For maximum range, the receiver must be designed in the same manner as a radio receiver front end, since the received signals will be similar in both frequency component and in amplitude of the photodiode current. The major constraint on the receiver.... -
A sidetone oscillator is a special audio astable multivibrator. Keying is accomplished oscillator that is turned on and off with the by applying a positive dc potential, developed transmitter. The oscillator is rf-driven and bat- from the rf signal, to the.... -
Laser-receiver circuits must bias their avalanche photo diodes (APD) to achieve optimal gain. Unfortunately, an APD.. -
An input rectangular signal is differentiated and short impulses are formed from its edges. These impulses write the content of counter A to a latch that clears the counter after a very short time. Counter A counts impulses of the frequency fo that are much.... -
Fixed-value capacitors are disc ceramics. CI, C4, C5, C6, and C8 are NPO ceramic or polystyrene. C2 is a 25-pF ceramic trimmer and C3 is a 15- pF miniature air variable capacitor. The resistors are -W carbon film or composition. The RF chokes are miniature.... -
This circuit uses a VFO operating from 15 to 18 MHz (Ul), which feeds a balanced mixer (U2). A fixed oscillator signal is mixed with this signal to generate an output from 0.4 to 33 MHz. FL1 and FL2 are low- and high-pass filters that are used to eliminate.... -
This basic VFO for the 3- to 6-MHz range is coirimonly used in amateur applications, using a Colpitis circuit. For 5 to 5.5 MHz, C = C2 = 70 pF and for 3.5 to 4.0 MHz, use 1000 pF. C3 is typically 10 to 220 pF, depending on the frequency. C4, C5, and C6,.... -
An RF input is applied to the primary of Tl, which applies equal amplitude, opposite phase RF drive for output FETs Ql and Q2. With no AF modulation at points A and B, the opposite phase RF signals cancel each other and no output appears at the 50 V output.... -
A frequency reference for tuning up the RS-232 to 100 MHz RF desktop channel adapter elsewhere on this site, when I found this Saronix crystal oscillator in my junk box. A few minutes with AVRStudio produced an ATtiny12 to make a tone - even fewer parts.... -
A current-feedback amplifier is a well-known component with many uses. Its basic block diagram shows that its input stage is a voltage followerin practice, a symmetrical emitter follower (Figure 1). The configuration samples the output current, converts it.... -
This basic RF oscillator circuit is easy to build and the components are not critical. Most of them can be found in your junk parts box. The L1 antenna col can be made by close winding 8 to 10 turns of 22 gauge insulted hookup wire around 1/4 inch form.... -
The following schematic diagram shows the design of a 100 MHz Radio Frequency RF Oscillator Circuit. The electrets microphone picks up and amplifies sound then fed it into the audio amplifier stage built around the first transistor. The output from the.... -
An oscillator, a small power stage, some modulation, and a tiny loop antenna make RF for experiments on at 187.5 kHz on the United States' FCC Part 15 Lowfer band (1600-1750 meters). This is a low power signal source I put together one evening to provide.... -
The circuit is a modified Colpitts oscillator, tuned with MV209 varactor diodes. The resonating inductor and the drain choke are selected by a rotary switch. 1N5711 Schottky diode, D, clamps the maximum positive voltage on the gate of oscillator FET, Q1 to.... -
This is a circuit of 90-125 MHz Crystal which is very useful for VHF/UHF converters. This circuit provide 5 to 15 mW output. High-quality fifth- or seventh-over-tone crystal type can be used in this circuit. Undesired oscillation never reach above 500 MHz.... -
You can experiment with the size of the coul and the number of turns to see how it affects the frequency and signal output of the oscillator. You should be able to pick up its signal with standar FM radio receiver. The Signal In should be coupled by disc.... -
You ought be able to pick up its signal with a standard FM radio receiver. The signal in ought be coupled by a disc capacitor of about 0. 1 uF to stage in main of it... -
The MAX2620 combines a low-noise Oscillator with two output Buffers in a low-cost, plastic surface-mount, ultra-small uMAX package. This device integrates functions typically achieved with discrete co.... -
A popular circuit known as a Hartley oscillator. Its identifiable feature is the tapped coil in the LC tank circuit. Notice that the coil`s tap point is grounded. The amplifier portion of the oscillator is a common-emitter amplifier. Therefore, the ac base.... -
Make a basic RF oscillator. The circuit is ridiculously simple, so I will skip all the complicated maths and make component selection simple by using calculators. Let us assume I want an oscillator for 7MHz. The circuit looks like this: The first transistor....
