The inspiration for the project came after attending the HamRadio 2000, Millenium Ham Meet @ Hyderabad (December 22, 23 & 24) where I met Grand Masters like VU2NR and VU2RM, OM Raju and OM Rao respectively. VU2NR`s newest design the NR-80 inspired me on doing something with my NE612. Om Raju uses 5 NE612 in his project to produce a Dual Band HF Tr

ansceiver, which I felt was a waste. The technique employed in the 9Mhz SSB Generator Module from Mizuho Company, Japan impressed me and I decided to work on those lines. This technique uses a single SN76514 with a crystal oscillator to perform both function, as a product detector in the Rx chain and a modulator in the TX chain. I was now interested in replacing the SN76514 with the NE612 and trying it out. I searched the entire web for details on this chip (SN76514) but could only find that it is a double balanced modulator like the MC1496. I continued my search for data on this chip until one fine day I bumped into a Japanese site of JA6HIC "Toshi". Here I found exactly what I was looking out for. Toshi has designed a lot of projects using various combination of Double Balanced Modulator. The one that impressed me the most was a project using NE612 IC. Following are some of the details that I have reproduced with the kind permission of Mr. Toshi, JA6HIC. The transverter circuit values are not correct, as these are to be tried out. The circuit is just for the information to a homebrewer. I would be working on the Transverter first, as with this, I could try out the 9Mhz SSB Module that I already have. I would be building the Transverter for the 14 Mhz band depending on the values from my DC Receiver project using the NE612 IC. I would surely be posting more details on this project as and when it progresses. I would be...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
