SQUELCH_ACTUATED_MOBILE_REPEATER

Published:2009/7/17 9:45:00 Author:Jessie

Thyratrons serve as rectifiers in transmitter power supply to avoid repeater malfunctions caused by relays. When incoming signal opens receiver squelch, thyratrons conduct and provide d-c power for transmitter. Under standby conditions, flip-flop keeps thyratrons nonconducting. When relaxation oscillator is activated by squelch tube voltages, flip-flop reverses and applies pulses to thyratrons to make them conduct. This prevents transmitter from being activated by receiver failure.-L. G. Sands, Design Trends in Mobile Radio Repeaters, Electronics, 32:47, p 82-84.   (View)

LOUDSPEAKER_PHASING

Published:2009/7/10 6:18:00 Author:May

Used to determine correct phasing of loudspeakers, microphones, amplifiers, and audio lines in complex stereo systems. Transmitter input feeds sawtooth waveform into stereo input jack of one channel, and receiver unit having microphone input and zero-center meter output is held in front of each loudspeaker in turn for same channel. Components are correctly phased when meter deflects in same direction for all loudspeakers. Procedure is then repeated for other channel. Saw-tooth waveform is generated by Analog Devices AD537 JD voltage-to-frequency converter. Microphone can be that used with portable cassette recorder. 741 opamp IC1 with gain of 200 feeds dual peak detector D1-D2. Filtered DC signals are detected ramp and detected spike, with spike overriding ramp. Resulting DC level is amplified by 741 opamp having gain of 10, for driving meter. Microphones to be phased are plugged into J1 and connections noted for giving correct meter deflection. J2 is used for phasing amplifiers, lines, and other audio components. Article covers calibration and use.-C. Kitchin, Build an Audio Phase Detector, Audio, Jan. 1978, p 54 and 56-57.   (View)

TRIODE_VARIABLE_RESISTANCE_THRESHOLD_CONTROL_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/17 9:17:00 Author:Jessie

Passes only signals above predetermined positive and negative threshold value, for suppression of audio bockground noise. When V2 is cut off, threshold is at highest value, corresponding to off position of switch. With V2 conducting, threshold will be low and practically all signals appear unclipped at output, corresponding to on position of switch. Provides stable, nontransient switching, independent of changes in tube characteristics.-W. E. Earle, A-C Threshold Converts to Switch, Electronics, 31:1, p 96-99.   (View)
