Building a practical and usable direct conversion receiver for the 40 m CW band is not as simple as it might appear. Broadcast station signals from the adjacent 41 m band, will easily overload most direct conversion mixer designs with their unwanted (and.... -
Before World War II the FM radio band was just below 50 Mc. Read all about it. If you have such a radio, you might want to build this converter. It will let your old set receive the modern FM band (88 to 108 Mc.). This design is based on an article I.... -
The IC has an FLL (frequency-locked-loop) structure. The filtered output of the FM discriminator frequency-modulates the local oscillator to provide negative-feedback modulation. The result is compression of the signal at the output of the mixer. Thus, the.... -

This version sports a 2nd audio amplifier stage at Q3. The output level with this version is sufficient to drive a crystal headphone to a comfortable volume. The "crystal" headphone is like those used on ye olde crystal radios. A "Walkman" type headphone is.... -
This is a simple RF receiver mainly for low-distance digital radio receiver application. The analog output of this circuit should be connected to a schmitt-trigger signal conditioning circuit with a proper value capacitor (from collector of T3). L1 for 27Mhz.... -
The tuned circuit consists of a variable capacitor and fixed air spaced coil. For the coil, I wound between 10 and 20 turns of wire on an empty tube of around 1.5 inches diameter. The turns were spaced so that the overall length was around 3 inches. The.... -
Most experienced amateurs know that SSB (single side band) reception requires a receiver fitted with a product detector or BFO (beat frequency oscillator) to reinsert the missing carrier. They also know that such receivers command significantly higher prices.... -
The LT1328, in the MS8 and SO-8 packages, contains all the necessary circuitry to convert current pulses from an external photodiode to a digital TTL output while rejecting unwanted lower frequency interference. The LT1328 plus fi ve external components is.... -

This amplifier has about 20dB of gain, bandwidth of 100MHz and noise figure of about 7dB. The output transformer is 8 turns bifilar wound on a ferrite core. Use a medium power UHF transistor 2N5109, 2N3866, 2N4427 or similar. The transistor will need a small.... -
The AM signal is captured by the antenna , 10 mt long horizontal wire, WELL insulated from earth (I mean distant, to lower the stray capacitance coupling with ground which will adsorb some signal ). The Inductor and capacitor forms a resonator, that will.... -
The small single turn magnetic loop (SSTML) antenna consists of a single winding inductor, about 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter, and a tuning capacitor. A second loop, which is one fifth of the diameter of the large loop, is connected to the feedline and this.... -
The coil is about 25 turns #28 wire on a T-44-6 core, tapped at about 5 turns. I'm too lazy to open my VFO and count it for you -- besides, you'll probably have to tweak it yourself with your available components. Once the turns are squeezed to the right....
