DC converter circuit

This dc converter raise a dc voltage at almost a double value and is useful for raising the output voltage of solar batteries up to the required level for charging acid or NiCad batteries. It can deliver up to 3Amps. The measurement values with 2A load are shown in the bottom table.
In this article we assume that the input voltage is 12V and the output is 22V. IC1a, R2 and C5 build a square wave generator. This signal is available in reversed form at IC1d output.

Quality FM transmitter circuit

This house FM transmitter for your stereo or any other amplifier provides a good signal strength up to a distance of 500 meters with a power output of about 200 mW. It works off a 9V battery.
The audio-frequency modulation stage is built around transistor BF494 (T1), which is wired as a VHF oscillator and modulates the audio signal present at the base. Using preset VR1, you can adjust the audio signal level.
Audio FM transmitter circuit diagram

quality fm transmitter circuit schematic

The VHF frequency is decided by coil L1 and variable capacitor VC1. Reduce the value of VR2 to have a greater power output.
The next stage is built around transistor BC548 (T2), which serves as a Class-A power amplifier. This stage is inductively coupled to the audio-frequency modulation stage. The antenna matching network consists of variable capacitor VC2 and capacitor C9. Adjust VC2 for the maximum transmission of power or signal strength at the receiver.
If you design a good pcb layout you can use it as a car fm transmitter.
For frequency stability, use a regulated DC power supply and house the transmitter inside a metallic cabinet. For higher antenna gain, use a telescopic antenna in place of the simple wire. Coils L1 and L2 are to be wound over the same air core such that windings for coil L2 start from the end point for coil L1. Coil winding
details are given below:
L1: 5 turns of 24 SWG wire closely wound over a 5mm dia. air core
L2: 2 turns of 24 SWG wire closely wound over the 5mm dia. air core
L3: 7 turns of 24 SWG wire closely wound over a 4mm dia. air core
L4: 5 turns of 28 SWG wire on an intermediate-frequency transmitter (IFT) ferrite core

Touch volume control circuit

Touch controls are not only used to switch devices on or off. They can also be used to control different functions. One good example is the TV remote control. If it is very important to keep the activated functions for a long period of time, it is always better to use a digital memory system. However, if small drifts in the control status is acceptable, a simple analog design can be used to memorize the status.

The touch volume controller is one such analog memory touch control switch. The main function centers mostly on the IC1. It is an opamp configured as an integrator with a high impedance input. If sensor 1 is touched, the capacitor C2 charges through the skin resistance and voltage at the output of IC1 decreases linearly until it reaches zero volt.
Touching the other sensor (sensor 2) will produce the opposite result: the voltage at the pin 6 of IC1 will increase linearly until it reaches the power supply level. The special function of this touch volume control circuit is that after moving your finger away from the sensor(s), the output voltage of IC1 stays at that level.
This voltage value is memorized by C2. This analog memory however has a problem in long time periods: The voltage value drifts away by 2 % per hour due to the unavoidable current leak in the capacitor. To improve this situation, it is highly recommended to put this circuit in a moisture proof box.
This touch volume controller circuit has a wide application range. It can be used in devices where a potentiometer can be controlled through voltage levels. The touch sensors can alse be replaced with conventional push button switches. The capactiors C1 and C4 are very important in the circuit: they prevent the IC1 from oscillating. Simultaneously closing both switches will not damage the circuit.

88-108MHz-wideband-power-amplifier-One wideband fm power amplifierdesigned with MRF 171A MosFet transistor. The output rf power is somewhere around 40W , the gains is 20dB ( 100 X ) . The input rf power is 400mW.

Wideband UHF Amplifier

This UHF wideband amplifier(Ultra High Frequency amplifier) has a total gain of 10 to 15 dB in the 400 – 850 MHz domain frequency so it can be used where the tv signal is weak.
For this UHF antenna tv amplifier to work correctly you need to cut the components pins as short as possible. C1, C2, C6, C7 are SMD type ( surface mounted ). This antenna tv amplifier or uhf wideband amplifier need to be build inside of a metal box and then connected close to thetv antenna.

The power supply is a simple 12V stabilized source. The antenna tv amplifier can be connected directly to the power supply thru coaxial cable of the tv antenna but you need a 10 – 100uH coil on the alimentation line. The tv set will be connected to the uhf amplifier thru a small coupling capacitor.
Adjusting is easy, just bring the P1 to the middle and then adjust it untill you obtain the best tv image quality.

UHF indicator

UHF indicator or wavemeter is some kind of device that measures frequencies and determines LC circuit frequecy resonance . This device does not need to radiate.
The oscillator is build with T1 and T2 (2 x BF494) and can be adjusted with C1 and Lx. The Lx coil is connected outsite of the metal box and has to be changeble handiest.
If Lx is inductively coupled with another LC coil wich has the same frequency as the wavemeter, then will extract energy from oscillator coil, this will result in a voltage reduction.
With Lx = 2 turns 1mm (SWG19) over 15mm, the ultra high frequency indicator – wavemeter frequency cover is 50 … 150 MHz.
BF494 transition frequency is 150Mhz, if you want tomeasure higher frequencieschange it with BFR 91 wich has an Ft of 250MHz.
If you want to use thisuhf indicatoras anabsobtion wavemeterorrf field measurementunplug from the battery, in this case you have to look for a minimum value on the multimeter.

Dynamic mic preamplifier circuit

This mic preamp uses the low noise IC uA739. The circuit is an example of how a good preamplifier can be designed for dynamic microphones. The IC houses two identical integrated preamp circuits. The second preamp is used in identical manner for the second channel of the stereo microphone.

Diagram bellow shows the pin numbers (in brackers) for the second identical channel. All external parts are identical to those shown in the schematic.
The non-inverting input is biased at about 50% of the power supply. This bias voltage is set by the voltage divider circuit R1 and R4. The point between R1 and R4 is used commonly for both channels.
The unwanted HF signals coming from the microphone are filtered out by the RC-circuit composed of R3/C4. Frequency compensation is done by the R7/C6 circuit. The values of R7 and C6 were designed to avoid oscillation at the amplification level of 100.
The input impedance is about 47K. This means that a normal dynamic microphone gets connected to a high impedance preamp which in turn produces good results. The output impedance is about several hundred ohms.
THe maximum peak-peak output voltage is about several volts lower than the supplied power. The frequency range is from 20Hz to 20KHz (-3dB). The upper cutoff frequency is 80KHz when the low-pass filter is removed from the circuit. The IC shown can be replaced with TBA231 or SN76131 without changind the external circuit.

Single Supply 16-Bit ADC Driver
This circuit shows the LT6203 driving an LTC1864 unipolar 16-bit, 250ksps A/D converter. The bottom half of the LT6203 is in a gain of 1 and buffers the 0V negative fullscale signal VLOW into the negative input of the LTC1864. The upper half of the LT6203 is in a gain of 10, referenced to the buffered voltage VLOW and drives the positive input of the LTC1864. The input range of the LTC1864 is 0V to 5V so for best results the input range of VIN is from VLOW, about 0.4V to about 0.82V. Figure 4 shows an FFT obtained with a 10.1318kHz (coherent) input waveform, with no windowing or averaging. Spurious free dynamic range is seen to be 100dB.

The LTC4071 allows simple charging of Li-Ion/Polymer batteries from very low current, intermittent or continuous charging sources. A near-zero current low battery latching disconnect function protects even the lowest capacity batteries from deep discharge and potentially irreparable damage. The 550nA to 50mA operating current makes charging possible from previously unusable sources. With its low operating current the LTC4071 is well suited to charge low capacity Li-Ion or thin film batteries in energy harvesting applications. The unique architecture of the LTC4071 allows for an extremely simple battery charger solution, requiring just one external resistor.
