21_2125_MHz_with_VFO

Published:2009/7/14 3:50:00 Author:May

Developed for low-power CW work in 15-meter amateur band. Colpitts oscillator Q1 runs continuously at 10.5-10.625 MHz during transmit and receive, for good frequency stability, so VF0 frequency must be shifted away from operating frequency during receive periods. Supply is 12 V at 1.3 A. C6 is 4-53.5 pF. RFC4 is 16turns No. 28 enamel, RFC5 is 11 turns No. 22, and RFC6 is 6 turns No. 22, each on Amidon FT-50-61 core. Article covers construction and tune-up.-J. Rusgrove, A 15-Meter Goober Whistle, QST, Jan. 1976, p 16-19.   (View)

ORGAN_PEDAL_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/14 3:42:00 Author:May

Shaper V2 yields sawtooth wave with steeper flyback than from neon oscillator. Output of V2 feeds bistable mvbr V1 which changes state with each input trigger. Bistable output at V1A is half the input frequency (one octave lower), so 16-ft pedal tones are produced without low-frequency divider stage for each tone generator.-R. H.

RANDOM_NUMBER_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/14 3:30:00 Author:May

The 74574 flip-flops shown in the circuit are arranged to form a 4-bit shift register. Binary data enter the D0 input on U1-a and are sequentially shifted to each output (Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3) with each clock pulse. The data input to the shift register come from the output of U3-a, one gate of a 7486.That exclusive-OR gate compares two of the output bits from the shift register. If the two bits are the same, then the output of U3-a is 0 Y (or low). If the two bits are different, then the output of U3-a is +5 V (or high). Therefore, U3-a acts as a type of logical-feedback network that changes the data at D0, which, in turn, changes the outputs of the flip-flops. The effect of that network is to create a pseudo-random sequence of bits at the outputs of U1 and U2.   (View)

DIGITAL_BURST_GENERATOR_

Published:2009/7/14 3:25:00 Author:May

Figure 1 illustrates the transmitted signal and the continuous sine wave from which it is derived. Because the HA4600 buffer has an enable/disable feature, it will pass or reject the input waveform, depending on the state of the enable pin (Fig. 2.). The input signal also is present at the input to the HFA3046 transistor array, which has been configured as a high-speed, high-gain comparator. The comparator squares up the input signal and applies it to the inputs of the two counters, X and Y. The X counter controls the buffer enable, and it determines how many cycles of the input waveform get passed to the output. The four switches SX0 through SX3 are binary-coded. Consequently, if two switches (SX0=1 cycle and SX3=2 cycles) are closed, three cycles of the input sine wave will be passed to the output. Furthermore, the input signal is connected to the Y counter, which controls the repetition rate by determining the OFF period between pulse bursts. The four switches SY0 through SY3 are binary-coded. When all of these switches are closed, the OFF period will be 16 times the period of the input waveform. With the X and Y counters set as described earlier, the repetition rate is the reciprocal of (16+3) times the period of the incoming waveform. If a longer repetition rate is desired, a flip-flop or another counter can be added in series with the output of the Y counter to extend the OFF time. R6, R7, and R8 bias the long-tailed transistor at 10 mA, which is the optimum point for speed. R5 and R6 are small enough to discharge quickly, thus preventing saturation. Configured as shown, the circuit will handle 10-MHz input signals with little degradation. The limit on frequency response is the speed of the logic and the comparator delay time. The comparator delay time can be eliminated by one-shotting out the delay.   (View)

THREE_TONE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/14 3:10:00 Author:May

The three-tone generator makes a great warning device. It has a lot of uses; for example, if the appropriate switch is used for S1, the circuit can be used as a burglar alarm. When S1 is pressed, it turns on the circuit. The tone frequencies depend on resistor R1 and capacitors C1 through C3.Switch S2 lets you select between those capacitors. Capacitor C1 produces the highest frequency because it has the lowest capacitance, while C3 generates the lowest frequency.   (View)

RESET_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/14 2:57:00 Author:May

This VCC monitor circuit draws less than 10μA,yet it can generate reliable RESET signals. Very low quiescent current makes the reset generator shown suitable for use with microcontrollers that spend most of their time in the “sleep” mode .The system’s power Source,a charged 0.047-μF “Supercap” capacitor(C1),can go without a recharge for intervals exceeding24 hours .The allowable supply-voltage range for the reset circuit is 2 to 11 V. R1 and R2 make it possible to set the switching threshold as low as 1.2 V (the values shown provide a 4.10-V threshold). Hysteresis introduced by R3 minimizes the effect of reference noise and external EMI . Using the values gtven for R2 and R3 (1 MΩ and 10 MΩ),the switching threshold (Vt) is obtained by adjusting the value of R1 alone∶R1 (in megohms)=0.770Vt-0.910. External connections tie the internal reference voltage tothe inverting input of each comparator. Comparator A monitors the supply voltage .When this voltage dips below the threshold established by R1 and R2,the comparator output initiates a RESET pulse via D3 and discharges the timing capacitor （C3）via diode D1. Comparator B determines the pulse duration with help from the time-delay components R4 and C3.Because the duration （approximately 250 ms） is well above the 5-ms mlnlmum required in this case,the effect of supply voltage on pulse width call be ignored . D2 allows the circuit to respond to short outages by providing another quick-discharge path for the timing capacitor. Comparator C is a spare that supplies a complementary output or low-line warnlng. Comparator D acts as an active AND gate for logic-high signals from comparators A and B . The pull-up resistor in many such circuits is 100 kΩ or less (to avoid errors caused by the comparator’s input leakage). In this particular case,it would provide a path for excessive battery discharge during reset.   (View)
