| Hey guys I was making a common emitter Colpitts oscillator, after making it work as intended I wanted to turn it to varicap tuned clapp and ended up using the image config for the feedback network. Some friends have told me that it won't work cause the varicap it's not refered to ground, it's that true? submitted by Any_Tomato_373 to AskElectronics [link] [comments] |

1. Resistors:
Function: Limits current, divides current, creates voltage drops, adjusts voltage.
Variable Parameter: Resistance (R) - measured in Ohms (Ω).
Significance: The higher the resistance value, the lower the current through it, and vice versa.
Construction: A resistive core (carbon, metal, ceramic, etc.) coated with an insulating layer.
Operating Principle: Based on the collision of electrons with atoms in the resistive core, reducing the energy of the electrons and converting it into heat energy.
Applications: Widely used in electronic circuits, from simple to complex circuits. For example: limiting current through LEDs, dividing current in amplifier circuits, creating voltage drops for voltage regulator circuits, adjusting voltage in filter circuits...
2. Capacitors:
Function: Stores electrical energy, filters signals, blocks AC current, passes DC current.
Variable Parameter: Capacitance (C) - measured in Farads (F).
Significance: The higher the capacitance value, the greater the ability to store electrical energy, and vice versa.
Construction: Two parallel metal plates separated by an insulating dielectric (paper, ceramic, mica...).
Operating Principle: When a voltage is applied, an electric field is created between the capacitor plates, charging the capacitor plates. When the power is turned off, the electric field remains and keeps the capacitor plates charged.
Applications: Very diverse in electronic circuits, from power supply filtering to oscillator circuits. For example: filtering power for electronic circuits, generating pulses for oscillator circuits, blocking noise signals...
3. Inductors:
Function: Stores electrical energy in the form of a magnetic field, resists sudden changes in current, creates time delays.

2024.05.06 01:20 carpetlist Does TSA care if I bring my soldered breadboard projects on an airline?
I have some soldered breadboards that were a part of my project for school that I would like to take home. I am afraid but worried that TSA might take them out of my luggage out of suspicion, or if they’re in my carry on they might not let me take them through. What kinda makes it worse is one of the circuits is a battery powered 130 MHz Colpitts Oscillator so it might look like I’m trying to jam airline communications (obviously I won’t be powering the circuits but I’m just concerned about how it looks).
Anyone have advice on this? Should I put them in my luggage or carry on?

Hello all,
I need a circuit that compares two sine wave frequencies generated using oscillators (for example colpitts oscilator) (minimum 5 Khz and maximum 1Mhz) then output the difference to a buzzer or a speaker to generate the resulted tone.
For example (103 Khz - 100 Khz = 3 Khz) then the result (3 khz) to a speaker. (Generate 3khz sine wave tone).
Thanks

2024.03.20 20:58 Ok-Jello6097 Dúvida sobre oscilador Colpitts RF com componentes SMD em RF4
Hi guys, I'm working on an assignment at university in which I have to design a Colpitts oscillator for a frequency of 200MHz using SMD components.
I designed it in LTSpice and it worked, but when I mounted it on the PCB it didn't oscillate. If anyone can tell me the possible errors and how to correct them, it would help a lot.
I used kicad to design the PCB, track width 0.5mm, a fiberlaser printer on FR4 board.
NOTE: In LTSpice the transistor is wrong, in practice a BFR92p was used.
Thanks for your attention.

2024.03.07 12:50 humbagas Daily Market Review: BTC, ETH, FET, RNDR, NEAR
Bitcoin (BTC) is now facing consolidation ahead of its recent impressive pump. The chart has shown a strong uptrend with higher highs and higher lows in the last few days. The Bitcoin price is however still above the Bollinger Band SMA, which could indicate that the
is currently seeing minor bull activity. The widening of the bands suggests increased market volatility.
The Awesome oscillator has however shifted its histograms from red to green as they decrease in size suggesting a weak bullish trend. Should the AO keep up this trend, a further dip in the short term is likely. The Bitcoin price stood at $66.4K as of press time representing a 0.07% pump in the last 24 hours.

2024.03.03 09:31 InvokeMeWell Question on creating an Oscillator in the range of 20 KHz
Hello,
I want to create my own Oscilator I want to replicate something like the picture the sin wave
has freq. 1KHz and an amplitude 60Vp-p it does use a transformer in the output i presume to upconvert the voltage.
Because is very low frequency i can use also opamp.
I was thinking to try phase-shift oscillator or for fun a
Colpitts oscillator.
My question is without a transformer how much amplitude can I have from these 2 osc. and if someone knows any reference good a detailed design of
Colpitts including what transistor should use.
thank you in advance

2024.02.14 23:24 RandomOnlinePerson99 Sine VCO without "weird" parts?
Is there a way to create a voltage controlled oscillator that outputs a pure sine wave (with constant amplitude regardless of frequency) that DOES NOT use any special weird parts (like unobtainable ICs from the last century, matched transistor pairs or photoresistors and neon bulbs or things like that)?
I spent some time searching for schematics online but every single one I found uses strange parts that are impossible to get.
I want something like 20Hz to 20kHz output frequency with a control voltage of 0V to 10V.
I know how to create a variable frequency square wave oscillator but won't help here because I don't think there is a way to change a square wave into a sine wave that works over the whole required frequency range (and keeps the amplitude of the output frequency constant regardless of frequency).
Is there a way to solve this problem with just normal parts (opamps, normal BJTs or FETs, diodes, passives, ...)?

2024.02.12 18:46 kdrnic Inexpensive frequency counter as a debugging/probing tool?
I've come across these frequency counters called PLJ-8LED-something, as seen on this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWy0821JLUQ My question is what kind of things can probably be done with them or other similar frequency counters. I think they are made for tuning ham radio transmitters. I imagine adding multimeter-style probes or alligator clips to the counter and using it as a generic debugging tool.
- Could it probe the clock signal of a digital circuit and by showing the expected frequency prove the clock generator is working?
- Could it probe and correctly display the intermediate frequency of a radio receiver?
- Could it make for a very simple (maybe not accurate) L/C meter by putting up a Colpitts oscillator with a known capacitor?
At a glance it seems all those could be possible but maybe there is some caveat? The counter itself interfering with the probed circuit? Or it requiring a very strong signal at certain frequencies?

2024.01.17 18:40 Gianfilippo96 A variation of Colpitts oscillator
| This circuit (from Horowitz and Hill, II edition, section 5.18, page 299) is a variation of a Colpitts oscillator that uses a varactor to achieve tuning. This turns out to be almost identical to an oscillator in a circuit that I am studying, while the electrical tuning is not of my interest, so I am ignoring that branch for now. I can't see how this is equivalent to the Colpitts designs shown in the previous page of the book, or on-line, or on other books (like Millman's), while I can see how all those are the same, and how all they can be reduced to the general sceme given in Millman's section 17.11, I can't grasp this one: one of the capacitors or the inductor seems always in the wrong spot... Can someone enlighten me? https://preview.redd.it/ad7zw6rje1dc1.jpg?width=2153&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4c242cd628c0316fc39ddc8fc85050a820bbe6d2 submitted by Gianfilippo96 to AskElectronics [link] [comments] |

| Hi everyone, just acquired a Behringer Edge and i was wondering about the Output VCA Mode. Always get that clicky sound whe VCA Mode is set to FAST. It actually does not go away even beyond 12 o‘clock of the decay knob on vca output. I know that usually there is that sound on analog machines but i find it a little strange with those settings. But maybe there is something special with that? Does anyone experience the same with those settings.

2024.01.03 20:02 anormalearthlyman What DIYable Amp is best for my use case?
I'm sorry if this is a question you get alot :P. I cannot buy any DIY amp kits as the shipping and tax would be monumental and I am opposed to doing so as I feel I'll be missing out on some must-have building knowledge.
I have been studying tube amplifiers religiously for a few weeks now and want to start collecting parts for my first build. I want to go all out with this build. I know many people recommend starting with something small but I feel like I won't feel the drive to build my amp if I am not actively pursuing something I have a deep passion for.
Specifications:
- I am going to add a Model Fet Pre-amp to the amp. I really want it to have the power and heft of a Sunn Amplifier without the added weight.
- It has to be an amp that responds well to pedals. I love messing around with sound to get atypical noises and more experimental playing styles.
- The main quality I'm looking for is Oomph I think. An amp that works well for noise rock, industrial , shoe gaze ; massive walls of sound and effects .
- Is it possible to have this heft on one side while also having an amp with a cleaner tone thats crisp and bright? If not , I'm willing to lean in heavily heavily to the darker tonality I'm looking for.
I gravely apologize if what I'm asking for simply doesn't exist or is super naïve sounding. I'm just tired of studying tube amp theory all day and not getting the opportunity to apply it to a project I'm passionate in. Any and all help is greatly appreciated !
I've been browsing Rob Robinettes website and noticed the load line chart for the Fender AB763 blackface has a tremolo oscillator that uses a 12AX7 that has a pretty large voltage swing. Is this sort amplifier what I'm looking for?

2023.12.07 12:33 LucasBS1 Oscillator recommendation for UHF/SHF device
Hello.
.
The commercially available distance measuring RADARs and LIDARs have the price of a kidney. And I want 3 of them. So in order not to kidnap 3 people, I'll make my own.
But I'm stuck right on the beginning: an oscillator.
.
It's exactly like one of those we find on cars: 24GHz, or, the new standard, 77GHz (I prefer the former, since the higher the frequency, the harder antennas seem to be to fabricate).
All circuits on the internet (colpitts and their variaton) seem to be made to no more than 100MHz.
Is there a schematic, or crystal, or I.C., or whatever, that can make a decently strong current in that frequency ? Don't need precision, only stability.
.
And as always, the simpler, the better.
I found this ADF5901, but it doesn't feel right for this project. Plus, I have to buy it, when I have many passive components home. And to buy it, I must find it in the first place, without paying another kidney on the shipping from another country.
.
I skipped the communication classes in the college, so no problem explaining like I'm 5. Learning this area now.
.
Details: the radar is supposed to measure distance in a conic shape (not punctual, like a LASER), and reach around 10 meters. So, if a frequency different that those are important, then I accept.
.
My inspiration was this cheapass device:
CDM324 It's a doppler effect sensor, used to detect movement.
The advertisement of the one I bought said it measures distance, but I didn't ask a refund after the disappointment. Also, says the advertisement, that it works at 24GHz.
