Single Chip Theremin Circuit

This schematic diagram show a single chip Theremin circuit.  Theremin is an electronic music instrument which sense hand movement to control the tones/frequency.  This Theremin circuit uses two separate Colpitts LC oscillators to produce a beat frequency. The frequencies of  two Colpitts LC oscillators are mixed and then rectified. This rectification  demodulate the mixed signal to get the beat frequency […]
