FOREWORD

AS modern radio and electronic equipment becomes more and more


complex, it is necessary for the radio designer, engineer, and amateur,
to have available in convenient form a large amount of essential reference
data.
In compiling this book, the aim has been to provide as wide a range of
material as possible, which, if sought by the normal means would involve
lengthy research through many volumes. The actual contents are a signi-
ficantly different and wider cross section of the available information than
that at present contained in other books of this type.
In general the data is presented in the form of curves, tables and charts
with only sufficient text to permit its effective use. In adopting this method
of presentation it has been assumed that the reader will have sufficient
fundamental knowledge for the direct application of the data. Where
theoretical information on any subject is required the reader is referred to
the RSGB Amateur Radio Handbook or other appropriate reference
book.
It is inevitable that in compiling a reference book of this nature a large
and varied number of sources should be consulted. Acknowledgement,
therefore, is made to the editors and authors of the many technical journals
and text books to which reference has been made.
It is hoped that this new publication will fill a very real need in radio
circles. Any suggestions that readers feel may improve this book will be
welcomed by the author and every effort will be made to incorporate
these in any subsequent edition.
The author would like to express his indebtedness to Messrs. G. C. Fox,
MIEE, G3AEX, R. F. Stevens, G2BVN, and G. M. C. Stone, MIEE, G3FZL,
all of whom are members of the RSGB Technical Committee, for assist-
ance in compiling data and reading proofs. Particular thanks are also due
to Mr H. L. Gibson, c.Eng., MIEE, BRS1224, for the complete revision of
the section on r.f. power amplifiers.

where N = number of turns

n = number of turns per inch
L = inductance in microhenries (pH)

Slug Tuning. The variation in inductance obtainable with adjustable slugs


depends on the winding length and the size and composition of the core and no
universal correction factor can be given. For coils wound on Aladdin type F804
formers and having a winding length of 0.3-0.8 in. a dust -iron core will increase
the inductance to about twice the air -core value: a brass core will reduce the
inductance to a minimum of about 0.8 times the air -core value.

Transformer Ratios
The ratio of a transformer refers to the ratio of the number of turns in one
winding to the number of turns in the other winding. To avoid confusion it is
always desirable to state in which sense the ratio is being expressed: e.g. the

R.F. POWER AMPLIFIERS
In a tuned amplifier the anode and
grid voltages are of sine -wave form
and in -phase opposition. The anode
current does not flow continuously,
but in a series of pulses whose dura-
tion varies from 40° to more than
180° of each complete cycle of 360°.
The grid current flows for a shorter -V91 Vg2 Va
duration, since this only occurs when Fig. 4.
the grid is positive relative to the
cathode. Figs. 4 and 5 show the
basic circuit and phase relationships,
respectively. It will be seen that the
peak values of anode and grid
currents occur when the anode
voltage is at a low voltage and the
grid voltage is at its maximum posi-
tive value. The design methods given
here are based on the location of this
point on the valve characteristic
curves and the translation of the
peak values into r.m.s. and mean
values, by applying factors derived
from a Fourier analysis of sine and
sine squared pulses of appropriate
angles of flow. This method is very
much quicker and only slightly less
accurate than the alternative of
plotting load lines on constant
current characteristics.
The method is best illustrated by a typical example; in this case a transmitting
tetrode type TT21 (7623) has been used. The valve has a rated continuous
anode dissipation of 37.5 watts. Its characteristics measured at /8, = 140 mA
are: mutal conductance (g,,,) = 11 mA/V, and inner amplification factor
(i.1,0 -g) = 8. The relevant valve curves are shown in Figs. 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Class C Telegraphy
A typical angle of anode current flow (20) for class C telegraphy is 120°.
Smaller angles give increased efficiency, but at the expense of increased peak
emission demand, greater driving power and possibly shorter valve life. Larger
angles are sometimes used when power output is more important than efficiency.
The design factors required for calculations are F1, F F3 and F,. These can
be obtained from the curves in Fig. 10 for an angle of 0 of 60°. These are:
Fi = 4.6 F3 = 2.0
F. = 1.8 F4 = 5.8.
The design formulae are:

In order to choose a value for anode input which will exploit the ratings of a
chosen valve, an estimated efficiency may be assumed. Alternatively, the input
may be fixed by other considerations, such as available power supplies or licence
regulations.
A reasonable efficiency for a class C amplifier, at frequencies up to 30 Mc/s,
is 75 per cent. Hence, for the valve chosen, which has an anode dissipation
rating of 37.5 watts:
37-5
Anode input = - 150 watts
1 - 0.75
At an anode voltage of 1000 this corresponds to a d.c. anode current of
150 mA.
From Equation (1) calculate Ia(pk) = 4.6 x 150 = 690 mA. Next locate the
current on the values' Anode Current (la) Anode Voltage (Va) characteristic
(Fig. 6) at a low value of anode voltage, just inside the knee of the curve; this
corresponds to an anode voltage of 150V and a grid voltage of + 12V.
From Equation (2), calculate va(ps) = 1000 -150 = 850 volts.
1.8
From Equation (3), calculate P out = x 0.15 x 850 = 115 watts.
2
The anode dissipation is the difference between anode input and power output.
p,, (dissipation) = 150 - 115 = 35 watts.
This dissipation is sufficiently close to the maximum rating and can be accepted
for the rest of the calculation. If the figure had been greater or considerably
lower than the rated maximum, a new design should be made using a different
power input, angle of flow or minimum anode voltage Va(min).
The chosen valve is a tetrode and from Equation 4(b) calculate grid voltage:
300 x 2 + 12 x 1 = - 87 volts.
-Vg
From Equation (5) calculate vs(pa) = 87 + 12 = 99 volts.

Calculate:
Vg
= 87
- = 0.88 and from Fig. 12 read values of F5 and F5.
Vg(pk) 99
These are 11.7 and 1.975, respectively.
From the Grid Current (Ig), Anode Voltage ( Va) curves of the TT21 (7623) a
peak grid current of 32 mA occurs at Va = 150V and Vsi = +12V.

From Equation (6) calculate Is = -32 2.75 mA.

From Equation (8) calculate Par = 32.5 + (2.75 x 87) = 273 mW.
The driver stage should produce considerably more than this minimum power
in order to allow for losses in the coupling system.
From the screen grid current (/42) anode voltage (V.) curves of the TT21

power amplifiers.
Anode Modulated Amplifiers
Anode modulated amplifiers are designed in a similar manner to that given
for class C telegraphy, but checks must be made to ensure that the required
conditions at the modulation crest are met.

At the modulation crest, the anode and screen voltages will be increased but
the bias will be unchanged; hence the angle of anode current flow will increase.
Typical values are between 150° and 180°. In making a design, it is necessary
to assume an angle and later check the accuracy of the assumption.
In the following equations, values at the crest of modulation are indicated by
('), thus 0' may be between 75° and 90°.
Since the amplifier is assumed to be linear, then:
Pout = 4 Pout (12)
Va(pk) = 2 Va(pk) (13)
Hence Va(min) = 2 Va(min) (14)
By using Equation (3) rearranged, the anode current at modulation crest
can be calculated from-
l'. -- Pout x 2 (15)
P2 X V2(Pk)
and from Equation (1)
ra(pk) = F'1 X l's
Normally, the positive grid voltage may be assumed to have the same value
as calculated at the carrier.
The peak working point corresponding to .i/a(pk), V'a(min) and Vgj_k(pk) must
be located on the anode current (h) anode voltage (V.) curves.
In the case of a tetrode, a value of the screen voltage must be found which
satisfies these conditions. In triodes, it may be found that a different (usually
greater) value of vs_k(pk) is required to satisfy i'.(p.) and v'a(mi.).
The grid current at the modulation crest is sometimes significantly less than
at the carrier. By using some grid leak bias, the angle of flow can be increased
to 180°, requiring less bias, and hence making available an increased positive
grid excursion. An alternative is to supply sufficient modulation to the driver
stage to provide the required positive excursion.
For convenience of illustration, it will be assumed that the foregoing class C
telegraphy design is now to be modulated, but it should be noted that this will
not necessarily give a practical result, since the anode dissipation rating may be
exceeded during modulation.
It is usual practice to quote anode dissipation ratings at carrier (unmodulated)
conditions of two-thirds of the maximum valve rating. This is based on the
assumption that the average power dissipation will be increased by 15 times

pation37.5
when modulation is applied. In the valve used for the example, the anode dissi-
under modulation must be reduced to -= 25 watts.

In practice, however, with speech waveforms of relatively high peak to mean
ratio, it is satisfactory to use a rather higher dissipation rating. When speech
compression is used, or continuous 100 per cent tone modulation is applied, it
is important to ensure that the actual anode dissipation under modulation
conditions is within the maximum rating.
Returning to the previous design
From Equation (12) calculate Yout = 4 x 115 = 460 watts.
From Equation (13) calculate v'a(pg) = 2 x 850 = 1700 volts.
From Equation (14) calculate Va(mia) = 2 x 150 = 300 volts.
Assuming an angle of anode current flow (20) = 150°, then:
F'1 = 3.75
F', = 1.69
F'3 = 1.35.
a = r460 x 2
From Equation (15) calculate 320 mA
1.69 x 1700
From Equation (1) calculate I'a(pk) = 3.75 x 320 = 1200 mA.
In order to obtain a peak working point where I'a = 1200 mA at Va(mia) =
300V, it is necessary to find the correct value of screen voltage, it being assumed
that the grid voltage for the carrier conditions is still available (+ 12V).
From the 1.1Va curves for the valve at various screen voltages when Vg1 = 0,
it is now necessary to predict the screen voltage required to produce /a(pa) -
1200 mA at Va(min) = 300V and Vgi = 12V.
From the TI'21 data, the mutual conductance (gm) at Ia = 140 mA is 11 mA/V,
therefore, at I. = 1200 mA, the mutual conductance will increase to:
(1'.(pk))113 (1200)113
or which gives 22 mA/V.
(A) (140)
From this it follows that the anode current at Vg1 = + 12V will be 12 x 22 =
264 mA greater than the value at V61 = 0 V.
The point on the characteristic curve that now has to be found is for V., =
300V, Ia 1200 - 264 = 936 mA. This corresponds to a screen voltage of 465V.
The screen voltage should therefore be increased by slightly more than 1.5
times when the anode voltage is doubled by modulation. The modulation
transformer should be designed to provide this screen modulation point either
by a tap on the main winding or by additional winding.
The assumed angle of flow can be checked to see if it is realistic, by calculation
of the bias from Equation (4b).
- V'gi = 465 x F35 + 12 x 0.35 = - 82.5 volts
8
This is close enough to the original value of - 87 volts for a practical design.
In practice, the regulation of the driver source, the change of grid current when
the screen voltage is raised, and the method of obtaining the bias, will modify
the available positive grid voltage at the crest, but the calculation gives sufficient
guide as a practical starting point.
Class AB and Class B Linear Amplifiers
In class AB and class B linear service, the amplifier is required to handle
modulated waveforms without distortion. The amplification of single sideband
suppressed carrier signals is the most usual example.
In a class B amplifier, the angle of flow of anode current is close to 180°.
An acceptable design can be made using the procedure given for class C tele-
graphy but with 0 = 90°.
In practice, however, such amplifiers are operated with some standing anode
current (Ago) in the absence of a signal, as a means of improving the linearity.
24
Class AB amplifiers invariably operate at significant standing anode current.
Design curves based on angle of flow are therefore inconvenient; curves based
on the ratio of mean anode current under driven conditions to standing anode
current are more useful.
The curves given in Fig. 13 are suitable. In these, F, corresponds to F2 and
F. to F2; from which, under these new conditions:
Peak Anode Current Ia(pk) = F, x la (16)
Power Output, Pout la X Va(pk) (17)
2
In a typical class AB amplifier driven to maximum peak envelope power the
valve will have an anode efficiency of about 70 per cent. The anode dissipation
is a maximum at some value of drive less than the maximum. The anode dissi-
pation at maximum drive must therefore be less than the maximum rating, say
80 per cent.
Taking the same example as used for the class C calculations, the TT21 (7623),
an anode dissipation of 30 watts is a suitable starting point. In a final design,
the values must be chosen so that, taking into account the peak to mean ratio
of the modulation waveform does not cause excessive anode dissipation.
Taking anode dissipation as 30 watts and anode efficiency of 70 per cent,
then:
300.7
Anode input Pin = 100 watts.
1

Decide on the anode voltage; in this case, take V. = 1000V; then the anode
current Ia = 100 mA.
Next, it is necessary to decide the zero signal (standing) anode current 4(o);
this depends on a compromise between efficiency and intermodulation distortion.
Generally a current corresponding to about 66 per cent of the rated anode
dissipation is typical from which
Ia(o) = 2- 37.5 = 25 mA.
3

ThenA- = 4
Ia(o)
from Fig. 11 F5 =- /99 and F6 = 1.53
and from Equation (16) Ia(pk) = /99 x 100 = 299 mA.
Locate this current on the 12IV., characteristic curve to find the value of
Va(min). To preserve linearity it is important that this point is not in the curved
part of the knee characteristic.
From the curve a value of 100 volts is suitable.
Hence:
Va(pk) = 1000 - 100 = 900 volts
and from Equation (17) Pout = L-53 x 0.10 x900 = 69 watts
2
Anode dissipation pa = 100 - 69 = 31 watts.
The calculation of driving power (if any) and anode load impedance follow
the same procedure as for class C telegraphy. The bias will, however, be decided
by the chosen value of Ia(o). The approximate value can be taken from the
characteristic curve, but in practice should be set to give the required value of
Ia(o).
The intermodulation of linear amplifiers is frequently assessed by using a
test signal consisting of two or more signals (tones) of equal amplitude. The
average power output will decrease as the number of tones is increased in the
test signal as shown in Fig. 14.
25
In the usual case of a two tone test signal, and assuming ideal linear charac-
teristics, the relation between single and two tone conditions is:
I, (two tone) = -2is ,(singletone)
Average input power:
Fin (two tone) = Va X h (two tone)
Average output power:
Pout (two tone) = 1rout (single tone)
2

Grounded Grid Operation


All the preceding designs are based on the assumption that the signal is applied
to the grid and the cathode earthed (grid drive or common cathode connection).
Sometimes the signal is applied to the cathode and the grid earthed (grounded
grid or cathode drive connection).
This arrangement has the advantage of improved stability usually without
neutralizing. It has the disadvantage that much greater driving power is required
than that needed for grid drive connection, but some of the driving power is
recovered in the output circuit.
The driving power Par = (Vg X 4) + Pgi (Vgi(pk) x F2 x Is)
2
The drive power which appears in the output - (vgj(Dg) x F, x
2 Is
In the case of a tetrode, there is a small additional driving power which is not
recovered in the output; this occurs due to the product of peak drive voltage and
the fundamental component of the screen current. It is usually sufficiently
small to be ignored.
Frequency Multipliers
Frequency multipliers are class C amplifiers in which the anode circuit is
tuned to a harmonic of the drive frequency, and may be designed in the same
way as a class C amplifier. In general, smaller angles of flow are used, as this
tends to increase the harmonic output.
The factor F2, which in the amplifier design gives the ratio of peak fundamental
to d.c. anode current, is replaced by a factor giving the ratio for peak harmonic
to d.c. anode current. These factors for harmonics up to the fifth are shown in
Fig. 15.

PI -NETWORK TANK CIRCUITS FOR 11-30 Mc/s
For these charts the values of C and L are calculated for a loaded Q of 12, to
give a fair compromise between harmonic reduction and circuit efficiency. The
mechanical details of the inductance can be obtained from Chart 5 on page 33.
An example illustrating the use of this chart is given on page 28. The C and L
charts are based on equations from an analysis of the pi -network with its source
and load resistances (Fig. 16a) in terms of equivalent parallel tuned circuit and
coupling inductance (Fig. 16b).
Procedure
Determine the value of RI, the load resistance of the amplifier valve, from
the known values of h.t. voltage and current. The peak r.f. voltage at the anode
of a class C amplifier may be taken as 0.8 the d.c. voltage (Vi):
Vpeak = 0.8 Vb
The efficiency, typical for the frequencies covered is 70 per cent.
Pout = 0.7 Pin . . . (2)
where Pin = power input in watts, Vb x Ib (the efficiency for a doubler is
approximately 50 per cent and for a tripler 30 per cent).

Fig. 16. Circuit of the pi -network, showing components referred to in the text.
The output of the pi -network is usually required to match into a character-
istic impedance of the coaxial cable carrying the r.f. to the aerial or other load
and typical values of 50 ohms and 72 ohms for R2 have been selected for the
charts. For interstage pi -coupling networks, e.g. coupling from the anode of a
buffer stage to the grid of a p.a. stage, the value of R2 will be given by the input
impedance of the following stage. A close approximation to the required value
of R2 under these conditions is given by:
R2 = (P drive x 622 x 108/P) ohms (5)
where P drive = drive power required by the driven valve in watts and I = d.c.
grid current in milliamps.
When an undecoupled shunt grid resistor is used to obtain the operating bias
for the driven valve, its resistance will appear in parallel with R2 as calculated
from equation (4) and modify its value. There will also be an additional power
loss in the grid resistor whether decoupled or not, equal to /g2 (d.c.) Rg, which
must be supplied by the driver stage in addition to the r.f. circuit losses. This
power loss will also be present when a separate bias supply is used and in this
case is equal to 4 (d.c.) Vg (d.c.).
Having determined the values of RI and R2, the method of using the charts
is as follows:
(i) Obtain the value of Cl in pF from Chart 1.
(ii) Obtain the value of C2 in pF from Chart 2.
(iii) Obtain the value of the equivalent inductance Le in [LH from Chart 3.
27
(iv) Obtain the value of the reflected inductance Lr in µH from Chart 4.
(v) Add the value of Le and Lr together to give the total inductance LI.
(vi) Determine the diameter and number of turns on the coils to give the
inductance LI from Chart 5, using the following method:
(a) Fix values for turns per inch of winding and also for the diameter of
the coil. Where the inductance is to be constructed from heavy wire or
tubing the outside diameter of the resulting inductance should be used.
When hexagonal section coil former stock is to be used the effective
diameter will be 90 per cent of the diameter across opposite corners.
(b) Divide the inductance in microhenries by the square of the number of
turns per inch to obtain the " one -turn coil " inductance Loin microhenries.
(c) Enter Chart 5 from the right-hand side, at the value of Lo obtained
from (a), to the appropriate D curve and read off the length of the required
coil in inches at the bottom of the chart.

Abac for determining grid tank circuit capacitance C
for a Q value of 12. Use of the abac is illustrated at
right. Join the selected values of Pg and Ig by a line
PQR. Nate the point Q on the Xc/X,. scale. Join the
point Q to the appropriate frequency T on the
extreme left-hand scale. The required value of C is
given at the point S. The corresponding value of L
is given by the reactance value XL at the point Q RQ
divided by 6.28 x frequency in Mc/s. Al ively, Reference
L can be obtained from the reactance chart on page Point
92. For push-pull and parallel connections, the
appropriate values of grid current and power are
those for the two valves together.

WIDEBAND COUPLERS
Most wideband couplers consist of two tuned circuits, individually resonant
at the same frequency and coupled together. The coupling is usually inductive,
but the general characteristics are the same with any type. From Fig. 24, it can
be seen that as the coupling is increased from zero, the single -peaked response
rises to a maximum, flattens out, then divides into two peaks. Further increase
in coupling results in greater separation and sharpness of the peaks. Note that
the twin peaks are not caused by detuning, but by close coupling of two circuits
tuned to the same frequency. The coupling coefficient is the ratio of the mutual
inductance between windings to the inductance of one winding. This is true
where the primary and secondary are identical; for simplicity, this is taken to be
the case.
When the peak of the response is flat and on the point of splitting, the coupling
is at its critical value, which is given by:

Ice = -Q(Qp = Qs)

K - 0.01
K- 0015
K - 0.03

FREQUENCY-e.
Fig. 24. Effect of varying the coupling between the coils in a wideband coupler
(after Terman).

Hence, the higher the Q, the lower the coupling required. In a normal i.f.
transformer, the coupling is set at the critical value; however, for use in wideband
couplers, it is convenient to have it slightly higher. The design formula and
practical values given below are based on a coupling/critical coupling ratio of
1.86, corresponding to a peak -to -trough ratio of 1.2 : 1, or a response flat within
2db over the band. Other values can be obtained from the references.
The most convenient way of introducing variable coupling between two tuned
circuits is with a small trimmer between the " hot " ends of the coils (see Fig. 25).
This is equivalent, except where phase relationships are concerned, to a mutual
inductance of the value:
M- C
L

Hence the coupling coefficient is:


k= C
1

The purpose of the damping resistors shown in Fig. 25 is to obtain correct circuit
Q; they should not be omitted, unless triodes are used. The secondary damping
resistors are also the grid resistors of the next stage, and should never be omitted.
In class A amplifiers, they may be simply shunted across the secondary with no
blocking condenser. In wideband multipliers, R should be the same for all bands,
so that the output stage grid resistor will be correct for each coupler. Primary
and secondary coils should be as near identical as possible, and tuning done
36
with trimmers only. This does not apply to the 28 Mc/s coupler as strays neces-
sitate the use of dissimilar Qs.
Given set values of damping resistance, passband, and centre frequency, all
values may be calculated from the following formula::
Bandwidth (kc/s)
k = 0.84
Centre frequency (kc/s)

Q=1.86

L=k
27rfQ

C =L-2sr-f
where C is in ILF, L is in µH and f is the centre frequency in Mc/s. R is in ohms.
Note that C includes all strays; if the calculated value of C is less than the
estimated strays on any band, a lower value of R should be used. The bandswitch
can increase the strays to 20 pF (0.00002 p.F) or more.

Coupling capacity, Cl, is given by:

Cl =
1 kC
Fig 25. Basic coupler circuit.

As the percentage bandwidth on 21 Mc/s is so low, this band could be covered


adequately by a single low -Q tuned circuit such as a self -resonant coil. However,
values for this band are given in Table 1, which is based on a value for R of
15K ohms on all bands. The coverage of some of the couplers is greater than
the band limits, as they are needed to multiply up to 30 Mc/s. The 28 Mc/s
coupler was specially designed with different primary and secondary Qs, as the
strays were greater on the output side than the identical -Q coupler tuning
capacity. This coupler allows 30 pF total capacity, which should be ample for
most layouts. The anode side strays are covered adequately by 10 pF, as there
is no switch and only 2 pF anode -to -cathode capacity and wiring strays. The
coil data is for f in. diameter formers, and a total winding length of I in.

HALF -WAVE FILTERS


Filters of this type are extremely effective when used on the band for which
they are designed. The minor disadvantage that a filter is required for each
band is largely offset by the simplicity of construction from readily available
components. In the table below, all
capacitors are disc ceramic* type and
should be rated at a minimum of
1000 volts working for use with a.m.
transmitters running inputs of up to
150 watts. The inductances are all

TRANSMISSION LINE RESONATORS
When designing a resonator to be used as a tank circuit it is necessary to know first
how long to make the lines. The resonant frequency of a capacitatively loaded
shorted line, open -wire or coaxial, is given by the following expression :
1
-Z0 tan 27r/
27rfC
where f is the frequency
C is the loading capacity
A is the wavelength
1 is the line length
Zo is the characteristic impedance of the line.
The characteristic impedance is given by
Zo = 138 logo -o
for a coaxial line with inside diameter of the outer do and outside diameter of the
inner conductor di
2D
Or Z0 = 276 log"
for an open -wire line with conductor diameter d and centre -to -centre spacing D.
The results obtained from these expressions have been put into the form of
the simple set of curves shown in Fig. 31 on page 45.
In the graphs, fl has been plotted against fC for different values of Zo, with f in
Mc/s, C in pF and I in centimetres.
In the case of coaxial lines (the right-hand set of curves) r is the ratio of
conductor diameters or radii and for open -wire lines (the left-hand set of curves)
r is the ratio of centre -to -centre spacing to conductor diameter.
The following of the graphs quite clear:
Example 1
How long must a shorted parallel -wire line of conductor diameter 0.3 in. and
centre -to -centre spacing 15 in. be made to resonate at 435 Mc/s, with an end -
loading capacitance of 2 pF (the approximate output capacitance, in practice, of a
QQV03-20 push-pull arrangement)
First, work out f x C, in Mc/s and pF.
fC = 435 x 2
= 870
= 8.7 x 102.
The ratio, r, of line spacing to diameter is:
r- 1-5
0.3
5.0.

Then, from the curves marked " parallel -wire lines," r = 5.0 project upwards
from 8.7 x 102 on the horizontal " f x C " scale to the graph and project across
from the point on the graph so found to the vertical "f x 1" scale, obtaining:
fl = 2800
280350
therefore, 1= = 6.45 cm. approximately.
4
The anode pins would obviously absorb quite a good deal of this line length but,
if the lines were made 6 cm. long, with an adjustable shorting -bar they would be
certain to be long enough.
Example 2
A transmission line consisting of a pair of 10 s.w.g. copper wires spaced I in.
43
apart and 10 cm. long is to be used as part of the anode tank circuit of a TT15
or QQV06-40 p.a. at 145 Mc/s. How much extra capacitance must be added at
the valve end of the line to accomplish this?
For a pair of wires approximately * in. in diameter spaced 1 in. r is about 8.
Also f x lis equal to 145 x 10, i.e. 1450. Estimating the position of the " r -= 8 "
curve for a parallel -wire line between " r = 10 " and " r = 7," f x C is found to
be about 1.55 x 103, i.e. 1550. Hence the total capacity C required is given by
145 x C = 1550
C = 1550 + 145
= 10.7 pF.
Now the output capacitance of a TT15 or QQV06-40 push-pull stage is around
4 pF in practice, so about 7 pF is required in addition. A 25 + 25 pF split
stator capacitor should therefore be quite satisfactory giving 12 to 15 pF extra
at maximum capacity.
Example 3
A coaxial line with outer and inner radii of 5.0 and 2.0 cm., respectively, is to be
used as the resonant tank circuit (short-circuited at one end of course)for a 4 X150A
power amplifier on the 70 cm. amateur band. What length of line is required ? .
In this case: f x C = 435 x 4.6 = 2001.
Using the " r = 2.5 " curve for coaxial lines,
f x 1 = 4620
Hence 1= 4620 + 435 = 10.6 cm. approximately.
This length includes the length of the anode and cooler but, as in Example 1,
a line 10 cm. long would be long enough, as the output capacity used in the
calculations is that quoted by the valve manufacturers, the effective capacity
being somewhat greater in practical circuits. A shorting bridge is the best
method of tuning the line to resonance.

OVERALL LENGTH OF ARRAY (A)
Fig. 46.
The gain of a Yagi array increases as the number of elements increases. In the graph
"2 elements" signifies radiator -plus -reflector: "3 elements" therefore implies one director,
and so on. The length of the array is expressed in units of wavelength. The curve shown
here is due to S. Kharbanda, G2PU

CONDUCTOR LENGTH / DIAMETER RATIO
Fig. 47.
Design chart for Yagi arrays, giving element lengths as a function of conductor length -to -
diameter ratio. The tuning factor L is divided by the frequency in Mc/s to give the lengths
in feet. These curves are for arrays of overall length 0-3A, with reflector reactance +40 to
+60 ohms and director -30 to -40 ohms, and give arrays of input impedance between
IS and 20 ohms. Element lengths which fall within the shaded areas will give an array which
can be used without further adjustment, though the front -to -back ratio may be improved
by adjusting the reflector.

Fig. 48.
Nomogram for folded dipole calculations. The impedance multiplying factor depends on
the two ratios of conductor diameter to spacing between centres, and is always 4 : I when
the diameters are equal. A ruler laid across the scales will give pairs of spacing/diameter
ratios for any required multiplier. In the example shown the driven element diameter is
one -tenth of the spacing and the other element diameter one -quarter of the spacing,
resulting in a step up of 6 : I. There is an unlimited number of solutions for any given
ratio. The chart may also be used to find the step-up ratio of an aerial of given dimensions.

WINDING COILS ON STANDARD FORMERS
Coil formers of the Aladdin type are widely used in modern radio equipment.
Two charts have been prepared to enable calculation of the neci-csary winding
data to be made quickly and easily.
Use of Fig. 54
The use of Fig. 54 on page 68 is best illustrated by describing a typical calcu-
lation.
Example: It is required to wind a coil on an Aladdin type F804 (17e in. diameter)
former which will resonate at 7 Mc/s with a 50 pF capacitor.
The method is as follows:
1. Draw a straight line through 50 pF (axis A) and 7 Mc/s (axis B).
2. Project the line to cut axis C and read off the required inductance, which in
this case is 10-3 uH.
3. Draw a horizontal line through 10.31.d1 on axis D and a vertical line through
a reasonable winding length (say 0.5 in.) and determine the most suitable wire
gauge to use, i.e., 32 s.w.g.
4. From the 32 s.w.g. curve determine the exact winding length to give an
inductance of 10.3 p.H, i.e. 0.48 in.
The coil required will therefore be close wound with 32 s.w.g. enamelled
copper wire and 0.48 in. long.
If desired, the number of turns may be calculated using wire tables from which
it will be found that the turns per inch for 32 s.w.g. enamelled copper wire is 83.
Hence, a winding 0.48 in. long will consist of (83 x 0.48) = 39.8 turns.
The following table, prepared from information provided by the
London Electric Wire Company, shows the minimum turns per in.
for enamelled copper wire of the gauges most commonly used by
amateurs.
Gauge Turns Gauge Turns
20 s.w.g. 26 c.p.i. 32 s.w.g. 82.6 t.p.i.
22 s.w.g. 33 t.p.i. 34 s.w.g. 96.2 t.p.i.
24 s.w.g. 41.5 t.p.i. 36 s.w.g. 116.3 t.p.i.
26 s.w.g. 50.3 t.p.i. 38 s.w.g. 1441 t.p.i.
28 s.w.g. 61 t.p.i. 40 s.w.g. 178.6 c.p.i.
30 s.w.g. n5 t.p.i. 42 s.w.g. 212 t.p.i.

For coils of low inductance, i.e. less than 1µH, it is advisable to space wind
rather than close wind with a heavy gauge wire. Curves are, therefore, given in
Fig. 54 for pitches of 10, 15 and 20 turns per inch using 26 s.w.g. enamelled
copper wire. Other gauges may be used, however, without introducing significant
errors.
The values shown in Fig. 54 for Aladdin F804 formers have been calculated
for formers without cores. The variation in inductance obtainable with dust -iron
or brass cores depends on the winding length and composition of the core material
and no simple correction factor may be quoted. However, for coils between
0.3 and 0.8 in. long a dust -iron core will give a maximum possible inductance of
about twice the " core -less " inductance and a brass core a minimum possible
inductance of about 0.8 times the " core -less " inductance. These factors should
be borne in mind when designing variable inductances from the charts.
Use of Fig. 44
The inductance required is found from Fig. 54 in the same way as for Aladdin
F804 formers and the winding details determined from Fig. 55. Measurements
show that the effect of a screening can on the average coil wound on 0.3 in. dia-
meter formers is to reduce the inductance by about 5 per cent. When designing
very low inductance coils, an allowance of approximately 0.15 itH should be
made for the leads.

SEMICONDUCTOR POWER RECTIFIER DIODES


Surge Suppressors
Switching surges can be reduced by the inclusion of a series CR circuit across
the primary or secondary of the power transformer or across the d.c. load circuit.
Typical component values may be calculated from:
70W
C=
where W = power transformer rating in watts
V = r.m.s. voltage of the circuit concerned
R = five times the effective load resistance.

Voltage Sharing Resistors


Equalisation of the voltage across series connected diodes can be effected by
connecting a resistor in parallel with each diode.
The value of the required resistors may be calculated from:
R = If- ohms
KI
where V = p.i.v. rating of the diodes
I = maximum peak reverse current rating of the diodes
K = a constant depending on the number of diodes connected in series:
two diodes, K = 1; three diodes, K = 1.2; four diodes, K = 1.5;
five diodes, K = 1.7; six diodes, K = 2-0.

AMATEUR TRANSMITTER RATINGS
Methods of calculating power input for Al and A3 transmitters (p.a. anode
voltage multiplied by the anode current in amps, gives the input power in watts)
are well known but other systems, particularly single sideband and grounded
grid amplifiers present a somewhat different problem.
Single Sideband Transmitters
The radio frequency output peak envelope power under linear operation from
an A3A or A3J transmitter must not exceed that from an A3 transmitter working
at an overall efficiency of 66 per cent when supplied with the appropriate maximum
permitted d.c. input. The output power shall be measured, using an oscilloscope,
by the following process:
(i) Adjust the A3 transmitter output stage for class C working and apply a
pure sinusoidal tone to the transmitter. With the d.c. input power limited
to the maximum value appropriate to the frequency band concerned
note the peak -to -peak deflection on the cathode-ray oscilloscope.
(ii) Adjust the transmitter for single sideband linear operation and replace
the tone by speech; the maximum deflection on the cathode-ray oscillo-
scope, showing the r.f. output caused by the peaks of speech, should not
be greater than twice the previously measured deflection obtained with
tone input.
As an alternative, the output power of an s.s.b. transmitter may be measured
using a resistive dummy load, r.f. ammeter or voltmeter and oscilloscope, by the
following method:
(i) Apply two non -harmonically related sinusoidal tones of equal amplitude
to the s.s.b. transmitter, with the carrier fully suppressed, and adjust the
input power to give a mean radio frequency output power under linear
operation of 200 watts (see Note 1) when measured into a resistive load
by means of an r.f. meter (see Note 2). Under this condition note the
peak -to -peak deflection on the cathode-ray oscilloscope (see Note 3).
(ii) Replace the tone by speech; the maximum vertical deflection on the
cathode-ray oscilloscope shall not be greater than the previously recorded
deflection obtained with the two-tone input.

Note 1 200 watts mean radio frequency output power in the case of those bands
limited to a maximum d.c. input power of 150 watts; 66j and 13+ watts for those
bands limited to a maximum d.c. input power of 50 watts and 10 watts respec-
tively.
Note 2 In the case of v.h.f. and u.h.f. measurements the r.f. meter may be
replaced by a crystal rectifier and calibrated meter; for s.h.f. measurements a
bolometer may be used.
Note 3 In the case of v.h.f., u.h.f. and s.h.f. measurements, this use of an
oscilloscope may not be practical. In this case the test may be limited to a
measurement of the mean radio frequency output power as outlined in part (i)
of the procedure.

Frequency Modulation
The Post Office states that: "The carrier frequency [of an f.m. signal] must
be at least 10 kc/s within the limits of the frequency band in use and that the
maximum deviation of carrier frequency shall not exceed 2.5 kc/s. The maximum
effective modulating frequency shall be limited to 4 kc/s, and the audio frequency
input to the frequency modulator at any frequency above 4 kc/s shall not be less
than 26db below the maximum input at lower frequencies."
Although the Post Office does not state the maximum effective modulating
frequency for other types of phone operation, it is good practice to restrict the
bandwidth to 4 kc/s or less (a frequency response of 500 to 2500 c/s is generally
considered adequate for communication purposes).
Earthed or Grounded Grid Power Amplifiers
In the opinion of the RSGB Technical Committee, the power input, effec-
tively, to a grounded grid power amplifier stage should be reckoned as 10 per
cent greater than the product of the anode voltage and anode current to that
stage. One proviso is, however, that to prevent unreasonable driving power being
used the power input to the driver stage should not exceed 50 per cent of the d.c.
power input to the driven stage.
Pulse Modulation
The use of pulse modulation is permitted in the bands 2350-2400, 5700-5800
and 10,050-10,450 Mc/s, the systems specified being Pl, P2d, P2e, P3d and P3e.
These may be defined as follows:
P1 - Telegraphy without the use of a modulating audio frequency signal.
P2d-Amplitude modulation of the pulse by audio frequencies for telegraphy.
P2e-Width modulation of the pulse by audio frequencies for telegraphy.
P3d-Amplitude modulation of the pulse by audio frequencies for telephony.
P3e - Width modulation of the pulse by audio frequencies for telephony.
87
The maximum mean d.c. power input is 25 watts and 2.5 kW peak input power
at the crest of the pulse. The limit of 2.5 kW peak d.c. input implies a maximum
peak -to -mean ratio of 100 : 1, or a 1 per cent duty ratio.
The duty ratio is defined as the ratio between pulse duration and pulse repeti-
tion period. For example, if the pulse duration is t and the interval between the
beginning of one pulse and the beginning of the next is T, then tITis the duty ratio.
It is essential for a station employing pulse modulation to have a suitable
cathode-ray oscilloscope in order to set up the transmitter. To display the
envelope of the r.f. pulse, some of the r.f. output should be applied to the Y
plates of the tube, the X plates being operated from the time base which should be
locked at a sub -multiple of the repetition frequency.

Voltage Gain High High <I
Input Impedance Low Medium High
Output Impedance High Medium Low
Power Gain Medium High Low
Cut-off Frequency High Low depends on
load res.
Voltage Phase Shift (L.F.) <Zero <180° <Zero
The major differences between bipolar transistors and FET types may be
summarized as follows:
(a) Input Impedance
The input impedance of an FET is high because the input connection is into a
reverse biased junction. A bipolar transistor has a low input impedance because
the input is into a forward biased diode.
(b) Operation
The FET is a voltage operated device whereas the bipolar transistor is current
operated.
(c) Output Impedance
The FET has a high output impedance and is similar to a bipolar transistor
operating in the grounded base configuration.

HORIZON DISTANCE
Horizon distance can be calculated from the formula
S- 1.42 VH
where S= distance in miles and 1-1=-- height of the observer's eyes in feet above
sea level.
The table which follows gives the horizon distance for various heights of
aerial above sea level.

Height of Aerial Limit of Height of Aerial Limit of


Above Ground Optical Range Above Sea Level Optical Range

5 ft. 3.2 miles 1000 ft. 45-0 miles


20 ft. 6.4 miles 2000 ft. 63.5 miles
50 ft. 10.0 miles 3000 ft. 78.0 miles
100 ft. 14.2 miles 4000 ft. 90.0 miles
500 ft. 32.0 miles 5000 ft. 100.0 miles

GREAT CIRCLE CALCULATIONS


The distance between two places on the earth's surface may be calculated
provided the latitudes and longitudes of the places are known.
Let A and B be two places on the earth's surface, as shown in Fig. 71, the
angles a and f3 at A and B of the great circle passing through the two places and
the distance D between A and B along the great circle can be calculated as
follows:
let B be the place of greater latitude (nearer the pole).
LA is the latitude of A
LB is the latitude of B
LB is the longitude difference between A and B.

Then, tan
- a = cot LB sin Ian - LA)
2 2 cos i(LB + LA)
g +a-cot LD cos {LB - LA)
and tan
2 2 sin 4(LB + LA)

give the values of /3 - a and fie +a


2 2

from which /3

a
+ S- a
2
- 13

13 +a 13 - a
and - a.
2 2

In the above it is convenient to take northern latitudes as positive and southern


as negative.
If both places are in the southern hemisphere, LB - LA will be negative and it
is simpler to refer the calculation to the South pole making suitable conversion
with respect to North later if necessary.
The distance D (in degrees) along the great circle between A and B is given by:

= tan LB - LA sin 1(0 a)


D-
tan
2 2 cos 4(3 - a)
102
Then to convert the angular distance D (in degrees) to linear distance:
D in degrees x 69.057 = miles
D in degrees x 111.136 = kilometres
Note it is more convenient to use decimals for the minutes and seconds of
degrees.

DEFINITIONS OF DERIVED SI UNITS HAVING SPECIAL NAMES
Electric Capacitance
The unit of electrical capacitance called the farad is the capacitance of a
capacitor between the plates of which there appears a difference of potential of
one volt when it is charged by a quantity of electricity equal to one coulomb.
Electric Charge
The unit of electric charge called the coulomb is the quantity of electricity
transported in one second by a current of one ampere.
Electric Inductance
The unit of electric inductance called the henry is the inductance of a closed
circuit in which an electromotive force of one volt is produced when the electric
current in the circuit varies uniformly at the rate of one ampere per second.
Electric Potential
The unit of electric potential called the volt is the difference of potential between
two points of a conducting wire carrying a constant current of one ampere, when
the power dissipated between these points is equal to one watt.
Electric Resistance
The unit of electric resistance called the ohm is the resistance between two
points of a conductor when a constant difference of potential of one volt, applied
between these two points, produces in this conductor a current of one ampere, this
conductor not being the source of any electromotive force.
Energy
The unit of energy called the joule is the work done when the point of applica-
tion of a force of one newton is displaced through a distance of one metre in the
direction of the force.
Force
The unit of force called the newton is that force which, when applied to a body
having a mass of one kilogramme, gives it an acceleration of one metre per second
squared.
Frequency
The unit of frequency called the hertz is the frequency of a periodic phenomenon
of which the periodic time is one second.
Magnetic Flux
The unit of magnetic flux called the weber is the flux which, linking a circuit of
one turn produces in it an electromotive force of one volt as it is reduced to zero
at a uniform rate in one second.
Magnetic Flux Density
The unit of magnetic flux density called the tesla is the density of one weber of
magnetic flux per square metre.
Power
The unit of power called the watt is equal to one joule per second.
Temperature
The units of Kelvin and Celsius temperature interval are identical. A tempera-
ture expressed in degrees Celsius is equal to the temperature expressed in degrees
Kelvin less 27315.
110
Luminous Flux
The unit of luminous flux called the lumen is the flux emitted within unit solid
angle of one steradian by a point source having a uniform intensity of one
candela.
Illumination
The unit of illumination called the lux is an illumination of one lumen per
square metre.
