Accurate low-power wattmeter uses small lamps as barretters for measuring RF power up to 10mW from 1 to 500MHz. Applications indude measurements of antenna gain, local oscillator frequency, VSWR, and filter response. Subminiature T-3/4 RF sensor lamps operate in bridge circuit with R1, B2, and R3. Voltage difference between bridge legs is amplified by opamp U1. Bridge current driver Q1 supplies current for balancing bridge. Equilibrium voltage of 3.5 V at VB is fed to metering circuit including U2. Article covers calculation of values for calibration resistors R4-R10, which range from 5.715 to 7192 ohms.-J. H.

Developed for use with CDE TR-44 antenna control using low-voltage AC motor having pot for bearing indication. Circuit eliminates need for holding control handle in position until antenna reaches desired bearing. Uses 12-VDC 1000-ohm 1-A relays, TISN7274IL opamp U1, and wirewound 360° rotation command pot R7 operating from 14-V regulated supply of original control. When R7 is set to desired new heading, relay applies power to motor for proper direction, and drops out when antenna reaches desired heading. One relay is used for each direction of rotation.Opamp is connected in differential-input mode that responds only to difference voltage between wipers of pots R7 and R8. Polarity of oparnpoutput dependson polarity of input voltage difference. CR3 and CR4 energize K1 or K2 depending on polarity of error signal. R9 and R3 serve to balance voltage difference remaining when R7 and fi8 are at travel limits. R9 also nulls offset present when there is no input to U1. Ac-curacy is about 5°. Diodes are 100-PIV 0.5-A silicon.-K. H. Sucker, Automating the TR-44 An-tenna Rotor, QST, June 1973, p 28-30. (View)

This circuit can deliver 3 A or more and a maximum dc voltage of a little over 20 V. It is designed around the readily available LM317T adjustable 3-terminal regulator and has a pnp power transistor to boost the current output.
The transformer has an 18-V secondary rated at 6 A; this feeds to bridge rectifier and two 4700-μF capacitors to yield around 25 Vdc. This voltage is fed to the emitter of the MJ2955 transistor and to the input of the LM317 via a 33-Ω resistor. (View)

Voltage developed across Smeter is amplified by 741 opamp having gain of 40 dB so full.scale voltage of 100mV becomes 10V at opamp outptit. This drives modulation input of 555 timer connected as freerunning oscillator. Nominal 1-kHz output increases in frequency as drive current is reduced; conversely, drop in frequency corresponds to stronger signal at S-meter. Developed for use as audible guide when tuning Yagi and other beam antennas for amateur radio operation.-G.Hinkle, Closed Loop Antenna Tuning, 73 Magazine, May 1976, p 32-33. (View)

This 0- to 12-Vdc variable power supply uses an IC voltage regulator and a heavy-duty trans-former to provide a reliable dc power supply. Looking at the schematic shown, you can see that transformer T1 has a 120-V primary and a 28-V secondary.
Filtered dc is fed to the input (pin 2) ofthe LM317T voltage regulator, IC, which keeps the volt-age at its output constant (pin 3) regardless (within limitations) of the input voltage. Pin 1 of the LM317T is the adjustment pin. Varying the voltage on pin 1 (via P1) varies the output voltage.
Diodes D5 through D7 and LEDs L1 through L3 give an approximate indication of the output voltage. Each LED/diode path has a limiting resistor to limit the current to a level that is safe for the LED. (View)

This regulated power supply consists of step-down transformer T1, a full-wave rectifier bridge (D1 through D4), and a filtering regulator circuit made up of C1, C2, R1, R2, R3, D5, and Q1. When 120 Vac is provided, the neon-lamp assembly L1 lights up, and transformer T1 changes 120 Vac to about 28 Vac. The rectifier bridge, D1 through D4, rectifies the ac into pulsating dc, which is then fil-tered by C1. Capacitor C1 acts as a storage capacitor. Zener diode D5 keeps the voltage constant across the base of Darlington regulator Q1, causing constant voltage across resistor R3 and the (+) and (-) output terminals, where the load is connected. Fuse F2 is used to open ( blow ), if the cur-rent through the output terminals is too high. Make sure to take proper precautions when using projects powered by 120 Vac. (View)
