Simple circuit prevents generation of erroneous dots by paddle contact bounce in keyers having dot memory. Uses 74121 mono MVBR and 7432 AND gate. Output of 74121 stays low if paddle is not in use or if dots or dashes are being sent. Release of dash paddle makes 74121 transmit high-level pulse to AND gate, long enough to block dot caused by bounce. Suitable only for keyers using +5 V.-B.

Characters are self-completing and fully adjustable as to speed and length of character. When dot key is closed, NE555 timer U1 becomes astable MVBR with speed determined by F1B and dot duration by RA Identical timer U2 provides longercharacter lengths for dashes. All diodes are 1N4004 or equivalent 400 V PIV at 1 A. Q1 and Q2 are 2N2222, Q3 is 2N5964, and RL1 is 12-V reed relay. Capacitor values are in microfarads. All pots are linear.

Automatically detects single signal coming from large number of separate sources and identifies source, as required in doppler radar sets that must search bank of sharp filters placed side by side, to detect target, while antenna scans field of search. Positive signal reaching detector is amplified to drive Miller integrator V1-V2. As V1 goes negative, it disconnects one channel at a time (by driving its disconnecting diode D1 below 0 V) until live channel is reached. Detector output is then cut off, and C1 stores level at which disconnect occurred.-R. Kronlage, Monitoring Multiple Inputs Simultaneously, Electronics, 32:35, p 50-51. (View)

Designed for use in point-of-sale and other data-entry applications requiring bounceless binary encoder.Keypad is scanned by CD4067 16-channel analog multiplexer. When key is depressed, appropriate channel is driven low. When counter ad-dresses low input of multiplexer, common output goes low for one clock cycle. Differentiating network changes this to negative spike for strobing counter data into quad latch where it remains until another key is depressed clockshould be above 200 Hz.-M.

D1 acts as a varactor diode coupled to the transceiver or receiver LO tuning circuit. On receive, Q1, the MPF102, is cut off and the varactor voltage is controlled by the 10-kΩ pot. On transmit, Q1 conducts; this effectively shorts the 10-kΩ pot, placing a fixed voltage on the varactor diode. (View)

Low-drain CMOS circuit permits storage in RAM of message being keyed, for repeated later use by pushing button.Includes monitor, simple weight control, and both positive and negative keying outputs. Playback of stored message can be interrupted by closing either paddle contact. 1024-bit memory will hold two runs of alphabet, two sets of numbers, and several punctuation marks. Dot is stored as 1 followed.by 0; dash is three is followed by 0, Free-running clock ensures that spaces will be recorded.-C. B. Opal, The Micro-TO MeGsage Keyer, QST, Feb. 1978, p 11-14. (View)

A few of the many ways to input a signal into the NE602. Simple untuned methods (a and b) are acceptable. If you need to tune to a specific frequency, you can use an LC resonant circuit with un-grounded trimmer capacitors (c and d) or with grounded variable capacitors (e). You can even use a tuning voltage in connection with a varactor (f). (View)

This circuit uses one section of an XR-13600 dual OTA as a voltage controlled amplifier. Figure 11-1B shows that both sections of the XR-13600 have predistortion diodes and noncommitted Darlington buffer outputs. In the circuit of Fig. 11-1A, the bias current IB(pins 1 and 16) controls gain of the output. The 1-kΩ potentiometer at the amplifier input is adjusted to minimize the effects (offset) of the gain-control signal at the output. ExAP corporaton Databook, 1990, p 524S 5-252 (View)
