RF & Waveform Generator - Generates RF-Frequencys 0.8-2.5 GHz (resolution 100Hz) , 22MHz-512MHz (resolution 125kHz-1MHz depending on frequency) and Waveforms 0-100kHz (resolution 1Hz). Waveforms are Sine, Square, Triangle, Pulse, Sawtooth (positive and negative). All modes work independently and can be used at the same time. Very convenient user interface with LCD Display and up/down/cursor functionality. But please don't expect an easy to copy, 10 Minute instant design. The waveform part is a nice project for everyone, but the RF part is only for very experience hobbyists. __ Designed by Herbert Dingfelder
RF oscillator uses current-feedback op Amp - 10/03/02 EDN Design Ideas: A current-feedback amplifier is a well-known component with many uses. its basic block diagram shows that its input stage is a voltage follower—in practice, a symmetrical emitter follower (Figure 1). The configuration samples the output current, converts it to voltage across a large impedance, and amplifies it to the output using a high-power, low-output-impedance amplifier Design by Victor Koren, Tioga Technologies Ltd, Tel Aviv, Israel

RF signal generator - TR1 is a high gain FET (Field Effect Transistor) and is configured as a Colpitts style oscillator. The oscillation frequency is set by the variable capacitor (C1+C2) and the five pairs of switched inductors. There is significant overlap between the ranges, due to the limited range of readily available inductors. However even by using specially would inductors, four frequency bands would have been needed to cover the range. __ Designed by Paul Stenning
RF signal meter with LEDs - The simple but effective circuit presented here converts an RF input signal into a visible LED indication. Only discrete components are used.

Series Regulator with Q900 - This is a series regulator with Q900 being the control element, Q901 a driver, and Q902 an error amp. ZD900 forms the emitter reference voltage source. Since the generated high voltage and other voltages are linked by means of the magnetic field of T900, any change in H.

Set Reset Flip flop - This is an example of a set/reset flip flop
using discrete components. When power is applied, only one
of the transistors will conduct causing the other to remain off.
The conducting transistor can be turned off by grounding it's
base through the push button which causes the collector voltage
to rise and turn on the opposite transistor.
