SHORTWAVE_CONVERTER_FOR_AM_CAR_RADIOSS1_

Published:2009/7/10 0:52:00 Author:May

Using a Signetics NE602, this converter tunes the 9.5- to 9.8-MHz range. An AM car radio is used as a tunable IF amplifier. Output is taken from J2, the auto antenna. The crystal (XTAL1) can be a frequency about 1 MHz below the desired tuning range; for 9.5 to 9.8 MHz, an 8.5- to 8.8-MHz crystal should be used.   (View)

Frequency with D1 capacitance.LO FREQ Desired received frequency ± IF frequency.In this case, the NE602 is used in this superhet front-end configuration. U1 serves as a frequency converter. L1/L2 is a broadband toroidal transformer. A tuned transformer may be used instead. The sup-ply voltage is +5 to +9 Vdc. T1 is tuned to the IF frequency. The typical IF frequency is 455 kHz. This circuit, depending on L1, L2, and L3, should be usable in the frequency range from audio to 30 MHz. The varactor tuning diode can be replaced with an air-variable capacitor, if desired.   (View)

LIGHT_BEAM_FOR_CONTROL_OF_MOVING_TOY

Published:2009/7/19 23:32:00 Author:Jessie

Battery-powered CM0S logic is switched on and off by aiming flashlight beam at photocell, for turning small motors of model train or other powered toy on and off. Transistors can be 2N2222A for most small motors, but larger motors will require power transistors, Use high-intensity flashlight, with shield over lens to restrict beam width, so only one of five photocells is illuminated at a time. LED shows ON/OFF status of circuit. Values of R1-R4 are chosen so each gate flips logic state only when associated photocell is illuminated.-J. Sandler, 9 Projects under $9, Modern Electronics, Sept. 1978, p 35-39.   (View)

This converter enables a receiver that tunes 28 to 32 MHz to receive the 144- to 148-MHz amateur band. A BF981 dual-gate MOSFET provides RF gain and feeds mixer T2, another BF981. T3 is a 116-MHz crystal oscillator used to provide L.O. injection to T2. Coils are wound on a 6-mm form. L1, L3, and L4 are 8 turns of 1-mm diameter silver-plated copper wire. L2 is 4 turns of 0.2-mm wire through a ferrite lead. L6 has 19 turns on the primary and 3 turns on the secondary.   (View)

8_CHOICES_WITH_3_WIRES

Published:2009/7/19 23:30:00 Author:Jessie

Provides remotely selected choice of eight functions, such as channels in mobile FM station, with only three wires running from control head to controlled equipment that can be in front of car. System involves converting 8-position switch selection in control head to 3-bit binary form for three control wires going to three-relay arrangement for decoding back to 8-position format. Relays are two-pole and four-pole double-throw 12-V units.-G. D. Rose, Independent 8-Channel Frequency Selection with Only Three Wires, QST, Aug. 1974, p 36-40.   (View)

WINDOW_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/10 0:46:00 Author:May

This circuit de-energizes a normally energized relay if the input voltage goes above or below two individually set voltages. The transistor driving the relay is normally turned on by R4, so the relay is normally energized. If the cathode of D1 or D2 is taken negative, Q1 will turn off and the relay will de-energize. The IC is a 72747 dual op amp used without feedback, so the full gain of about 100dB is available. The amplifier output will thus swing from full positive to fullmegative for a few mV change at the input. The relay is therefore only energized if VIN is between VUL and VLL. The two limits can be set anywhere between the supply rails, but obviously VUL must be more positive than VLL. If VIN can go outside the supply rails, D5, D6, and R5 should be added to prevent damage to IC1. If VUL and VLL are required to be outside the supply rails, VIN can be reduced by RV3. The supplies can be any value, providing that the voltage across them is not more than 30 V.   (View)

NINE_CHANNEL_DECODER

Published:2009/7/19 23:29:00 Author:Jessie

Circuit accepts serial information arriving over data link as series of nine varying-width pulses followed by fixed-width sync pulse, and after detection passes the nine individual commands to their respective servoamplifiers. Use of TTL ICs gives low component count for remote control system. Detection of sync pulse is done by comparing length of inverted input pulses with output of 0.6-ms monostable reference. All command pulses exceed 0.6 ms, so only 0.5-ms sync pulse clears counter to prepare for next channel-1 command pulse. Article gives operating details of system and circuits for coder and servoamplifier.-M.F. Bessant, Multi-Channel Proportional Remote Control, Wireless World, 0ct. 1973, p 479-482.   (View)

VLF_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/10 0:45:00 Author:May

The VLF Converter can be used to pick up signals for the general coverage of shortwave receivers. A number of unusual signals can be heard on frequencies below 15 kHz.This converter wiil convert frequencies from 0 to 250 kHz to 3500 to 3750 kHz so that the LF- and VLF-band segments can be received on an amateur or shortwave receiver that covers 3 500 to 4000 kHz.Signals from a short whip antenna (8 to 10 feet) are coupled through low-pass filter L1/L2/C2/C3 to RF amp Q1. Q3 mixes these signals with a 3.5-MHz signal from Q2 and associated components C4, R5, R4, and 3.5-MHz XTAL. L3 is an RF choke that presents an inductive load to Q3. It should be resonant some-what above 3.5 MHz when placed in the circuit. An adjustable coil of about 30 to 100 μH should be suffi-cient. The converter output is taken from the emitter of Q3 through C6.   (View)
