Simple Field Strength Meter Circuit

A simple field strength meter circuit is presented in this article, let's learn more about it's construction details.
For a radio receiver, it is often a pain to evaluate the strength of the field on which the performance of the radio is dependent.

The circuit used for this purpose is a cost effective yet useful tool to achieve performance evaluation of the radio field strength.

The extreme left of the circuit is the crystal receiver or crystal radio part of the circuit. A suitable germanium diode like the IN34 or AA119 is recommended.

A silicon diode does not achieve the performance of a germanium diode for its functions as a varactor because of its depletion layer characteristic.

The inductance can be built by 6 to 8 turns of enameled wire having a diameter of 1milimeter and a coil diameter of millimeter.

The capacitor selected is around 100picoFarrad that resonate with inductance. By adjusting the spacing of the turns, the frequency can be varied.

The second stage of the circuit employs a high impedance amplifier in the style of a JFET 2N3819 that is gated by a variable 470K resistance.

This is basically a potentiometer. By adjusting this, the sensitivity of the circuit is adjusted. This trimmer is used for achieving 0 deflection in the meter.

It is recommended to use meters of 50miliAmpere or lesser capacity.

While calibrating with different antennae, this meter is very useful. However, great performance from such a simple circuit with a cheap meter is not expected.

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.

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...
