In this article I will comprehensively explain about the early point contact diodes, and their modern versions which are Germanium diodes. Here I have explained the following facts: Brief history of point contact diodes Construction of point contact diodes and modern Germanium diodes Advantages of point contact diodes or Germanium diodes Applications of Germanium Diodes […]

Bipolar Transistor (BJT) – Construction, and Operational Details
A bipolar transistor or a BJT is a 3 terminal semiconductor device which is able to amplify or switch small signal input voltages and currents to significantly larger output signal voltages and currents. How Bipolar Junction Transistor BJTs Evolved During 1904–1947, the vacuum tube was unquestionably the electronic device of great curiosity and growth. In 1904, […]
FM Wireless Microphone Circuit – Construction Details
A wireless microphone is a portable electronic microphone which allows the user to transmit its voice to an amplifier without any wire connection, hence the name wireless microphone. Making a wireless mic at home can be real fun, here I have explained one such simple project which can be used for recording and paying back […]
Arduino based DC Voltmeter Circuit – Construction Details and Testing
In this post, I will show how to construct a DC voltmeter using Arduino where the readings are displayed in 16×2 LCD. The proposed voltmeter design can read up to 30V with tolerance of +/- 0.5 volt. We are going to see how this setup functions and explore other possibilities we can accomplish […]
