This channel is geared to those new to electronics. I try to keep the math relatively simple, i.e. no calculus ;). The plan is to cover all of the material a person would see in a two year college program.
I have a video transmitter. I want to increase the range of the transmitter. Which amplifier should I use for the UHF band?

The only reason to use a jfet is on the input to get a high impedance, after that i'd use bipolar transistors. That way you can get more voltage gain. You could possibly get all you want with 2 stages. An interesting idea would be a cascode where the lower device is a jfet and the upper one is a bipolar transistor

22:54 It looks good on small signals but if you increase input signal swing to few volts, output will be distorted (lower parts of sinus) because of the output capacitor. That is happening because emitter follower can't drain current, only source.

Not a very good cascode amp. There is no need to capacitive couple between stages, and some emitter degeneration in the cascode stage enhances stability. You can get much better frequency response for the same gain by buffering the input and output with common collector stages. This "Miller Theorem" is really a simplification and nothing multiplies or divides the capacitance. What is really happening is the shunt resistance across those capacitance is much higher in a common emitter stage and lower with a well designed cascode stage. An estimate of the frequency response of a multistage transistor amplifier is the inverse sum of the open circuit time constants. So when the shunt resistance is reduced, the frequency response goes up. Common collector buffers reduce the shunt resistance, and the resistance looking into the emitter of the upper transistor is much lower than if there was just a load resistor there ( in the case of a common emitter amplifier). I have built cascode amplifiers, written out all the node equations and used a program to calculate the high frequency rool-offs. I also used the estimate I described above and calculated about the same value. Finally, by measuring the high frequency roll-off, I found all were in close agreement. Your Miller Theorem" concept is erroneous, and you should understand that all transistor stages have gain. The common collector and common base configurations have current gain. In any amplifier you want power gain, so both current and voltage gain are needed.

Thank you for the excellent video! I am a self-taught EE hobbyist and only have hobbyist needs. I was considering building an In Amp from scratch for learning purposes, but due to the precision parts/resistors needed, I am considering an all-in-one package. With the gain of the AD2221 (correct #?) not reaching its expected goal and its function left uncertain, I am wondering two things... 1) Should I feel confident enough to use the 2221? 2) what other chips should I consider, having a price point of $20USD, or less?

As an EE and former extra-rated ham, I thank you for presenting the best presentation yet on a AM LC resonant loop antenna. I appreciate the RC equations as a functions of frequency. So long as you use insulated magnet wire to make the coil, it' shouldn't matter if the coils are right next to each other, so long as the wires don't get hot enough to melt the insulation and short out. I heard other AM broadcast band antenna builders proclaim a 1 foot by 1 foot square for making the loop. Are you sure 2 foot by 2 foot is the right value? I suppose will have to do further research on coil building to determine the inductance of hand-wrapped square loops.. I am hoping to find a source for the variable air capacitor for tuning this magnetic loop antenna. If you know where I can buy one, please post here. I hope to find one, so I don't have to run wire outside my house ( I live in an area where air temperatures drop below freezing for 2 to 3 months of the year), so I don't have to drill a hole in my house to string a grounded antenna outdoors with 50 to 100 feet of wire.

I'm a little confused. You say at around 2.22 the pulse comes out of the collector. It appears to me the flow of the current is from 9v through R34 (which there will be a voltage drop) then to the collector through emitter though R33 to ground. You state the pulse comes out of the collector but it looks to me the pulse is produced by the voltage drop across R34. Saying the pulse comes out of the collector makes the current go the wrong way to me and doesn't make sense but I am surely no engineer. I see that there will be a pulse at the collector. Its just confuses me saying the pulse comes out of the collector. It looks like the pulse will be going "into" the collector resulting in a voltage drop across R34 and R33 with the pulse going through the primary of L5 resulting in an inductive kick which is amplified though more windings in the secondary of L5 then onward through the rest of the circuitry. Are you just saving time so you won't have to waste words tracing the current flow through all the resistors and oscillator transformer and coils?? I'm currently building this kit. Thank for your video and how to tweak things.

Hi thanks for the video, I love it. Hope you could help me with the following question .... from the formula in the first slide n = Pout / Pdc, for instance, if type C power out was reduced dramatically but power from DC still reduced a bit but high, therefore n will decrease quite a lot too, means will not represent a high eff. Well, for this that's not correct and I'm misunderstand something.

At the negative cycle, the npn transistor should be in its off state, therefore disconnecting the 10V source from the pnp transistor, so where does the current comes from that allow negative voltage to appear at the output?

You can use this dinosaur also for high power boost and buck converters. The open driver collector and the open output collector and emitter allow the use of external low- or high-side drivers together with this device. You can connect the output emitter to ground and short the driver and output collectors and connect them across a resistor to a dc voltage of 12 V, which is also the operating voltage of the low- or high-side drivers. In this way it is possible to operate high-power MOSFETs for several 100 A of channel current. So, I have used the MC34063 as the controller for a boost converter which generates the power for a battery operated welding device of maximal 200 A at 30 V out of a Li-Ion battery with 22.6 V 100 Ah. The total input capacity of the power MOSFETs of 30 nF was operated with a MIC4420 low-side driver, which is capable to deliver a gate current of 6 A. The disadvantage of the MC34063 is its current limit detection differential voltage of 300 mV. So my shunt resistor is dissipating a maximum heat of 70 W, which is about half of the total loss of the power semiconductors (MOSFETs and Schottky diodes). But the efficiency is still well above 95%.

Sallen-Key filters should always be designed with the op-amp buffer gain = 1 in order to maximize the loop transfer function, thereby providing the best performance of the closed-loop op-amp buffer. Design is easy because the normalized resistors are one ohm and the normalized capacitor values are easily calculated based on normalized [w0 = 1 r/s] pole locations.

@dontoro45794 ай бұрын
The reference voltage depends on the In voltage as you said, but it isn't a division by 2, the reference voltage must be a lower voltage than the in one, like Vin= 3V Vref = 2V, for a lineal operation of the comparator . If you do a circuit with a Vin = 2V and Vref= 5V (for example), your comparator will work in no-lineal way, it will gives you in Output voltage the alimentation, Vcc+ or Vcc- depending were is the realimentation . I wish I answer your question, my english is not good at all :D.
