Provides two channels for feeding stereo phones or two loudspeakers. When interference occurs a few hundred hertz from desired frequency, receiver is tuned so desired signal appears to be midway between loudspeakers, leaving interfering signals at right or left. Left or low channel has low-pass active filter and right or high channel has high-pass filter, with crossover at 750 Hz. Synthesizer is designed for low-impedance drive, as from loudspeaker output of receiver. Resistors in output channels prevent oscillation when 8-ohm phones or loudspeakers are directly connected to outputs. Opamps will drive 2000-ohm phones with ample volume and give moderate volume levels with 8-ohm loads.-D. E. Hildreth, Synthesizer for Binaural CW Reception, Ham Radio, Nov. 1975, p 46-48 (View)

Audio sidetone oscillator serves for monitoring CW keying. Changes in transmitter operating frequency do not affect sidetone circuit. Hartley AF oscillator Q2 is turned on by diode rectifier and DC amplifier Q1.Antenna coupling shown is adequate from 160 through 10 meters. For VHF use on 6 and 2 meters, small tuned circuit and pickup antenna are usually required to get enough RF input for monitor. Audio pitch is adjusted by changing value of C1.-J.

Uses low-pass filter instead of usual tuned circuit, so only associated receiver need be tuned. Measured threshold sensitivity is about 20 μv. Transistors used in dual-gate MOSFET mixer and FET oscillator are not critical. Crystal can be any frequency compatible with tuning range of receiver used. With 3.5-MHz crystal, 3.5 MHz on receiver dial corresponds to 0 kHz and 3.6 MHz to 100 kHz.-R. N. Coan, VLF Converter, Ham Radio, July 1976, p69. (View)

During the first half-cycle (Fig. 99-5(a)), D1 conducts, D2 cuts off, C1 charges to 170 V peak, and C2 discharges through RL For the second half-cycle (Fig. 99-5(b)), the input polarity is reversed, and both the input and C1 are in series, which produces 340 V (peak). Now, D1 cuts off, while D2 conducts, and the current divides between C2 and RL; the cycle then repeats. Two Half-Wave Rectifiers, one with a positive output (Fig. 99-5(c)) and one negative (Fig. 99-5(d)), combine to make a full-wave voltage doubler (Fig. 99-5(e)). (View)

Developed to enhance ability to read CW despite heavy contest traffic or other QRM. Two high-Q filters, one at each end of 400-Hz CW filter in receiver, create separate audio channels to give effect of stereo.Transistors at outputs of channels provide extra current gain for driving low-impedance stereo headphones. CW signal at 800 Hz then appears to comefrom left, 1200-Hz signal from right, and in between frequencies at various azimuth angles. Illusion of direction makes it easier for operator to concentrate on desired signal in presonce of others having slightly different frequencies. L1 and C1 form filter for 1200-Hz channel, while L2 and C2 form 800-Hz filter for other channel.-R. L. Anderson, Stereo-a New Type of CW Filter, 73 Magazine, March 1976, p 48-50. (View)

Figure 99-l(a)'s circuit exhibits a high-output impedance as a result of the small effective capacitance of the series-connected capacitors, and it exhibits considerable voltage loss due to all of the diode drops. Further, this circuit requires 2n diodes and 2n capacitors to produce a dc output voltage approximately n times the rail voltage.Figure 99-1(b)'s circuit multiplies more effectively using fewer diodes and capacitors. The parallel arrangement of the capacitors lets you use smaller capacitors than those required in Fig. 99-1(a). Alternatively, when using the same capacitor values of Fig. 99-1(a), the output impedance will be lower.Whereas the clock source directly drives only one of the two strings of capacitors in Fig. 99-1(a), Fig. 99-1(b)'s clock drives both strings with opposite phases. This drive scheme doubles the voltage per stage of two diodes. A final diode is necessary to pick off the dc output voltage because both strings of capacitors now carry the p-p ac input-voltage waveform. The ICL7667 dual-FET driver accepts a TTL drive swing and provides a low-impedance push-pull drive to the diode string. This low impedance is particularly helpful when using a long string to raise output voltage to more than 100 V, starting from a low rail voltage. (View)

If AF signal appears at input of stage but not at output, that stage has a defect. Signal source may also be signal injector having broadband output from audio through VHF.-M.
