From SRPP and Mu-Follower to OTL Designs Tube amplifiers suffer from distortion. Fortunately, circuits such as the SRPP amplifier, mu-follower, and beta-follower produce minimal distortion even at output voltages of 50 to 100 Vpeak. These designs are often published with errors. Without a sound understanding of the theory, it is easy to arrive at a flawed design. In the first section of this book, we investigate the origin of distortion, while in the second we investigate the design of and SRPP and a mu-follower. On the internet we can find the most exotic designs. Evaluating them teaches us that these designs often make matters worse rather than better. In the chapter on incorrect SRPPs and mu-followers, we sometimes see bizarre and misguided designs where using a simple single-triode amplifier would perform much better. Push-pull output stages also exist. A great number of them are examined, and their similarity to the SRPP is discussed. This is done especially with the help of the theory behind the OTL based on the ‘mother’ of all OTLs, the Philips HF303. Finally, attention is given to frequency characteristics and technical matters such as the supply voltage and the filament power supply. To illustrate these points, there are a few designs covering the subjects discussed. This book presents much new theory that has not been published before. It is often an eye-opener, showing that many things have a beautiful and unexpected simplicity.

Aus der Reihe "Stromversorgung ohne Stress" (Band 4) Renaissance der linearen Stromversorgungen Mittlerweile gibt es fast nur noch Schaltnetzteile. Da diese rauschen und stören, sind sie nicht für alle Einsatzzwecke die beste Wahl. Ursache sind durch den Schaltbetrieb erzeugte Hochfrequenzschwingungen, die in die Netzleitung und die Umgebung strahlen. Lineare Netzteile liefern Gleichspannungen von höchster Qualität. Über Brummen und Rauschen braucht man sich wenig Sorgen zu machen. Auch der Aufbau ist im Vergleich zu Schaltnetzteilen unkritisch. Wenn man überhaupt von Nachteilen bei linearen Netzteilen sprechen kann, wäre nur das höhere Gewicht zu nennen. Lineare Stromversorgungen sind auch einfach zu verstehen, können aus Standard-Bauteilen aufgebaut werden, sind leicht zu modifizieren und reparaturfähig und damit nachhaltig. In diesem Buch geht es um den Entwurf und den Bau von linearen Stromversorgungssystemen für kleine und große Leistungen. Aber auch Randthemen wie die lineare Steuerung von Verbrauchern und Kompromissen aus Kombinationen von Schaltnetzteil und linearem Netzteil oder Hilfsschaltungen wie lineare Lasten sind Bestandteil des Buches. Bei dieser Gelegenheit gibt es ausreichend Raum für die Besprechung der Grundlagen, der technischen Details, der Fallstricke und von Tipps und Tricks.

Das Durchführen von Messungen gehört zu den grundlegenden Tätigkeiten eines jeden Elektronikers, wie das tägliche Brot zum Leben. Ob bei der Entwicklung von Schaltungen, der Überprüfung während der Produktion oder bei der Fehlersuche in defekten Geräten: Messgeräte sind das wichtigste Handwerkszeug und kommen stets zum Einsatz. „Wer misst, misst Mist“ lautet ein oft zitiertes Motto. Damit dem nicht so ist, muss der Elektroniker wissen, was er tut, muss die Genauigkeit seiner Messgeräte und vor allem die Schwachpunkte des Messverfahrens kennen. Hier setzt dieses Buch an: Ausgehend von theoretischen Betrachtungen und Begriffsdefinitionen geht die Reise von den einfachen Zeigerinstrumenten über Multimeter und Oszilloskop hin zu FFT-Analysen und spezialisierten Messgeräten wie Audio-Analyser, Schallpegelmesser, Geräte- und Installationstester.

A Combat Guide against E-waste and Throwawayism This book is for anyone who enjoys tinkering with analog and digital hardware electronics. Regardless of the sophistication of your workspace, only basic tools are required to achieve truly satisfying results. It is intended as a reference guide among other hardware repair publications you may have in your library. However, the book goes a step further than most other repair guides in addressing issues in the modern era of discarded electronics called e-waste. E-waste should be put to good use. Producing anything new requires not just precious resources and labor, but also energy to make and deliver it to global retail shelves. Your talents and love of electronics can be put to good use by rescuing and resurrecting at least selected units from this endless stream of e-waste. Examples include either restoring through repair, or salvaging reusable electronic and mechanical components for your next project. Smart tips are provided throughout the book, and much information is tabulated for easy reference. The book expands age-old repair and hacking techniques applied for repair on the workbench into clever methods and applications to achieve effective results with discarded or “non-servicable” electronic consumer products. The final chapter provides real-life examples using all of the previously discussed content in a summarized form for each example repair type.

Inhalt Grundlagen Ein Steckverbinder ist ein elektromechanisches System, das eine lösbare Verbindung zwischen zwei Subsystemen eines elektronischen Gerätes ohne inakzeptable Auswirkung auf die Funktion des Gerätes schafft. Im Folgenden wird dargestellt, dass es eine Menge komplexer Zusammenhänge gibt, die richtig gehandhabt werden müssen, um diese Aussage wahr werden zu lassen. Kontaktdesign & Verbindungstechnik Dieses Kapitel bietet einen Überblick über die Ausführungen und die Materialanforderungen bei Kontaktbeschichtungen, Kontaktfedern und Steckverbindergehäusen und beschreibt zudem die wichtigsten Schädigungen bei diesen Steckerkomponenten. Ferner werden wir uns hier den Kriterien für die Materialauswahl widmen. Neu hinzugekommen ist das Konzept des „Level of Interconnection“ (LOI). Hier wird beschrieben, an welcher Stelle der Steckverbinder innerhalb eines elektronischen Systems eingesetzt wird und seinerseits abhängig von der Verwendung die Anforderungen und die eigene Lebensdauer beeinflusst. Anwendungen Dieses Kapitel zielt auf die Praxis ab: Hier wird gezeigt, wie Kunden Steckverbinder in ihren Anwendungen einsetzen. So werden einige Möglichkeiten veranschaulicht, um Ihre tägliche Arbeit zu erleichtern. Auch enthält das Kapitel einige Spezialthemen, die Ihnen erweitertes Hintergrundwissen vermitteln sollen. Hierzu gehören etwa die Whiskerbildung im Zinn oder die Impedanz von ZIF-Kabeln.

Quite unintentionally a one-page story on an old Heathkit tube tester in the December 2004 edition of Elektor magazine spawned dozens of ‘Retronics’ tales appearing with a monthly cadence, and attracting a steady flow of reader feedback and contributions to the series. Since launching his Retronics columns, Elektor Editor Jan Buiting has never been short of copy to print, or vintage equipment to marvel at. This book is a compilation of about 80 Retronics installments published between 2004 and 2012. The stories cover vintage test equipment, prehistoric computers, long forgotten components, and Elektor blockbuster projects, all aiming to make engineers smile, sit up, object, drool, or experience a whiff of nostalgia. To reflect that our memories are constantly playing tricks on us, and honoring that “one man’s rubbish is another man’s gem”, the tales in the book purposely have no chronological order, and no bias in favor of transistor or tube, microprocessor or discrete part, audio or RF, DIY or professional, dry or narrative style. Although vastly diff erent in subject matter, all tales in the book are told with personal gusto because Retronics is about sentiment in electronics engineering, construction and repair, be it to reminisce about a 1960s Tektronix scope with a cleaning lady as a feature, or a 1928 PanSanitor box for dubious medical use. Owners of this book are advised to not exceed one Retronics tale per working day, preferably consumed in the evening hours under lamp light, in a comfortable chair, with a piece of vintage electronic equipment close and powered up.

Einführung und praxisorientierte Grundlagen Die Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV) hat einen zwiespältigen Ruf: Einerseits gilt sie als langweilig, manchmal als teures, wenn nicht gar unnötiges Übel, andererseits wird sie auch mystisch verklärt – als „Hightech-Voodoo“. In diesem Buch wird der Versuch unternommen, der EMV den Schrecken zu nehmen – durch methodisches Arbeiten und das richtige Verständnis der elektrotechnischen Grundlagen. Elektromagnetische Beeinflussungen unterliegen zwar stochastischen Prozessen, der Erfolg ist aber kein Zufall, sondern der Lohn systematischer Arbeit. EMV ist eine Frage der Produktqualität! Dieses Buch bietet einen Einstieg in das Thema EMV. Es stellt die oben genannten Zusammenhänge dar und gibt Elektronikentwicklern, Systemingenieuren sowie interessierten Hobbyelektronikern einen Überblick und ein Handbuch zum Thema EMV – natürlich, wie so oft, ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Die Idee zu diesem Buch entstand bei der Erstellung von Vorlesungsskripten. Viele Beispiele und Erfahrungen aus der jahrelangen Praxis sind in dieses Buch eingeflossen.
