Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • 175KHz INDUCTIVE PULSE RECEIVER
    This circuit is discussed in more detail in the Experimenters Journal. The receiver’s six inch diameter coil detects the ring signal from the above transmitter and use a single NPN transistor to provided enough amplification for the signal to be easily viewed on an oscilloscope.

$10 Receiver has MicroVolt Sensitivity -  08/18/94 EDN-Design Ideas  A three-transistor circuit in Fig 1 costs less than $10 to build, uses commonly available components, and consumes less than 10 mA from a single 9V battery. If you wind coil L1, as  figure shows,  circuit receives signals in  5to 15-MHz short-wave.... [Design Idea by Charles Kitchin, Analog Devices Inc, Wilmington, MA]

137 kHz Direct Conversion Receiver -  The front end is described elsewhere  prea136.htm  The scope is reduce as most as possible the image frequency. I have also tried a different front end, based on a low pass filter with frequency cut-off of 180 kHz. In my QTH I had a lot of undesirables signals on the screen of the PC. The filter is tuned with a signal generator for a bandwidth of 300 Hz, centered on 136.650 kHz. The coupling capacitor between the coils is also tuned for the desired bandwidth....

27 MHz Receiver -  This is a simple RF receiver mainly for low-distance digital radio receiver application. The analog output of this circuit should be connected to a schmitt-trigger signal conditioning circuit with a proper value capacitor (from collector of T3). L1 for 27Mhz is about 10 turns, 6 mm diameter coil body. …....

The input Switch S1, applies voltage to a set of relays which switch in the appropriate coils.... [Designed by David Sayles]
4 Transistor FM Receiver -  This is a pocket sized receiver I built in 1994. The idea was to make a simple but useable receiver running off 3V. My previous 6 transistor receiver was more bulky, requiring 12V.  This meant 10 x AA cells. I designed and made a PCB,....(circuit added 08/07/06)

There is no AGC or RF gain control, however this receiver has good large signal handling capability.  This receiver uses just 6 bipolar transistors and an op amp for reasonable volume into headphones. Much....(design added 05/08)
40m Direct Conversion Receiver -  Building a practical and usable direct conversion receiver for the 40 m CW band is not as simple as it might appear. Broadcast station signals from the adjacent 41 m band, will easily overload most direct conversion mixer designs with their unwanted…
