FET_FOR_AGC

Published:2009/7/16 2:42:00 Author:Jessie

FET_FOR_AGC
Uses 2N2498 fet as variable-emitter resistor in common-emitter transistor amplifier. Low-current 2N3328 is used to supply constant emitter bias current and have very light dynamic loading on emitter for maximum agc range. Since variable resistor is capacitor-coupled to emitter of transistor, there is no change in bias current when strong agc voltage is suddenly applied. Absence of transient thump makes circuit desirable for broadcast speech compressors.-L. J. Sevin, Jr., Field-Effect Transistors, McGraw-Hill, N.Y., 1965, p 78.   (View)

LOG_LIMITER

LOG_LIMITER
Installed between microphone and AF input connector of transmitter to increase averdge level of human voice and corresponding SSB transmitter output signal.Preamp U1 increases audio input level to over-come loss of following high-pass filter. Lowpass filter after logamp U2 eliminates all energy above about 2950 Hz. Last opamp U3 sets out.put level of processor for driving station transmitter properly. Overall amount of amplitude limiting is determined by setting of preamp gain control R4. Higffipass filter eliminates 60-Hz hum developed in audio system or in accessory equipment and reduces harmonic distortion generated by deeply pitched voice or by hum picked up from tape recorder or phone patch.Gain of opamp is determined by CR1-CR2, which give logarithmic response to audio input amplitude. Adjust R2, R17, and R19 for minimum distortion while applying 1-kHz sine wave to input.-R. Myers, A Quasi-Logarithmic Ana-Log Amplitude Limiter with Frequency-Domain Processing, QST, Aug. 1974, p 22-25 and 40.   (View)

AUTOMATIC_HEADLIGHT_DIMMER

Published:2009/7/13 4:53:00 Author:May

AUTOMATIC_HEADLIGHT_DIMMER
The circuit is designed to switch your car's lights from its high beams to its low beams when traffic approaches. With Q1 in moderate darkness, the variable resistors should be adjusted to produce no base current through Q2. When there are no approaching headlights to trigger the system, K1 is not energized, and its contacts remain closed. Relay K2 is energized, and the high-beam lights are on.When light from an approaching car shines on the phototransistor, the base current and collector current of the PNP transistor increase substantially, and K1 is energized. That automatically deenergizes K2 (a power-type relay fed directly by the car battery), shutting off the high-beam headlights and tuming on the low-beam lamps. Switch S1 should be conveniently located on the dash of the vehicle. Keep the switch turned off during the day so that the circuit will not leave your lights on in sunlight.   (View)

TOUCH_SWITCH_3

Published:2009/7/13 4:51:00 Author:May

TOUCH_SWITCH_3
Finger on insulated metal plate applies small AC voltage (picked up by body) to FET Tr1 for amplification, to produce line-frequency square wave across R4 for application to memory section Tr3-Tr5. Charging of C3 through Tr3 and R5 produces DC output voltage across R8 that is fed to UJT Tr6 for triggering thyristor. C4 is discharged at about 10-ms intervals by Tr6 which operates from rectified AC line. For high voltage across R8, such as 4 V, thyristor is triggered early in AC cycle and maximum power is supplied to load. Diodes D4-D7 ensure that control is provided over both positive and negative half-cycles of line. The longer a finger is held on touch switch, the greater is the voltage across R8 and the more current there is through load. Removing finger turns off load, which can be lamps or other electric equipment.-R. Kreuzer, Touch-Switch Controller, Wireless World, Aug. 1971, p 389.   (View)
