In this article I have explained a simple circuit concept which can be used to transform an ordinary analogue audio signal into a much vibrant and crisper digital music, by adding an external random noise to the audio, which is also known as pink noise. Video dithering is a procedure for generating an image file […]

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 […]
Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) Receiver Circuits
A tuned radio frequency receiver (or TRF receiver) is a form of radio receiver which is made using a number of tuned radio frequency (RF) amplifier stages accompanied by a detector (demodulator) circuit to draw out the audio signal, along with an audio frequency amplifier for amplifying the extracted audio into a loudspeaker. This kind […]
Op Amp Preamplifier Circuits – For MICs, Guitars, Pick-ups, Buffers
In this post I have explained a variety of op amp preamplifier circuits, and there should be an appropriate layout here for almost any standard audio preamplifier application. As the name suggests itself, a preamplifier is an audio circuit which is used before a power amplifier, or between a small signal source and a power […]
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 […]
Simple Mini Audio Amplifier Circuits
In this article we are discussing a handful of simple, mini audio amplifier circuits which can be built quickly for amplifying very tiny input signals into audible speaker outputs. 1) 1 Watt Amplifier Circuit The first simple mini audio amplifier circuit works with a ‘complementary’ output stage, having a single NPN and a single PNP […]
