Comments on the article
The Schottky-barrier FET amplifier proposed in [1] was tested to receive weak TV signals and showed fantastic results. So, a barely distinguishable image of the 9th channel of the Kamensk-Shakhtinsky repeater (100 km) was restored almost to normal when this amplifier was connected. For example, a two-stage amplifier based on KT3132 transistors did not give even close to such an effect.
Ris.1
The circuit adapted for TV reception is shown in Fig. 1. The amplifier is resonant and is tuned from the 6th to the 12th channels by the resistor R3. Coil L1 is frameless and contains 5 turns of PEV 0,7 wire on a mandrel with a diameter of 7 mm. Withdrawal - from the 1st turn from the bottom. I must say that PTSs are very sensitive to static electricity, network pickups and input overloads. Although the gate of the transistor is connected to the body through the L1 coil, even a very small charge (from a comb, for example) entering the X1 input causes it to breakdown. Therefore, it is risky to connect random antennas, especially with a split vibrator. The central core of the supply cable must be connected by direct current to the screen, and it, in turn, to the carrier mast. The printed circuit board of the amplifier is shown in Fig.2.
Ris.2
The amplifier can be made broadband (Fig. 3) by connecting a broadband transformer T1 with a transformation ratio of 1:9 to the input. T2 is designed to match the output impedance of the amplifier with the cable resistance, which increases the efficiency compared to the inclusion shown in Fig. 1. It is not necessary to use powerful PTSs in the amplifier as in [I], instead of them, such as ZP325 (AP325) work almost as well. Transformer T1 is wound on a K7x4x2 100 NN ring and contains 4 turns in three PEV 0,2 wires. T2 - on the same core 4 turns in two wires. In both schemes, K is a ferrite bead, dressed on the drain output to prevent self-excitation in the microwave.
Ris.3
For the experiment, you can replace the PTS with a conventional low-noise FET KP312A (with the appropriate correction of R1 and R2). The difference in performance is more than convincing.

Alcohol content of warm beer
07.05.2024
Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>
Major risk factor for gambling addiction
07.05.2024
Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>
Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks
06.05.2024
The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>
| Random news from the Archive A device for charging a smartphone and simultaneously backing up data
02.09.2016
Many owners of Android smartphones do not back up data from their devices for the simple reason of inconvenience: after all, for this you need to select cloud storage, download an application, make settings, and others are simply too lazy to connect the device to a computer and make a copy of the data on a local device. One way or another, all these actions require some time, which, as a rule, is not enough anyway. It would be much easier if backing up data was as easy as...charging a smartphone, for example.
Toshiba has made this dream come true, which has amazed everyone. What is the interest of this device, you ask. In appearance, the novelty, which does not even have a name yet, is an ordinary round platform with a power supply, reminiscent of an induction panel for charging mobile gadgets. But no. The smartphone is traditionally connected to the device via a USB cable, after which it starts charging and pairs with the internal storage (500 GB or 1 TB) of the Toshiba device.
The advantage of the device is that you only need to set it up once, after which you can forget about any backup difficulties. Now the backup will be updated every time you put the device on charge, and all your photos, videos or work documents will not be lost if the smartphone fails or is lost. Moreover, with this innovative device, you can transfer all your data to a new smartphone.
But what if you need a backup from two different smartphones? No problem! New from Toshiba can recognize different devices; in this case, backups will be created in the corresponding folders of the internal storage, and you can view them when you connect the device to a PC, which is also very convenient. There is plenty of space on the internal drive - depending on the model, 500 or 1000 GB of space will be available to the user, so there will be no problems with overflow.
