This RF-circuit is operating at 7. 68MHz and 48V phantom power supplied. It is tested with a large diaphragm cardioid capsule from Ralf Falk, who himself is designing a LF tube microphone and with a small diaphragm capsule from a Sennheiser MKH415. (Do not mix up: `RF` stands for `Radio-Frequency`, not for `Ralf Falk`!) - Either the capsule`s capa

citance is part of an oscillator`s resonant circuit, so that theoscillator`s frequency is modulated with the audio frequency and can be demodulated with a usual frequency demodulator or discriminator. - Or a fixed oscillator generates a fixed frequency and the capsule`s capacitance is part of the frequency demodulator, so that with the audio frequency it detunes the demodulator and thus produces the audio signal. My circuit is of the latter type. "My circuit" - no, it is not invented by me. It is very similar to the one of the Sennheiser MKH-series introduced some 10 years ago (MKH406-P48, MKH416-P48 and so on). I believe this concept to be quite ingenious and I am convinced not to have any chance to surpass it, so I made mine a little different only. The oscillator runs with a crystal of 7. 68MHz. Other frequencies would do, too, if they were within the tuning range of the succeeding inductors. The oscillator`s low voltage output at pins 2, 1 and 6 has one or two windings resp. , and with J4 to J6 it is possible to test the effects of different input voltages to the FM-demodulator. The demodulator circuit (C5 - C7 and L2 and, most important, the capsule) is fed by C5 with a 90 ° phase shifted reference signal, which is phase shifted another +/-90 ° by L2 and CCapsule. Depending on the overall phase shift the demodulator`s output voltage across C6 and C7 is either positive, zero or negative. J1 and J2 allow to select...
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.....
