@low-cost optical tracker
A project required building a synchronous-demodulator circuit to track a line drawn on paper. The beauty of the synchronous-modulator/demodulator approach is its inherent noise rejection. The method rejects nearly all out-of-band noise, whether from internal drift or external illumination. This rejection is a boon in optical tracking, where the return signal is inevitably buried in 120-Hz ambient light, amplifier offsets, and temperature drifts...

@Tachometer demodulator has fast response time
When a tachometer is a critical part of overspeed-shutdown circuitry, the response time of conventional demodulators may be too long. The circuit in the block diagram in Figure 1 provides updated speed data. The circuit provides corrections for variations in excitation amplitude and frequency at every excitation half-cycle. The circuit is independent of processors and, therefore, immune to software- and bus-related failures...

@Increasing the Frequency Response of the ADXL Series Accelerometers
The ADXL series of accelerometers are specified and tested for operation over the range from dc to 1 kHz typically. However, in many applications, such as vibration monitoring, a wider bandwidth is required. The bandwidth of these accelerometers can be increased by decreasing the demodulator capacitance...

@The KD2BD Pacsat Modem
The KD2BD Pacsat Modem is a low cost, high performance 1200 bps BPSK modem designed to interface between a packet radio terminal node controller (TNC) and an amateur satellite ground station, and allows full-duplex access to the 1200 baud "Pacsat" constellation of amateur satellites. The KD2BD Pacsat Modem consists of a 1200 bit per second BPSK demodulator for receiving Pacsat transmissions, and a Bi-Phase Manchester encoder for generating Pacsat uplink signals. The.....

@INFRARED MOTOR CONTROLLER
When the circuit is energised
from a 6V battery, the decade
counter CD4017 (IC2), which is
configured as a toggle flip-flop, is
immediately reset by the power-onreset
combination of capacitor C3
and resistor R6. LED1 connected
to pin 3 (Q0) of IC2 via resistor R5
glows to indicate the standby condition.
In standby condition, data
output pin of the integrated infrared
receiver/demodulator
(SFH505A or TSOP1738) is at a
high level (about 5 volts) and transistor.....

@14MHz SSB 10mW transceiver
The whole Construction : You can call the transceiver like this as "OZL type". Characteristics of the "OZL type" are as follows.
1. Single conversion super.
2. Using two DBM-s as modulator and converter.
3. Modulator DBM is used as demodulator in receiving time.
4. All amplifiers are used in transmitting and receiving time.
5. Case is second use of my failed or useless machine.(This time I used my useless old 10W 7MHz transmitter.)
6. All decals are done with the.....
