The synchronous oscillator (SO) and the coherent phase-locked synchronous oscillator (CPSO) are universal multifunctional networks that track, synchronize, and amplify as much as 80 dB; improve SNR by ...

The chances are that many of you will have made an FM “bug” style transmitter, a simple one-transistor oscillator usually driven by a small electret microphone. It’s also relatively straightforward to ...

Imec has used an optimised CMOS process to fabricate vertically stacked gate-all-around (GAA) silicon nanowire transistors in a functional ring oscillator. The demonstrator shows the enormous promise ...

If you cultivate an interest in building radios it’s likely that you’ll at some point make a simple receiver. Perhaps a regenerative receiver, or maybe a direct conversion design, it’ll take a couple ...

Two tuners were developed for this receiver. The more sensitive one uses tetrode transistors in the RF amplifier, mixer and oscillator. Its disadvantages lie in a much higher cost and a 12 to 14 db ...
