VHF/UHF TV Modulator

The electronic circuit is a TV modulator that is really no more than a transmitter. It is a very small transmitter, admittedly, but none the less that is what it is. What does a modulator actually do? In general -and this design is no exception to the rule - it is a simple oscillator that generates a frequency somewhere in the VHF or UHF...

Transistor Schmitt Trigger Oscillator

The Schmitt Trigger oscillator below employs 3 transistors, 6 resistors and a capacitor to generate a square waveform. Pulse waveforms can be generated with an additional diode and resistor (R6). Q1 and Q2 are connected with a common emitter resistor (R1) so that the conduction of one transistor causes the other to turn off. Q3 is controlled...

Arduino Based Data Logger

Well I thought it was about time I actually finished a project I started (enough to boast about online anyway). I recently bought myself an Arduino and just about every attachment under the sun, and have really been stumped for interesting projects to do with it.I decided to build myself a makeshift data logger to sample the temperature and...

FM Stereo Encoder for Beginner

This circuit is a simple fm stereo encoder. A method commonly used in (double side-band suppressed carrier) DSB-SC modulation to provide synchronisation between modulator and demodulator is to transmit a sinusoidal tone (pilot tone) whose frequency and phase are related to the carrier frequency. This tone is positioned at 19 kHz, outside...
