Ceramic tetrodes are operated as low-mu triodes, with control grids tied to cathodes. Amplifier takes about 200-W drive. Tuned-cathode input circuit presents better load to exciter. Bias is developed through 33K cathode resistor that is shorted out by relay during operation. In standby mode, plate current is virtually zero. Article covers construction and operation, with emphasis on proper cooling of tubes. Separate tuned circuits are required for each amateur band. L1 and L2 are 0.15 μH, L3 and L4 are 0.31 μH, and L5 is 1.3 μH. PC-1 and PC-2 are 3 turns No. 16 enamel wound on 50-ohm 2-W carbon resistor-S. W.

TWO_AMPLIFIERS_FOR_BIPOLAR_PULSES

Published:2009/7/15 22:38:00 Author:Jessie

Design procedure is based on fact that wide bandwidth is required only for leading and trailing edges of pulses. Auxiliary amplifier supplies current to charge load and stray capacitances, reducing standby current and improving gain. Auxiliary amplifier V4.VS provides charging current for shunt capacitance during positive-going edge of output pulse.-J. F.

FUNCTION_GENERATOR_POWER_BUFFER

Published:2009/7/14 1:18:00 Author:May

This buffer circuit can be used as an output booster for any function generator that has to be extended in order to drive several loads. The heart of the circuit is a video distribution amplifier IC from Elantec, the EL2099CT (listed by RS Components). This interesting device has a 3-dB power bandwidth of no less than 65 MHz at a gain of x2. Here, it is used to drive up to four 50-Ω loads at a maximum signal level in excess of 10 Vpeak. When used for video applications, the EL2099CT can drive up to six 75-Ω loads. The gain of the amplifier is x2; unity gain is not possible because of instability problems. The bandwidth of the circuit shown here is >10 MHz, while the output achieves a drive margin of >10 Vpeak . Current consumption will be of the order of 200 mA.   (View)

NONVOLATILE_LATCH

Published:2009/7/14 1:00:00 Author:May

Design shown for latch gives immunity to interfering noise pulses on command line and prevents loss of essential data bit during unexpected power-line interruption. Subminiature saturable transformers in positive feedback paths between two gates of latch prevent instantaneous change of state. Transformers remain magnetically biased in positive or negative saturation even without circuit power, to provide pretransient-state reference to which latch must return when power is reapplied.-G. E. Bloom, Add Nonvolatility to Your Next Latch Design, EDN Magazine, Jan. 5, 1978, p 80 and 82.   (View)

MIXER_LOAD_DIFFERENTIAL_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/15 23:25:00 Author:Jessie

Two different amplifier stages are used as the load of the mixer TUA2017 or MTl13006 (products developed by Siemens Co.). The LQ frequency is fixed at 483 MHz, because a commercial SAW oscillator at 483 MHz can be used as a local oscillator. If the RF frequency is swept from 433 to 633 MHz, then the IF frequency also is swept from 0 to 200 MHz. Compared to a passively loaded mixer, this combination of mixer and differential amplifiers exhibits excellent performance. The relative amplitude (amplitude difference between the fundamental frequency and the largest distortion frequency) is typically at least 50 dB. But it is only 30 dB (or less) in the case of a passive load mixer. Resistors R4, R5, R11, and R12 are used as the shunt feedback to obtain the flat output amplitude when the RE frequency is swept. The amplitude ripple with the IF bandwidth (0 to 200 MHz) is less than 0.5 dB.   (View)

SWITCHING_OPAMP

Published:2009/7/14 0:53:00 Author:May

Circuit provides change-over function when only single pair of contacts is available. With switch open, input A goes to output. With switch closed, input B goes to out-put and signal of input A is inverted by opamp so as to cancel direct signal A. Gain is unity for both output signals. Switch can be replaced by FET as in lower diagram; here, capacitor pre vents FET from cutting off during positive half-cycle above about 100 Hz. In multichangeover applications, opamp could be section of programmable opamp.-M. J. Sells, Electronic Changeover Switching, Wireless World, Dec.1974, p 503.   (View)
