Single AD534 analog multiplier and two opamps compute RMS value of input signal as square root of sum of squares. Input is first squared at X2 and Y1 then time-averaged by integrator. Closing output loop back to X1 and Y2 completes square-rooting function. Crest factors up to 10 do not appreciably affect accuracy as long as input limits of multiplier are not exceeded. Accuracy is maintained up to 100 kHz. Article gives calibration procedure.-R.

Two Motorola 3-inch lengths and prepare MRF309 transistors in pusffipull require only 16 and W drive to deliver 100 W for transmitter applications. Circuit provides 8 dB of power gain at efficiency greater than 40% when operating from 28-V supply. Harmonic suppression inherent in push-pull operation is enhanced by seven-element low-pass filter at output. Q1and Q2 are bias resistors and must be insulated from heatsink with mica washers. T1 and T2 are transformers constructed from RG58 coax. Use 1/4 inch at each end to give total transformer length of 21h inches.H. Swanson and B.

Modification of basic speed control circuit for small DC permanent-magnet motors provides maximum current limit under normal conditions and reduced current limit under stall conditions, to limit dissipation of series transistor Q4, to safe value. When motor stalls, motor voltage falls, reducing voltage and motor current required to turn on Q3 and thereby limiting stalled-motor current,-D.

In this circuit, a TL431 shunt regulator is used to sense the output voltage. The TL431 drives the LED of a 4N28 optocoupler which provides feedback to the MAX641 while maintaining isolation between the input, + 12 V, and the output, + 15 V. In this circuit, the + 15 V output is fully regulated with respect to both line and load changes.

National LM378 amplifier IC is basis for low-cost proportional speed controller capable of furnishing 700 mA continuously for such applications as antenna rotors and motor-controlled valves. Proportional control results from error signal developed across Wheatstone bridge R1-R2-P1-P2. P1 is mechanically coupled to motor shaft as continuously variable feedback sensor. As motor turns, P1 tracks movement and error signal becomes smaller and smaller; system stops when error voltage reaches 0 V.- Audio Handbook, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1977, p 4-8-4-20.

The NE602, U1, contains oscillator and mixer stages. The mixer combines the oscillator signal with the input rf signal to produce signals whose frequencies are the sum and difference of the input frequencies. For example, a 7.5-MHz signal is picked up by the antenna and mixes with the 8.5-MHz oscillator frequency. The difference between those two signals is 1 MHz-right in the center of your AM dial. Trans-former T1 is a 10.7-MHz i-f transformer. (View)

Transversal digital filter suppresses harmonics present on input square wave, to give pure sine wave. Resistors weight data as it passes through 16-bit shift register, so sine wave is sampled at 16 times its frequency and theoretically has no harmonics below the 16th. Simple RC filter removes remaining harmonics. Input is clock whose repetition rate is 16 times desired frequency. SN74L93 4-bit ripple counter divides this down to provide square wave of desired frequency. Square wave is sampled 16 times per cycle and shifted down SN7495 16-bit shift register. C1 and C2 are selected to eliminate higher harmonics. Sine-wave output has harmonic distortion of less than -50 dB.-L. J. Mandell, Sine-Wave

The unit consists of rf amplifier Q1, local oscillator Q2, and mixer Q3. The two bands are covered without a bandswitch by using an i-f or 3.5 MHz. The oscillator range is 7.5 to 14.5 MHz. Incoming signals from 4 to 11 MHz are mixed with the oscillator to produce the 3.5-MHz i-f. Signals from 11 to 18 MHz are mixed with the oscillator to also produce an i-f of 3.5 MHz. At any one oscillator frequency, the two incoming signals are 7 MHz apart. Rf amplifier input C1/L1 comprises a high-Q, lightly loaded, tuned circuit; this is essential for good band separation.
