• SA612A: Mixer and Oscillator - Lab 1
• A mixer, or multiplier circuit, generates an AM signal by multiplying the signal to transmit, cos(ω_m), with a carrier sinusoid, cos(ω_c), resulting in cos(ω_c-ω_m)+cos(ω_c +ω_m). This circuit also features an "extra" transistor that can be used as a Colpitts oscillator.


• MC14046BCL: Phase-Locked Loop - Lab 2, 5
• A PLL locks onto an incoming signal's frequency by maintaining a constant phase difference between a given input and its own voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) output with a negative feedback loop, producing a voltage output proportional to how much the PLL's own oscillator had to shift its frequency. This particular PLL chip contains two phase comparators, one VCO, one buffer, and one Zener diode.


• LT1677: Low-Noise Rail-to-Rail Precision Op-Amp - Lab 3, 4
• This is the basis of the active Audio Filter and also the optional Automatic Gain Control (AGC) on the receiver's IF stage. This is also used as a buffer for the RX PLL output, a modulation driver/buffer for the audio filter stages.


• LT1363: 70 MHz GBW, 1000V/μs Op-amp - Lab 3
• This op-amp is the building block of the three-stage IF amplifier/ active filter, which sets the bandwidth for transmission on the transmitter, and whose job on the receiver is to increase the strength of the received signal substantially.


• 2N2222: NPN Bipolar Junction Transistor - Lab 4
• This transistor is the active component of both the 450 kHz and 24.5 MHz Colpitts oscillators. It keeps the passive L, R, C components resonating at the center frequency by providing a proportionate "squirt" of current to maintain the oscillation.


• LT1632: 45MHz, 45V/μs, Dual Precision Op-Amps - Lab 5
• This is a dual package, meaning two op-amps in one standard 8-pin package, used in the low-pass active filter in the PLL's feedback loop.


• 2N3904: NPN Bipolar Junction Transistor - Lab 6
• This transistor, connected in a shunt-shunt feedback circuit, provides the gain for the LNA and allows for impedance matching through negative feedback.


• GALI-5: Power Amplifier - Lab 7
• This power amplifier provides a hefty boost in power so that the modulated output signal's strength is increased by several dB, strong enough to be received over long distances.

• T1-6T: RF Transformer - Lab 1
  • This RF transformer acts as a DC block to prevent damage to the SA612's inputs and also allows matching with inductors in parallel (which would otherwise short to ground).
  
  
• CSBLA455KEC8-B0: 455 kHz Reference Oscillator - Lab 4
  • This 455 kHz ceramic resonator provides a reference frequency for the Colpitts oscillator.
  
  
• MMBV105GLT1-D: Silicon Tuning Diode - Lab 4
  • This tuning diode, or varactor, acts as a voltage-variable capacitor to directly modulate the 24.5 MHz Colpitts' output frequency.
  
  
• MC78T05: 3-A Voltage Regulator - Complementary Circuits
  • Convert a 9 V battery's output to a steady 5-V power rail with this chip.
  
  
• LTC1044: Switched-Cap Voltage Converter - Complementary Circuits
  • We're using the voltage inversion function of this very multi-talented chip to convert +9 V from a battery to -9 V.
  
  
• MC79L05: 100 mA Negative Voltage Regulator (obsoleted) - Complementary Circuits
  • The MC78T05's negative cousin, this converts -9 V to a steady -5 V rail.
  
  
• NANCOSMDC150F: Surface-Mount Resettable Fuse - Complementary Circuits
  • Protects against accidental shorts. Because a great circuit is a terrible thing to waste.
