Flame Detector With Platinum-Rhodium Thermocouple

In furnace operation, it is necessary to make sure that the fuel or gas is ignited properly by detecting the flame. If there’s no flame detected, the situation can be dangerous if the furnace is flooded with explosive gas, so the fuel/gas supply valve should be closed automatically to avoid catastrophic disaster.  A thermocouple can be use to detect flame, […]

AGC (Compressor) Speech Processor

This is a speech processor circuit that can be used in communication radio circuit. This circuit consist of two sections, they are amplification and compression or dipping. The combination of these processing will improve the  SSB communication intelligibility and provide higher average level while avoiding clipping. The 100K pot is used to adjust the compression degree, as well as adjusting […]
