Steve Allen hosts the ?Tonight Show? a long, long time ago, back in the black and white days of TV. I’m guessing the early 1960s. https://www.facebook.com/reel/758211690309657/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

2024-08-31 AM Transmitter, Low Power
This is an AM transmitter that this guy built. He says it’s rich in harmonics – it has no tuning nor low pass filtering and the stages are class C, no forward bias. It should have all the things used to minimize harmonics, like a low pass filter. Class C operation is used to maximize

2024-05-16 Delta-Sigma Modulator Using 555 IC And Current Source
This circuit is used for converting an analog signal into a digital pulse stream. Such things as class D audio amplifiers, servo amplifiers, A to D converters, or sending an analog signal across a fiber optic link. The Schematic and explanation here in this webpage. https://lrak.net/wiki/555_Delta-Sigma_Modulator.html The output signal is shown as audio modulated onto

2024-04-20 RCWL-0516 Microwave Doppler Motion Sensor Module Schematic KO4BB
The modules use both the RCWL-9616 and the BISS-0001 but it seems the schematics are all labeled BISS-0001. The parts values are different. He gives some good information about them. They operate at 3.5 and 3.98 GHz – the ones I have were advertised at 5 GHz. Also he shows his own version that uses a

2024-03-09 Big Clive’s Old Tungsten Roadwork Beacon – Barricade Flasher
I built this “tungsten roadwork beacon” as Clive calls it, using the parts given in my schematic (photo below). I didn’t have a 6V, 90 mA lamp, so I simulated it by using three 20 ohm, 1/4 Watt resistors in series, which gives 60 ohms and 100 mA load with 6VDC. For an indicator I

2023-11-27 RCA BFO Audio Oscillator Photos
Chuck commented about the audio oscillator being a BFO, and it reminded me that I’ve got an old RCA BFO audio oscillator stuck away in the garage. It was a cheap way of getting an audio sine wave that covered the full audio band without any switching. Nowadays it’s all done in sine and other
