By supplementing the VCR with a simple set-top box, you can turn it into a small television center and establish local television broadcasting in a small village, village, or children's camp. The complete block diagram of the device is shown in Fig.1. It is made on common parts, does not require any changes in the VCR and TV.

In domestic VMs there is an output "HF", it allows you to broadcast the program to the antenna input of the TV, included in the 6th channel of the meter range. By amplifying the signal, it is possible to transmit it over a distance of several hundred meters. Reception is carried out on an ordinary TV, for which a separate antenna A2 is used, oriented to the transmitting antenna A3. It is desirable to install the latter as high as possible, for example, on the roof of a house. The received signal for more confident reception is amplified by an antenna amplifier, the schematic diagram of which is shown in Fig. 2.

All connections when mounting the amplifier must be of a minimum length. Power supply - from a source with a low ripple coefficient, otherwise moving or standing horizontal stripes may appear on the TV screen. It is best to power the circuit from the power supply of the TV itself through a small voltage regulator. The amplifier works well on all 12 channels of the MB band, so it can also be used to amplify local TV signals. The transmitter is connected to the "HF output" of the VCR, the TV - through an interface device to its "VIDEO" and "SOUND" outputs.

The preliminary stage of the transmitting amplifier (Fig. 3) is assembled on a field-effect transistor VT1 with a gain of about 10.

At the input there is a capacitor C1, which has a very small capacitance, so the device practically does not make changes to the output signal of the VCR. The signal is amplified by two stages of a linear power amplifier. The first one, which has the highest gain, uses a VT2 transistor operating in class A. The output stage (its power gain is 5) is made on a VT3 transistor, which has increased electrical strength and good linearity. For the temperature stability of the cascade, a thermistor R9 is used, mounted on a radiator, near the transistor VT3. In addition, the cascades are separated by screens.

The transmission coefficient of the whole device is about 40 dB. The amplifier at the same time develops an output power of about 2,5 watts. Its output is designed to connect a load with a resistance of 75 ohms. During installation, the capacitor C1 is directly soldered to the central core of the cable coming from the VCR. Capacitor leads must be as short as possible, as are all other connections. To ensure stable operation, the base circuits of the transistors are separated from the collector circuits. The transistors VT2 and VT3 themselves are placed in recesses on the radiator, and a thermistor R3 is installed next to the transistor VT9. The remaining parts are assembled on a printed circuit board made of double-sided foil fiberglass, mounted on racks on the radiator. The foil on one side is used as a screen. Holes for parts must be countersunk. The screens between the base and collector circuits of the transistors are also made of foil fiberglass. They must be connected to the common screen of the circuit.

The following parts are used in the amplifier: thermistor - type KMT-1, trimmer capacitors C6, C9, C11 - type KT4-21V. The Dr1 inductor is wound on a MLT-0,25 resistor with a resistance of 100 kOhm with a PEV-1 0,12 wire in one row until it is filled, about 30 turns. Coils - frameless and wound with silver-plated wire with a diameter of 1 mm, L1 contains 3 turns, the outer diameter of the coil is 10 mm, the length of the winding is 6 mm; L2 contains 4 turns, the outer diameter of the coil is 8 mm, the winding length is 8 mm; L3 contains 3 turns, the outer diameter of the coil is 8 mm, the winding length is 5 mm; L4 contains 4 turns, the outer diameter of the coil is 10 mm, the winding length is 8 mm. You can power the amplifier from any stabilized source that provides a current of about 20 A at a voltage of 0,5 V, and about 12 mA at 80 V. For receiving antenna A2, it is better to use a 5-element antenna of the "wave channel" type (Fig. 4).

Its dimensions are given in Table 1

The material for the antenna is aluminum or duralumin tubes. The most suitable diameter: for the carrier boom -18...22 mm, for vibrators - 10...14 mm. A drop cable with a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms is connected to an active loop vibrator through a U-elbow (Fig. 5). Knee length - 530 mm. The connection point of the cable to the vibrator must be insulated by covering it with nitro paint or epoxy resin.

The transmitting antenna A3, if the correspondents are located in the same direction from the transmitter, can be the same antenna that is used on the receiving side (Fig. 4). If the correspondents are located on opposite sides of the "TV center", it is better to use the so-called "circular antenna" (Fig. 6). The lengths of the dowels E1 and E2 are chosen equal and minimal.

The dimensions of the antenna are given in Table 2.

Vibrators are made of aluminum or duralumin tubes with a diameter of 10...16 mm. To match them with cables E1 and E2, a U-elbow is also used (Fig. 5). The distributor diagram is shown in Fig. 7.

To match the load, a piece of cable with a wave impedance of 50 Ohm (RK-59-4-13, RK-50-2-13, RK-50-2-11) 280 mm long was used, and to reduce it - with a wave resistance of 75 Ohm with small linear attenuation, for example RK-75-9-12 and RK-75-9-13. Setting up the set-top box begins with the transmitting amplifier. First, by adjusting the resistor R1, the current of the transistor VT1 is set within 5 ... 7 mA. Then they proceed to adjust the circuits C6 L2 and C9 L4. The input of the amplifier is connected to the "HF output" of the VCR, and the average power meter MZ-5A is connected to the output of the transmitting amplifier. If this is not available, the circuit shown in Fig. 8 is assembled, and by alternately adjusting the rotors of capacitors C6 and C9, the maximum readings of the device are achieved. Then a working antenna is connected to the output of the transmitting amplifier.

Around the loop vibrator of the antenna, 2 ... 3 turns of wire (any) are wound and the circuit shown in Fig. 9 is assembled.

After adjusting the connection with the antenna (adjusting the capacitor C 1 1), the antennas are oriented towards each other, and if the transmitting antenna is "circular", only the receiving antenna is oriented. If necessary, adjust the channel selector of the television receiver to the 6th channel. You can start transmission.

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 Fatty food damages memory 23.01.2016 Fatty food has a bad effect not only on the figure, but also on mental abilities: the experiments of Erica Underwood (Erica Underwood) and Lucien Thompson (Lucien T. Thompson) from the University of Texas at Dallas showed that in mice fed with fat, memory and ability to to learning. The experiment itself was set up as follows: the animals were kept on feed enriched with fats for three months, and then they checked what changes had occurred in the neurophysiology and behavior of the experimental subjects. In mice on a fatty diet, the excitability of hippocampal neurons decreased - and the hippocampus, as we know, is one of the main memory centers, in particular, memory is consolidated in it, its transformation from short-term to long-term. Based on the state of neurons that began to work worse, one would expect mice to have worse cognitive abilities. To test this, rodents were placed in a complex toy box, and after the mice got used to the arrangement of objects, one of the toys was placed in a new place. Those of the animals that ate normally quickly learned the new location of objects, but those that were kept on fatty food had difficulty remembering where the familiar thing was now. In other words, memory - at least that part of it that is responsible for orientation in space - having received an excess of fat, really failed. A year later, the learning ability returned to normal, although changes in neurons persisted (probably, some compensatory mechanisms worked). Of course, other characteristic physiological abnormalities were also observed: for example, in male mice - but not in females - there were symptoms of type XNUMX diabetes, when tissues become less sensitive to insulin and they stop taking glucose from the blood. Since the activity of hippocampal neurons depends, among other things, on insulin, a decrease in the sensitivity of nerve cells to the hormone can affect the work of the neurons themselves and cognitive abilities. Diabetic symptoms in males persisted a year after switching back to normal food. However, the question remains about females: their memory also deteriorated, and neurons worked worse, but they reacted to insulin in the same way as usual, and even more, sensitivity to the hormone in female neurons increased, and the amount of insulin synthesized decreased (which does not correspond to usual diabetic picture). Why the females here turned out to be different from the males, the researchers have yet to find out - as well as whether something similar happens in humans.
