FET_REGENERATIVE_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/15 22:56:00 Author:Jessie

With 30-50 foot antenna wire, circuit gives sufficient volume for driving headphones connected to secondary of Lafayette AR-104 or equivalent audio driver transformer T2, for reception of broadcast stations when tuned over AM broadcast band with C2. Feedback control R2 is backed off slightly from point of oscillation, for maximum sensitivity in removing modulation from incoming carrier. When used for CW reception, circuit is left in oscillation and audible difference frequency is produced in output corresponding to marks and spaces. T1 is Miller 2004 or equivalent antenna transformer.-E. M. Noll, FET Principles, Experiments, and Projects, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 2nd Ed., 1975, p 235-237.   (View)

MAX038_FUNCTION_GENERATOR_1

Published:2009/7/14 1:11:00 Author:May

To adjust the frequency digitally, connect a voltage-output DAC to ⅡN via a series resistor, as shown. The converter output ranges from 0 V at zero to 2.5(255/256) V at full scale. Current injected by the converter into ⅡN, therefore, ranges from 0 to 748 μA. The 2.5-V reference and 1.2-Ω resistor inject a constant 2μA, so (by superposition) the net current into ⅡN ranges from 2 μA (at a code of 00000000) to 750μA (at 1111 1111). The quad DAC IC operates from 5 V or ±5 V. As described below, it can also provide digital control of FADJ and DADJ. For fine adjustments (±70 percent), apply a control voltage in the range ±2.3 V to the frequency adjust (FADJ) terminal. Both FADJ and ⅡN have wide bandwidths that allow the output frequency to be modulated at a maximum rate of about 2 MHz. As the more linear input, ⅡN is preferred for open-loop frequency use in a phase-locked loop. For digital control of FADJ, conftgure a DAC and external op amp (as shown in the figure) to produce an output ranging from -2.3 V (00000000) to 2.3 V (1111 1111).   (View)

SIREN_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/13 23:18:00 Author:May

An adaptable siren generator circuit with a multitude of uses is shown. It is based around a 556 twin-timer chip, IC1. An audio tone is created by one timer section and is directly coupled to the driver transistor, TR1. The other half of the timer is used to modulate the frequency of the audio tone using the CONTROL VOLTAGE pin terminal of the audio-oscillator section, pin 11. If capacitor C2 is omitted from the circuit, a twin-tone alarm generator will be created. However, with C2 in place as shown, a wailing tone is produced. Capacitor C1 governs the rate of tone change and LED D1 flashes for extra effect. A waterproof Mylar-coned 8-Ω loudspeaker was used for LS1, and the volume can be adjusted for different impedances by altering the value of resistor R5. The circuit operates from approximately a 9-V rail.   (View)
