Circuit is essentially balanced bridge, with carrier injected by Q1. Balance is maintained by balance control and by bias adjustment on VI. Modulation is achieved by unbalancing bridge in accordance with low-frequency in.put signal, using phase inverter Q2 to make both tubes unbalance bridge in same direction.-J.

The swept-frequency oscillator offers an inexpensive source of discrete frequencies for use in testing digital circuits. In this configuration, the circuit generates an 80-second sequence of eight frequencies, dwelling for 10 seconds on each frequency. You can change the dwell time or the number of frequencies.Frequencies can range from 0.005 Hz to 1 MHz.
The programmable crystal oscillators, PXOs, IC2 and IC4 can each generate 57 frequencies in response to an 8-bit external code. IC2 contains a 1-MHz crystal and produces a 0.05-Hz output. IC4 contains a 600-kHz crystal; its output changes in response to the combined outputs of the 12-stage binary counter IC3 (Q1 and Q2) and the PXO IC2.
To generate more frequencies, you can use one or more of IC3's outputs, (Q3, Q4, Q5) to drive one or more of IC4's inputs (P4, P5, P6). Similarly, you can rewire IC2 or drive it with other logic to control the duration of each frequency. IC1, a monostable multivibrator, provides a system reset. It initiates the sequence shown, beginning at 60 Hz, in response to a positive pulse. (View)

When frequency stability is not of prime importance, a simple, yet retable, digital clock oscillator can be made with the aid of relatively few components. High-speed CMOS (HCU/HCT) inverters or gates with an inverter function are eminently suitable to make such oscillators, thanks to their low power con-sumption, good output signal definition, and extensive frequency range.
The circuit as shown uses two inverters in a 74HCT04 or 74HCU04. The basic design equations are:
With RS and R calculated for a given frequency and value of C, both resistors can be realized as presets to enable precise setting of the output frequency and the duty factor. Do not forget, however, to fit small series resistors in series with the presets, in observance of the minimum values for R and RS as given in the design equations. The values quoted for IC are only valid if the inputs of the remaining gates are g fillnded.

When power is connected to the circuit, C1 charges through R1 and R3. When the voltage reaches the UJT gate's (G) threshold voltage (usually around 0.5 to 0.8 of the supply voltage), the dynamic resistance between B2 and B1 drops to a very low value. Capacitor C1 then discharges through the emitter-base junction and the 8-Ω speaker. The frequency of the UJT oscillator is determined by the values of C1, R1, and R3. (View)

The oscillator's operating frequency is determined by the values of L1 and C3. The feedback level is determined by the location of the tap on L1, which normally will be about one-fifth to one-fourth of the total turns. As an example, the Hartley oscillator will operate in the 5-MHz range with the following LC values: L1 is 20 turns of 18 enameled copper wire close wound on a 1-inch plastic form with a tap up five turns from the bottom. Capacitor C3 can be any small variable capacitor with a maximum capacitance value of 100 pF. With the proper LC values, the Hartley oscillator can operate from audio to UHF. (View)

This voltage-tuned JFET Hartley oscillator can be made to sweep its entire frequency range by applying a sawtooth waveform that rises from 0 to 12 V to the Vt input. In this circuit, a varactor is used for the tuning element instead of an air-core inductor. The frequency range is around 5 MHz. (View)

A Wien-bridge oscillator can be made variable by using two frequency-determining parts that are var-ied simultaneously at high tracking accuracy. High-quality tracking potentiometers or variable capacitors are, however, expensive and difficult to obtain. To avoid having to use such a component, this oscillator was designed to operate with a single potentiometer. The output frequency, f0,is calculated from:
With preset P2 you can adjust the overall amplification so that the output signal has a easonably stable amplitude, 3.5 VPP max., over the entire frequency range. The stated components allow the frequency to be adjusted between 350 Hz and 3.5 kHz. (View)

This simple Hartley JFET oscillator has a built-in zener-diode regulator to condition the power-supply voltage down to 9.1 V. L1 depends on the desired frequency. Typical values are C1=5 to 50pF variable, C2=100 pF plus a 3-to 30-pF trimmer, and L1=14μH (for 3.5 MHz). L1 should be mechanically rigid, should have an air core (do not use ferrite cores because of drift effects), and should have Q ≥ 200 for best stability. The tap will be typically 10 to 25 percent of the total turns. (View)
