The circuit shown is small, draws little current, and is easily fabricated on a perfboard-just keep the wires short and the bypass capacitors close to their position on the schematic. To install, make a break in the wire from the antenna and insert the preamplifier. With proper trimming, this circuit yields about 20 dB of gain. (View)

This classic triangular/square-wave generator (chapter 5) uses both sections of an XR-13600 (Fig. 11-1B). With the values shown, the oscillator provides signals from 200 kHz to below 2 Hz when IC is varied from 1 mA to 10 nA.The output amplitudes are set by IA×RA. Notice that the peak differential-input voltage must be less than 5 V to prevent zenering the inputs. EXAP Corporahon Databook 1990 p 5-255 (View)

An audio mixer is a handy circuit that will combine two or more audio signal sources into one signal channel. The figure shows an audio mixer that is built around the LM3900 CDA. The crux of this circuit is the three input networks, principally R3, R4, and R5. These resistors are connected to different input sources (labeled VIN1,VIN2, and VIN3). Those three resistors all connect to the inverting input of the CDA. The gain is approximately
AV=R2/Rxwhere Rx is the value of any one input resistor. The output voltage is
Vo=R2[(VIN1/R3)+(VIN2/R4)+(VIN3/R5)If resistor R2 is made variable, then the potentiometer used for R2 will serve as a master gain control for the audio mixer. (View)

Missing pulse detector using an ECG955M timer/oscillator chip. The timing cycle is continuously reset by the input pulse train. A change in frequency or missing pulse allows completion of the timing cycle, which causes a change in the output level. The time delay should be set a little longer than normal between pulse for this reason (courtesy GTE Sylvania Incorporated). (View)

A simple PLL-based FM demodulator can be made to demodulate two subcarriers and provide a source of background music. The input to this receiver is fed from the wideband audio output from an FM radio's first FM detector. This is the point that feeds the FM stereo demodulator in an FM receiver. Care should be taken to ensure that the signal is tapped off at a point which hasn't yet been filtered [the subcarrier(s) are still present]. This FM input signal is then passed through a second-order high-pass filter and peaker stage (Q1), which serves to bandpass and provide additional gain within the input spectrum prior to the FM demodulator input. The FM detection is accomplished by a simple LM565 PLL IC (U1) operating as an FM demodulator. The PLL's VCO is tuned to 91 kHz via RT/CT. The demodulated output signal is available at pin 7, which is followed by a second-order LPF/buffer combination (Q4). The characteristics of this filter can be modified to suit the user. The design shown has an audio corner frequency of about 5 kHz. The filtered output is the recovered audio output and is the input to an audio amplifier. To choose the second subcarrier (67 kHz), the peaker and VCO are gang-tuned by the Q2 and Q3 saturating switch transistors. These devices switch in appropriate-valued parallel capacitors to retune the peaker and VCO to the proper frequency for reception of the second subcarrier signal. Circuit values shown are for an FM level of about 50 to 300 mV rms at the input to the peaker stage. In addition, the PLL dynamic characteristics can be altered as desired by modifying the loop filter. The typical recovered audio level at pin 7 of U1 is 200 mV rms. To receive SCA signals, the FM receiver can simply be tuned to normal FM stations, and then the presence of either or both subcarriers can be checked. (View)

The antenna is an inductor, L1, consisting of about 60 turns of 0.2-mm (SWG36) enameled copper wire on a ferrite rod with a diameter of 12 mm and a length of about 12 cm. The inductor is tuned with a 500-pF foil-dielectric variable capacitor, C1. The audio power amplifier, a TDA7050, is required only if you want to use a small loudspeaker instead of, or in addition to, the headphones. The AF power amplifier also adds the luxury of a volume control to the receiver. The receiver IC operates at 1.54 V from only one of two series-connected AA (penlight) batteries, which supply 3 V to the TDA7050. Current consumption is of the order of 8 mA. (View)

This transceiver has a 3-stage transmitter and a direct-conversion receiver. Q1 is the transmitter's oscillator, and the frequency is controlled by X1, which also serves as the receiver local oscillator. Buffer Q2 drives final amplifier Q3 to about 5 W output. The B+ lead to these stages is keyed. The receiver consists of mixer Q4 followed by high gain amplifiers Q5/Q6/Q7. The audio signal appears at the secondary of Q7. In the transmit mode, Q5/Q6/Q7 serve as a sidetone oscillator. A 6PDT switch is required for the T/R switching. (View)
