In order to allow as much flexibility as possible in construction and use, I have based the preamp. design on a

satisfactory manner than it is to devise a circuit with a
ruler-straight frequency response.
It is in these t'wo areas that I have made changes to

stage Q1 and Q2 are a super-matched beia pair operated in di{ferential, long-tailed pair configuration. They
provide source impedance matching and initial ampli
fication of the mic signal. Using a supermatched pair,
close-tolerance resistors and a differential-style output
to the op-amp means that noise and common-mode
fejection are excellent. The op-amp provides the
remainder of the amplification necessary and also
gives an unbalanced output.
Now,which type of circuitryshallwe use as the Mic
Input stage for the Annivercary 20 Mixer? Until next

you to muse over the information thus far presented

employed in the input Channel circuitry. Next month,

Welcome to our 1992 Spring Supplement - free with our compliments with your favourite
monthly magazine! lnside its 3z pages you'll find the usual mix of new and surplus items,
together with a preview of a new category to be included in future Catalogues - Graphic
Design Products. We're now stocking Staedtler and Kuretake pens, pencils, markers,
drawing instruments, boards and cutting mats, as well as Humbrol airbrushes and a wider
selection of paper, labels, stap/ers etc. Every constructor has to write and draw circuits from
time to time, so we hope fhese additions prove useful to you. There's a wide range of new
surplus lines all offering exceptional value for money, and don't miss the remarkable offer
of a Hitachi scope with 25% discount on the back page! WgJgek forward to receivin

coth outputs of the comparator are hlgh and the latch remains in its previous state.
The circuitry in-behveen the comparator and the latch, ensures
the light level is con$ant for approximately

lnstallation
Installation will vary from car to car since the lighting
circuit will be different from car to car Figure 3 shows
the t'wo most common lighting circuits and the connections necessary to the completed circuit. The best
way to establish the exact wiring layout is to consult the
relevant manual. However, it is normally quite easy to
determine how the car's lights are connected using a
meter to 'buzz out' the lighting switch connections. If
you are unsure if a relay is being used to switch the
dipped beam, check by measuring the curreni through
the dipped beam contacts of the lighting switch, i{ the
current is low (less ihan 1A), a relay is used. If the
current is high (8A), no relay is used The gauge of the
wire will also give you a good indication
If diode D8 is driving the dipped beam (cars with a
dipped beam relay) sleeve all the connections so there
is no chance of short circuits. If diode D8 is driving the
side lights, it will have to be mounted on a heatsink.
The heatsink can be made from a piece of PCB as

project of this type a bout turenty five years ago and suggested thai it might make a good pocket radio _ the
idea was later withdrawn!
The circuit of the solar powered radjo is shown in
Figure 1, and is basically just a conventional 2N414
design. L1 is a medium wave ferrjte aerial. I used an
aerial coil and ferrite rod from Cirkit, but anv commer,

Solar Radio
lis
\othing drastic seems to happen if hvo panels are sim:ly wired in parallel, but connecting any h/vo power
sources directly in parallel has to be considered a bad
:ractise. Therefore, diodes D4 and D5 are used to
ensure that one solar panel can not force a current
-jrrough the other one However, they can both feed
--neir output to the radio circuit.
Signal Tracer
signal tracer is a very simple but useful piece of audio
:est equipment It is basically just a high gain audio
amplifier feeding an earphone or a loudspeaker. You
irst check that the input signal to the faulty equipment
:s present. Then checks are made at various points in
--ne circuit, working from the input towards the output
.{t some stage the signal will be absent, or be at a
grosslyinadequate level, and the fault should then be at

With-a PNP transistor connected to the unit it stillfunc,

biasing and R6 acts as the collector load resistor. There

Continuity Tester
Producing a solar powered continuity tester seems
easy enough, but it is not quite as straightfon,,uard as
you might think. Firstly, the audio oscillator must produce a reasonably toud tone from some sort of loud
speaker, but it must draw a very low supply current A
low current audio oscillator is not difficult to produce,

behveen the bits of the COFDM modulated digital signais It thus becomes possible to envisage a neh,,rork of
lransmitters covering the country, all of which use the
same frequency. As well as using less of the precious
radio frequency spectrum than conventional systems,
such a system has the further advantage that it allows
for any gaps in coverage to be filled by buiJding low
power transmitters on the same frequency, since the
digital modulation system will ensure that any interfer

currently a fairly complex affair requiring a good deal
of exotic integrated circuitry, and if a single world
standard for DAB can be achieved rt will mean that
large scale production o{ Very Large Scale lntegrated
Circuits can get underway, and thiswill lead to verylow
cost receivers.
Since we cannot introduce DAB on a broadcast
band currendy used for AM or FM broadcasts, as existing services would be interfered with, DAB needs to
begin by of:erating in paralJel with existing services:

As the source for the analysis program is tengthy,

would just be hard graft copying it. For anyone who

Further Work
One disadvantage of the arrangement as described is
that the probe or rather the electronics does require a
current to provide the measurement. That is it is not a
true electrostatic volmeter and hence the circuit is not
strictly as shown in the early Figures. To be accurate the
ECR must be represented as having series resistance.
This means that the potential at the probe is not the
same as the atmospheric potential surrounding it,
except in the special case when the input current is
zero. However the input resistance of the system can
easilybechangedbychang
inFigure
8. This could be done und
I given a
suitable interface. There is therefore the opportunity to
take measurements at various input resistances. This
lends itself to the idea of solving simultaneous equations with two unknows. The true potential and the
resistance of the atmosphere.
Another change which can be made is to alter the
interval at which
