    Hartley Oscillator: How Does It Produce a Sine Wave?

    Well, here we have a oscillator, where collector resistance was replaced by L2&C3 to improve the oscillation by removing some harmonics, by adjusting tank circuit-values, better filtering can be achieved (Note: just made it in two minutes or so, didn't really calculate any values). Now I can...

    Hartley Oscillator: How Does It Produce a Sine Wave?

    Averagesupernova: I think you misunderstood me, when I was talking about oscillator as a BP-filter, what intended to say was: Since, oscillators tend to produce more harmonics, tank circuits are introduced on collector side of transistor in order to clean up the signal. How much noise are we...

    Hartley Oscillator: How Does It Produce a Sine Wave?

    what: are you sure about 360? ;) You're required to get a 180 degree phase shift in your feedback loop in order to be able to sustain oscillation at a particular frequency. Start up kick is not produced by a noise, but by an initial transition between zero volts and up to a Vcc level(resulting...

    Troubleshooting an Odd Square Wave Oscillator: A Scientist's Analysis

    Berkeman is right, much easier to use 555 and those "schematics" from the net usually never work, since they are put together by amateurs, not engineers.

    Smallest cycle time for electronics

    Well, i missed k with M, sorry about that.

    Smallest cycle time for electronics

    well, 100Mhz rate is not that high, a lot of circuits can handle those speeds. Just be sure to check specs for the components before u start building. So you know that they are capable of operating at such frequencies. Are you planning to use transistors in your design? HS switching transistors...

    PC-Based Oscilloscope Building: Get Started Now!

    I think someone has already asked a similar question. I just can't find this thread again. The approach is like this: -Define specifications of you scope Bandwidth, Sampling Rate Input impedance, Attenuator/Amplifier stage Power supply (dual or single) Since you want to start with a...

    damn... you're right ;)

    Find Fourier Transform of 1/1+4t^2

    Use the fact that your expression can be expressed as \int{\frac{f(t)}{g(t)}dx}, where f(t) = e^{-j\omega t}, g(t)=1+4t^{2} and proceed as stated by the rule. If i remember it correctly it goes something like \frac{f'(t)g(t)-g'(t)f(t)}{g(t)^{2}}

    Laser Electronics: Solutions for Chapter 6 Problems in 3rd Edition

    I think that everyone is capable of reading fonts in normal size ;) Homework questions should be posted in homework section. Before asking for help we'll need you to show, what were your attempts at a solution.

    Engineering General second order circuit problem - Find V(t) for t > 0

    I'll second to that, s-domain (laplace) will make your life much more easier ;) Neo, are you a mind-reader or something, was about to say about Cramer's rule as well :biggrin:

    What Are the Top Circuit Simulators for Different Skill Levels?

    I've been using several sims, but it seems that orCAD is the best. But if you prefer writing your own netlists, try any of spice variants ;)

    FM Spectrum Questions - Answers Needed

    That's looks like an frequency/amplitude shift keying scheme to me. The answer depends on what you're modulating, are you modulating an amplitude of the carrier, or are you modulating a frequency? Only carrier present, will result in one spike on a spectrum analyzer at the carriers frequency...

    FM Spectrum Questions - Answers Needed

    Pretty good explanation about FM is done http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/navy/docs/es310/FM.htm". Hmm, all your questions are arising from not knowing how fm is created. You can actually get all the info from deriving equations. Just start with some carrier frequency f(\omega (t)) = A\cdot...

    BJT: common-base amp; moving-coil microphones/preamps

    I'm aware of the points you stated, but I just wanted to explain that you don't need to use hi-Z configuration having a Lo-Z input, when you already have a nice low-Z config to use. "hmm.. still thinking of impedance matching :biggrin: "
