RF
receiver /beeper
The RF receiver /alert beeper is
shown in Fig.
5; the
receiver
circuit
is
a
superregenerative receiver. An
am-
plitude- modulated RF carrier is cou-
pled from the antenna, through CI,
into T1, and then to QI's base. Re-
sistors RI -R4 bias
QI
for an emitter
current of approximately
I mA.
Ca-
pacitor C5 bypasses
the RF signal,
but not audio signals, to ground. The
value of
C2 is
selected
to cause
self -
oscillation, or
motorboating,
which is
a
requirement
of
a
superregenerative
detector. In that
configuration, Ql os-
cillates
at an
RF
frequency of 49.890
MHz, at
a
repetition
rate of approxi-
mately 450
kHz. During
each
450
-
kHz
cycle, just before
Ql breaks into
RF oscillation,
the
circuit
functions
as a
very-
high -gain
RF amplifier.
Transistor Ql's
average DC emitter
current increases
and decreases ac-
cording to the amplitude of the
RF
signal. Because
the RF signal is am-
plitude-
modulated by a 490 -Hz
tone,
a
490
-Hz
voltage
appears
at
the
junc-
tion of Ql's collector
and
R4.
C7 cou-
ples the 490 -Hz signal from
the
receiver
to
op -amp
ICI -a,
which
pro-
vides
10 -dB gain. ICI -b further am-
plifies
and clips the
signal, shaping
it
into square
pulses. Resistors R7 -R9,
R12, and RI3 allow
ICI to
be
powered
by a single
-ended power supply.
The square-wave
pulses from ICI -b
are fed
to tone -decoder IC2 through
R15
and CIO. The decoder's
input
-
signal
voltage
is reduced by R16,
