Modulation is achieved by unbalancing bridge in accordance with low-frequency in.put signal, using phase inverter Q2 to make both tubes unbalance bridge in same direction.-J.

1296_MHz_RF_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/9 1:16:00 Author:May

Using an NEC70083, this 1296-MHz amplifier delivers about 17-dB gain and around 1- to 1.5-dB noise. It is constructed on a G-10 epoxy fiberglass PC board. Use the layout shown because this is impor-tant for correct performance.The power supply/regulator delivers the regulated 3-Vdc for the drain circuit and U2 produces a nega-tive bias for the gate circuit. R5 sets the drain voltage to+3 V and R3 sets the gate bias. Typically, the drain current is about 10 mA.   (View)

DISCRETE_SEQUENCE_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/9 1:15:00 Author:May

The swept-frequency oscillator offers an inexpensive source of discrete frequencies for use in testing digital circuits. In this configuration, the circuit generates an 80-second sequence of eight frequencies, dwelling for 10 seconds on each frequency. You can change the dwell time or the number of frequencies.Frequencies can range from 0.005 Hz to 1 MHz. The programmable crystal oscillators, PXOs, IC2 and IC4 can each generate 57 frequencies in response to an 8-bit external code. IC2 contains a 1-MHz crystal and produces a 0.05-Hz output. IC4 contains a 600-kHz crystal; its output changes in response to the combined outputs of the 12-stage binary counter IC3 (Q1 and Q2) and the PXO IC2. To generate more frequencies, you can use one or more of IC3's outputs, (Q3, Q4, Q5) to drive one or more of IC4's inputs (P4, P5, P6). Similarly, you can rewire IC2 or drive it with other logic to control the duration of each frequency. IC1, a monostable multivibrator, provides a system reset. It initiates the sequence shown, beginning at 60 Hz, in response to a positive pulse.   (View)

ULTRASONIC_PEST_REPELLER

Published:2009/7/8 23:28:00 Author:May

This circuit is a 555 timer IC connected as a square-wave generator. Its base frequency is approximately 45 kHz, as determined by the values of R1, R2, and C1. The 45-kHz carrier is frequency modulated by a modified trapizoidal voltage waveform applied to pin 5 of the 555 timer. That modulating voltage is developed by a network consisting of C2, R3, and R4 connected across one leg of the bridge rectifier. The sweep is approximately 20 kHz on each side of the base frequency. The speaker is a 2-inch piezoelectric tweeter.   (View)

TURNTABLE_RUMBLE_FILTER

Published:2009/7/8 23:27:00 Author:May

Many record players unfortunately exhibit two undesired side effects: rumble (noise caused by the motor and the turntable) and other low-frequency spurious signals. The active high-pass Chebyshev filter presented here was designed to suppress those noises. The filter has a 0.1-dB ripple characteristic and a cut-off point of 18 Hz. The choice of a Chebyshev filter might not seem optimum for audio purposes, but because of its 0.1-dB ripple in the pass band it behaves very much like a Butterworth type. Its advantage is that the response has steeper skirts (which are calculated curves). Frequencies below 10 Hz are attenuated by more than 35 dB. The phase behavior in the pass band shows a gradual shift so that its effect on the repro-duced sound is inaudible. If the filter is used in a stereo installation, the characteristics of both filters must be identical or nearly so. Phase differences between channels can be heard-perhaps not so much at lower frequencies, but certainly in the midranges. To ensure identity and also to obtain the desired characteristics, capacitors C1 through C5 must be selected carefully. It does not matter much whether their value is 467 or 473 pF; this difference only causes a slight shift of the cut-off point. However, they must be identical within that 1% tolerance. For symmetry of channels, the capacitors can be paired and then used in either channel at the corresponding position. The diagram shows theoretical values for the resistors: their practical values are given in the table.The prototype was constructed with 5% metal-film types from the E12 series and these were used with-out sorting. Their tolerance was perfectly acceptable in practice. The current drawn by the circuit is purely that through the op amp and it amounts to about 4 mA. The high cut-off point is also determined by the op amp and it lies at about 3 MHz. The only problem that cannot be foreseen is a possible coupling capacitor in the signal source. That component will be in series with C1 and this might adversely affect the frequency response. However, if its value is greater than 47 μF, it will have little if any effect; if it is below that value, it is best removed; C1 will assume its function.   (View)

1A_WITH_0005_VOLTAGE_ACCURACY

Published:2009/7/8 23:26:00 Author:May

Use of National LM120 negative regulator with LM108A low-drift opamp and 1N829 precision reference diode gives extremely tight regula-tion, very low temperature drift, and full over load protection. Bridge arrangement sets output voltage and holds reference diode current constant. FET is required because 4-mA maximum ground current of regulator exceeds output current rating of opamp. R1 and R2 should track to 1 PPM or less. R3 is chosen to set reference current at 7.5 mA. For output of 8 to 14 V, use LM120-5.0; for 15-17V, use LM120-12.-C. T.

DIODE_SENSOR_FOR_LASERS

Published:2009/7/8 23:25:00 Author:May

Laser-receiver circuits must bias their avalanche photo diodes (APD) to achieve optimal gain. Unfor-tunately, an APD's gain depends on the operating temperature. The circuit controls the operating voltage of an APD over a large temperature range to maintain the gain at the optimal value. The circuit uses D1 as a temperature sensor, thermally matched with the APD.A voltage regulator, IC1, supplies the necessary reference voltage to the circuit. IC2A and Q1 bias D1 at a constant current. IC2B, IC2C, IC3A/IC3B, and IC3C amplify D1's varying voltage and set Q2 to he optimal-gain corresponding value. Potentiometer RI controls the amplification over a range of 5 to 5. R2 controls the voltage level, which corresponds to the optimal gain of the APD at 22°C (the erature is specific to the type of APD). The circuit shown was tested with an RCA C 30954E APD. The tests cov-ered -40 to +70°C and used a semiconductor laser. The laser radiation was transmuted on the APD's active surface in the climatic room via fiberoptic cable. The gain varied by, at most, 10.2 dB over the entire temperature range.   (View)

ULTRASONIC_RECEIVER

Published:2009/7/8 23:23:00 Author:May

The 4046 PPL is used as the heart of a tunable ultrasonic receiver that can be used to locate unheard ultrasonic sounds. The receiver might also be used, along with a simple ultrasonic generator, to send and receive Morse code. The incoming ultrasonic signal is picked up by piezo speaker SPKRl, and amplified by transistors Q1 and Q2. The output is fed to the phase comparator input of U1 at pin 14. The chip's interval VCO is tuned by turning potentiometer R9.If a 20-kHz signal is picked up by SPKR1 and the VCO is tuned to produce a 19-kHz signal the difference output at pin 2 will be 1 kHz. That 1-kHz signal is amplified by Q3 and coupled through T1 to a pair of headphones. If the received frequency increases to 22 kHz, a 3-kHz tone is heard in the headphones. With the values given in the parts list for C1, R1, and R9, the VCO can be tuned from 12 to well over 42 kHz, which should cover just about anything the piezo sensor can respond to.   (View)
