Single phase-locked loop IC provides audio output signal when connected to suitable antenna for broadcast band. Demodulation is achieved without use of input tuned circuits because control oscillator of PLL is locked to frequency of incoming carrier. IC is tuned over broadcast band by changing frequency of internal VCO with external variable capacitor 04. By changing capacitor limits, circuit can be used to cover long-wave and shortwave bands.-E. M. Noll, Linear IC Principles, Experiments, and Projects, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1974, p 303-305. (View)

Combination of grounded-gate and grounded-source connections uses bridge arrangement for neutralizing feedback capacitance between gate and drain.Input impedance is transformed in parallel between gate and ground to provide necessary wideband characteristic. Noise figure is between 1 and 2 dB, with gain of about 15 dB. Circuit is unconditionally stable, and combines optimum matching for best noise, lowest input SWR, and high power gain.-U. Rohde, High Dynamic Range Two-Meter Converter, Ham Radio, July 1977, p 55-57. (View)

Developed for use with BFO multiplexor in 455-kHz multimode detection system using NE561 phase-locked loop IC. Circuit provides required 90° phase-shift network in series with output of BFO multiplexor, to compensate for lockup of NE561 in quadrature with signal at input of phase detector during AM reception. IF input level to NE561 should be below about 100 mVRMS for minimum distortion. Audio output level will then be at least half that for narrow-band FM, about same for SSB and CW, and about double for AM if both sidebands are passed by IF filters. FM audio output level is proportional to percent deviation and cannot be increased by increasing signal level. Two 0.004-μF capacitors limit audio bandwidth to about 4 kHz. VCO output of NE561 is 0.6 V P-P square wave at AM carrier or BFO frequency.-J. Regula, BFO Multiplexor for a Multimode Detector, Ham Radio, Oct. 1975, p 52-55. (View)
