RF Recieving Amplifier for 40MHZ

The sensitivity of the receiver can be considerably increased if an RF amplifier is placed between the receiver and its aerial. The amplifier circuit does not use resonant circuits, making it suitable for both medium waves and low waves, up to 40 MHz. Its gain is around 20 dB and it consumes 7 mA when supplied with 12 to 15 V DC. The input and output are adapted with coaxial cable, with a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms.

The circuit employs a combination of resistors, capacitors, and transistors to achieve the desired amplification. The part list includes the following components:

- R1 = 75 ohm
- R2 = 10 K ohm
- R3-R7 = 5.6 K ohm
- R4-R5 = 4.7 K ohm
- R6 = 820 ohm
- R8 = 470 ohm
- R9 = 2.2 K ohm
- R10 = 68 ohm
- C1-C3 = 47 nF 100 V
- C2-C4 = 10 nF 100 V
- C5-C6 = 47 nF 100 V
- Q1-Q3 = AF125
- J1-J2 = Jack BNC

The RF amplifier utilizes AF125 transistors, which are well-suited for low-frequency applications. The resistors are selected to set the biasing conditions for the transistors, ensuring that they operate in the active region for optimal amplification. The capacitors are used for coupling and decoupling signals, as well as for filtering purposes to maintain signal integrity and reduce noise.

The input stage of the amplifier is designed to match the 75-ohm impedance of the coaxial cable, minimizing signal reflections and maximizing power transfer. The gain of 20 dB indicates that the output signal will be significantly stronger than the input, enhancing the receiver's sensitivity to weak signals. The circuit's power consumption of 7 mA is relatively low, making it suitable for battery-operated devices.

In summary, this RF amplifier circuit is a versatile solution for improving the sensitivity of receivers operating within the specified frequency range, utilizing common components to achieve effective signal amplification while maintaining compatibility with standard coaxial connections. The sensitivity of receiver it is possible to increase itself considerably, if is interfered, between this and his aerial, a amplifier RF. The amplifier of circuit, does not use in resonant circuits and for this is suitable, so much for mid waves, what for the low waves, up to the 40 MHZ.

The gain his it is the order 20db and it consumes 7mA, when it is supplied with 12 until 15V dc. His entry and the exit are adapted with coaxial cable, complex resistance 75ohm.
