Deci se aduna 100 proiecte din care se fura toate ideile si apoi cel mai bun este laudat (si atit...).

 

Da, n-am ce spune, foarte interesant.

Multumim de intentie, dar cred ca i-a cam trecut vremea ...

The FDIM 2019 2N2222 POWER CHALLENGE, se pare ca au avut ce fura din proiectele de anul trecut asa ca au reiterat concursul. Si apropo, primesc si diplome pe langa felicitari.

Am gasit pagina. http://www.qrparci.org/fdim/187-buildathon-2018

Haioasa treaba.

[VAX]

N-am citit cu atentie, dar din ce am inteles, am tras concluzia ca optim ar fi un oscilator cu doua 2N2222 in contratip, pilotat cu XT. Cu radiatoare bune puse pe tranzistoare, se poate scoate 1W in RF.

[Ion_Bumbu]

Cu 2 tranzistoare de 600mA/buc la 24Vdc...1W

Domn` profesor, ma uimiti din nou!

E telegrafie, nimeni nu`si bate capul cu armonici si de mult s`au inventat clasele de functionare F.

chiar nu conteaza daca emiti armonici in tot spectrul pina la 300 Mhz???

De vazut totusi, puterea se masoara doar in 7MHz.

...clarissim, nu am citit textul integral! instanta este edificata si nu mai solicita alte probe!

Matale cat crezi ca s-ar obtine in RF cu doua tranzistoare asemanatoare cu BC107 ? Eu am sugerat varianta de oscilator in contratimp, asta era esential. Schema n-ar fi o problema. Insa trebuie rezolvata si receptia, cu cele doua tranzistoare in contratimp. Ar merge ceva cu reactie pozitiva. Am inteles eu gresit, nu trebuie si receptor ?

Unde ai vazut matale PA cu receptor?

[franzm]

Receptia cu doua tranzistoare s-a rezolvat de mult. Tot în cadrul unui concurs, unde s-a impus o limita de 100 de componente. Am pus mai demult un link. Nu-l am pe calculatorul actual.

Domnule profesor universitar, si vaca si calul au 4 picioare deci sint asemanatoare, la fel si acele 2 tipuri de tranzistori.

Aveti 2N2222 aici sa va edificati:

http://web.mit.edu/6.101/www/reference/2N2222A.pdf

La o privire superficiala cu 1W putere disipata o pereche ar debita relativ lejer 4W, proiect conventional in clasa C profund, in clasa E...mai mult

Asta ca etaj final clasa C, ca autooscilator pilotat pe Q problema ar fi nivelul pe Q.

Asta asa la prima vedere, dela un umil absolvent de Politehnica...

[Vizitator]

Din cate stiu eu, 2N2222 si 2N2219 este acelasi tranzistor la nivel de chip, difera capsula (TO18 vs. TO39).

Si intradevar, in clasa C push-pull si racit bine, poate mai mult decat 1W.

Insa aici este vorba de un concurs al vreunui club destinat sa faca valuri si sa excite "just for fun", eventual rezultand si material pentru publicat... s-a practicat asa ceva si la case mai mari (QST).
