BFO Metal Detectors


This metal detector circuit consists of two oscillators, both working at about 465 kHz. One uses a transformer and the other uses an inductor which is the search coil LI. The oscillators are coupled through a capacitor 10 pF. The circuits DE metal detector is a BFO (beat frequency oscillator), a tone beat produced if the two oscillators are working together through the diode is detected and sent to the audio amplifier.

The oscillator coil is tuned by a variable capacitor of 10-365 pf variable. The search coil is made of wire with 22 turns between 24 and 36 AWG enamel junction to the center. The wire should be wound on a form of about 6 "χ 6" and the phones must be high impedance.

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream
