PRECISION_FULL_WAVE_RECTIFIER

Published:2009/6/25 23:42:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes The circuit provides accurate full wave rectification. The output impedance is low for both input polarities, and the errors are small at all signal levels. Note that the output will not sink heavy current, except a small amount through the 10 K resistors. Therefore, the load applied should be referenced to ground or a negative voltage. Reversal of all diode polarities will reverse the polarity of the output. Since the outputs of the amplifiers must slew through two diode drops when the input polarity changes, 741 type devices give 5% istortion at about 300 Hz.   (View)

AC_MOTOR_BRAKE

Published:2009/6/25 23:37:00 Author:May

A shot of direct current will instantly stop any ac power tool motor. Switch S1 is a center-off, one side spring return. With S1 on, ac will be fed to the motor and the motor will run. To brake the motor, simply press S1 down and a quick shot of dc will instantly stop it. The switch returns to the center off position when released. This Power Brake can only be used with ac motors; it will not brake universal (ac-dc) motors. A heat sink must be provided for the diode.   (View)

Portabl e receiver with directional ferrod antenna and ver-tical sense antenna was developed for radio foxhunting at 1975 Bov Scout World Jamboree in Norway, in competitions for locating four low-power crystal-controlled transmitters hid-den along 4-km course. Varactor-tuned oscillator provides 20-kHz tuning range with R9, ade-quate for the frequency used-3.566, 3.585, 3.635, or 3680 MHz. T1 is subminiature auto-transformer with 8-ohm and 2000-ohm sec-tions, for 8-ohm headphones. For high-imped-ance headphones, connect headphone jack J1 to lug 9 of T1. ON/OFF switch is not needed, L1 is 22 turns No. 28 enamel wound over two 10×95 mm ferrite rodstaped together. 01-06 are NPN high-frequency small-signal transistors.-N. K.

SELF_EXCITED_SWR_BRlDGE

Published:2009/6/25 23:19:00 Author:May

Portable bridge has built-in signal sources for each band from 80 through 10 meters, for tuning antenna on tower before transmission line is connected.Oscillators are crystal controlled at desired antenna tuneup frequencies. Separate oscillators for each band simplify switching problems, so only supply voltage from J1 and oscillator outputs to meter circuit need be switched. Current drain from 9-V battery is maximum of 12 mA.R17 and R18 should be closely matched, while R1, and R20 should have 5% tolerance.-T.P.Hulick, An S.W.R.Bridge with a Built-In 80 Through 10 Meter Signal Source, CQ1 June 1971,p 64-66 68, and 99.   (View)

HALF_WAVE_RECTIFIER

Published:2009/6/25 23:06:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes This circuit provides for accurate half wave rectification of the incoming signal. For positive signals, the gain is 0; for negative signals, the gain is -1. By reversing both di-odes, the polarity can be inverted. This circuit provides an accurate output, but the output impedance differs for the two input polarities and buffering may be needed. The output must slew through two diode drops when the input polarity reverses. The NE5535 device will work up to 10 kHz with less ttan 5% distortion.   (View)

DELAYED_BRAKE

Protects antenna rotator on high tower from damage by delaying brake ac-tion automatically after rotation and by disa-bling direction-selector switches so antenna system coasts to stop before rotation can begin in other direction. For about 3.s delay in timer U4, use 2.2 megohms for R and 1μF for C instead of values shown.

70_dB_VOLTAGECONTROLLED_GAIN

Amplifier Q1 uses current source Q2 as emitter resistor to provide correct current bias for class A operation. Coupling through 150-μF capacitor to silicon diode string D1-D8 provides variable re-sistance needed to achieve variable gain. Sim-ple differential amplifier Q3-Q4 adjusts forward bias of diodes to change their forward resis-tanco. Increasing positive control voltage from 0 to 4.5 V changes voltage gain from -74 dBm to about -4 dBm with respect to 0-dBm input signaL-N.A Steiner, Voltage-Controlled Am-plifier Covers 70 dB Range, EDN Magazine, March 5, 1975, p 72 and 74.   (View)

TELEPHONE_CONTROLLED_TAPE_STARTER_TCTS

Published:2009/6/25 22:18:00 Author:May

This circuit converts a tape recorder into a completely automatic telephone conversation recording instrument that needs no external power source. Voltage at the switch terminals of tape recorder applied to a pair of Darlington-connected transistors, Q1 and Q2, will turn on and start the tape recorder. To turn the transistors off, and thereby stop the machine, apply a negative voltage to the base of Q1 from the phone line. When the telephone receiver is on the hook, there is typically about 50 volts dc across the phone divided across R1, R2, and R4 in such a way that the base of Q1 is sufficiently negative to keep the tape recorder off. When the phone's receiver is picked up, the voltage on the telephone line drops to about 5 volts, which leaves insufficient negative vol-tage on the base of Q1 to keep it cut off, so the tape recorder starts and begins to record.   (View)
