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.
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. The LI coil 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.
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 [1], 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.
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.

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
New method for creating powerful batteries
08.05.2024
With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>
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, ... >>
| Random news from the Archive The fastest supercomputers in the world
27.11.2012
The top500.org resource has published the jubilee, fortieth in a row, world ranking of the most high-performance supercomputers "TOP500 List of the world's top supercomputers". The rating is updated twice a year - in June and November. This time, its leader was the Titan Cray XK7 hybrid supercomputer based on NVIDIA Tesla processors, located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the main computing center of the US Department of Energy. The Titan system was deployed on a Jaguar 960 GPU Tesla M2090 supercomputer based on the NVIDIA "Fermi" architecture.
The Titan supercomputer consists of 18688 nodes, each of which includes a sixteen-core AMD Opteron processor and an Nvidia Tesla K20X graphics accelerator. In total, Titan has 560640 processors, including 261632 cores from the NVIDIA K20x accelerator. According to the LINPACK benchmark, the system performance is 17,59 petaflops.
"Tesla GPUs deliver over 85% of Titan's peak performance. This level of performance at this price point and power consumption simply cannot be achieved using CPUs alone," said Steve Scott, Chief Technology Officer, Tesla Products at NVIDIA. , starting to create a supercomputer. At the same time, it should be noted that most of the supercomputers included in the rating use only central processors.
The previous rating "TOP500 List of the world's top supercomputers" was headed by the Sequoia supercomputer from the Livermore National Laboratory. Lawrence, now in second place. In June, IBM's BlueGene/Q system took first place with an impressive LINPACK score of 16,32 petaflops. In addition, with 1 cores, the Sequoia system became the first supercomputer with more than one million cores.
The top five also included K Computer, a supercomputer manufactured by Fujitsu, located at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (Kobe, Japan), the Mira computing system from the Argonne National Laboratory, and the JUQUEEN supercomputer from the Jülich Research Center (Forschungszentrum Juelich) in Germany, considered the fastest in Europe.
