The behavior of analog circuits can often be characterized by sweeping their inputs with a signal going across a range of frequencies and then observing the output. These sweeps can be composed of ...

This project made me feel a kind of kinship with Diogenes, although I was searching for the item described in the title rather than for an honest man. Figure 1 “Diogenes Looking for an Honest Man,” a ...

This circuit generates a two-tone effect very much alike the cuckoo song. It can be used for door-bells or other purposes thanks to a built-in audio amplifier and loudspeaker. Agreeable, very close ...

[Eric Wasatonic] had a box of SWB2433 transistors that he had very little information about. In order to discover their properties, he fired up his curve tracer to compare these transistors with more ...
