Music Amplifiers have always intrigued us due to their massive amplifying capabilities which completely changes the dimensions of the delivered music outputs. Fundamentally it’s the power of the amplifier that’s always on the scanner and we find folks getting too obsessed by the power rating of their procured amplifier unit. Introduction However many of us […]

RF Signal Meter Circuit
In this article I have explained the circuit details of a couple of very interesting and sensitive RF signal meters, which can be used for measuring the RF strength of the transmitted waves from the RF source without making any physical contacts with the source. Simple RF Signal Meter using IC 741 A RF signal […]
Use your PC like an Oscilloscope
As an electronics enthusiast or a hobbyist, you probably yearn for an oscilloscope to check out those elusive waveforms in your amplifier or radio. However, the cost deters you. A reasonably good oscilloscope will set you back by several hundred dollars, unless you buy a pre-owned piece or get one at the flea market. However, […]
Wheatstone Bridge Circuits Explained with Calculations
A Wheatstone Bridge circuit is commonly used to measure resistance, inductance, capacitance, and impedance. These are made up of four parts or arms that are joined in series in a diamond like bridge configuration. These four arms carry the individual components such as resistor, inductor or capacitor connected across the fur junctions. An alternating current (AC) or […]
Microamp Meter Circuit
A microamp meter or microammeter is a device that allows the user to measure extremely small current levels, in microamps, which is normally not possible to measure using conventional multimeters. A conventional panel meter or multimeter will not be able to properly measure currents of a few microamps or less. It is required to utilize […]
5 Digit Frequency Counter Circuit
This digital frequency counter will provide a direct reading of the frequency applied at its input, through a 5 digit common cathode display module. The compact frequency counter can be used for accurately counting the frequency or pulse from any intended source. Main Applications It can be also used for measuring the RPM of a […]
