In the ham radio trade, gear such as the old Drake units [Dr. Scott M. Baker] has in his radio shack are often referred to as “boat anchors.” It refers to big, heavy radios that were perhaps a bit ...

[Tom Hall], along with many hams around the world, have been hacking the Silicon Labs Si5351 to create VFOs (variable frequency oscillators) to control receivers and transmitters. You can see the ...

Oscillator drift remains one of the most critical threats to precision timing in high-performance communication systems. In ...

Since its invention over a half-century ago by Hanz Camenzind at Signetics, the familiar 555 analog timer (in league with its updated pin-compatible CMOS descendants) has become an iconic design ...

Of all the low-frequency oscillator configurations, the Wien Bridge has to be the friendliest and easiest to get along with. Like a faithful dog, it behaves itself regardless of the weather, is not ...

Analog IPs are developed to meet a set of specific requirements, and to change its specifications for a different application, a significant amount of time and effort may have to be applied on ...

The circuit was created to produce an oscillator operating at low frequency for use in the production of electronic music and experimenting and testing tone controls. Oscillator – an electronic ...
