Menno van der Veen is well known for his research publications on tube amplifiers used in audio systems. In this book he describes one of his research projects which focuses on the question of whether full compensation for distortion in tubes and output transformers is possible. In the past, a variety of techniques have been developed. One of them has largely been forgotten: trans-conductance, which means converting current into voltage or voltage into current. Menno van der Veen has breathed new life into this technique with his research project titled “Trans”. This book discusses all aspects of this method and discusses its pitfalls. These pitfalls are addressed one by one. The end result is a set of stringent requirements for Trans amplifiers. Armed with these requirements, Menno then develops new Trans amplifiers, starting with Transie 1 and Transie 2. These DC-coupled, single-ended tube amplifiers have unusually good characteristics and are suitable for hobbyist construction. Next the Trans principle is applied to amplifiers with higher output power. A trial-and-error process ultimately leads to the Vanderveen Trans 30 amplifier, which optimizes the features of Trans. The characteristics of this amplifier are so special and unique that Menno believes he has struck gold. To ensure that variations in tube characteristics cannot interfere with optimal Trans behavior, Menno makes use of simulations and comparison with other amplifier types. This book reads like an adventure story, but it is much more – it is an account of solid research into new ways to achieve optimal audio reproduction.

Program and Build Raspberry Pi 5 Based Ham Station Utilities with the RTL-SDR The RTL-SDR devices (V3 and V4) have gained popularity among radio amateurs because of their very low cost and rich features. A basic system may consist of a USB based RTL-SDR device (dongle) with a suitable antenna, a Raspberry Pi 5 computer, a USB based external audio input-output adapter, and software installed on the Raspberry Pi 5 computer. With such a modest setup, it is possible to receive signals from around 24 MHz to over 1.7 GHz. This book is aimed at amateur radio enthusiasts and electronic engineering students, as well as at anyone interested in learning to use the Raspberry Pi 5 to build electronic projects. The book is suitable for both beginners through experienced readers. Some knowledge of the Python programming language is required to understand and eventually modify the projects given in the book. A block diagram, a circuit diagram, and a complete Python program listing is given for each project, alongside a comprehensive description. The following popular RTL-SDR programs are discussed in detail, aided by step-by-step installation guides for practical use on a Raspberry Pi 5: SimpleFM GQRX SDR++ CubicSDR RTL-SDR Server Dump1090 FLDIGI Quick RTL_433 aldo xcwcp GPredict TWCLOCK CQRLOG klog Morse2Ascii PyQSO Welle.io Ham Clock CHIRP xastir qsstv flrig XyGrib FreeDV Qtel (EchoLink) XDX (DX-Cluster) WSJT-X The application of the Python programming language on the latest Raspberry Pi 5 platform precludes the use of the programs in the book from working on older versions of Raspberry Pi computers.

Het is altijd interessant te weten wat er zich onder de motorkap afspeelt, wanneer er iets met uw auto niet in orde is. Het in de auto aanwezige diagnosesysteem helpt de fout te lokaliseren en de reparatiekosten te drukken. Zo hoeft u niet telkens wanneer een waarschuwingslampje gaat branden meteen naar de garage te gaan. Slechts met een passende interface voor het uitlezen van de foutcodes en de talloze meetwaarden van elektronische sensoren valt bij moderne auto's nog vast te stellen waar zich een fout voordoet. Naast een praktijkgerichte beschrijving van moderne diagnosemogelijkheden voor de ambitieuze autoliefhebber wordt in dit boek een goedkope zelfbouw-diagnoseinterface beschreven, en kunt u lezen wat er zoal aan kant-en-klare oplossingen op de markt is. Een ander zelfbouwproject betreft een multifunctioneel instrument dat continu en zelfstandig relevante meetwaarden in de auto aangeeft. Het onderwerp OBD (On Board Diagnose) wordt verder uitgediept door een uitvoerige beschrijving van de gangbare diagnoseprotocollen conform ISO 9141, ISO 14230 (K-lijn) en SAE J1850 (PWM, VPW). Oudere voertuigen van het Volkswagenconcern kunnen via KW 1281 aan de tand worden gevoeld en zelfs opnieuw worden geconfigureerd. Gewapend met deze kennis bent u na lezing van dit boek in staat eigen diagnose-toepassingen te ontwikkelen.
