C1 = 3 750 pF 500 V silver-mica capacitor. C2= 100 pF preset capacitor (Jackson C803). C3 = 75 pF variable capacit.. -
This antenna might help to reduce power-line noise. A plastic hula hoop or conduit 3 feet in diameter, covered with aluminum foil as a shield is used for LI and L2. LI is two turns and L2 is one turn, threaded through the loop. SI selects 160- or 80-m.... -
This preamplifier has a built-in regeneration control boost gain selectivity. CI is a single or multi-gang AM broadcast-band tuning capacitor. LI is a ferrite loop antenna, tapped at about 15 to 25% of total turns. This circuit should prove useful for.... -
The small single turn magnetic loop (SSTML) antenna consists of a single winding inductor, about 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter, and a tuning capacitor. A second loop, which is one fifth of the diameter of the large loop, is connected to the feedline and this.... -
Please find attached your copy of my four foot unampilfied box loop. It will tune from 525 kHz to about 1710 kHz covering the entire Broadcast Band. The umbrella stand described in the article is the type you would use for an outdoor umbrella. I fill.... -
This circuit is designed to be used in conjunction with the standard 4 foot square loop used in MW for long distance reception... -
All ATL-3 loop windings are centre tapped and balanced w.r.t. their amplifier/receiver chassis ground, and therefore electric field interference pick up tends to self cancel. Magnetic noise fields,e.g. televisions and the electric meter box, or.... -
An AM loop antenna is one of the true marvels of electronics. Requiring no power, it takes advantage of the resonant properties of an inductor and a capacitor connected in parallel to receive weak AM stations. The "loop" part of the antenna is the inductor,.... -
This new loop antenna by Graham Maynard is his best design yet and I am proud to be the first to present his work. It uses one, six foot square, six turn loop, and is aperiodic in nature, covering the frequency range 50KHz - 5000KHz... -
A magnetic loop has a very small bandwidth but unsensitive to man made noise. It is much smaller than a conventional antenna for the same frequency and has a gain that can be compared to a quarter wave antenna even if the loop is mounted a meter from the.... -
This antenna is the result of long term development and user feedback. All ATL-3 loop windings are centre tapped and balanced w.r.t. their amplifier/receiver chassis ground, and therefore electric field interference pick up tends to self cancel. Magnetic.... -
This 1 square meter antenna has radiation resistance of about 10 nanohoms, making the 0.4 Ohm resistance (including skin effect, which about doubled the resistance from the DC value) the dominant loss in the antenna. The lower the resistance, the more.... -
Loop Antennas are considered to be "samall" when their diameter drops below about 1/10 of the wavelength they are intended to be used at. In this case, I use the term "Tiny" because the antenna's diameter is about 1/30,000 the wavelength, and at 5.5 cm in.... -
A loop antenna can greatly improve medium wave reception. Loop antennas are directional and receive signals along the plane of the windings. The directional quality improves signal to noise ratio of the desired signal while rejecting signals perpendular.... -
The loop may be fed inside the center of one of the vertical sides if vertical polarization is preferred. For horizontal polarization, it can be necessary to feed either in the horizontal sides in the center. Optimum directivity happens at proper angles.... -
I decided to make my own K9AY antenna system and controller. Basically, after looking at the currently available commercial version, I figured I could make a better unit for less money and be happy. The basis for the K9AY antenna is that it has a steerable.... -

There are now extremely wideband software defined radios (SDR) where the wideband antenna is a natural choice. Wideband small magnetic loops (WSM loop) are used already 3-4 decades and I was curious to see what can be reached with them and to evaluate their....

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of.... -
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is.... -
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to.... -
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This.... -

The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,.... -
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the.... -
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power.... -
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
