This simple two IC circuit can be used for capturing and listening to frequencies in the GHz range. Receivers designed to cover frequencies as high as several gigahertz (which is many thousand MHz!) are generally difficult to find, specifically for anyone who is looking for cheap versions of these gadgets. However, it may be possible […]

Electronic Drum Sound Simulator Circuits
In this post we talk about a couple electronic drum sound simulator circuits which can be used for replicating actual drum beat sound electronically, using a few op amps and few other passive electronic components. Using Capacitor as the Sensor Instead of Piezo Conventional electronic drum kits incorporate the use of piezo disc affixed to […]
Audio Delay Line Circuit – For Echo, Reverb Effects
An audio delay line is a technique in which a given audio signal is passed through a series of digital storage stages, until the final audio output is delayed by a certain period (usually in milliseconds). When this delayed audio output is fed back to the original audio, it results in an amazingly enhanced audio, […]
4 Efficient PWM Amplifier Circuits Explained
Audio amplifiers which are designed to amplify an analogue audio signal through pulse width modulation or PWM processing and with adjustable duty cycle is known by many names including digital amplifier, Class-D amplifier, switched amplifier and PWM amplifier. (Article Contributed by: Ritu khanna) Because it can perform at high efficiencies, a Class-D amplifier has become […]
30 Watt Amplifier Circuit using Transistors
The three watt amplifier circuit discussed in the earlier post could be effectively upgraded into a 30 to 40 watt transistorized amplifier circuit, simply by adding a 2N3055 power output stage. The entire procedure for this is explained in the following article. The circuit was requested by Mr. Clifford. The requested specifications can be viewed […]
Digital Theremin Circuit – Make Music with your Hands
Named after its creator, the theremin originated in the Soviet Union in the beginning of 1920’s. This comprised of a container installed with a couple of antennas. It did not have any keyboard to play, no strings like in guitars. Rather, the theremin made use of human body capacitance to manipulate the volume and the […]
