When signals coincide, indicating that antenna is pointing at target, delayed pulses representing a target are passed to radar ppi by azimuth gating circuit.-J. I.

The Colpitts VFO circuit (Fig. 93-1(a)) has gate clamping to improve stability. It is followed by two buffers: the second provides individual outputs to the transmitter and receiver. An RIT circuit operates on receive. The front end uses 40673 dual-gate MOSFETs (Fig. 93-1(b)). The tuned circuits are peaked to the center of the CW band with the trimmer. The mixer output is link-coupled to a KVG 9-MHz SSB filter whose output is amplified by an SL612 IF amplifier IC (Fig. 93-1(c)).The product detector uses two BC107 transistors. Carrier reinjection is from a crystal oscillator using the USB crystal supplied with the KVG filter. Figure 93-1(d) and 93-1(e) contain: an FET oscillator and a pnp bipolar oscillator. Use either or alter the circuit polarities to suit an npn transistor. The transmitter mixer is an MD108 (Fig. 93-1(f)), fed from the VFO and the LSB carrier-injection oscillator.A simple diode/meter circuit measures the relative power output (Fig. 93-1(g)). Sidetone is provided by an NE555 circuit (Fig. 93-1(h)). (View)

Used with ultrasonic delay line and 30-Mc Gaussian noise source to simulate actual clutter received during consecutive radar sweeps. Input 1 is amplified version of delay line output signal, which is added to noise input 2 in common plate load of V1 and V2, for amplification by V3. These three tubes together with tuned input to delay line form staggered Butterworth triple centered on 30 Mc, with half-power band-width of 2.75 Mc. Third input permits insertion of pulse for precise synchronizing lo repetition frequency of clutter simulator.-J. Atkin, H. J. Bikel, and M.

The circuit is built around a 555 oscillator (U1), which is tumed on when a trigger is applied by touching the touch terminal to pin 2 of U1. When activated, LED1 and BZ1 (a piezoelectric buzzer) tum on for the time period set by the values of R2 and C1. The ON-time of the touch circuit can be altered by changing the values of Q and R2.This touch switch can be powered from batter-ies so that it need not be near a 60-Hz power source for triggering. The extremely small amount of current supplied to the trigger input through the 10-MΩ resistor. R1, makes the input circuitry very sensitive to any external loading, and it is easily triggered by touching the pickup. (View)

This circuit uses a CA3240 dual BiMOS op amp to sense small currents flowing between the contact points on a touch plate. The high input impedance of the CA3240 allows the use of 1-MΩ resistors in series with the touch plates to ensure user safety. A positive output on either pin 7 (ON) or pin 1 (OFF) of the CA3240 actuates the CA3059 zero-voltage switch, which then latches the triac on or turns it off. The internal power supply of the CA3059 powers the CA3240. (View)

This switch reacts to the touch of a finger to turn lights and/or appliances on or off. The device uses the human body as an antenna to pick up 60-Hz hum, which is applied to a metal plate by your finger. The signal is fed to the input of U1, an LM380 audio-power amplifier. An LM386 should work as well.The 60-Hz output from the amplifier is rectified by D1 and D2, then filtered by C3. Potentiometer R3 sets the trigger voltage used to saturate Q1. When Q1 turns on, the collector end of R4 goes almost to ground and provides the needed voltage to turn on Q2. Transistor Q2 turns on and clocks. The flip-flop is configured for toggle-mode operation, so its output switches states with each clock pulse.The 4027 (U2) is wired to toggle by tying the J and K inputs high and the set and resets low. Transis-tor Q3 is connected to the Ooutput through the 4.7-kΩ resistor. Transistor Q3 drives Q4, the relay driver. Be sure that the load does not exceed the relay ratings. (View)

One TL084 IC and an old quartz watch enable the construction of a deluxe on/off switch. Two of the four op amps contained in the TL084 (A1 and A2) are used to amplify the input signals from the sensors by one hundredfold (with the component values as shown in the diagram). Just touching the sensors with a finger causes a good 50-Hz input signal (hum). Notice that the amplification drops rapidly with rising fre-quency.Diodes D5 and D6 rectify (single-phase) the 50-Hz signal. Because the diodes are connected in anti-phase, touching the off sensor causes a positive potential across C10, whereas touching the on sen-sor produces a negative potential across C10.Op amp A4 is connected as an inverting bistable so that a negative potential across C10 causes relay Re1 to be energized. Because of feedback resistor R16, this state is maintained until the other sensor is touched.The relay can also be energized at a predetermined time with the aid of a quartz watch. The 1.2-V supply for the watch is derived from the voltage drop across diodes D9 and D10; it can be increased to 1.8 V by adding a third diode.The piezo buzzer in the watch is connected to the input of A3 via C5. As soon as the alarm goes off (the hour signal must be off), the voltage across C10 becomes negative, the relay is energized, and the load is switched on. The circuit, excluding the relay, draws a current of about 20 mA. (View)
