The generator consists of the RF generator itself (transistor V3), an emitter follower (transistor, V4), an output amplifier (transistor V6) and an amplitude modulator (transistor V5).

The required subrange of generated frequencies is selected by switch S1, the generator is rebuilt with a double block of capacitors of variable capacitance C6 (both sections are connected in parallel). Diode VI in the gate circuit of transistor V3 acts as a limiter, which increases the stability of the output signal amplitude when the generator is tuned (within the subrange). Resistors R1*-R4* attenuate positive feedback, improving the waveform. The supply voltage of this stage is stabilized by the Zener diode V2.

From the source of the transistor V3, the high-frequency oscillation voltage is supplied to the emitter follower, which provides decoupling between the generator and the load. The voltage developed by the generator (transistor V3) is significantly greater than that required for the normal operation of subsequent stages. Therefore, the signal is supplied to the output amplifier from the divider formed by resistors R9 and R10 in the emitter circuit of transistor V4.

The output broadband amplifier (transistor V6) is made on a circuit with a common emitter. Its load is a variable resistor R15, from the engine of which the signal is fed to the output coaxial connector K2. In order to provide a sufficiently wide output amplifier bandwidth, the resistance of this resistor should be no more than 150 ohms. Then, with a capacitive load of about 50 pF (capacitance of a coaxial cable about 0,7 m long), the bandwidth of the amplifier is 20 .. 30 MHz. In this case, a relatively large current (about 10 mA) must be passed through the transistors. the voltage drop across the resistor R15 should be about 2 times the amplitude of the output signal.

Amplitude modulation is carried out in the output stage. Transistor V5 of the modulator is connected in direct current in series with transistor V6, and the modulating voltage from connector X1 is supplied simultaneously to the bases of both transistors (on V6 - through resistor R13 *). The result is a mixed (collector-base) modulation of the output signal. Using such modulation, by simply increasing the AF voltage, you can get almost 100% modulation of a high-frequency signal with low non-linear distortion. Turn on the modulation switch S2.

The generator uses a small-sized dual block (its sections are connected in parallel during installation) of variable capacitors with a solid dielectric KPTM-4 (from Neiva, Etyud, Signal, Orbita transistor radios). The axis of the block is lengthened with a piece of brass rod with a diameter of 4 and a length of 18 mm. At one end, an axial hole 8 mm deep was drilled in it, in which an M2 thread was then cut. For the connection, a steel pin M2 X 8 was used, which is screwed on BF-2 glue into a threaded hole in the axis of the KPE block, and an extension rod is screwed onto the protruding end on the same glue to failure.

To adjust the output voltage, a variable wire resistor PPB-1V was used, but another resistor could be used, the resistance of which would not exceed 150 ohms.

The generator uses capacitors KT-1a (C1-C4), K50-6 (C13), KM (C15) and KLS (the rest). All fixed resistors, except for R10-VS-0,125 (MLT-0,125, MLT-0,25, etc.). Resistor R10 - MON-0,5, if necessary, it can be made independently by winding, for example, a piece of PEV-2 wire with a diameter of 0,06 mm on the body of the MLT-0,5 resistor with a resistance of at least 100 ohms. A piece of wire 790 mm long is folded in half and the loop is fixed on the resistor with a drop of molten rosin. After winding, the ends are soldered to the terminals of the resistors.

The device can use any field-effect transistor of the KP303 series and any low-power silicon high-frequency transistors.

The static current transfer coefficient of transistors V4 and V6 must be at least 60, transistor V5 - at least 30. Diode V1 - any high-frequency silicon.

The generator coils L1 and L2 are wound on M1000NM-A-K10 X 6X 4,5 ferrite rings (outer diameter 10, inner diameter 6, height 4,5 mm, ferrite grade 1000NM). The first of them contains 25 + 50 turns of PEV-2 wire with a diameter of 0,15 mm, the second - 7 + 14 turns of PEV-2 wire with a diameter of 0,41 mm. Coils L3 and L4 are wound respectively on ferrite rods M600NN-2-CC3, 5 X 20 (diameter 3,5, length 20 mm) and M600NN-3-CC2,8 x 12 (diameter 2,8, length 12 mm). Coil L3 consists of 10 + 20 turns of PEV-2 wire with a diameter of 0,25 mm, L4 - 4 + 8 turns of PEV-2 wire with a diameter of 0,5 mm.

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 ... >>
