In this post I have explained the complete building procedure of a 2-meter amateur ham radio transmitter circuit, using ordinary electronic components and ordinary test equipment. What is 2-Meter VHF Radio The 2-meter amateur radio band is a section of the VHF radio spectrum, which includes frequencies ranging from 144 MHz to 148 MHz in […]

Electronic Ballast Circuit for UV Germicidal Lamps
In this post I have explained the construction of a DC UV germicidal lamp ballast circuit which can be used for driving any standard 20 watt UV lamp through a 12 V DC source. Although, the proposed ballast design was originally meant for illuminating a regular 20 watt fluorescent tube light, this can be also […]
How Laser Microphones or Laser Bugs Work
A laser microphone is a security monitoring gadget in which a laser beam is used for detecting audio vibrations across faraway targets, which are normally walls or glass of homes or offices. These devices could be applied for eavesdropping with virtually no chance of getting identified or cover getting blown. Laser eavesdropping gadgets, it is […]
RF Amplifier Circuits and RF Converters
In this article I have explained a few high frequency RF converter and preamplifier circuit designs which can be used for amplifying or enhancing the reception of an existing RF receiver. All the RF amplifier circuits provided below are intended to be placed near an existing amateur radio receiver or a matching radio set in […]
Simple FET Circuits and Projects
The Field-Effect Transistor or the FET is a 3 terminal semiconductor device which is used for switching high power DC loads through negligible power inputs. The FET comes with some unique features such as a high input impedance (in the megohms) and with almost zero loading on a signal source or the attached preceding stage. […]
The Role of Inductor Coil in SMPS
The most crucial element of a switched mode converter or an SMPS is the inductor. Energy is stored in the form of a magnetic field in the core material of the inductor during the brief ON period (ton) switched through the connected switching element such as MOSFET or a BJT. How the Inductor Works in […]
