficiently spaced apart, but they must also be checked to ensure that they will not interfere with each other if the RF signals become distorted.  This phenomenon, commonly referred to as \emph{Intermodulation distortion}, occurs when signals pass through nonlinear devices such as amplifiers and receiver circuits.  Finally, channels must be selected to avoid television stations (both analog and digital), and also two-way radio systems operating in certain cities.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Antennas are passive electrical devices that convert electromagnetic radiation into electrical signals, and vice versa. Both transmitters and receivers require antennas to operate. Transmitters typically have small &#8220;whip&#8221; antennas mounted on them, and receivers usually have a connector on the rear to attach an external antenna. There are a number of types of antennas commonly [...]]]></description>
