POT_SHOT

Published:2009/7/1 5:31:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes This is a circuit for a game of the shooting gallery variety. IC2a and b form an astable multivibrator clocking IC1 which causes LEDs 1-8 to flash in turn LED 5 is the target LED and the object of the game is to depress PBI just as LED 5 comes on. If this is done, the whole display is blanked for a few seconds signifying a hit. Otherwise, the LED which was lit remains lit. When the push button is released, C2 dis-charges through R2 taking 8 pin 13 low again and the LEDs will start to flash again.   (View)

|Circuit furnishes green indication at resonance and red for either side of resonance. Uses Monsanto MV5491 dual redlgreen LED, with 220 ohms in upper lead to +5 V supply and 100 ohms in lower +5 V lead because red and green LEDs in parallel back-to-back have different voltage requirements. Useful for SSTV, RTTY, or subaudio-tone indication for control purposes on FM. Circuit requires two driver ICs and one section of hex inverter IC, with any suitable active filter used to form level detector for signals at desired frequency.-K.Powell, Novel Indicator Circuit, Ham Radio, April 1977, p 60-63.   (View)

AM_DEMODULATOR

Published:2009/7/1 5:12:00 Author:May

Amplifying and limiting of the AM carrier is accomplished by the if gain block providing 55 dB of gain or higher with a limiting of 40 μV. The limited carrier is then applied to the detector at the carrier ports to provide the desired switching function. The signal is then demodulated by the synchronous AM demodulator (1496) where the carrier frequency is attentuated due to the balanced nature of the device. Care must be taken not to overdrive the signal input so that distortion does not appear in the recorded audio.Maximum conversion gain is reached when the carrier signals are in phase as indicated by the phase-gain relationship. Output ftltering is also necessary to remove high frequency sum components of the carrier from the audio signal.   (View)

NARROW_BAND_FM_DEMODULATOR_WITH_CARRIER_DETECT

Published:2009/7/1 5:07:00 Author:May

For FM demodulation applications where the bandwidth is less than 10% of the carrier frequency, an XR-567 can be used to detect the presence of the carrier signal. The output of the XR-567 is used to turn off the FM demodulator when no carrier is present, thus acting as a squelch. In the circuit shown, an XR-215 FM demodulator is used because of its wide dynamic range, high signal/noise ratio and low distortion.The XR-567 will detect the presence of a carrier at frequencies up to 500 kHz.   (View)

TRIGGERED_BISTABLE

Published:2009/7/1 5:06:00 Author:May

Positive feedback applied to opamp through R2 and R1 causes amplifier output to remain at either its positive or negative saturation limit. Triggering pulses for changing state of output may be applied to either input terminal, through C1 or C2; pulse polarity required to produce transition depends on state of circuit, which should be verified ex-perimentally.-G.
