VHF-UHF Antenna Amplifier (Booster) 40-500MHz
This amplifier has VHF (very high frequency) and UHF (ultra high frequency) response, you can use it for receiver booster for example. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The current consumption is very low, under 20 mA for 14V voltage supply. Lower current consumption can be achieved if we use 10V power supply, …[Read More]
Automatic AF-RF Probe
Using this automatic probe, you can see measure both audio signal (AF) and radio signal (RF). If audio signal is being measured, the path of the signal is via C1. Audio signal can’t pass the C2 since the capacitance is very small and having very high impedance for audio frequency signal. If you measure high …[Read More]
Phase-locked loop is very common in telecommunication, control, and other electronic application. PLL can be used to demodulate FM signal, produce a stable clock signal, or to recover a synchronization signal from noise. Many single chip integrated circuits (IC) are produced for this PLL system, and LM359 is one of them. This PLL is capable …[Read More]
Shunt Series Pair Wideband Amplifier
This is a Shunt Series Pair Wideband Amplifier circuit. This circuit has four feedback loops, they are two emitters feedback, shunt-shunt feedback and an AC feedback loop(series-shunt). This is a very stable circuit and can be used for wideband amplifiers and low gain. This circuit requires +12 supply that restrict the “headroom” of the second …[Read More]
Complementary Pair Vertical Deflection Pre-Amp
This is Complementary Pair Vertical Deflection Pre-Amplifier circuit. This circuit is modification circuit of Vertical Deflection Pre-Amplifier for 100MHz scope. This circuit remove few resistor-capacitor combination from the original circuit. That components can be removed because they tweaked the response of the amplifier at high frequencies, so no problem. The second two transistors receive +2V …[Read More]
2.4 GHz Field Strength Meter Circuit with Optional Amplifier
Field strength meter is a “must have” equipment if you’re dealing with radio transmitter electronics. Here is one example of this kind of circuit that works for 2.4 GHz band: An optional amplifier can be inserted after the rectification, so it can be used to boost small signal. This circuit works only for short …
Simple Field Strength Meter
The strength of a radiated signal from a transmitter is measured by this circuit. It is commonly used by model airplane builders to check whether their transmitter are really transmitting the radio signal. One can quickly determine whether the problem lies on the transmitter or the receiver module using this FS meter. The only active …[Read More]
