Varactor-tuned, hybrid-feedback, low-voltage BJT regen
Post by qrp-gaijin » Mon Oct 14, 2013
I've successfully built a low-voltage, varactor-tuned, hybrid-feedback Vackar-Hartley regenerative detector/oscillator and have gathered some data on the frequency-dependence of the threshold oscillation level. For those not familiar with the topic, please see the following documents (by TheRadioBoard member vladn) for background reading: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3714
and http://www.kearman.com/vladn/hybrid_feedback.pdf
The basic idea is that the threshold oscillation level can be equalized over the oscillator tuning range, a procedure referred to below as "balancing the tilt".
One goal of mine from the start was to attempt to apply the hybrid feedback approach to a varactor-tuned oscillator. My initial attempts were rather ambitious and failed due to my lack of experience with the hybrid feedback adjustment method and with varactor-tuned oscillators. …
Thanks. It has one of the clearest explanation of a very useful fast transform.
I first learned of that transform from the article in the magazine.
I have worked out a lot of applications for it but there is so much noise from papers, social media etc, that important things are just regularly missed/overlooked.
