Hey guys, I'm working on a physics project about the study of electromagnetic waves including their production and detection. I need help with the electronics part.
My questions regarding the production:
1) Will just a tank circuit be enough to produce electromagnetic waves, propagated through an antenna?
2)How do I supply power to charge the capacitor? (where do I connect a voltage source?)
And do I need a constant power supply or provide feedback to the circuit?
3) Where do I connect the antenna?
Regarding detection:
I'm pretty clueless about this one. I want something to happen, like an LED to glow, when the receiver circuit receives the radiation and resonates. How should I go about this?
P.S. The circuit diagram probably looks very stupid, please excuse me.
