Transistor Hum Notch Filter

The function of this circuit is similar with the hum filter in our previous circuit, but it use transistors instead of op-amps. It uses BC109 transistors, but any low noise high gain type will be suitable. This hum filter is adjustable via trimmer pots to fine tune it’s notch depth.   The figure below shows [...]

3-Band Graphic Equalizer Circuit

Unlike the 10-band graphic equalizer in our previous circuit that use a gyrator circuit, this 3-band graphic equalizer circuit uses Baxandall topology, similar with the Baxandall tone control but with additional mid frequency control. The figure below shows the schematic diagram of the circuit.

The operational amplifier employ an LF351 IC chip, but any low noise [...]

LM1830 Single Chip Water Level Sensor Circuit: Basically A Conductive Liquid Level Sensor

For any electrically conductive liquid level measurement, this single chip circuit is very compact and simple. This circuit is an ac excited fluid level sensor, which uses alternating current to provide biasing for the sensor probe to avoid electrolysis of the probes.  This ac excitation makes the sensing probe has longer lifetime. This circuit can [...]

Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO): A Simple Metal Detector Circuit

Metal Detector Circuit Topology
One of the simplest method of metal detecting is by beat frequency oscillator. Basically, the circuit consist of two balanced oscillator. One oscillator provides the reference signal, and other oscillator is acting as the detector element. The reference oscillator’s frequency is fix, while the detector oscillator is variable depending on the presence [...]

Radio Modem Circuit

This radio modem is popular for amateur radio packet application. This radio modem is powered by the data and control lines, so it need no additional power supply. Just plug to your standard RS232 port and this modem will work. As seen in our previous modem circuit, this radio modem circuit also uses TCM3105 modem [...]
