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 […]

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? […]
Audio Dithering Circuit for Enhanced Crisper Music
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 […]
