Regenerative Short Wave Radio - If you happen to have a ferrite bar antenna for short wave reception, try to build a regenerative short wave radio like one shown above. Separated function for regeneration and detection enables this circuit to be fairly sensitive to weak signals without any external antenna. __ Designed by MINOWA, Makoto 7N3WVM
Remote Control Volume - 17-Aug-11 -Design News: Andrew Morris decided the usual wireless volume controls don’t offer enough functionality, so he created the ultimate volume control that connects between a computer or MP3 player and an amplified speaker system __ Designed by Andrew R. Morris, Gadget Freak-Case #192
Remote RF Xmiter - This device was built into a small (1 1/4 by 2 inch) Radio Shack project box. It features four push buttons which can produce 2 codes each. (Pushing a button for less than one second sends the first code, holding it for over one second sends the second code.) __ Designed by Luhan Monat Mesa Arizona

Retuning a Stationmaster type antenna - It is not hard to tune a Stationmaster down in freq. Take a number of strips of aluminum foil, starting about 2" wide and tapering down to about 1 to 1-1/2" and long enough to wrap around the antenna mast. Secure the antenna as far as possible from other objects, at least 4-6 feet. I have heard of people have success with two tall sawhorses or better yet tall step ladders to get it high enough off the ground. __ Designed by Jim Barbour WD8CHL

RF & Microwave structure Design & simulation - The Sonnet field solver software is used in a couple of cases. While it easier and quicker to design and optimize Microstrip or Stripline structures with a program such as Agilent ADS, I always put the resulting design into a field solver just as a "second opinion" check to make sure that all is OK. In some cases: such as the design of a coaxial to Microstrip transition, the only way to get a design going is to use a field solver __ Designed by Steve Hageman
RF & Waveform Generator - Generates RF-Frequencys 0.8-2.5 GHz (resolution 100Hz) , 22MHz-512MHz (resolution 125kHz-1MHz depending on frequency) and Waveforms 0-100kHz (resolution 1Hz). Waveforms are Sine, Square, Triangle, Pulse, Sawtooth (positive and negative). All modes work independently and can be used at the same time. Very convenient user interface with LCD Display and up/down/cursor functionality. But please don't expect an easy to copy, 10 Minute instant design. The waveform part is a nice project for everyone, but the RF part is only for very experience hobbyists. __ Designed by Herbert Dingfelder
RF 2.45Ghz Signal Detector - This passive RF indicator is made from a few simple parts. A 100uA moving coil meter is used to display the relative intensity of the RF signal. This circuit can be used with some cell phones and many cordless telephones . . . Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P.E.-July, 2006
RF Actuated Keying Monitor - Sending Morse on a rig without a sidetone is not impossible, but is not particularly pleasant either. This battery-powered monitor has been designed to provide an audible indication of keying for those whose rigs lack a CW sidetone. Its sensor wire is wrapped around the transceiver's coax – no direct connection is required. Of course Morse isn't the only use for this nifty circuit – it should also be useful any time you need a simple alarm that detects the presence of RF. __ Designed by Peter Parker VK3YE

RF front-end for triple conversion GPS receiver - A low-power, 1.57-GHz RF front-end for a global positioning system (GPS) receiver has been designed in a 1.0- m BiCMOS
technology. It consists of a low noise amplifier with 15 dB of gain, a single balanced mixer with 6.3 mS of conversion gm, a Colpitts LC local oscillator, and an emitter coupled logic (ECL) divide-by-eight prescaler. This front-end has a singal sideband (SSB) noise figure of 8.1 dB and is part of a triple conversion superheterodyne receiver whose IF frequencies are 179, 4.7, and 1.05 MHz. Low power consumption has been achieved, with 10.5 mA at 3-V supply voltage for the front-end, while the complete receiver is expected to draw about 12 mA __ Designed by Francesco Piazza & Qiuting Huang
RF Isolator Uses Differential Amplifiers - An RF isolator is a seemingly magic device that allows signals to pass in only one direction. Signals applied to the input port are sent to the test port and signals coming into the test port can only go to the output port. This one-way property is usually accomplished with special non-linear ferrite/magnet structures operating at very high frequencies. Fig.1 shows an active RF isolator __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.
RF Microwave Plasma Generator - This page details how a RF plasma source of approximately 1 kW can be constructed from house-hold materials. Possible uses include plasma cleaner, plasma etch, remote activation species generation and no use at all (my personal favorite). __ Designed by Greg Miller
RF Module Design & integration - In many cases it's just hard to beat the pricing on many of the pre-built 300 MHz RF modules (as pictured above). These modules are useful in OOK (On Off Keying) applications and data rates to 2400 baud. Specialized coding with checksums, forward error correction, remote control codes or Manchester coding is available for applications that need it. When it comes __ Designed by Steve Hageman
RF noise bridge for HF - This rf noise bridge will provide about 40dB of noise over the 160m to 6m amateur bands. The unit uses 3 x BC547 transistors for amplification of noise produced by a 6.8 volt zener diode. Drawing a current of around 17mA, makes the unit suitable for portable battery operation.
RF Power meter / dummy loA - D - A 50 Ohm dummy load is an essential part for any radio amateur as is a power meter. The prices of such relative simple equipment is expensive, but not for us handy Hams HI. All you need is a metal box (or plastic box painted inside with graphite or other conducting/RF-shielding capable material), a few resistors and basic components (which can be salvaged from old radio's, switching power supplies etc. .) and a analog meter. I used a Radio-shack meter, but any (sensitive) meter can be used. It's all a matter of calibrating your meter correctly, which is easy if you can lend a good commercial RF power meter. __ Designed by Guy Roels ON6MU
RF Power Meter 10MHz-3.5GHz - (Available now for rebuilding. Due to the many requests I received, I have developed a second, larger design that is easier to rebuild. There is a lot of theoretical and background information on the different sensor as well.) __ Designed by Herbert Dingfelder
RF Power Meter for QRPers - Here is a simple set up which will enable them to measure the out put power of their transmitter. All that they require is a good multimeter which has a sensitivity of 20k ohms/4 Watts which is adequate for low power transmitters.

The circuit can be used as field strength analyser or RF Wattmeter when a 50 ohms resistor is connected between ground and HF (J1). Calibration required. Of course you can add extra LED stages in case you want to extend the range.
