Centimeter wave receiver

On fig. 1 shows a diagram of this receiver. The first lamp is regenerative and detector; the second and third are low frequency amplifiers.

As a detector lamp, we took a shielded SO-95 lamp. It turned out to be the best of both ordinary three-electrode and shielded lamps currently existing and the most suitable for receiving such short waves. In the low-frequency amplifier in both stages there are UT-40 lamps.

The receiver is assembled on a corner panel (see photo) with dimensions of 250 X 130 mm - vertical and 170 X 130 mm - horizontal part. The panels are made from dry 65mm plywood and then covered with black lacquer. A small socket (170 x 15 mm) is attached to the horizontal part, on which two rheostats and sockets for turning on telephone receivers are fixed. The rheostats have a resistance of XNUMX ohms and are used to regulate the incandescence of the low-frequency amplifier lamps. In order not to make the design of the receiver too cumbersome, the detector lamp filament rheostat is not mounted on the receiver panel, but together with a step-down power transformer and, therefore, is removed from the receiver.

On the main horizontal panel are placed parts of the low frequency amplifier, and on the rear vertical panel is the detector lamp of the receiver. From the photographs it can be seen that the detector lamp is in a horizontal position and raised high above the low frequency amplifier. This arrangement of lamps was chosen in order to make the installation of the receiver easier. Power terminals are located on the vertical panel. Three of them are set high, almost at the lamp socket of the detector lamp. An alternating voltage is supplied to the two extreme terminals from the transformer through a rheostat to heat the filament of the detector lamp. The upper middle terminal energizes the shielding grid of the detector lamp. To the first lower terminal (when viewed from the reverse side of the vertical panel), plus the anode voltage is supplied, to the second - minus the anode voltage, to the third - plus the glow and to the fourth - minus the glow (see Fig. 3).

We now turn to the manufacture of the main part of the receiver - the oscillatory circuit.

Details

It can be seen from the photographs and the diagram that the oscillatory circuit of the receiver is a deployed oscillatory circuit with a variable setting. Details of the oscillatory circuit of the receiver are shown in fig. 2.

Centimeter wave receiver
Fig. 2

The receiver is tuned to the transmitter wave by changing the length of the parts of the oscillatory circuit attached to the grid and the cathode of the detector lamp. In practice, tuning is carried out by greater or lesser insertion of brass rods into the brass tubes.

Small ebonite handles are placed on the finished rods at one end (Fig. 2 cd).

Chokes are included in all power wires: they prevent the penetration of high frequency vibrations into the amplifier, as well as into the batteries. Chokes Dr1, Dr2, Dr3, Dr4 and Dr5 are the same and have 12 turns of wire with a diameter of 1,5 mm. The chokes are made as follows: on a wooden stick with a diameter of 9 mm, a turn to turn of 13 turns is wound close to the turn. Then the throttle, without removing it from the stick, is stretched so that its length is 40 mm. After that, the throttle is removed from the stick.

In the manufacture of chokes, it should be remembered that they are made from mounting wire, the pieces of which must be taken in such a way that they are enough for the choke, and the remaining ends of the wire could be attached to the corresponding parts of the circuit. When assembling the receiver, the inductors should be placed so that their first turns are at the lamp electrodes, i.e. so that the connecting wire between the inductor and the lamp electrode is as short as possible.

The resistance r3 has 1,5 megohm. Lamp sockets are non-capacitive. All terminals and telephone jacks are mounted on ebonite bushings.

Thus, none of the details of the receiver touches the tree. Low frequency transformers in the first stage have a ratio of 1:5, and in the second 1:4.

Installation

The oscillatory circuit is attached with the help of strips of 0,8 mm brass soldered to each of its halves at one end, which are then wrapped around the tube. A hole is drilled in the remaining ends of the brass strip, with the help of which the strip, together with the tube, is attached to the grid contact and to the cathode contact. In order for the structure to be rigid and the oscillatory circuit to be firmly fixed, the tube is attached to a vertical panel.

All connections are made with 1,5 mm copper wire, preferably silver plated.

After the receiver is assembled, proceed to its establishment. They put the receiver at a distance of several meters from the transmitter, light the receiver lamps and, turning on the transmitter, tune the receiver to it. If no transmitter signals are detected during tuning, then the operating mode of the transmitter is changed by adjusting the incandescence of the generator lamps and the length of the Lecher systems located in the anode and generator grid.

Having adjusted the receiver, we can start receiving over longer distances.

This receiver received the work of the transmitter at a distance of up to 300 m. At the same time, at a distance of the receiver from the transmitter of 100 m, the audibility reached R = 6, and at 300 m - R = 2-3. The work on the transmitter was carried out with a key.

The transmitter and receiver should be placed so that the vibrator and the deployed oscillatory circuit of the receiver are not parallel and so that the experimenters can see each other.

Experimenting with the described transmitter and receiver was carried out in Moscow in an open area. The transmitter was installed outside on the wall of the house at a height of 2 m from the ground; food was supplied through the window of the house. The receiver was placed at a height of about 1,2 m from the ground.

You should experiment with two or, even better, three. At the same time, one is located at the transmitter, and two are at the "movable" receiver. The operating mode of the receiver was supported by us as follows: the glow of the detector lamp is 1,3V; the voltage supplied to the anode of the detector lamp and low frequency lamps is 80 V, and the voltage supplied to the screening grid is 25-30 V.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Wine in tablets 04.06.2004

Medical statistics show that in countries with a traditionally high consumption of dry red wine, the level of cardiovascular diseases is reduced. But, judging by the fact that the consumption of vodka does not save from these diseases, the point here is not in the alcohol itself, but in the accompanying substances of red wine.

Employees of the Pharmaceutical Institute in Pavia (Italy) have developed a preparation containing all the useful components of wine. Tablets are made from the liquid mass that remains after alcohol is distilled from the wine must to produce strong drinks such as cognac.

Sugar and some amino acids are added to the mass. The mixture is filtered and then dried under vacuum. Tablets are pressed from the resulting powder, each of which is equivalent to a glass of red wine in terms of preventive action.
