This circuit uses an NE602 as a product detector. The component values depend on operating frequency and are typical for 455-kHz operation. Note that a passive RC filter is showtt in the audio output circuit. T2 acts as an oscillator coil for the 455-kHz local oscillator (or, in this case, beat frequency oscillator). (View)

Uses two-pole chopper with capacitor connected between the two reeds. During half of chopper cycle, capacitor is charged to voltage difference between outputs of two signal-processing channels. During other half-cycle, charge is transferred to integrator circuit and positive side of capacitor is clomped to ground by one of the two diodes. Integrator is chopper-stabilized d-c amplifier with capacitive feedback, having gain of 200 and integration time constant of 1.5 hours.-H.

The full circuit diagram for the RTTY tone decoder is shown. The input filter is based on IC1a, and it is a third-order (18 dB per octave) high-pass type with a cutoff frequency at approximately 750 Hz. IC1b is used in the higher-frequency bandpass filter. Capacitor C8 couples the output of this filter to a conventional half-wave rectifier and smoothing network based on diodes D1 and D2. The time constant of R7 and C9 is long enough to give a well-smoothed output signal, but short enough to permit the unit to respond rapidly as the input signal alternates between one tone and the other. The second bandpass filter is based on IC2a and is essentially the same as the first, but it has a preset resistor (VR1) as one section of the input attenuator. This enables the center frequency of the filter to be adjusted, but (in operation) it is set 170 Hz lower than the center frequency of the other filter. If preferred, preset potentiometer VR1 can be set to give a center frequency 170 Hz higher than the other filter. It can also be set for shifts of other than 170 Hz.The output of IC2a (pin 1) feeds into a rectifier and smoothing circuit that is identical to the one used at the output of the other filter.The outputs of both the smoothing circuits drive the inputs of IC2b, which acts as the voltage comparator. A small amount of dc positive feedback is provided by resistor R11, and this helps to avoid problems with jitter at the output when only background noise is present at the input. Power is obtained from two of the otherwise unused handshake outputs of the PC's serial port. Diodes D5 to D8 form a bridge rectifier that ensures that the circuit is always provided with a supply of the correct polarity. Only a milliampere or two can be drawn from the handshake outputs. Accordingly, IC1 and IC2 must be low-supply-current operational amplifiers. (View)

Used in some large high-speed computers to transmit pulses from central unit over long distances as d-c levels, then convert back to pulse forms. To convert level back to pulse, transistor switch is fumed off by positive-going wave front energizing ringing circuit. Input triggering of ringing stage is accomplished when definite threshold level is exceeded.-Pulse Generator for High-Speed Computers, Electronic Circuit Design Handbook, Mactier Pub.

Transistor Q1 acts as a constant-current generator, charging capacitor C1 at a rate determined by the value of R1. The high input impedance of U1b ensures that the constant-current generator is not excessively loaded and forwards the voltage level of C1 to U1c. U1c is configured as a comparator, and output pin 8 goes low when pin 9 rises above 9 V. This switching action applies a trigger pulse via capacitor C2 to activate the monostable multivibrator, U2. The resulting high pulse from pin 3 of U2 provides a discharge path for capacitor C1 through turned-on transistor Q2. A continuous sweep ramp with reset is produced at pin 7 of Ulb at a rate determined by RIC1 (approximately 75 Hz). The swept oscillator section consistsof a dual-gate MOSFET transistor in a Colpitts configuration, followed by a buffer amplifier that provides the RF from the selected frequency range to an output amplifier and short antenna. As the output sawtooth waveform from U2, pin 7, is applied to the varactor, the capacitance of the tank circuit decreases from approximately 62 pF at the low end of the ramp to a very low value at the maximum sweep level of about 9.2 V. The on-off switching action of the sweep waveform modulates the generated RF to produce an obnoxious buzz, which is easy to differentiate from other low-level signals at the selected receiver frequency when adjusting the tuner or antenna.

The circuit shown produces a ramp that can be used to modulate the threshold of another 555 timer, which is configured to generate the pulse signal to drive the R/C servo. In this way, the servo can be slowly moved through a desired angle. Note that for long time constants, R6 and R7 will be large. Therefore, C2 should be a low-leakage capacitor, or a CMOS timer (7555) can be used to permit larger resistances and smaller capacitors to be used. (View)
