Circuits – DARK ROOM TIMER

The timer circuit described here provides a pleasant musical tone in your darkroom at 1-second intervals.The circuit takes up very little space and can be easily converted into a metronome. Unijunction transistor (UJT) T1 functioning as a relaxation oscillator triggers the phase-shift audio oscillator circuit built around transistor T2, turning it on and off. As …

Circuits – Short Wave Transmitter

This transmitter circuit operates in shortwave HF band (6 MHz to15 MHz), and can be used for shortrange communication and for educational purposes. The circuit consists of a mic amplifier, a variable frequency oscillator, and modulation amplifier stages. Transistor T1 (BF195) is used as a simple RF oscillator. Resistors R6 and R7 determine base bias, …

Circuits – Easy To Build AC Power Meter

If your goal is to save on electricity, you must first measure the ac current flowing through your appliances. The formula for power is the product of the ac line voltage and the measured current. Presented here is a demonstration of how to build an ac power meter using a current transformer (see the figure). The …

Circuits-VHF Preamplifier using Max2633

Here is a high performance RF amplifier for the entire VHF band that can be successfully built without any special test equipment. The grounded -gate configuration is inherently stable without any neutralisation if reasonably good layout techniques are employed. The performance of the amplifier is quite good. The noise figure is below 2dB and the …
