Output transformer core: coming from flea market, light blue color, marked as A-438281-2-9H9-3, OD = 47 mm, ID = 24 mm, height = 13 mm. No information about µ Mosfet to be used: coming from flea market, with the following characteristics. It`s an obsolete (no data sheet could be retrieved) and cheap (1 euro) device and is similar to the well known IRFP450.

The ARRL handbook suggests that RF non resonant transformer must have an inductive reactance (XL) at least 4 times the impedance. I decided to use XL= 6 times the impedance. The secondary winding should match the antenna impedance, in my case about 50 ohms. Table 3 report the secondary winding turns, computed with the following formula: The transformer turn ratio (10 / 30) confirms the impedance matching from the 3. 3 ohm of the output stage to the 50 ohm of the antenna system (see formula 3). The input stage can handle a 5 to 12 V pp signal (TTL or CMOS, probably, but not tested, also sinusoidal signals). My Xtal oscillator uses an ex CB Xtal 27. xxx MHz divided by 100. The mosfet is mounted on a heat sink coming from an old Pentium 2 CPU, with the little fan running at 12 V. Another fan in the box keeps the temperature of the transmitter comfortable; the source pin go to the ground plane directly. The by-pass capacitors C2 e C3 must be of the best quality you can find, rated to 4 times Vdc, I use two 1 µF and one 2, 2 µF polyester 250 volt in parallel. Don`t use electrolytic capacitors and keep the terminals as short as possible.
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 principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
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.....
