PLL_AS_AM_DEMODULATOR

Published:2009/7/16 2:52:00 Author:Jessie

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)

MAGNETIC_FIELD_METER_

Published:2009/7/13 6:05:00 Author:May

The meter's 12-turn field pickup is integrated into the unit's circuit board. For remote sensing, an external field coil probe can be used. The magnetic field picked up by the coil appears as a voltage, which is proportional to field strength and frequency at the input of a cascaded amplifier IC3-a, IC3-b, and IC3-c. With a first-stage amplifier gain of 3.3 set by R12 to R10, the overall sensitivity is 100 μV/μT, or 100 mV/mT. The meter sensitivity is nominally 2 V full scale, leading to the lowestlevel sensitivity of 20 mT full scale. Op amp IC3-a amplifies the signal to a normalized level of 100 μV/μT. The voltage is further amplified by 1, 100, or 10,000 by IC3-b and IC3-c. The three amplifier stages provide the ranges of 2 mT,200 μT, and 2 μT (full scale). Components R3 and C3 and R12 and C7 establish a frequency rolloff characteristic that compensates for the frequency-proportional sensitivity of the pickup coil, and set the 20-kHz cutoff point. IC3-d is a precision rectifier and peak detector. Its output drives IC1, a combination analog-to-digital (A/D) converter and LCD driver. Components R25 to R29 and C13 to C17 are used by IC1 to set display-update times, clock generation, and reference voltages. The decimal points are driven by IC2, as determined by range-select switch S2. Transistors Q1 and Q2 serve as a low-batterydetector, and turn on the battery annunciator in the LCD when the battery voltage drops below 7 V.   (View)

15_RANGE_SWEEP

Published:2009/7/13 6:03:00 Author:May

Serves for adjusting tuned circuits, aligning IF strips, and checking filter characteristics. Uses Motorola MC4024 IC containing two separate voltage-controlled MVBRs with output buffer for each. Frequency of oscillation is determined primarily by single switch-selected external capacitor that gives choice of 15 frequency ranges, with frequency within each range varied by applying DC control voltage to one pin of IC. For 3.5-5 V of control voltage, linearity is good. Output waveform is 4 V P-P at lower frequencies, becoming triangular at higher frequency ranges. HEP S9001 programmable UJT generates sweep signal. Switch gives choice of 100 Hz or 1 kHz sweep. Buffer and 741 opamp then give exponential sweep from about -1 to +1 V after DC level is set to 0 by 25K pot, for horizontal input of CRO. Sweep signal is also fed to MVBRs through controls giving independent width and center frequency adjustments. Diodes are 1-A 50-PIY silicon, T1 is 6.3 V at 1 A.-W. C.
