The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8 will increase the gain to any value from 20 to 200.
The inputs are ground referenced while the output automatically biases to one-half the supply voltage. The quiescent power drain is only 24 milliwatts when operating from a 6 volt supply, making the LM386 ideal for battery operation.

This circuit is similar to the one above but uses positive feedback to get a little more amplitude to the speaker. I copied it from a small 5 transistor radio that uses a 25 ohm speaker. In the circuit above, the load resistor for the driver transistor is tied directly to the + supply. This has a disadvantage in that as the output moves positive, the drop across the 470 ohm resistor decreases which reduces the base current to the top NPN transistor. Thus the output cannot move all the way to the + supply because there wouldn't be any voltage across the 470 resistor and no base current to the NPN transistor.
This circuit corrects the problem somewhat and allows a larger voltage swing and probably more output power, but I don't know how much without doing a lot of testing. The output still won't move more than a couple volts using small transistors since the peak current won't be more than 100mA or so into a 25 ohm load. But it's an improvement over the other circuit above.
In this circuit, the 1K load resistor is tied to the speaker so that as the output moves negative, the voltage on the 1K resistor is reduced, which aids in turning off the top NPN transistor. When the output moves positive, the charge on the 470uF capacitor aids in turning on the top NPN transistor.

Published:2012/10/11 21:31:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: 3 Transistor, Audio Amp, 50 milliwatt
Here is a little audio amplifier similar to what you might find in a small transistor radio. The input stage is biased so that the supply voltage is divided equally across the two complimentary output transistors which are slightly biased in conduction by the diodes between the bases. A 3.3 ohm resistor is used in series with the emitters of the output transistors to stabilize the bias current so it doesn't change much with temperature or with different transistors and diodes. As the bias current increases, the voltage between the emitter and base decreases, thus reducing the conduction. Input impedance is about 500 ohms and voltage gain is about 5 with an 8 ohm speaker attached. The voltage swing on the speaker is about 2 volts without distorting and power output is in the 50 milliwatt range. A higher supply voltage and the addition of heat sinks to the output transistors would provide more power. Circuit draws about 30 milliamps from a 9 volt supply.

Published:2012/10/11 21:11:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Wideband, VHF, preamplifier
This inexpensive VHF preamplifier uses the BF324 TO92 style pnp transistor in a grounded-base configuration. The circuit may be used as a signal booster with VHF receivers whose front end suffers from low sensitivity (such as many valved and army surplus types). The frequency range of the preamplifier is roughly from 75MHz to 150MHz. The two inductors in the circuit are home made. L1 consists of 10turns of 24SWG enamelled copper wire; the internal diameter is 3mm, no core. Inductor L2 has 13 turns of the same wire, and an internal diameter of 5mm; no core is used either. A construction tip: close-wind the inductors using 3 and 5mm drill bits respectively as temporary formers.
The prototype of the preamplifier was successfully used with an 88-108 MHz FM broadcast receiver and a 2-metre VHF ham receiver. The preamplifier draws about 2.5mA from a 5-volt supply.

Here is a high performance RF amplifier for the entire VHF broadcast and PMR band (100-175 MHz) which can be successfully built without any special test equipment. The grounded-gate configuration is inherently stable without any neutralization if appropriate PCB layout techniques are employed. The performance of the amplifier is quite good.
The noise figure is below 2 dB and the gain is over 13 dB. The low noise figure and good gain will help car radios or home stereo receivers pick up the lower-power local or campus radio stations, or distant amateur VHF stations in the 2-metres band. Due to the so-called threshold effect, FM receivers loose signals abruptly so if your favourite station fades in and out as you drive, this amplifier can cause a dramatic improvement.
The MAX2633 is a low-voltage, low-noise amplifier for use from VHF to SHF frequencies. Operating from a single +2.7 V to +5.5V supply, it has a virtually flat gain response to 900 MHz. Its low noise figure and low supply current makes it ideal for RF receive, buffer and transmit applications. The MAX2633 is biased internally and has a user-selectable supply current, which can be adjusted by adding a single external resistor (here, R1). This circuit draws only 3 mA current.
VHF RF preamplifier circuit diagram
Besides a single bias resistor, the only external components needed for the MAX2630 family of RF amplifiers are input and output blocking capacitors, C1 and C3, and a VCC bypass capacitor, C2. The coupling capacitors must be large enough to contribute negligible reactance in a 50-Ω system at the lowest operating frequency. Use the following equation to calculate their minimum value:Cc = 53000/ flow [pF]

Published:2012/10/11 21:09:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Low voltage, microphone preamplifier
This is a low voltage microphone preamplifier circuit with a 1.5V power supply. The reference, with a 500 kHz unity-gain bandwidth, is used as a preamplifier with a gain of 100. Its output is fed through a gain-control potentiometer to the op amp, which is connected for a gain of 10. The combination gives a 60 dB gain with a 10 kHz bandwidth, unloaded, and 5 kHz loaded at 500 Ω . Input impedance is 10 kΩ.Potentially, using the reference as a preamplifier in this fashion can cause excess noise. However, because the reference voltage is low, the nose contribution, which adds root-mean-square, is likewise low. The input noise voltage in this connection is 440-500 nV Hz, about equal to that of the amp.

This 70MHz rf power amplifier circuit uses the SD1143 transistor which provides a gain of about 14dB in this design. It uses the fact that a 175MHz device has a much higher gain when used at lower frequencies. The amplifier was originally designed to be used with a transverter. The output is 8 to 10W for a 300 to 500 mW input power. Unfortunately, we dont have the coils values. With a few modifications you can use this amplifier for different frequencies.

BLW96 is a HF/VHF power transistor intended for use in class-A, AB and B operated high power industrial and military transmitting equipment in the h.f. and v.h.f. band.
BLW96 amplifier 450W 50MHz
A possible downside of this is that they may not have less gain at 50MHz compared to a VHF transistor but, as can be seen in Figure 1, at least 12 to 14dB of gain can be obtained at 50MHzz (the BLW96 performs well at 70MHz as well incidentally).To achieve the required output in this design, two BLW96s have been paralleled to provide 450 watts with just a little over 20 watts of drive. The input power is split using a Wilkinson power divider whose design was extensively discussed in SIX NEWS #33, The output of the two amplifiers are combined using the same, only reversed, circuit. Under normal circumstances the 100 ohm resistor connecting the two output (or input) ports does not dissipate very much power, but during tune-up it is possible that it could.
As it is important that these resistors are truly non-inductive, the design uses rather special devices.These are ‘bolt-down’ 100 Ohm terminating resistors with two flying leads to connect to the circuit board – they look rather like transistors in construction. (View)

High impedance headphones can be connected. The circuit can also drive a 4 ohm speaker.

In order to prevent the output transistors from being destroyed in case of an output short circuit, they must be heatsinked. The transistors must also be electrically isolated from heatsink. Supply voltage can be provided by an adaptor with 6-8 volts DC output.
