FM_HISS_LIMITER

Published:2009/7/13 5:59:00 Author:May

Uses low-pass filter to remove noise sometimes heard with weak passages during stereo reception of FM stations. FET driven by output of amplifier or tuner is used to switch low-pass filter into operation rather than switching over to mono. Based on fact that the hiss is an antiphase effect that can be removed with little detriment to overall signal.-G. Hibbert, Stereo Noise Limiter Improvement, Wireless World, March 1976, p 62.   (View)

INTEGRATING_CURRENT_METER_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/16 2:50:00 Author:Jessie

The current in the line produces a dc drop across the shunt, which feeds an integrator. When the integrator output reaches the level required to activate the Schmitt trigger, the 0.01-μF capacitor that is used in the integrator is discharged and a pulse is produced at the output of the Schmitt trigger (7414). A digital counter counts these pulses, and the counter reading is proportional to the product of current flow and time.   (View)

VOLTAGE_TO_FREQUENCY_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/13 5:51:00 Author:May

Q4 supplies charging current for C in relaxation oscillator Q5. Differential amplifier Q1-Q2 compares charging current with input voltage. Difference signal, amplified by Q3, controls charging current through Q4 and thus makes output frequency proportional to input voltage. For 0 to +5V input, output is 0 to 100 cps with 0.1% linearity.-W. H. Voelker, Transistor Circuit Converts Voltage to Regulated Frequency, Electronics, 37:29, p73-74.   (View)

PLL_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/16 2:48:00 Author:Jessie

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)

PICOAMPERE_MEASURER

Published:2009/7/16 2:48:00 Author:Jessie

Many times, the need arises to measure current below 1 μA. The circuit shown turns any voltmeter into a picoammeter with scales of 1 μA/V and 1 μA/V. With a 3 1/2-digit voltmeter with a resolution of 1 mV, the readout will be in picoamperes or nanoamperes. In addition, it can be attached to an oscilloscope. The frequency response is about 1 kHz for the 1 μA/V setting and 150 Hz for 1 μA/V.U1B forms a transimpedance amplifier. With S1 in the position shown, the transimpedance is 1MΩ.In the other position, a gain of 1000 is added, to make the total transimpedance 1GΩ. R1, C1, D1, and D2 protect the input from high voltages, and R5 isolates the op amp's output from any load capacitance. The op amp's input current and voltage offset must be low for this circuit to work. In this case, a Linear Technology LTC1047 was used. It has a nominal input bias current of ±5 pA and a V0S of ±3μV at room temperature. U1A is used to split the 9-V battery into positive and negative supplies. The total current is essentially the supply current of the op amps. For the prototype, the total current measured for the LTC1047 was <100 μA, so a standard 9-V battery should last six months if you forget to turn it off.   (View)
