Просмотров 2772 месяца назад
Principle of operation of the HP4329A high-resistance meter. Another interesting instrument from the Japanese HP Yokogawa group. A quick demo that measures a "very low" resistance of 32Mohms that unfortunately does not do justice to the capabilities of this instrument.
HP115BR - a frequency divider and digital clock
Просмотров 2632 месяца назад
From the 1960s, a digital clock used as a precision time reference driven by an external clock (100kHz). A well crafted, solid machine from yesteryear! Completely analog, using mixers (and injection locking/pulling?) to divide the clock down to 1kHz which eventually drives a group of dials/drums to display time to 1/100s resolution. Also has the ability to shift the time output to microsecond r...
Fully balanced RF mixers as attenuators
Просмотров 2242 месяца назад
The use of a fully balanced mixer as an RF attenuator. By injecting a current into the IF port (mixer output port), one of the RF ports can be made to "leak" its signal to the other RF port. The degree of leakage (or isolation) can be controlled by changing the DC current into the IF port. This video goes into the theory, experimental and simulation results of this technique.

On the Schematic it just shows an SCR it does not give a part number Voltage or Amperage Rating for a Replacement Part. How do you figure out what SCR to use in one of the Pyramid Power Supplies? I have a PS36KX and the SCR is blown and no part number.
I used a 2N6403G according to my notes. Datasheet should tell you all you want to know about this SCR. You want to put an SCR that can turn on quickly and conduct a short circuit current to blow the fuse in an over voltage situation. The SCR should be able to handle a current that is larger than the fuse rating, so that the fuse blows first.
I would like to ask, what are you using to clean it?
Initial clean up with a damp cloth, followed up with an ethanol wipe down. Deoxit spray used for the switches and potentiometers.
I got 0.7 to 0.4 voltage at output side . But I plugged on charging it's glow both led and not charging battery but its give 4.1v on charging. But we remove charging than its come to 0.7 to 0.4v
Looks like it's not working as intended. Both LEDs should never light up at same time. You are measuring the cell voltage when connected to the charger. Output should be at 4.2V or so if the charger is functional with no load.
Thanks, continue.
Hi sir, great video, Thanks.
You are welcome.
I think HP 5061A uses the same type of regenerative divider, at much higher frequency.
👍That's interesting.
Good job , thanks.
When i tune my sony icf 2010 to a fm station lets say the original frequency of the station is 91.5MHz but my radio will tune it at 91.55 MHz. Any idea what is the issue?
It's not possible to tell on FM if your internal oscillator is off. The phase-locked-loop (PLL) will get pulled to the correct frequency that is determined by the carrier which is at precisely 91.5MHz. You can use the sync function on AM to see where it switches between the upper and lower sideband on a strong AM signal. That will give a better idea of your radio's tuning inaccuracy.
@@analogwings yes i used sync to check tuning accuracy on am and it is totally accurate. Only fm has this issue all other receivers tune perfectly at 91.5 but sony tunes at 91.55 my radio was fully restored with new capacitors and new narrower fm filter maybe that is the reason i don't know.
Section 3 of the service manual goes into some detail about IF alignment and other oscillator frequency adjustments for FM. You will need to open up the radio and probe some internal test points.
Hello I realize it with altitude and barometer hpa it works fine. I am not an expert at all but all I2C screen are to small and I wish a greater screen but they are in spi interface? also I wish use the push push action to have 1013hpa base or true hpa. Could you please help me for ? Thanks Didier
Hello very intéressant. My altimeter is out. It is my second altimeter failed after 3 years. Were can I find the complete ino file in order to realize a fine an usable altimeter. Thanks Didier
The link IS ok but IS the rx0 and tx1 pin used with RX and TX pin of the hc-05 BT module ? Thanks
I don't use the BT module for this application. I included it when I was testing it out so the code is still there (the HC-05 TxD pin will connect to the Arduino RXpin, which you define, similarly for the HC-05 RxD pin). The altimeter uses the OLED display.
Great breakdown and video thank you for your work! SUBBED!!
Appreciate your work. Ref voltages explanation was missing, lower part of ckt on op amp, which many cannot understand, was not adequate for many technicians, this was the no comment. All are not engineers or high level tech. The explanation that helps, helps them all. Good work. Keep it going strong.
Hey man, really a nice explanation. I have some questions though, Can we connect over email?
Please post your questions here, others might find the discussion useful.
Nice build!
Thats so informative...thanks a lot..where are you located..1620 is some me station or you generated it from signal generator
You have to tune the radio to 1620 kHz (usually that frequency has no broadcasts on it). No need for a signal generator. You are trying to ascertain noise level on an unoccupied frequency at the boundary of two AM bands (MW and SW) which is the case for this radio.
Another capacitor leakage test video This video of video screen replacement is very helpful to me, it deserves praise
Very cool. I have designed something similar for my bench, the build is in progress. The benefits of having everything in one case are huge. Nice build!
Thank-you. It's not pretty but it's built like a tank and has saved my hide a few times!
Maybe add a geographical methodology to your approach... Meaning, divide the board in two - measure the center of each half - for the half having the lower resistance - half it again - repeat, until the short is located. HTH.
Thanks, it's an interesting suggestion.
I'm not really familiar with either but is the Boxcar Integrator a predecessor of a lock-in amplifier or do they operate differently?
Very different machines. Lock-in amps recover amplitude/phase info at a single frequency on a given input signal. Boxcars are used to recover amplitude info on any waveform using a periodic trigger. The boxcar integrator was invented before the lock-in amp (which are also more commonly found these days).
@@analogwings Thanks for replying; I guess I have some homework to do!
Hi, great information. is it possible to convert this schematic to measure the resistivity of a semiconductor. I suppose a 4 wire jandel probe as input
It will need some additional programmability of the current and understanding of non-ohmic contact effects. possible adjustment of gain depending on the substrate resistivity. a bit out of scope for this particular design. thanks for the comments.
Beautiful flight! Sweet landing!
thanks!
this is great design thankyou for sharing with us
Verygood एक्सप्लिनेशन.
Do you have gerber file for it, or detailed information for creating our own one? Thank you :).
Yes, I hope to release the Gerber files one of these days.
@@analogwings thank you :)
I think your integrator (LTC1049) is missing the charge limiting resistor. At least in the schematic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op_amp_integrator
Thanks for your comment. I wasn't too concerned given that the LM324 is limited to about 40mA output drive and within a few cycles of the integrator cap charging up to the offset voltage the current is fairly small. There is also some current limiting by the CMOS switch.
if provided cicuit ,i could get practiced..
Zeroing the resistance of the leads is, I think, non-negotiable if you are talking about doing accurate sub-ohm readings. I would instead add a button to run your auto-zero functionality which you press when leads are joined, and then shortly after you attach them to resistance to be read. In addition for meter of this class, I think I would be willing to spend the dollars simply on two dual precision opamps in order to make up the four you currently need. 2x OPA2189 or 1xOPA4189, or 2x4522-1 / 1x4522-4 etc.
Thanks for your comments. The unit does continuous auto-zeroing (rate adjustable) as you desire. Input (hi Z) of instrumentation amp is shorted out during AZ. The only major source of error in the prototype is gain drift due to the tempco of the current setting resistor. The amps have open loop gains ~100k (closed loop gain is 10) so virtually no error except non-linearity at the extreme of the range (7 to 8 ohms measured). I guess using higher spec amps is fine, but for 0.1% type accuracy, the current prototype meets that. The residual AZ offset is perhaps 10-100 uOhm which is also good enough I think.
@@analogwings The autozeroing is across an in-circuit shorted link, rather than across the length of the voltage measurement wires
Below 10-100uOhm level, the opamp input bias current and switch on resistance will begin to affect accuracy. IMHO, at the milliohm level, this AZ technique is quite acceptable. There are bigger sources of error when enters the sub milliohm domain than AZ. Definitely a lot more can be done to raise the accuracy to get to 0.01% or better.
😊👍🤗 Gut
Great job, man! I've just watched your 3 videos for the miliohm meter project! Thanks for the very useful information (especially about OpAmps)! :)

Very interesting video, and that's some fine 'bodge work' your early results look great on most ranges. The initial wandering about seemed to improve after a switch change could it be some dirty contacts on the wafer switches ? or have you cleaned them all please ?...cheers.
Thanks. I did clean the switches and improved the regulated +/- supply aesthetics/mounting. There might still be some resistors which may be slightly off. The crossover point also needs to be tweaked a bit.
Why not just use the Agilent 34401A meter? It has milliohms (4 wire)
I have tried the 4-wire Agilent 34401A measurements. It's reasonably accurate. Mine is a dedicated sub ohm meter and it has more resolution (and it is very portable).
Years ago I played around with ultrasonic transmitter / receiver devices aswell, and also did transmitt audio over the device. I used the 4060 IC to generate around 40KHz carrier frequency crystal controled. I did transmitt that with the transmitter, but not with much power because I do not know how much power these can handle, and I don´t want to damage the transmitter capsule. As receiver I used a mixer, that mixed up the signal into the mediumwave band, so it could be picked up by an AM Radio nearby. The whole unit was AM modulated, because in my oppinion this is superior to FM in this application, because the capsules were built to be resonant at 40KHz with best efficiency there. I used an inductor to couple the RF Signal into the Radio, so I placed the receiver close to the solderless breadboard with the prototype for the ultrasonic receiver, and was able to pick up the signal. The 40KHz Signal was converted to a frequency in the AM broadcast band, let´s say 1040KHz, and the radio was tuned to the frequency. I could get quite some distance of transmission range even with such a basic setup. Over a distance of at least 30-40 feet (without any kind of acustical amplification like putting a cone / cylinder over one of the capsules). Interesting effects appeared, as the ultrasonic sound did receive intefference from wind and other sources, which could be heared in the radio. The converter (40KHz Ultrasonic to 1,040MHz RF) was battery operated, so I could carry the receiver around. Sure has lots of potential. I imagine amplifying the transmitter power sure could give you a range of 300ft if not even more, but like I said, I did that some years ago, and haven´t touched this topic since then.
Sounds like an interesting experiment. Quite impressive! Thanks.
I did a follow up differential measurement (A-B) on the lock-in amplifier and I got a result of 26.4 mOhms for the device under test. This is the right way to do it if you care about ultimate accuracy from a purely set up point of view.
Love that back-lit meter and all of those knobs!
True! 🙂
I would not play with the math on my bench meter (which is 34411,by the way). I would just use the 4-wire method. If there is some problem with that, I would get that fixed. Both your and my meters are recent models and spare parts should be still easily available. In fact, I bought my meter as factory refurbished.
Hi at 2:13 it appears there was some file missing when creating the video. Hope you could fix this in the future. Thank you for the video.
Yes, I had mentioned that in the description. The information missing was the same as presented later at 2:34 (without annotations). Thanks.
You could easily turn your 34401 meter to your calibration reference. Just measure any of your low-ohm resistor in the offered 4-wire way.
Yes, I did try it but the results were different by around 1.5% for a 1ohm resistor. I know my 34401A has decent voltage accuracy, but can't say about the resistance mode especially for low values. I felt using an accurate SMU for current and the 34401A gave me the best results. I will see if I can get my hands on some 0.1% or better low valued reference resistors. Thanks.
Nice. Subscribed.
really cool repair, I'm glad you went into a lot more specifics in your task to acquire the right transformer. the 600A electrometer seems so much easier to deal with because it doesn't have a mains input and runs on batteries alone. still very cool video thank you for sharing
Thanks. I do prefer the AC mains operation since I heard that there are quite a few batteries (some hard to get) needed for the 600A. This one I can leave it on for a while to warm up without worrying about battery life.
@@analogwings yes this is true, there are many batteries but i have found a way around acquiring the rare ones.4 9v, 2 nimh D cells and 20 cracked open 23a cells shrink wrapped together gives you all the battery needed. i believe it the 600A doesnt have a 100 v or 30v range either unfortunetly.
@@cashewmilkfan Glad you are able to source the batteries easily. The 100V range (multiplier) is useful to me.
Appreciate the inside inspection. Good to compare to my bertan 313a which i can't find schematic for.

Normally never before 500 feets to retract the flaps. Nice video. I am not IFR it’s too hard for me !
Flaps can be retracted any time you have a good stable airspeed and positive rate of climb. No hard and fast rules on altitude. Thanks for your comment.
Hi sir, many thanks for this excellent video!! Greetings from The Netherlands, Willem Twee Studios
Thank-you! I like what you do with lock-in amplifiers and boxcar integrators for music.
@@analogwings Thanks :-) If possible, your clear description technique applied to a Lock-in Amp (if you maybe have access to one) would be very interesting as well!
very good explaination thank you a lot!
Thanks. Glad you found it informative.
🌈 ρгό𝔪σŞm
I kept using the terms "noise" and "uncorrelated" loosely. The boxcar integrator will reject harmonically unrelated signals or wide band noise that may be present on top of the signal of interest. Uncorrelated here is same as non-harmonically related components which over the sampling period don't contribute to the signal to be recovered. Pink noise or band-limited interfering signals will contribute to the averaging and skew the result.
The shaking isn't too bad or distracting. I would suggest a longer screen time for the longer pure text portions - some disappeared before I could finish reading. Also better contrast or boxed text for the running commentary. Finally, a pointer to point at things to correspond to the comments may be helpful
Yes, agreed! Realised that after viewing the video myself. Thanks.
Very nice video and easy music! Thank you for sharing !
