4 Circuits G7A9 Symbol 1 is the Field Effect Transistor. Notice the arrow is NOT POINTING IN, so this is an N Channel FET. 4
5 Circuits G7A10 Symbol 5 is the Zener diode, used for voltage regulation. 5
6 Circuits G7A11 See the transistor all the way to the right, symbol 2? Again, the arrow is NOT POINTING IN so it is an NPN junction transistor. 6
7 Circuits G7A12 It s easy to spot the transformer we find it at symbol 6, and the 2 vertical lines may indicate an iron core. 7
8 Circuits G7A13 This is what gives away the Hartley oscillator; symbol 7, the tapped inductor. This provides us with the feedback necessary to keep the oscillator oscillating! G5C4 If we have three equal value resistors in parallel, we will have three individual paths for current to flow, decreasing each like resistor s ohmic resistance by 1/3. You can do this one in your head: 1/3 the resistance of each 100 ohm resistor is 33.3 ohms. If you want to do it the long way, here is the formula: G6A6 Heating a resistor always decreases its resistance. The amount of change for any particular temperature change depends on the resistor s temperature coefficient, which depends on the materials used in the resistor s construction. 8
9 Circuits G6A8 When you earn your new General license, you may hook up with another station thousands of miles away who will ask you what the weather is. Likely you have one of those new wireless weather stations, and the temperature sensor uses a component called a thermistor. The thermistor is a resistor that is designed to maximize changes in value with temperature variations. This makes it a great reference for slight changes in temperature. G5C10 Treat inductors like resistors when working an either series or parallel problem. This one you can do in your head. Three 10 millihenry inductors in parallel, total inductance will be 1/3 or 3.3 millihenrys when connected in parallel. G5B2 If you add up the current in each branch of a parallel circuit, you will come up with the total current in the circuit. 9
10 Circuits G5C5 If we have three like resistors in parallel that together produce 50 ohms of resistance, each individual resistor would have a value of 150 ohms ( ). Now check your answer if we have three 150 ohm resistors in series, the total resistance adds up to 450 ohms. G5C15 While you can solve this problem with a big formula, always remember that with unlike resistors in parallel, just like unlike capacitors in series, the resulting answer will always be less than the smallest value component. 5.9 ohms is a logical answer to solve for when you work the big long formula all the way out. G5C3 Another easy one here to add more resistance to a circuit, we add resistor(s) in series. G5C8 Calculating total capacitance in parallel is easy it is the sum of each individual capacitor (remember they say two) = picofarads. Capacitors in parallel simply add up. The formula is: CT = C1 + C2 + C3. 10
11 Circuits G5C9 We have three like capacitors in series since they are in series, like resistors in parallel, total capacitance will be 1/3 of each 100 microfarad cap microfarads is an answer you can do in your head! The formula is: CT = 1 (1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3.) G5C11 Easy one. Just like resistors add up in series, so do inductors = 70 millihenrys. G5C12 Calculating for total capacitance of unlike capacitors in series is much like the formula for calculating unlike resistors in parallel: (C1 x C2) (C1 + C2). In this equation, the total capacitance will always be less than the smaller capacitor, so 14.3 microfarads can be confirmed as the correct answer. G5C13 If we need to add some additional capacitance to a circuit which already has a fixed capacitor, we would add a second capacitor in PARALLEL. 11
12 Circuits G5C14 If we need to increase the inductance (L) of a circuit, we would simply add another inductor in SERIES. G5A2 Inductive reactance is the opposition to AC caused by inductors. Capacitive reactance is the opposition to AC caused by capacitors. Both reactances vary with frequency. When there is an inductor and a capacitor in the same circuit, there is a special frequency, called the resonant frequency, where the inductive reactance equals the capacitive reactance. G5A3 Think of an inductor as a coil of wire. Its opposition to AC is called inductive reactance, identified as XL. XL = 2 fl where f is the frequency in hertz and L is the inductance in henries. XL increases as frequency increases. G5A9 The ohm is the unit of measurement for reactance as well as resistance. 12
13 Circuits G5A4 A capacitor has plates separated by an insulating dielectric. Its opposition to AC is called capacitive reactance, identified as XC. XC =1/2 fc where f is the frequency in hertz and C is the capacitance in farads. XC decreases as frequency increases. G5A6 Capacitors offer reactance to AC inversely proportional to the frequency. Capacitors have high reactance at low frequencies and low reactance at high frequencies. Remember, as f increases, XC decreases (XC =1 2 fc). G5A5 Inductors (coils) are effective in reducing alternator whine in high-frequency mobile installations. The higher the alternator whine frequency, the greater the reactance from the inductor. Remember, as f increases, XL increases (XL = 2 fl). 13
14 Circuits G5A1 The term impedance means the opposition to the flow of alternating current in a circuit. Impedance to AC can be made up of resistance only, reactance only, or both resistance and reactance. You can create impedance to AC by winding a wire around a pencil to create a coil. This handy choke might minimize the alternator whine that may come in on your new worldwide mobile highfrequency station temporarily mounted in your vehicle. G5A10 The ohm is also used for measuring impedance. Thus, the ohm may mean impedance, reactance, or resistance. G5A11 Two AC circuits might be impedance matched by using coils and capacitors (LC) between the two circuits. G5A12 When impedances are matched, we will have the greatest amount of power transfer. An impedance matching transformer allows us to precisely match radio stages for the maximum transfer of power. 14
15 Circuits G5A8 When internal source and load impedances are matched, maximum power will be delivered to the load. Most new ham HF radios will automatically reduce power output when there is an impedance mismatch. G5A13 There are plenty of ways we can match impedances at radio frequencies. Up at the antenna, we sometimes will use fractional wavelength impedance-matching transmission lines. In a radio RF output stage, we might use an impedance-matching Pi-network. And within the radio, small transformers will allow us to impedance match. All of these are great ways for providing the maximum transfer of radio frequency energy. G5A7 Always make sure your new General Class worldwide antenna systems have an impedance around 50 ohms for maximum power transfer. Some General Class ham transceivers have built-in, automatic impedance-matching antenna tuner networks. 15
16 Circuits G5C6 As we discussed earlier, impedances should always be the same for maximum transfer of power. Therefore, you want the low-pass filter to have the same impedance as both the transmission line and the ham transceiver to which it is connected. G6A5 As a Technician Class operator preparing for your General Class ticket, you probably had a chance to look at VHF/UHF equipment circuit boards. Pieces of art, right? These rigs use SMT (surface mount technology) that places components directly on the board to minimize lead inductance. Conventional capacitors with long lead connection wires have reduced effective capacitance. 16
17 Circuits G6A7 If you were able to scrape off the brown glaze coating on a wirewound resistor, you would quickly see it looks exactly like a coil with evenly spaced turns. Actually, it IS an inductor and would not be suitable in any circuit that could be detuned accidentally through the use of the wrong component. Normally, we find wire-wound resistors in simple DC applications where we need to drop a small amount of voltage with relatively high current being passed. G6A3 The ceramic capacitor is the workhorse in ham radio equipment. Their reliability is very good, and their comparatively low cost helps to keep ham radio equipment reasonably priced. 17
18 Circuits G6A9 When you pass this test and earn General Class privileges, you may begin to operate High Frequency PORTABLE. A couple of rigs actually have batteries on the inside! With any portable transceiver, including VHF/UHF handhelds, make sure they never get dropped! Dropping radio equipment can fracture the brittle iron cores within a toroidal inductor, which fractures easily. The ferrite core within a toroidal inductor offers large values of inductance, with most of the magnetic field contained within the core so it does not affect other nearby components. The toroidal inductor may be used in applications where core saturation is desirable, so all of the answer choices to this question are correct. G6A10 Solenoid inductors will interact if they are placed side by side, due to mutual inductance. To minimize this, 2 solenoid inductors should be placed at right angles to their winding axes to minimize unwanted mutual inductance. Just think of how a transformer winding FAVORS mutual inductance, but in this case, at right 18 angles will MINIMIZE the effect.
19 Circuits G6A11 If you have ever opened up your radio for a close look at all of the gizmos inside, you probably spotted several copper wire coils near the antenna output jack. Notice that none of these coils are parallel to each other. And the same thing for any coils deep within the receiver or transmitter RF sections of your radio most coils are at right angles to each other to eliminate stray coupling between the RF stages, or are placed in small cans to minimize mutual inductance. G6A13 An inductor may be a small coil of wire and, in addition to offering a specific value of inductance, it may inadvertently offer inter-turn capacitance at some frequencies. This could cause the coil to become self-resonant, because we have now created both inductance and capacitance within a single component. G5C1 Think of a transformer with interlaced coils. Through mutual inductance within the transformer, voltage applied to the primary will also appear across the secondary. Mutual inductance. 19
20 Circuits G5C2 We normally hook the source of energy to the primary winding of a transformer. G5C6 This is a turns ratio problem, and is relatively easy to solve using the following equation: Es = Ep X (Ns / Np) = (Ep X Ns) / Np which means the voltage of the secondary is equal to the voltage of the primary times the number of turns of the secondary divided by the number of turns of the primary. It is derived from the equation that says that the ratio of the secondary voltage, ES, to the primary voltage, Ep, is equal to the ratio of the turns on the secondary, NS, to the turns on the primary, Np. Es / Ep = Ns / Np Multiply 120 (EP) times 500 (NS), and then divide your answer by This gives you 26.7 volts. Calculator keystrokes are: Clear, 120 x = and the answer is 26.7 volts. 20
21 Circuits G5C7 The equation that applies is: Np / Ns = qzp / Zs The ratio of the turns on the primary, NP, to the turns on the secondary, NS, is equal to the square root of the ratio of the primary impedance, ZP, to the secondary impedance, ZS. Remember that this turns ratio is primary to secondary. Don t worry if you have forgotten about square roots. There s an easy way to solve the problem. The primary impedance, ZP, of the transformer must match the 600-ohms output impedance of the amplifier; therefore, ZP is 600 ohms. Divide 600 ohms by 4 ohms, the speaker load impedance on the secondary, and you end up with 150. Cont. 21
22 Circuits Cont. Now you need to find the square root of 150. You know that a square root multiplied by itself gives you the number you want. You can do it by approximation. Since 12 x 12 = 144 and 13 x 13 = 169, you know that the square root of 150 is between 12 and 13. The only answer given that is close is Choose it and you have the correct answer. See, you didn t have to remember how to do square roots. The calculator keystrokes are: Clear, x 150, then press the square root key to produce the answer,
