Uses LM301A opamp with 1N825 6.2-V zener reference diode (not zener regulator diode) to maintain stable DC voltage under severe combinations of temperature, shock, and vibration. Gain resistors R2 and R3 should have same 0.01%/℃ temperature coefficients as reference diode. R1 is RN55 511-ohm metal-film resistor, R2 is RN55E 6.04K metal-film resistor, and R3 is RN55E 3.57K metal-film resistor. R4 and R5 are gain trim resistors. R6 should equal parallel combination of R2 and R5. R8 is 10K cermet pot. with R7 (optional) 100K to 1 megohm. Article tells how to trim circuit for desired out-put and how to calculate values of resistors and temperature coefficients for other output volt-ages.-D. W.

Zener 6.8-v diode shunts output while feedback diodes limit input. With input below 40 mv, output is below -5 v and diodes D1, D2, and D3 are biased off. When output exceeds -6.8 v, diodes act to damp output at -6.8 v und maintain linear voltage relationships within the amplifier, preventing its saturation and allowing recovery from overloads.-J. V.

The design presented here is a single +9-V, battery-operated, bidirectional active load that can sink and source current. This is a low-power design, consuming only about 140μA. The power MOSFET selected (IRF530 N-channel and IRF9530 P-channel), after derating, accepts a maximum load of ±50V at ±5 A. The key to the design is having two different sets of voltage levels at Vx ,VY, and VSS1. One set is for current-sinking test, while the other is for current-sourcing test. (View)

Uses Fairchild FMT4575 transistor having 1.25-dB noise figure, equaling performance of best paramps at 432 MHz. Input matching circuit is low-loss low-Q L matching section L1-CR1. Value of blocking capacitor C1 is not critical, but should be low-loss high-Q type, Hot-carrier diode CR1 in matching section adds about 0.75 pF to circuit, and serves also as low-loss limiter that protects transistor from excessive RF. Zener-diode biasing permits direct grounding of emitter, is insensitive to transistor current gain, provides some DC protection to transistor, and requires no adjustments.-J. H.
