The Audio-frequency Power Amplifier


Introduction to Audio Power Amplifier

In this tutorial we shall study vacuum-tube amplifier circuits which give a large output voltage of substantially the same waveform as that of the input voltage, accompanied by a large curr ent of like waveform, so that there is considerable power delivered to the load, rfhe operation really is a power-conversion process, as in most cases all of the output power derives from the plate d-c source, under the control of the signal voltage applied to the grid. In general the treatment can often be made similar to that used for voltage amplifiers, except that usually the operation is not linear and therefore graphical or experimental procedures give most accurate results.

Feedback Amplifiers


Distortion and Stability in output

It is well known that the output of an amplifier does not have a voltage waveform exactly a replica of the input signal. Because of the presence of inductance and capacitance in the tubes and circuits, the various frequency components of the signal are affected by different amplifications and phase shifts. Also because of nonlinear action of the tube itself, the output voltage is not exactly prop optional to the input voltage. Again, if one or more of the bias voltages E0, Eb0, etc., varies,

Meachom Bridge Oscillator


Meachom Bridge Oscillator with circuit

The Meacham bridge oscillator, illustrated in figure 1460, provides the greatest frequency stability of any vacuum-tube oscillator yet devised, but the region of maximum frequency stability is limited to the lower frequencies because of the increased effect of the 8cray circuit capacitances when the frequency becomes greater than a few hundred kilocycles per second. The oscillator is of the crystal-stabilized type employing tuned circuits. At frequencies above 1000 kv the effect of the stray capacitance is sufficient to reduce the stability to a point where little is to be gained by the use of the Meacham

Crystal Oscillators


Oscillators with Crystals Having Two Sets of Electrodes

The original crystal oscillator devised by Dr. Nicolson, as well as a number of the earlier crystal oscillators tested by Dr. Cady, employed crystals with, effectively, two pairs of electrodes. The basic circuit is shown in figure 1-156. The re quired phase inversion of, the amplifier output voltage is provided by the crystal unit operating at a mode for which the polarities of the plate and grid terminals with respect to ground are 180 degrees out of phase. The circuit shown operates the crystal unit very

Miller Oscillator with Cricuit


1428. The Miller oscillator is the crystal equivalent of a Hartley oscillator in which no mutual inductance exists between the plate-to cathode and gridt o.cithode inductances. ( See figure 1-140.) The Miller oscillator has an average frequency deviation of approximately 1.5 times that of the Pierce circuit. The plate circuit must appear inductive in order that the correct phase shift will be produced in E, the plate r-f voltage, to compensate for the

Principles of Rectification




Rectifiers change ac into pulsating dc by eliminating the nega Live half’cycles or alternating the ac voltage. Only a series of sinewave pulsations of positive polarity remain. An ideal rectifier may be thought of as a switch that closes a load circuit whenever the polarity of the alternating voltage is positive, and opens the circuit whenever the alternating voltage is of negative polarity. A switch

Basic Electronic Components


The point of this tutorial is to provide the reader with a essential concept of the physical structure of individual electronic components.

Resistors

A resistor, as the name tells us, is electronic device resists (or opposes) current flow in a circuit.

The Hidden Cameras for Security



The CCTV digital camera, hidden cam, spy digital camera, secret digital camera or house movie monitoring digital camera is a digital camera that is hidden as another item. These little digital cameras have remarkable quality, yet are little enough to cover up in a radio, smoke detectors, reflection or many other familiar things that would be in a room. Hidden Cameras can be used not only in the property, but over the counter or industrially as video digital cameras.

Today a hidden cameras can record movie for watching later or connected to the world wide web for watching from anywhere in the world at real-time. To get connected to the world wide web you simply need a little system called a USB DVR - Digital Video Recording unit. This system joins directly to your digital camera and your computer to make your movie available online. An IP Camera does not require a USB DVR, but is hard to cover because of its size.

Frequency Domain Curve-Fitting FDCF


Frequency domain curve-fitting is useful technique to fit a TFM very close into the observed FRF data. FDCF is a two-step procedure, which includes the model structure selection and model parameter optimization.

Direct Current Density


Current is known as the flow of charge. By inheritance, the direction of this flow is with the movement of positive charge. The amount of charge δQ flowing through (that is, perpendicular) to a surface, in time δt is given by the formula
