MOTOR_CONTROLLING_MIXER

Published:2009/7/11 2:10:00 Author:May

Used to lock crystal oscillator frequency to standard-frequency signals from WWV. Circuit mixes dock and WWV frequencies (fed to tubes at left and right) in Nygaard discriminator ar rangement, which delivers two outputs, each equal to difference frequency but differing 90°in phase. These output signals are amplified for synchronous motor that drives trimmer capacitor of crystal oscillator in servo loop that brings difference frequency to zero.-K.Nygaard, Atomic Clock Accuracy for Crystal Oscillators, Electronics, 33:46, p82-83.   (View)

HIGH_ACCURACY_CURVE_TRACER

Published:2009/7/11 2:09:00 Author:May

Can be used with any calibrated CRO, formatching and testing transistors or diodes by comparing performance curves. All opamps are 709C. Triangle wave generated by IC1-IC2 is fed to Schmitt trigget Q1-Q2, which generates square wave having transitions at zero voltagecrossings of input triangle. Q3 clamps square wave to 6.3 V P-P. Flipflop Q4-Q5 generates same square wave but at half the frequency of triangle wave. Combining square waves gives three-step staircase voltage having steps precisely in phase with zero signal crossings of triangle wave. T1 is UTC A-20 audio transformer, and T2 is Stancor P-6411 I5-W 1:1 isolation transformer. Article covers construction, alignment, and use, and gives circuit of suitable regulated supply operating from ±110 and ±6.3 V available in AN/USM-140C military version of Hewlett-Packard 170 CRO.-A.

SOLID_STATE_REGENERATIVE_RECEIVER

Published:2009/7/17 3:26:00 Author:Jessie

You will need to modify the coil shown to use it with the regenerative receiver. Place a single layer of electrical tape around the bottom winding of the coil (L1); wind 6 turns of 19- or 20-gauge wire over the taped winding, leaving 4 pigtails. Tape the winding in place. Then connect the modified coil to the receiver circuit as shown in the figure. The two 2N3904 transistors are connected in a Darlington high-input-impedance circuit configuration to reduce loading of the tuned circuit. Potentiometer R2 controls the positive RE feedback. If the receiver seems dead or if only weak signals are heard, try reversing the leads on the six-turn feedback coil.   (View)

FIXED_CURRENT_REGULATOR

Published:2009/7/17 3:26:00 Author:Jessie

This ftxed 1-mA current source delivers a ftxed current to a load connected between Q1's collector and ground; the load can be anywhere in the range from 0 Ω to 14 Ω. The circuit is powered from a regulated 15-V supply, and the R1/R2 voltage divider applies a 14-V reference to R3. The op amp's output automatically adjusts to provide an identical voltage at the junction of R4 and R5. That produces 1 V across R5, resulting in an R5 current of 1 mA. Because that current is derived from Q1's emitter, and the emitter and collector currents of a transistor are almost identical, the circuit provides a fixed-current source. The output current can be doubled by halving the value of R5.   (View)

Gives complete check of shielded twisted-pair cablein one operation, indicating short-circuits between conductors and providing positive continuity check of each conductor. Tester using polarity-sensitive bicolor LEDs is connected to one end of cable under test, and two-diode plug is patched in at other end. If cable is good, only green LEDs come on. If a conductor in cable is open, oneor both green LEDs will be off. One or both red LEDs will light for short between any combination of conductors or if cable is wired incorrectly.
