50_54_MHz_RF_AGC_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/6/30 22:20:00 Author:May

Developed for 6-roeter SSB transceiver to give minimum of 15-dB power gain, low noise figure, and good signal-handling capability when AGC is applied.AGC control resembles bipolar cascode drcuit using differential pair with current source, although operation does not involve changing amplifier bias Ievel. With increasing AGC voltage, a3 begins to turn on, shunting more and more signal cument away from 02 and thereby decreasing stage gain. Input transformer is wound on small toroid core. Range of AGO volt-age is 0-1.2 V.-A. Borsa, High-Performance BF-AGC Amplifier, Ham Radio, Sept. 1978, p 64-66.   (View)

HANG_AGC

Published:2009/6/30 22:16:00 Author:May

Provides very fast attack time with no AGC pop. Diodesare 1N914. When voltage across R10-08 decays below that across R9-C7, 03 conducts and clamps AGO bus to ground.AGO threshold is determined by value of RT, between 100K and 470K. AGC line must have high impedance, as with FET IF system. With l0 or bipolar IF amplifier, use low-impedance driver.T1 is audio transformer with 10K primary and 2K secondary (Radio Shack 273-1378).-D.

AGC_WITH_CMOS_LOGIC

Published:2009/6/30 22:14:00 Author:May

First stage U2, using CD4007AE, is wired as two-line demultiplexer with only one output acting as transmission gate. Gain is lower in first stage to reduce noise. U1 is used as three-stage high-gain audio amplifier in which first two stages have low-pass filtering for stability. AGO voltage, developed from audio output, is fed back to U, to turn transmission gate off when gain must be reduced. Audio output is about 2.5 V P-P for inputs of 2 mV and greater.-K. H.

Published:2009/6/30 22:13:00 Author:May

Used in 1.8-2 MHz communication receiver having wide dynamic range. R3 serves as manual IF gain control. R2 provides gain variation from 6 to 40 dB for AGO amplifier. Delay is about 1 s. Input is taken from primary of transformer that drives product detector of receiver, and AGC output goes to CA3028A IF opamp. Two-part article gives all other circuits of receiver.-D.

AUDIBLE_S_METER

Published:2009/6/30 22:12:00 Author:May

When connected to repeater circuit generates tone burst 3 s after input signal has dropped out, with duration of 60 ms. Pitch of tone varies inversely with signal strength; highest pitch of 3500 Hz thus represents weak signal, and 350-Hz pitch corresponds to strongest input signal. Can be used to check performance of transmitters and antennas using that repeater. Repeater receiver must havesmeter, as in RCA CA3089E receiver, output of which can be fed to terminal A of circuit. Switch changes output from S-meter to audible encoder. Input B goes to squelch, C goes to +12 V source that is on when receiver is on, and D provides tone output for feed to audio amplifier and loudspeaker. Unlabeled transistors can be any medium-gain small-signal NPN and PNP silicon, comparable to European BC107 and BC177.-F.

Basic_digital_D_A_converter

Published:2009/7/24 9:22:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows the classic DAC/op-amp combination that produces a digital D/A converter. VOUT is selected, in steps, by the binary signals at the digital input of DAC-10, with the highest VOUT set by VREF at pin 16. VREF is supplied by REF-01 (Fig.4-1). With the circuit assembled using the values shown (0.01 μF is typical for CC), apply binary inputs (typically -VS to -VS plus 36 V) at pins 5 through 14, stating with all zeros (or all 1s). Notice that VOUT varies (in steps) between 0 and a typical 9.9 V. Record actual values. Raytheon Linear Integrated Circuits, 1989, p. 495.   (View)
