Photovoltaic transducers has been widely used in medical, consumer, scientific instrumentation, and industrial applications. Photovoltaic sensors is a solid-state devices and available for wide range of wavelength response, cover from infrared, visible, and ultraviolet spectrum. This characteristic make this type of transducer applicable in diverse jobs such as colorimetry, chemical spectral analysis, non-contact thermometry, non-invasive [...]

Feedback in public address amplifier is something that should be avoided. The ideal solution is by adjusting the microphone and the speaker position, but it’s not always possible in many situation. Using frequency shifter to change the output frequency 10Hz lower than the input frequency can solve the problem, but it’s too expensive for [...]

Precision accelerometers needs inverting mode amplifier since they are usually charge-outputĀ devices. This amplifier convert charges into voltage output. The circuit below is an example of accelerometer with DC servo. The charge from the transducer is converted to a voltage by C1, which should equal the transducer capacitance plus the input capacitance of [...]

Hydrophone is similar with microphone, except that it is used in underwater environment. Off course a hydrophone can be used to pick up sound in air, but it will be less sensitive since it’s mechanical-acoustical properties is design to match the acoustical impedance of water. The schematic shows the circuit of a low [...]

This is a simpleĀ FET Cascode Video Amplifier circuit. This circuit has some features, they are reduction of feedback to almost zero and very low input loading. Here is the circuit: This circuit uses 2N3823 because it has high Yfs and low capacitance. RL and load capacitance limits bandwidth of the amplifier. [Source: [...]
