SIMPLE INDUCTANCE METER

ARRL HB CHP 25 FIG 43

Description: This is a simple project to measure the Q and inductance of coils. A low-level RF signal is generated using a LC Hartley oscillator. The RF voltage is measured across the unknown L and a calibrated capacitor that indicates the resonance of the LC combination. There is a full size calibrated dial scale to read the inductance shown in the article. The unit is built with four frequency ranges: 22.13 MHz, 7 MHz, 2.21 MHz, and 700KHz. The circuit uses (4) 2N5486 or 2N5484 JFETs and a 2N3866 transistor.


QST NOV 2005 LOW COST DDS FUNCTION GENERATOR

The TLV2472AIP is a replacement for the -IP version. A suitable part for C4 and C9 10uF is the Panasonic ECE-A1CKK100, Digi-Key PN P965-ND. This is a 16 VDC,10 uF cap. D1 - D6 should be labeled 1N4148. The PN for C6 & C7 should be BC1009CT-ND, a 47 pF capacitor. The PN for R1, R2, R3, R7 should be 20KEBK-ND. P1 should be a DB-25; Digi-Key A2045-ND might be suitable. The schematic shows the connections from header P1 to the DB-25 parallel port connector on the computer. The labels on the headers shown on the schematic (P1 - P4) are not the same as on the board. The correspondence is: P1=JP1, P2=JP4, P3=JP2, P4=JP3. NOTE THE BOARD IS DOUBLE SIDED WITH OUT PLATED THROUGH HOLES, THUS REQUIRING SOLDERING ON THE COMPONENT SIDE

 


RX NOISE BRIDGE

QST Dec87 (ARRL HB CHP25 FIG.74) (ALSO FIG.65.2)

Description: The noise bridge, sometimes referred to as Antenna noise bridge or Rx noise bridge measures the impedance of an antenna or other electrical circuits in the 1.8 to 30 MHz range. This article was originally featured in the August 1989 QST. The circuit consists of three parts: a noise generator (6.8V zener), Bridge circuit (a ferrite binocular core wound coil), and an audio source (NEE) to enhance the null detection. A receiver is required for the detector.

THE DIGITAL METER SUPPLY BY MIKE BRYCE

QST Sep01

Description: The digital meter supply is designed to power one or two LCD 3 1/2 digital panel meters. The circuits uses two LM358 IC, two 2N4401 transistors and 7810 regulator. The board measures 4"x2.5"


3.5 DIGIT DVM BY PETER KEIRLE

(2 BOARD SET)

DESCRIPTION: Details for the DVM project can be found at http://www.keirle.fsnet.co.uk/dvm.htm


LOW POWER STEP ATTENUATOR

ARRL HANDBOOK 1995 CHP 25

Description: This is the 8 step attenuator for Fox hunting or general test equipment signal attenuator with 50 ohms in/out. The pre cut circuits boards are routed and ready to solder together to assemble the housing for the attenuator, just need to add resistors and switches. The attenuator step positions are three 20 db, 10 db, 5 db, 3 db, 2 db and 1 db steps.

W6LSN says: Project takes lots of patience as to be a successful project. It is necessarily very compact. All parts supplied by FAR fit perfectly for the main housing. I had to modify the cover as the holes did not line up with the nuts no matter where I soldered them to the box. Works as Advertised!
