The signal from a condenser microphone with a built-in amplifier (M1) is fed to the direct input of the operational amplifier DA1. Connected to this input is a voltage divider across resistors R2 and R3, which creates half the supply voltage at this input, and thus allows the op-amp to operate with a single supply. A circuit R7, C5, C6 is connected between the inverting input and output, which creates the desired gain and frequency response of the amplifier. This amplifier works as a speech signal compressor, compressing its dynamic range due to the VT1 transistor cascade.

Schematic diagram of the transmitter

The output voltage of the AF amplifier is detected by the diodes VD1 and VD2 into a constant voltage, negative, which acts on the gate of the transistor VT1 and increases the channel resistance of this transistor with an increase in the sound signal level. As a result of shunting the inverting input with capacitor C6, the negative feedback coefficient changes, which leads to a change in the gain of the op-amp. The output voltage of the op-amp, equal to half the supply voltage, is supplied through resistors R1 and R12 to the cathodes of the VD3 varicaps. The modulating voltage of the AF changes at the cathode of the varicaps relative to this bias voltage. The VD3 varicap matrix is connected between the quartz resonator and the common wire. A change in the capacitance of the varicap leads to some change in the frequency of the resonator. In this process, the inductance of the coil L1 also plays a role.

The master oscillator is made on the transistor VT2, the frequency in the collector circuit of which is determined by the included resonator, inductance L1 and capacitance VD3. The circuit L2, C13 in the collector circuit of this transistor is tuned to the middle of the selected range, and a frequency-modulated RF voltage with a frequency of the resonator Q1 is allocated on it. This voltage is fed through the coupling coil L3 to the output stage, made on the transistor VT3. The coil is included in the base bias circuit of this transistor - R17, R18, which creates the operating point of the output stage. The amplified and frequency-modulated RF voltage is released on the VT3 collector. Then, through a low-pass filter and an extension coil, this voltage enters the antenna.

The low-pass filter on the coil and capacitors C16 and C17 serves to suppress harmonics and match the output impedance of the cascade on the transistor VT3 with the input impedance of the antenna, the L5 coil introduces additional inductance into the antenna circuit and thus increases its equivalent length, approaching a quarter wave. As a result, the signal return to the antenna increases. Capacitor C19 eliminates the failure of the transistor VT3 from accidental shorting of the antenna with a common wire or power circuit.

All high-frequency transmitter coils are made on the same frames with a diameter of 7 mm with cores of ferrite 100 VCh with a diameter of 2,8 mm. The transmitter coil L2 has 6 turns, L3 - 3 turns, L4 - 8 turns, L5 - 20 turns of PEV 0,2 wire. Coil L1 - choke DM-0,06 16 μH. The transmitter is tuned in the traditional way, controlling the field strength generated by it using a wavemeter or an RF oscilloscope with a wire loop at the input.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Moon and Mars found on Earth 14.03.2011

On the island of Reunion, lying in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar and belonging to France, they found a place with a geological structure and landscape similar to the plains of the Moon and Mars.

Here, at the foot of an active volcano, since 2011, they plan to test lunar rovers, rovers and spacesuits for hiking on other planets. Currently, space agencies of different countries use several such test sites in Antarctica, in northern Canada and in the desert in Utah (USA).
