PEAK_PROGRAM_DETECTOR

PEAK_PROGRAM_DETECTOR
This circuit will allow a multimeter to display the positive or negative peaks of an incoming signal. A 741, IC1, is used in the noninverting mode with R1 defining the input impedance. D1 or D2 will conduct on a positive or negative peak, charging C2 until the inverting input is at the same dc level as the incoming peak. This level will maintain the voltage until a higher peak is detected, then this will be stored by C2. Another 741, IC2, prevents loading by the multimeter. Connected in the noninverting mode as a unity gain buffer, output impedance is less than 1 Ω. This circuit has a useful frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz at ± 1 dB. High linearity is ensured by placing the diodes in the feedback loop of IC1, effectively compensating for the 0.6 V bias that these components require.   (View)

FREQUENCY_COUNTER

Published:2009/7/9 22:59:00 Author:May

FREQUENCY_COUNTER
The output frequency from IC pin 3 is determined by the voltage input to pin 6. A standard frequency counter can be used to measure voltages directly over a limited range from 0 to 5 V. In this circuit, the 555 is wired as an astable multi ibrator. Resistor R2 determines the output frequency when the input to the circuit (the voltage measured by the voltage probes) is zero. R4 is a scaling resistor that adjusts the output frequency so that a change in the input voltage of 1 V will result in a change in the output frequency of 10 Hz. That will happen when the combined resistance of R3 and R4 is 1.2 MΩ. To calibrate short the voltage probes together, adjust R2 until the reading on the frequency counter changes to 00 Hz. Then, use the voltage probes to measure an accurate 5-V source and adjust R4 until the frequency counter reads 50 Hz.   (View)

AUDIO_MILLIVOLTMETER

AUDIO_MILLIVOLTMETER
Capacitor C4 couples the output of U1 to a simple attenuator, which is used to provide a loss of 0 dB, 20 dB, or 40 dB, depending on the setting of range switch S1. The circuits sensitivity is 10-V rms for fullscale deflection, so the attenuator gives additional ranges of 100-mV and 1-V rms. The attenuator output is connected through capacitor C5 to common-emitter amplifier Q1, which has a high-voltage gain of 40 dB.To get linear scaling on the meter, we have to use an active-rectifier circuit built around U2. That IC is connected so that its noninverting input is biased to the 0-V bus via R7. Capacitor C6 couples the output of Q1 to the noninverting input of U2; C7 is the compensation capacitor for U2.The voltage gain of U2 is set by the difference in resistance between the output and the inverting input, and between the inverting input and the ground bus. One resistance is made up of the diode-bridge rectifier D1 through D4, the other by resistor R8. This circuit has a nearly flat frequency response to about 200 kHz.   (View)

VOLTAGE_MONITOR

VOLTAGE_MONITOR
If the battery voltage exceeds about 11 V, current flows through R1, D1, and R2. The voltage produced as a result of current flow through R2 is sufficient to bias transistor Q1 into conduction. That places the collector voltage of Q1 virtually at ground. Therefore, Q2, driven fromthe collector of Q1, is cut off, LED1 and current-limiting resistor R4 are connected in the collector circuit of Q2. With Q2 in the cut-off state, the LED does not light. Should Q1's base voltage drop below approxi-mately 0.6 V. Q1 turns off. biasing Q2 on and illuminating LED1 to indicate that the battery voltage has fallen below the 11 V threshold level.   (View)

SENSITIVE_RF_VOLTMETER

Published:2009/7/9 22:37:00 Author:May

SENSITIVE_RF_VOLTMETER
This schematic shows a peak-reading diode voltmeter driven by two stages of amplification. A 100-μF capacitor provides a fairly large time constant, which results in satisfactory meter damping. The limited differential output voltage coupled with an overdamped meter prevents most needle pinning when you select an incorrect range position, or make other errors. An SPST toggle switch selects additional series resistance. This X2 function gives some more overlap of the sensitivity ranges. The resistance values shown are correct for use with a 100-μA meter with 1500-Ω internal resistance.   (View)

ACOUSTIC_DOPPLER_MOTION_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/9 22:25:00 Author:May

ACOUSTIC_DOPPLER_MOTION_DETECTOR
A high-frequency audio signal (15 to 25 kHz) generated by U1 is fed to buffer Q1 and SPKR1. A por-tion is fed to balanced mixer U2. Received audio picked up by SPKR2 (used as a microphone) is amplifted by Q2 and fed to U2. When sound is reflected from a moving object, the Doppler effect will cause an apparent shift in frequency. U2 produces a signal equal to the frequency difference. This is coupled via C16 and gain control R23 to amplifier U3, where the beat note is heard in SPKR3.   (View)

UHF_MOTION_DETECTOR

The UHF motion detector operates on the Doppler radar principle. Q1 is an oscillator that creates a adiated signal. An object in the radiated field reflects some of this energy back to the detector. If the ect is moving, the reflected signal will have a different frequency because of Doppler shift.Q1 is an oscillator coupled to a small (8-cm) antenna. This antenna also receives the reflected signal. D1 acts as a mixer and produces a beat note of frequency that is equal to the difference in reflected nd radiated signal. Q2 amplifies this signal and couples it to comparator/detector IC1A and IC1B. The utput can continue on to an alarm, relay, lamp,etc.   (View)

OVER_UNDER_VOLTAGE_MONITOR

OVER_UNDER_VOLTAGE_MONITOR
Any potential from 1 to 15 V can be monitored with this circuit. Two lamps alert any undesirable variation. The voltage differential from lamp turn-on to turn-off is about 0.2 V at any setting. High and low set points are independent of each other. The SCRs used in the circuit should be the sensitive gate type. R3 must be experimentally determined for the particular series of SCRs used. This is done by adjusting R3 to the point where the undervoltage lamp turns on when no signal is present at the SCR2 gate. Any 15-V segment can be monitored by putting the zener diode. D1. in series with the positive input lead. The low set-point voltage will then be the zener voltage plus 0.8 V.   (View)
