Three-part article gives all circuits and describes their operation in detail. Heart of oscillator is triangle and square-wave generator built around IC Schmitt trigger. Ramp rate and operating frequency are varied by changing drive voltage or gain of integrator. Similar VCO in synthesizer also produces sine, pulse, and ramp waveforms.-T. Orr and D. W.

Meter indicates gate current, which drops whenever resonant load is placed on tank circuit of oscillator by bringing plug-in input coil near frequency source being checked. By opening switch to power supply, circuit can be used as absorption wavemeter; when signal at resonant frequency of dip-meter tank circuit is picked up, gatesource circuit of FET operates as diode detector for producing increase in meter reading. Values of plug-in coil and tuning capacitor depend on frequency range of interest.-E. M. Noll, FET Principles, Experiments, and Projects, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 2nd Ed., 1975, p 213-214.

Millen 90652 solidstate grid-dip oscillator uses MOSFET operating in split-Colpitts circuit with resonating tank connected between drain and gate. Circuit is tuned by split-stator variable capacitor with rotorgrounded, chosen to cover 1.7 to 300 MHz with seven plug-in coils. Oscillator also functions as Q multiplier that increases sensitivity.RF voltage across tuned circuit is indicated by meter whose reading dips for resonance with coupled test circuit. Full-wave rectifier CR1-CR2 provides DC voltage for meter and some overload protection for MOSFET. Meter is suppressed-zero type, with readings only for upper portion of current range. J3 is provided for use with low-frequency coils.-W. M. Scherer,CQ Reviews: The Millen Model 90652 Solid-State Dipper, CQ, Sept. 1971, p 63-64, 66, and 96. (View)

High input impedance of FET makes performance comparable to that of tube-type grid-dip oscillator. Six plug-in coils are wound on Millen 45004 1-inch 4-pin forms or equivalent. Use 150 turns No. 32 enamelfor 1.1-2.5 MHz, 77 turns No. 28 for 2.5-5 MHz, 35 turns No. 22 for 5-11 MHz, 17 turns No. 22 spaced to 1 inch for 10-25 MHz, 8.5 turns No. 22 spaced to 1 inch for 20-45 MHz and 4.5 tums No. 22 spaced to 1 inch for 40-95 MHz. Adjust R1 to set meter pointer to desired portion of scale before tuning for dip. R1 provides some control of volume when using headphones.-R.P. Turner, FET Circuits, Howard W.

With the component values shown, the oscillator has a frequency of 8 kHz. When an input signal is applied to the base of Q1 the current flowing through Q1 is varied, thus varying the time required to charge C1. Due to the phase inversion in Q1 the direction of output frequency change is 180 degrees out of phase with the input signal. The output may be used to trigger a bistable flip-flop. (View)

The circuit is powered by a single 1.35 V mercury cell and provides a 1 V squarewave output. As shown, the crystal is a tuned circuit between transistors Q1 and Q2, which are connected in the common-emitter configuration. Positive feedback provided by means of R permits oscillation. The signal at the collector of Q2 is squared by Q3, which switches between cutoff and saturation. R7 permits short-circuit-proof operation. (View)

A high speed oscillator is possible by combining an MECL 10 K crystal oscillator with an MECL III frequency doubler as shown. One section of the MC10101 is connected as a 100 MHz crystal oscillator with the crystal in series with the feedback loop. The LC tank circuit tunes the 100 MHz harmonic of the crystal and may be used to calibrate the circuit to the exact frequency. A second section of the MC10101 buffers the crystal oscillator and gives complementary 100 MHz signals. The frequency doubler consists of two MC10101 gates as phase shifters and two MC1662 NOR gates. For a 50% duty cycle at the output, the delay to the true and complement 100 MHz signals should be 90°. This may be built precisely with 2.5 ns delay lines for the 200 MHz output or approximated by the two MC10101 gates. The gates are easier to incorporate and cause only a slight skew in output signal duty cycle. The MC1662 gates combine the 4 phase 100 MHz signals as shown in Figure B. The outputs of the MC1662's are wire-OR connected to give the 200 MHz signal. MECL III gates are used because of the bandwidth required for 200 MHz signals. One of the remaining MC1662 gates is used as a Vgg bias generator for the oscillator. By connecting the NOR output to the input, the circuit stays in the center of the logic swing or at VBB. A 0.001 μF capacitor ensures the VBB circuit does not oscillate. (View)
