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 electromagnetically radiated interferences, may be minimised by loop rotation. Where the received noise

does not degrade wanted station reception, an indoor active loop can be very rewarding. Tuned winding antennas always have a potential 6dB greater signal sensitivity, and provide a better signal to noise ratio than equally sized broadband designs; thus a much larger broadband loop area becomes necessary to better the performance of the standard 40 inch frame loop with d. m. a. , or an ATL-3. Note that the switched ATL-3 amplifier circuit will work just as well from 150kHz to 3MHz with a seven turn 40" MW box loop, by simply extending a ground connection to a centre tap at the middle of the winding. 40" loop construction details are already available from MWC reprints. ATL-3 loop windings are in the shape of a five 65cms. (26inches) sided spiral with flat top, so that they won`t bash your radio when you rotate them. Winding turns are 2mm. spaced for the 11 turn MW loop, with the centre tap 5t. in from the outside edge; the excellent 44 turn LW winding is comprised of 4 turns per eleven 2mm. spaced slots. Loop corner formers can be made from sections of unclad 0. 1 inch matrix board from Electrovalue, with the turns fixed in place with varnish or paint after winding, but before use. Do try combining your loop signal with the signal from an outdoor wire or active whip antenna. Whatever your loop gain, it can be doubled in one direction in line with the loop, with deep nulling in the opposite direction. just what UK Dxers need...
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.....
