RAZOR_SHARP_CW_FILTER

Published:2009/7/2 2:57:00 Author:May

The circuit consists of four stages of active bandpass ftltering provided by two typeμA747 integrated-circuit dual op amps and includes a simple threshold detector (diodes D1 and D2) between stages 2 and 3 to reduce low-level background noise. Each of the four filter stages acts as a narrow bandpass ftlter with an audio bandpass centered at 750 Hz. The actual measured 3-dB bandwidth is only 80 Hz wide.   (View)

LIGHT_TRANSMISSION_CHECKER

Published:2009/7/2 2:16:00 Author:May

Phototransistor and quad opamp serve as total-energy detector of pulsed-light signals propagated through fiber-optic cable of communication system. Can be used for checking and comparing condition of long fibers if light intensity of source is held constant. Will also detect changes in light intensity and changes in pulse width. Circuit gives linear response to light levels from 100 to 10,000 ergs/cm2 if minimum pulse width is at least10 μs. A2, acts as RC integrator, giving voltage proportional to total light energy received. A4 provides comparison to fixed level.-E. W.

IF_NOISE_BLANKER

Published:2009/7/2 2:15:00 Author:May

Used ahead of 455.kHz IF strip of communication receiver to provide about 40-dB attenuation of ignition and other noise pulses that can interfere with reception in 2- and 6-meter amateur bands. Two paths for noise pulses, one AC and the other DC, must be balanced for good operation. Resistor and capadtor values in noise rectifier are chosen to select sharp noise pulses in preference to signals. DC noise pulses are amplified by pulse amplifier and converted to AC notse pulses. Settings of pots are optimized for best noise blanking. Circuit requires 12-V supply, which can be obtained from receiver with appropriate dropping resistors and zener as shown for +105 V, or from separate source.-F. C. Uones. Ex. perimental I.F.

THEREMIN

Published:2009/7/2 1:40:00 Author:May

Two transistor oscillator stages generate separate low-power RF signal in broadcast band, for pickup by AM broadcast receiver. Movement of hand toward or away from metal pitch plate varies trequency of Q1, making audio output of receiver vary conespondingly as beat frequency changes. Both circuits are Hartley oscillators, using Miner 9012 or equivalent slug-tuned colls. To adjust initially, place next to radio and set tuning slug of L1 about two-thirds out of its winding. Set slug of L2 about one-third out of its winding. Tune radio until either oscillator signal is heard. Signal can be identified by whistle if on top of broadcast station or by quieting of background noise if between stations. Adjust slugs so whistle is heard at desired location ot quieting signal. Pitch of whistleshould change now ashand is brought near pitch plate.-J. P Shields, How to Build Proximity Detectors & Metal Locators, Howard W.

HAND_WAVING_THEREMIN

Published:2009/7/2 1:31:00 Author:May

Single-transistor RF oscillator is tuned to generate frequency about 455 kHz above oscillator frequency of transistor radio. With aluminum-foil antenna away from nearby objects and radio tuned be-tween stations, R1 is adjusted until highpitched tone is heard from radio. Now, as hand is brought toward and away from foil antenna, wailing sounds are produced. With practice, musician can produce recognizable melodies by vibrating hand. Primary controls of frequency are C1 (10-365 pF broadcast radio tuning capacitor) and adjustable antenna coil L1 (Radio Shack 270-1430). Radio can be up to 15 feet away from theremin. Rotate radio for maximum pickup from L1-F. M. Mims, Electronic Music Projects, Vol. 1, Radio Shack, Fort Worth, TX, 1977, 2nd Ed. p 81-89.   (View)

ATTACK_DECAY_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/2 0:58:00 Author:May

Designed for polytonic electronic music system handling more than one note at a time. Each note to be controlled is sent through voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) whose gain is set by charge on capacitor. Attack is changed by varying charging rate. Discharge rate sets decay of individual note. To avoid having separate adjustment pot for each VCA, duty-cycle modulation is used to change charging current through resistors. Attack pulses are generated by upper three inverters forming variable-symmetry astable MVBR. Decay pulses are generated by lower three inverters connected as half-mono MVBR. Additional half-monos can be added as needed for percussion, snubbing, and other two-step decay effects.-D. Lancaster, CM0S Cook-book.''Howard W.Sams.Indianapolis.IN.1977.p231－232   (View)

TROMBONE_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/2 0:42:00 Author:May

Unique arrangement for driving 25-ohm loudspeaker with National LM3909 IC operating from 1.5-V cell permits generation of slide tones resembling those of trombone. Operation is based on use of voltage generated by resonant motion of loudspeaker voice coil as major positive feedback for IC. Loudspeaker is mounted in roughly cubical box having volume of about 64 in, with one end of box arranged to slide in and out like piston. Positioning of piston and operation of pushbutton permit playing reasonable semblance of simple 15 V tune. IC, loudspeaker, and battery are mounted on piston, with 2 1/2-in length of 5/16-in tubing provided to bleed air in and out as piston is moved, without affecting resonant frequency. Frequency of oscillator becomes equal to resonant frequency of enclosure.- Linear Applications, Vol. 2, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, AN-154, p 6.   (View)
