By use of transformers one can apply both voltage feedback and current feedback. There was an article in Ham Radio november 1979 by DJ2LR Ulrich Rohde giving details about this circuit. For the 2. 5MHz to audio converter the transformation ratio from drain to source is 2:1. The output transformer, TR3 in fig. 1, is 9 turns trifilar wound on a 16 mm

toroid. Two of the windings are connected in series at the drain side. The drain is loaded by one 100 ohm resistor to ground and one 100 ohm resistor to the bandpass filter. For details, see the circuit diagram of fig. 1. The input impedance of the filter is about 100 ohms within the passband but it varies a little. Outside the passband the input impedance of the filter is lower. The impedance at the drain of the transistor is very low due to the feedback. The impedance feeding the filter is therefore 100 ohms regardless of what impedance is connected to the input of the amplifier. The third order input intercept point, IP3 of the amplifier is about 40 dBm. The 1dB compression point is at +15 dBm when clipping occurs at the drain. The RF voltage at the drain is then 20V which makes the power absorbed in the 100 ohm resistor 0. 4W. Two input signals of +8 dBm give third order IM at -55dBc while two signals at 0 dBm gives IM3 at -81dBc The input transformer, TR5 in fig. 1. steps up the voltage by a factor of 2. 5 from the antenna input to the gate. The source current is routed through a small winding to provide a load on the transformer that makes the input impedance 50 ohms. The input transformer is loaded by the input capacitance of the transistor, the inductance of the transformer balances for a low Q resonance at 2. 5 MHz. By reducing the number of turns on the transformer and adding a capacitor at the input, C116 in...
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.....
