In this section we are going to analyze and troubleshoot the AM converter circuit. the converter, also known as autodyne circuit, is a combination of the local oscillator and the mixer in a single stage. We are also going to discuss the power supply and audio amplifier problems in this section Upon completing this section, you should be able to Troubleshoot an AM converter circuit Identify an open input circuit Identify a dead or intermittent local oscillator circuit Identify causes for a dead and intermittent local oscillator Troubleshoot the receiver’s…
Read MoreCCTV Switcher Circuit using Timer IC 555
Here is a simple project CCTV Switcher circuit using timer IC 555 and decade counter IC 4017. The basic function of this project is to switch between different CCTV cameras sequentially i.e. one CCTV output is displayed on TV at a time. A CCTV (Closed Circuit Telephone) camera is used for video surveillance by using a video camera. Sometimes one CCTV camera is not sufficient for surveillance entire area thus we have to use multiple cameras to cover the entire area of surveillance. The circuit posted here control four CCTV…

Read MoreTV | FM Antenna Installation
TV and FM antenna installation practices will be preferred to throughout this discussion. Installing TV and FM antennas portrays fairly standard practices that should be followed when doing any kind of communications antennas installation. Never neglect safety. Standard operation procedure should always make safety first on the list of things to do. Locate power lines, telephone lines, and obstacles that could interface with the installation or present a hazard to the installers. A tower structure would require a concrete base as the supporting structure. Guy wires need room for proper…

Read MoreHow to Test Crystal Oscillator
Here is the procedure of testing crystal oscillator, oscillator capacitor and oscillator inductor. In a previous article we had posted a circuit called universal crystal oscillator tester for testing crystal oscillator. Now we had posted simple method which is summarize in few point on How to Test Crystal Oscillator below. An oscillator with a bad crystal may not oscillate at all, may be erratic, or may not oscillate at the correct frequency. One common crystal failure mode is a broken or corroded internal connection. Or if the crystal has been dropped,…
Read MoreAccident Detection and Alert System using Arduino
Today in this article we are going to build a project called Accident Detection and Alert System using Arduino UNO, GSM module, GPS module, and Vibration Sensor Module. The vibration sensor module used in this project is used to detect the change in linear velocity, displacement, or acceleration. The GPS module detects the exact location (longitude and latitude) and the GSM module is used to send all information to the mobile number assigned in the software code. You may also like the Car Lock System using Arduino and GSM modules.…
Read MoreProblem and Troubleshooting of Power Supply
Power supply has a considerable role in electronic communications equipment. The power supply furnishes the voltage and current requirements for electronics circuit operation. Special high-voltage power supplies used in microwave systems and laser systems enable large power handling tubes and semiconductor circuits to operate. In this section, we are going to look at popular types of power supply circuits and some faults that can occur in them. In this section, we’ll also learn to troubleshoot a traveling wave tube amplifier. Improper operating of a TWT can nearly always be traced…
