INCREASED_FEEDBACK_STABILIZED_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/10 0:41:00 Author:May

The usual method for using a current-feedback amplifier to drive a capacitive load isolates the load with a resistor in series with the amplifier's output. A better solution involves only the amplifier's feedback resistors (Fig. 58-3(a)). Because the feedback resistors determine the amplifier's compensation, you can select the optimal value for these feedback resistors for almost any capacitive load. Feedback resistance RF sets the amplifier's bandwidth. Increasing RF reduces the amplifier's band-width, which significantly improves the amplifier's ability to drive capacitive loads. Feedback resistor RG sets the amplifier's gain. You cannot get the data necessary to calculate alternate values for RF from most data sheets. How-ever, a few minutes at the bench with a network analyzer will generate the data to make a graph of the value of the feedback resistor vs. the amount of capacitive load the amplifier can drive (Fig. 58-3(b)). Start with the recommended data-sheet value for feedback resistor RF and measure the amplifier's frequency response without any capacitive load. Note the bandwidth, then add capacitive loading until the response peaks by about 5 dB. Record this value of capacitance; it is the maximum amount for that feed-back resistor. Then, increase the value of the feedback resistor and repeat the procedure until you develop a graph like the one in Fig. 58-3(b).   (View)

DIGITAL_FREQUENCY_WINDOW

Published:2009/7/10 0:39:00 Author:May

This circuit detects frequency variation above or below preset limits. IC1 is a binary counter clocked at FCLK. The outputs are compared with switch preset values by IC2 and IC3. The input signal, which must be a positive-going pulse, is used to reset IC1. The P greater than Q output of the comparators is at logic 0 for input frequencies below the preset values. Above the preset count, a pulse train is output.IC2, detects a low input by supplying the pulse train to a retriggerable monostable, IC4. When the input frequency falls below the preset value in SW1, the monostable is no longer triggered and its output falls to logic 0. IC3 detects the frequency high state SW2, and outputs directly when this occurs. The outputs from both comparators can then be latched as shown, using IC5 and IC6. The clock frequency is related to input and switch values: switch value = FCLK/input. The time constant of IC4 is not critical, but must obviously exceed the maximum input pulse period.   (View)

RADIO_BEACON_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/10 0:39:00 Author:May

The radio beacon band extends from 280 to 516 kHz. Each beacon has its own characteristic AM-modulated morse-coded callsign that is transmitted on a specific frequency. To be able to receive distant beacons, the aerial signal is passed through a band-pass filter that effectively suppresses longwave and mediumwave signals. The ftlter also converts the aerial impedance, Zin, from about 10 kΩ to the input impedance of mixer IC1, which is about 1 kΩ.The mixer adds or subtracts the received signal to/from the local oscillator signal so that the beacon signal can be received on a normal shortwave receiver. The resulting frequencies are from 9.72 to 9.48 MHz or from 10.280 to 10.516 MHz. In the construction of the converter, some components must be surrounded by a metal shield, as indicated by dashed lines on the PC board layout.The circuit is aligned with the aid of an SSB receiver, to which the output of the convener is con-nected. Tune the receiver to 10 MHz and adjust the oscillator frequency of the converter with C8 for zero beat. Next, detune the receiver slightly until you hear a pleasant whistle, which is adjusted for minimum level with the aid of Pl. Finally, tune to a beacon transmitting at or about 300 kHz and adjust C13 for maximum sound output.   (View)

Three 567 tone decoders and 7402 quad gate are adjusted to recognize tones corresponding to any two keys in given row or column on Touch-Tone keyboard.

SIMPLE_TESLA_COIL

Published:2009/7/10 0:28:00 Author:May

The Tesla coil described here can generate 25,000 V. So, even though the output current is low, be very careful! The main component is a flyback transformer from a discarded TV.A new primary winding is needed. Begin by winding 5 turns of #18 wire on the core. Then, twist a loop in the wire, and finish 'ay winding five more turns. Wrap with electrical tape, but leave the loop exposed.A four-turn winding must be wound over the ten-turn winding that you've just finished. That is done the same way. First wind two turns of # 18 wire, then make a loop, and finish by winding two more turns.Again, wrap the new winding with electrical tape, leaving the loop exposed.When the windings are finished, the two loops shouldn't be more than 1/4-inch apart, but take care that they do not touch. Connect a 240-Ω resistor between the two loops. The modified transformer now should look like the one shown. Connect the transformer as shown. The 27-Ω resistor and two transistors should be mounted on a heatsH and must be insulated from it.The output of the high-voltage winding should begin to oscillate as soon as the circuit is connected to a 12-Vdc power supply. If it does not, reverse the connections to the base leads of the transistors. In normal operation, you should be able to draw 1-inch sparks from the high-voltage lead using an insulated screw-driver.   (View)

BALANCED_TMO_VCO

Published:2009/7/10 0:23:00 Author:May

This TMOS VCO operates in push-pull to produce 4 W at 70 MHz. It consists of two MFE930 TMOS devices in a balanced VCO that generally provide better linearity than the single-ended types. Varactors are not used because the design takes advantage of the large change in Miller capacitance, CRSS, that is available in TMOS gate structures.In the balanced VCO, the fundamental (fo) and/or twice the fundamental (2fo) can be coupled from the circuit at separate nodes. This makes the balanced oscillator very useful in phase-locked loops. The fundamental:   (View)
