J201 JFET works best at 10 volts. The minimum current is 0. 5 mA. These are all ideal specifications. The specification spread of FETs is normally three to five times. I`ve personally seen a five-X variation in brand-name devices. The devices that I`ve recently tested are from the same batch. These devices perform more like one another. I intend to operate the test circuits from a 9-volt, regulated power supply.

My goal for proper bias of the MPF102 is 4. 5 to 7 volts at the FET drain. If the MPF102 doesn`t bias properly, I`ll perform a second set of tests. In these tests, I`ll take the MPF102 circuit and swap in source resistors. When I find a source resistor that produces drain voltage in the range, I`ll rerun the source and drain voltage tests. Then I`ll check to see if the MPF102 produces voltage gain or attenuates the voltage signal. If the drain resistor is substantially larger than the source resistor, the circuit has voltage gain. This statement assumes that when using these resistor values, the circuit biases the device correctly. I built the circuit on a plug board. Then I plugged in one test device. I powered the device and measured the drain and source voltages. I then replaced the test device with the next device of the same type, and repeated my tests. As I expected, I had to adjust the bias on the MPF102 transistors. The table below summarizes my results. I tested three of each type of JFET. For each transistor, the table has two columns. In the left column, I give the drain voltage. In the right column, I give the source voltage. Also note that I have a second "MPF102" column on the right. Under this heading are three columns. These three columns detail my adjustment to the MPF102 bias. The leftmost column is the new source bias resistor value. The middle column is the new drain voltage. The right column is the new...
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.....
