Designed for insertion between antenna and input of any HF receiver to improve adjacent-channel selectivity by providing attenuation ahead of mixer for entire tuning range. Hewlett-Packard 5082-3379 PIN diode has very low impedance when conducting and very high impedance when biascurrent is small. NPN transistor Q1 provides over 100 mA as current source to PIN diode. Q1 is driven by AGO circuit through JFET buffer Q3.AGC voltage is derived from top of audio gain control in receiver for rectification, with 200 mVRMS at input of opamp U1 giving maximum attenuation. Center tap of T1 (any small AF transformer) can be grounded. CR1 and CR2 are germanium diodes. Article also gives circuit of IF system using cascaded 9-MHz crystal filters to improve selectivity further and provide over all AGC control range of 70 dB.-M.

Uses tuned loop with relatively low a for broadband operation over one amateur band, phase-coupled by FET to 10-inch vertical sensing antenna to give unidirectional reception pattern. Loop is tuned to either 80 or 40 meters by trimmer capacitor at its base. Out.put of loop is coupled to another 3N142 FET used as source follower, to isolate output of loop from heavy loading eff ect of 50-ohm transmission line going to receiver. Performance is comparable to that of full-size quarter-wave vertical antenna on 40 meters. Battery source can be used because drain is only about 2 mA.-J. J. Schultz, An Experimental Miniature Antenna for 40 to 80 m, 73 Magazine, June 1973, p29-32. (View)

Improves accuracy and measurement range for impedance measurements from 3.5 to 30 MHz, particularly resistive and reactive components of high-frequency antennas. Accuracy is 3 ohms BMS. Wideband noise, generated in zener followed by threetransistor amplifier, is iniected into two legs of bridge in equal amounts by toroidal transformer having quadrifilar windings. With un known impedance connected and detectorlany communication receiver) set to desired frequency, reference impedances (250-ohm noninductive pot and 360-pF variable capacitor) are adjusted for deepest possible null. Value of unknown impedance is then equal to parallel combination of references. Article covers construction and calibration.-R. A. Hubbs and A.

Works well through 450 MHz to for measuring and matching VHF and UHF antennas. If identical load impedances are placed at J2 and J3, signals at opposite ends of R3 are equal and in phase and there is no output at J4. If impedances are different, output proportional to difference appears at J4 Impedance values can be from 25 to 100 ohms, although drcuit is designed for optimum performance at 50 ohms.-J.

The circuit behaves like a zener diode over a large range of voltages. The current passing through the voltage divider R1-R2 is substantially larger than the transistor base current and is in the region of 8 mA. The stabilizing voltage is adjustable over the range 5-45 V by changing the value of R2. The total current drawn by the circuit is variable over the range 15 mA to 50 mA. This value is determined by the maximum dissipation of the zener diode. In the case of a 250 mW device, this is of the order of 50 mA. (View)

Time required for auto to activate sensors placed measured distance apart on driveway or road is used to energize relay or alarm circuit when auto exceeds predetermined speed. If speed limit chosen is 15 mph, set detectors 22 feet apart for travel time of 1 s. Sensors can be photocells or air-actuated solenoids. For most applications, R1 can be 1-megohm pot. Transistor type is not critical. Values of R2 and C2 determine how long alarm sounds.-J. Sandier, 9 Projects under $9, Modem Electronics, Sept. 1978, p 35-39. (View)

Transistor Q1 is a light-activated silicon-controlled rectifier (LASCR). The gate is tripped by light entering a small lens built into the top cap. To operate, provide a 6-in. length of stiff wire for the anode and cathode connections and terminate the wires in a polarized power plug that matches the sync terminals on your electronic flashgun (strobelight). Make certain the anode lead connects to the positive sync terminal. When using the device, bend the connecting wires so the LASCR lens faces the main flash. This will fire the remote unit. (View)
