nizes the pattern and causes the device to respond accordingly 33 opto components and circuits edit the emission spectrum of a typical sound system remote control is in the near infrared the infrared diode modulates at a speed corresponding to a particular function when seen through a digital camera the diode appears to be emitting pulses of purple light most remote controls for electronic appliances use a near infrared diode to emit a beam of light that reaches the device a 940 nm wavelength led is typical 34 this infrared light is not visible to the human eye but picked up by sensors on the receiving device video cameras see the diode as if it produces visible purple light with a single channel single function one button remote control the presence of a carrier signal can be used to trigger a function for multi channel normal multi function remote controls more sophisticated procedures are necessary one consists of modulating the carrier with signals of different frequencies after the receiver demodulates the received signal it applies the appropriate frequency filters to separate the respective signals one can often hear the signals being modulated on the infrared carrier by operating a remote control in very close proximity to an am radio not tuned to a station today ir remote controls almost always use a pulse width modulated code encoded and decoded by a digital computer a command from a remote control consists of a short train of pulses of carrier present and carrier not present of varying widths citation needed consumer electronics infrared protocols edit different manufacturers of infrared remote controls use different protocols to transmit the infrared commands the rc 5 protocol that has its origins within philips uses for instance a total of 14 bits for each button press the bit pattern is modulated onto a carrier frequency that again can be different for different manufacturers and standards in the case of rc 5 the carrier is 36 khz other consumer infrared protocols include the various versions of sircs used by sony the rc 6 from philips the ruwido r step and the nec tc101 protocol infrared line of sight and operating angle edit since infrared ir remote controls use light they require line of sight to operate the destination device the signal can however be reflected by mirrors just like any other light source if operation is required where no line of sight is possible for instance when controlling equipment in another room or installed in a cabinet many brands of ir extenders are available for this on the market most of these have an ir receiver picking up the ir signal and relaying it via radio waves to the remote part which has an ir transmitter mimicking the original ir control infrared receivers also tend to have a more or less limited operating angle which mainly depends on the optical characteristics of the phototransistor however it is easy to increase the operating angle using a matte transparent object in front of the receiver radio remote control systems edit this section does not cite any sources please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources unsourced

exterior and interior layout of the remote control for a garage door opener radio remote control rf remote control is used to control distant objects using a variety of radio signals transmitted by the remote control device as a complementary method to infrared remote controls the radio remote control is used with electric garage door or gate openers automatic barrier systems burglar alarms and industrial automation systems standards used for rf remotes are bluetooth avrcp zigbee rf4ce z wave most remote controls use their own coding transmitting from 8 to 100 or more pulses fixed or rolling code using ook or fsk modulation also transmitters or receivers can be universal meaning they are able to work with many different codings in this case the transmitter is normally called a universal remote control duplicator because it is able to copy existing remote controls while the receiver is called a universal receiver because it works with almost any remote control in the market a radio remote control system commonly has two parts transmit and receive the transmitter part is divided into two parts the rf remote control and the transmitter module this allows the transmitter module to be used as a component in a larger application the transmitter module is small but users must have detailed knowledge to use it combined with the rf remote control it is much simpler to use the receiver is generally one of two types a super regenerative receiver or a superheterodyne the super regenerative receiver works like that of an intermittent oscillation detection circuit the superheterodyne works like the one in a radio receiver the superheterodyne receiver is used because of its stability high sensitivity and it has relatively good anti interference ability a small package and lower price usage edit industry edit a remote control is used for controlling substations pump storage power stations and hvdc plants for these systems often plc systems working in the longwave range are used power line remote control edit a subset of power line communication that sends remote control signals over energized ac power lines this was used to remotely control home automation before the invention of wifi connected smart switches garage and gate edit garage and gate remote controls also called clickers or openers are very common especially in some countries such as the us australia and the uk where garage doors gates and barriers are widely used such a remote is very simple by design usually only one button and some with more buttons to control several gates from one control such remotes can be divided into two categories by the encoder type used fixed code and rolling code if you find dip switches in the remote it is likely to be fixed code an older technology which was widely used however fixed codes have been criticized for their lack of security thus rolling code has been more and more widely used in later installations military edit the brennan torpedo one of the earliest guided missiles remotely operated torpedoes were demonstrated in the late 19th century in the form of several types of remotely controlled torpedoes the early 1870s saw remotely controlled torpedoes by john ericsson pneumatic john louis lay electric wire guided and victor von scheliha electric wire guided 35 the brennan torpedo invented by louis brennan in 1877 was powered by two contra rotating propellers that were spun by rapidly pulling out wires from drums wound inside the torpedo differential speed on the wires connected to the shore station allowed the torpedo to be guided to its target making it the world s first practical guided missile 36 in 1898 nikola tesla publicly demonstrated a wireless radio controlled torpedo that he hoped to sell to the u s navy 37 38 archibald low was known as the father of radio guidance systems for his pioneering work on guided rockets and planes during the first world war in 1917 he demonstrated a remote controlled aircraft to the royal flying corps and in the same year built the first wire guided rocket as head of the secret rfc experimental works at feltham a m low was the first person to use radio control successfully on an aircraft an aerial target it was piloted from the ground by future world aerial speed record holder henry segrave 39 low s systems encoded the command transmissions as a countermeasure to prevent enemy intervention 40 by 1918 the secret d c b section of the royal navy s signals school portsmouth under the command of eric robinson v c used a variant of the aerial target s radio control system to control from mother aircraft different types of naval vessels including a submarine 41 the military also developed several early remote control vehicles in world war i the imperial german navy employed fl boats fernlenkboote against coastal shipping these were driven by internal combustion engines and controlled remotely from a shore station through several miles of wire wound on a spool on the boat an aircraft was used to signal directions to the shore station embs carried a high explosive charge in the bow and traveled at speeds of thirty knots 42 the soviet red army used remotely controlled teletanks during the 1930s in the winter war against finland and the early stages of world war ii a teletank is controlled by radio from a control tank at a distance of 500 to 1 500 meters the two constituting a telemechanical group the red army fielded at least two teletank battalions at the beginning of the great patriotic war there were also remotely controlled cutters and experimental remotely controlled planes in the red army remote controls in military usage employ jamming and countermeasures against jamming jammers are used to disable or sabotage the enemy s use of remote controls the distances for military remote controls also tend to be much longer up to intercontinental distance satellite linked remote controls used by the u s for their unmanned airplanes drones in afghanistan iraq and pakistan remote controls are used by insurgents in iraq and afghanistan to attack coalition and government troops with roadside improvised explosive devices and terrorists in iraq are reported in the media to use modified tv remote controls to detonate bombs 43 space edit remote controlled free flying television camera aercam sprint in the winter of 1971 the soviet union explored the surface of the moon with the lunar vehicle lunokhod 1 the first roving remote controlled robot to land on another celestial body remote control technology is also used in space travel for instance the soviet lunokhod vehicles were remote controlled from the ground many space exploration rovers can be remotely controlled though vast distance to a vehicle results in a long time delay between transmission and receipt of a command pc control edit existing infrared remote controls can be used to control pc applications citation needed any application that

for the analog slr camera canon eos 100 from 1991 remote controls are used in photography in particular to take long exposure shots many action cameras such as the gopros 44 as well as standard dslrs including sony s alpha series 45 incorporate wi fi based remote control systems these can often be accessed and even controlled via cell phones and other mobile devices 46 video games edit wii remote video game consoles had not used wireless controllers until recently when mainly because of the difficulty involved in playing the game while keeping the infrared transmitter pointed at the console early wireless controllers were cumbersome and when powered on alkaline batteries lasted only a few hours before they needed replacement some wireless controllers were produced by third parties in most cases using a radio link instead of infrared even these were very inconsistent and in some cases had transmission delays making them virtually useless some examples include the double player for nes the master system remote control system and the wireless dual shot for the playstation the first official wireless game controller made by a first party manufacturer was the cx 42 for atari 2600 the philips cd i 400 series also came with a remote control the wavebird was also produced for the gamecube in the seventh generation of gaming consoles wireless controllers became standard some wireless controllers such as those of the playstation 3 and wii use bluetooth others like the xbox 360 use proprietary wireless protocols standby power edit to be turned on by a wireless remote the
