RADIO_DIRECTION_FINDER_

Published:2009/7/10 4:46:00 Author:May

This RDF circuit consists of a square-wave oscillator (IC1), which switches two antennas alternately at an audio rate. A phase detector (Q1, 2, 3, 7) is used to compare receiver output amplified by IC2 with the reference phase from IC2 with the reference phase from IC1. A 50-μA meter is used as a left-right indicator. IC3 is a comparator used to drive indicator LEDs.   (View)

AM_radio

Published:2009/7/19 23:21:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit uses the LM3909 as a basic AM radio (chapter 2). The tuned circuit is a standard AM-radio ferrite antenna coil (loopstick with a tap 40% of the turns from one end) and a 360-pF tuning capacitor). The short antenna is 10 to 20' and the long antenna is 30 to 100'. Notice that this radio does not oscillate, and tuning is only as good as a simple crystal set. Because of the low power drain, the circuit will operate continuously for about a month on a single D flashlight cell, and drive a 6 speaker.
