In this article I have explained a few high frequency RF converter and preamplifier circuit designs which can be used for amplifying or enhancing the reception of an existing RF receiver. All the RF amplifier circuits provided below are intended to be placed near an existing amateur radio receiver or a matching radio set in […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Making a Center Speaker Box C80 for Surround Sound Systems
A Hi-Fi surround sound system (5.1) typically consists of 4 speakers at the corners of the room, and a center speaker just below or above the TV or the video system. This center speaker becomes the main speaker box of the surround sound since it is responsible for delivering the high quality voice output from […]
Touch Volume Control Circuit
This touch volume control circuit has two touch pads which enable the user to increase or decrease the volume of an audio amplifier simply by touching the relevant touch pads. The advantages of this solid-state volume control are: very long life due to the absence of any wear and tear, quick and easy finger touch […]
How to Design MOSFET Power Amplifier Circuits – Parameters Explained
In this post I have explained various parameters that must be considered while designing a MOSFET power amplifier circuit. We also analyze the difference between bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and MOSFET characteristics and understand why MOSFETS are more suitable and efficient for power amplifier applications. Contributed by Daniel Schultz Overview When designing a power amplifier […]
Listen to UHF and SHF (GHz) Bands with this Simple Circuit
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 […]
Extended High Bass Effect from Small Speaker Box [Cross-Over-Filter]
Bigger speaker boxes produce proportionately higher bass effect, this fact is know to all of us. However, bigger boxes are not only expensive, they can be cumbersome and bulky. How about having the very same high bass effect, that a bigger box would provide, from a much smaller and compact speaker enclosure? Sounds strange right? […]
