IMPEDANCE_METER

Published:2009/7/11 4:19:00 Author:May

External AF voltage is applied to unknown impedance through input transformer T1 and calibrated variable resistor R1. Voltage drops across impedance and R1 are checked separately with electronic voltmeter while R1 is varied. When drops are equal, unknown impedance is equal to setting of R1, read directly from its calibrated dial. Voltmeter uses FET followed by two-diode rectifier X1-X2 and microammeter M1. With S2 in position A, volt-meter reads drop across R1 ; in position B, volt-meter reads drop across unknown impedance.Adjust R5 so meter deflection is near full scale to increase comparison accuracy. Common test frequencies used are 400, 500, and 1000 Hz.-R. P. Turner, FET Circuits, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, 2nd Ed., p 143-144.   (View)

CAPACITOR_STORAGE_FEEDBACK_BOXCAR

Published:2009/7/11 4:17:00 Author:May

Improves accuracy of radar boxcar without sacrifice in speed, by using feedback principles to overcome instabilities in d-c offset voltages. Feedback forces boxcar output to equal input voltage during sampling, so intemal d-c offsets and instabilities Ionger than one storage interval are inconsequential. Box-car input goes to one terminal of difference amplifier, and boxcar output goes to other terminctl. Difference amplifer output is then used to control capacitor charge. By gating on difference ampliler during sampling interval, boxcctr output is made equcd to value of waveform at that time.-P. E. Harris and B. E. Simmons, DC Accuracy in a Fast Boxcar Circuit Via a Comparator, IEEE Transactions on Electronic Computers, June 1964, p 285-288.   (View)

IMPROVED_REGENERATIVE_SW_RECEIVER

Published:2009/7/17 3:00:00 Author:Jessie

The figure shows the schematic of the circuit. A number of unique features give this design its trouble-free performance. The tendency for regenerative receivers to radiate oscillator-frequency signals is eliminated here by placing a transistor buffer Q1 between the antenna preselector circuit L1-C1a and the regenerative oscillator-tuned circuit L2-C1b. This buffer also nearly eliminates hand-capacitance effects. This design is also unique in that it uses an IC for the regenerative detector. U1, an LM1496 double-balanced mixer, is used here in a somewhat unorthodox manner. The differential SIGNAL INPUT amplifier transistors internal to the IC are used as a Hartley oscillator in conjunction with L2 and C1b. The regenerative feedback for this oscillator is supplied by the output of the GAIN and ADJUST pins of the LM1496. Some of the oscillator output is coupled to one of the CARRIER IN-PUT pins via C9, which allows the mixer section of U1 to act as an asynchronous detector, greatly improving the RE detection sensitivity over that of other regenerative circuits. The regeneration level is controlled by the voltage level applied to the BIAS pin of U1. The circuit containing R12 and transistor Q2 is used as a variable-voltage source, providing the regeneration level immunity from supply-voltage ripple. This bias level controls the quiescent current level through the SIGNAL IN-PUT amplifier transistors, which, in turn, determines the emitter output impedance of these transistors, controlling the amount of power delivered to the feedback winding of L2. This results in very smooth and predictable regeneration control. The outputs of U1 are coupled through audio trans-former T1 into the first section of U2, an LM324 op amp. Volume control is achieved though U2d and variable resistor R18. Using a push-pull audio output stage, as is done here, also reduces susceptibility to audio oscillation. Although the use of switched or plug-in coils could have allowed multiband reception, in the interest of simplicity, this was not done. However, the values of L1 and L2 allow coverage of 5 to 15 MHz, where much of the shortwave action occurs.   (View)

AGC_amplifier

Published:2009/7/17 3:00:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit uses one section of an XR-13600 (Fig. 11-1B) as an AGC amplifier. When VO reaches a high enough amplitude to turn the Darlington transistors and linearizing diodes, the increase in ID reduces amplifier gain so as to hold VO at that level. The control point is set by RC and the output offset is adjusted by the 1 -kΩ potentiometer.   (View)

SWITCH_MODE_VOLTAGE_REGULATOR

Published:2009/7/17 2:59:00 Author:Jessie

Switch-mode power supplies offer the benefit of a much greater efficiency than obtainable with a tradi-tional power supply. The switch-mode regulator presented here has an efficiency of around 85%. An input voltage of 12 to 16 Vdc is convened into a direct voltage of exactly 5 V. The use of a MAX638CPA enables the design and construction of the regulator to be kept fairly simple: only nine additional components are needed to complete the circuit. Resistors R1 and R2 are used to indicate when the battery voltage becomes low: as soon as the voltage on pin 3 becomes lower than 1.3 V, D1 lights. With values as shown for the potential divider, this corresponds to the supply voltage getting lower than about 6.5 V. The output of the IC is shunted by a simple LC filter formed by L1, C3 and D2. The oscillator on board the IC generates a clock frequency of around 65 kHz and drives the output transistor via two NOR gates. The built-in error detector, the battery low indicator or the voltage comparator can block the clock frequency, which causes the transistor to switch off. The IC compares the output voltage of 5 V with a built-in reference (FET). Depending on the load, the FET will be switched on for longer or shorter periods. The maximum current through the FET is 375 mA, which corresponds with a maximum output current of 80 mA.   (View)
