Published:2009/7/6 0:50:00 Author:May

Loop-within-a-loop oscillator design ensures reliable starting without use of critical components Frequency depends on crystal, which can be anywhere in range from 1 to 20 MHz IC can be 54L00 for 1-2 MHz、standard 54H00 for 2-6 MHz, and 54H00 or 54S00 for 6-20 MHz. Temperature stability is adequate for crystal clocks and other digital-system applications.-J. E.

LOW_DRIFT_7_MHz_VFO

Published:2009/7/6 0:48:00 Author:May

Low-drift solid-state design for 40-meter band has maximum change of only 25 Hz from cold start to full warm-up at 25℃. After stabilization, maximum hunting is 5 Hz. Drift is minimized by paralleling two or more capacitors in critical parts of circuit. Series-tuned Colpitts oscillator is followed by two buffer stages, with second providing enough amplification for practical amateur work while further improving isolation of oscillator. Low-impedance output network minimizes oscillator pulling from load changes. Article stresses importance of choosing and using components that minimize drift.-D. DeMaw, VFO Design Techniques for Improved Stability, Ham Radio, June 1976, p 10-17.   (View)

IC_CRYSTAL

Published:2009/7/6 0:45:00 Author:May

Uses LM375 IC with crystals from 3 to 20 MHz in parallel mode. Will oscillate with only 4-V supply, but output voltage increases with supply voltage, L1 -C1 is resonant at crystal frequency. Adjust L1 only for maximum output, not for trimming frequency. If C3 is 3-30 pF, it can be used to adjust frequency of crystal.-R.

9_MHz_LINEAR_VCO

Published:2009/7/6 0:43:00 Author:May

U1A and U1C of RCA CA3046 transistor array form emitter-coupled oscillator. Portion of U1A current is diverted through U1B and L1, producing magnetic flux that reduces effective inductance of resonating coil L2. Output frequency is varied in direct pro portion to voltage applied at A. L1 is 23 turns on 3/4-inch Teflon form 2 inches long, with 4 turns wound between windings for L2. VR1 is 1N3828 6.2-V zener. Circuit must be well grounded and shielded to avoid hum pickup by input, which could modulate output.-D. G. Stephenson, A Second Look at Linear Tuning, OST, March 1977, p 40-41.   (View)

Motorola MC1553 video amplifier provides wide band-width and output swing capability needed for high-frequency master clock or local oscillator in many system designs. Positive feedback is injected through crystal to input pin 1. Output is taken from pin 7 which is buffered internally from oscillator by gain and emitter-follower stages. Brute-force pi filter at output extracts desired fundamental frequency.- A Wide Band Monolithic Video Amplifier, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1973, AN-404 , p 9.   (View)

Variable-frequency crystal oscillator plus buffer, using Signetics N7404A hex inverter or equivalent, covers 2-20 MHz. Only three inverters are used, two forming oscillator and one as output buffer. VCC is +5 V. Crystals can operate at fundamental, third, or fifth over-tone. Frequency-limiting capacitor Cp can be 15 pF. Only higher-frequency crystals can be moved useful amounts without creating instability problems. Article gives design equations and tables showing frequencies obtained with various crystals for various values of frequency controls CV (0-100 pF) and LV (0-17 μH).-B.

Recmmended for VHF/UHF converters. Output is 5 to 15 mW. Crystal should be high-quality fifth- or seventh-over-tone type. Ferrite bead FB prevents undesired oscillation above 500 MHz. For best stability, allow crystal to operate at its natural series-resonant frequency and use regulated power supply.-J. Reisert, VHF/UHF Techniques, Ham Radio, March 1976, p 44-48.   (View)

150_500_kHz_CRYSTAL

Published:2009/7/6 0:35:00 Author:May

Circuit is series-mode if C1 is 0.01 μF. Parallel-mode crystals can be used if C1 is equal to specified load capacitance (30, 50, or 100 pF) for crystal. Harmonic output is usually better than -30 dB. Circuit is particularly good for crystals prone to oscillate undesirably at twice fundamental frequency. L1 is 800-2000 μH for 150-300 kHz, and 360-1000 μH for 300-500 kHz. Adjusting slug in L1 pulls crystal frequency. Q1 is 2N3563, 2N3564, 2N3693, BC107, BC547, or SE1010.-R.

CODE_PRACTICE_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/5 22:59:00 Author:May

The inexpensive 7404 hex-inverter has enough amplification to handle a wide range of transducers. Closing the key completes the battery circuit and applies four to five volts to the 7404. Bias for the first two inverter amps (U1a and U1b) comes from the two resistors, R1 and R2, connected between their inputs and outputs. The capacitor and rheostat (R3/C1) close the feedback loop from the input to the properly-phased output. The signal leaving Ulb drives the remaining four inverter amplifiers, U1c through U1f; they, in turn, drive the phones or speakers. The volume control potentiometers, R4-R7, may have any value front 1500 ohms to 10,000 ohms. The smaller values work best when speakers, or low impedance phones, are used.   (View)

The Colpitts sinusoidal oscillator provides stable output amplitude and frequency from 0°F to +150°F. In addition, output amplitude is large and harmonic distortion is low. Oscillation is sustained by feedback from the collector tank circuit to the emitter. The oscillator's frequency is determined by: Potentiometer R3 is an output level control. Control R1 may be used to adjust base bias for maximum-amplitude output. The circuit was operated at 50 kHz with L1 = 10mH, C1 = 3500 pF, and C2 1500 pF.   (View)
