Microwave Power Meter #2 2008-03-22 17:26:06 Some remarksThe input circuit determines the frequency characteristics of the meter. When using Schottky diodes like 1SS99 or HP5082/2800 and a 'microwave' design of the input circuit (C_in: use a smd type, 50 ohm terminator: use 2 smd resistors of 100 Ohm), proper earth etc, a reasonably flat frequency characteristic up to 1.5 GHz is easy to obtain. When the input C (C_in) is reduced to about 20 pF, and BAT14 diodes are used as the detector, proper measurements up to 3.5 GHz (+/- 1 dB) can be obtained. In this case the meter will also detect 10 GHz signals, but the frequency characteristic (above 3.5 GHz) of the input circuit is far from flat, so no real power measurement can be done on these frequencies. As an experiment C_in was reduced to 0.68 pF and the diodes used are BAT14. Power ca Read more:Meter
Wideband Amplifer 470-860 MHz For TV Transmitter #2 2008-03-22 17:14:40 MECHANICAL MACHINING OF THE HEATSINKThe raised edges at the top side of the heatsink have been removed because the printed circuit board has a width of 113 mm (see Fig.3). To fit the heatsink to the printed-circuit board the following machinings have been carried out:Rectangular holes of 2.8 mm deep have been mould in the heatsink because the transistor leads have to be soldered on the printed-circuit board. Also it was necessary to make avings of 4 mm wide and 0.6 mm deep at the positions of the straps on the printed-circuit board. The transistors have been fastened with M 2.5 screws in the heatsink (see Fig.4). To achieve that the printed-circuit board lays tight to the heatsink also savings have been made in the heatsink on the spots of the 8 rivets through the printed-circuit board. Fo Read more:Wideband

Microwave Homemade Outdoor Antenna 2.4 GHz #2 2008-03-22 17:01:42 If the inner wire is made from rod it is good idea to drill axially a 3 mm hole on the end of it so the rod can be solder firmly to the inner tap of the N connector. The length of the rod becomes about L/4, but it is better first to leave it longer and cut it later after the parts are first pre-assembled.The copper conduit must be split with a metal saw as accurately as possible and deburred with a file. The end of the split conduit is then fastened to the centre of the pan. It is not possible to solder it directly to aluminium but we made a flange from tinned steel sheet to same dimensions as the flange of the N connector. In the middle of the flange is drilled a hole equal the outer dia of the conduit and four 3.5 mm holes as in the N connector. The one end of the split conduit is then s Read more:Antenna

Audio Video Distribution Amplifier 2008-04-20 17:39:02 With the amount of equipment in home entertainment centers today the need to be able to vary the gain of the audio or video signal is needed. I found this particular circuit helpful when used in conjunction with the Universal Descrambler and a Stabilizer circuit I built for making copies of video tapes. It not only allowed me the ability to fine tune the video strength it also helped me increase the recorded audio which typically becomes poor when making tape copies.This circuit is an audio video distribution amplifier that splits to other channel for audio and video. Circuit operation is straight forward for amplifier circuits. The second channel for the audio amplifier is made up of the same components except the other half of IC1 is used. Pin 6 & 5 are inputs and 7 is the output. Read more:Audio

Telemetry Transmitter 2008-04-20 17:04:27 Telemetry or "remote measurement" is a highly automated communications process by which measurements are made and other data collected at remote, inaccessible or dangerous places, and then relayed by a telemetry transmitter to receiving stations for display, monitoring, and recording. The original telemetry systems were termed "supervisory" because they were used to monitor electric power distribution. Communication channels form a major part of any telemetry system, as it involves measurement of the transmission of data over various mediums.Telemetry transmitter is the instrument used for recording the readings of an instrument and transmitting them by radio or wireless frequencies. Technically, when relaying data, it is necessary for the transmitter to identify the data item correspondin Read more:Transmitter

They are generally used in designing, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing electronic or electroacoustic devices; though they often have artistic uses as well.There are many different types of signal generators, with different purposes and applications (and at varying levels of expense); in general, no device is suitable for all possible applications.General purpose signal generatorsFunction generatorsA function generator is a device which produces simple repetitive waveforms.

Categories of Quartz Crystal Oscillators 2008-04-20 12:21:04 Basic Technology of Quartz Crystal
OscillatorsQuartz crystal oscillator is a timing device consisting of quartz crystal resonator and an oscillation circuit to generate an output waveform at specified frequency. It can be classified into four main categories based on its typical applications.XO - Crystal OscillatorTemperature Compensated Crystal OscillatorThe device has temperature compensation circuit to suppress output frequency deviation caused by surrounding temperature. That is, e.g. the output signal from a temperature sensor (e.g., a thermistor) is used to generate a correction voltage that is applied to a variable reactance (e.g., a varactor) in the crystal network. The reactance variations compensate for the crystal's F vs. T characteristic. Analog TCXO can provide about a 20X Read more:Categories

compensated crystal oscillators (TXCO) typically employ a thermistor network to generate a correction voltage which reduces the frequency variation over temperature. The correction voltage is usually applied to a varactor diode in the crystal circuit such that the crystal frequency may be varied by a small amount.

Electronic Fax Circuit 2008-05-01 19:27:37 You can build the electronic fax circuit below to cut wear and tear on your fax machine while saving power. If your fax machine has a dedicated phone line, the circuit intercepts the incoming ring signal and powers up the fax machine in time to receive the fax. It then turns off the fax machine after a predetermined time and awaits the next incoming fax. A relay in the line-cord circuit of the machine provides the turn-on and -off functions. If you build the fax saver in a small, plastic, outlet-type box, you can plug the fax machine into the box and wire the phone line in parallel with the machine's phone line.The electronic fax circuit incorporates protection against phone-line transients and draws its power from the normal 48V dc on the phone line; you thus need to exercise care in rela Read more:Electronic

What Is Satellite Telemetry 2008-05-03 15:34:14 Transmitters, also called PTTs (Platform transmitter terminals) are attached to the animal whose long distance movements are to be studied. Once they are turned on, the transmitters send high frequency signals which are received by polar orbiting weather satellites. ARGOS, a French company, has equipment on board these satellites for tracking animal movements.The transmissions are first decoded to identify the transmitter, each of which has a unique code and then the position of the transmitter is calculated. The data is then downloaded by ARGOS. Once the data is received, the latitudes and longitudes can be plotted on a map and the migratory routes of the animals can be traced. The data is classified by ARGOS depending on the quality of the data received by the satellite. LC 1, 2 and 3 a Read more:Satellite

Microwave Power Dividers 2008-05-06 16:05:30 Power dividers and combiners are used in microwave frequencies because of the different behavior of circuits. In microwave frequencies, the modeling of the circuits are different from the expected lumped model. Therefore, power dividers in microwave frequencies are not just resistive power dividers as in the low frequency or DC model.The important issues while using power dividers, are the specifications or properties of the dividers. In microwave frequency applications, for example power can be reflected from the output ports. Then to avoid the reflected power expected power divider should satisfy the maximum power transfer theory, which says the impedance of the load should be the complex conjugate of the impedance seen from the load end when load is not connected. This is called "matchi
