Noise level measured into 75ohm 3.1kHz BW using Siemens D2006 level meter: -80dBU (77.5mV)
from zero to 1MHz and drops 3dB on 17MHz. Decrease the first coupling capacitor (68nF) to 10nF
to increase the lower limit to 50kHz. The amplifier is copied from one of LA7MI's constructions,
combined with a general audio amplifier. A noise level was needed to test vintage receivers and
requirement was not beyond 10MHz, but it seems that some further bandlimiting circuit could well be
used, particularly since I am not interested in noise spectre below 200kHz.
Picture: Zenerdiode connected (E-B junction) MPS918 at left side and the other devices follow as
on the circuit diagram. The component values were first calculated, but I used the components which
was closest, but it seems to cause no problem because of the heavy DC feedback. Reducing first
emitter resistor (from 47 to 22W) to the half value will increases the output by 3dB on the lowest frequencies.

The 2nd version built on tinned iron plate, output is measured using Siemens D2006 selective level
meter to -66dBU 75W (3.1kHz BW), and 30mV into 50W using LA7MI broadband voltmeter
(described further down this page). Suppose this is quite high level and I am not sure if it is worth
increasing it further since the main task is to check surplus receivers. Level on 10MHz has dropped
by 2dB.
The noise generators were housed in NERA surplus boxes, and the 2nd room is not used.
Have kept the conhex connectors since they are free and available in very large quantities as well as
different cablelengths with connectors.
It is some some minor changes of components for the two different versions. It increases the gain by 3dB,
without any noticable change of frequency response, but the only measurable difference is that the version
has 3dB, so it seems no problem to copy the circuits, the only importance is to choose a device with 6v e-b
breakdown voltage. The box measures 100x80x30mm. White Noise generator with MSA0304 booster amplifier. The picture shows the 1st
version noise generator which has -68dBU 75 ohm o/p (3.1kHz BW), while the 2nd
has -66dBU
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.....
