Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :

175KHz INDUCTIVE PULSE RECEIVER
This circuit is discussed in more detain 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 / (added 3/03) 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....

1 W Experimental Output and 1 Meter Loop Antenna for 187 kHz Lowfer - This page describes an antenna, a 1 watt final output stage, and a transformation network for radio experiments at 187 kHz...(schematic / circuit added 6/07)

136 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, ....(electronic schematic / circuit added 4/02)

1750 Meter Lowfer Band amplitude modulated RF - The 74HC4060 oscillates at 6.000 MHz, and is divided by 32 to get 187.5 kHz. Pin 5 of the CD4060 is a 732 Hz square wave which can be used to modulate the output stage rather than using a micro controller, but in this instance, the modulation…(added 6/07)

2 Watt Amplifier (Andy Collinson) - Low distortion Amplifier using discrete components (added 6/07)

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. ….(circuit design added 11/08)

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)

40 Meter Popcorn Superhet Receiver - schematic for a no-frills, relatively low-cost CW superhet receiver with a 4.00 MHz Intermediate frequency. 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)
