The picture here is a block diagram, which is very useful in looking at the overall structure of a good receiver design.Įach section of the blocks are explained in detail.
#SIMPLE VLF RECEIVER CIRCUIT HOW TO#
To construe how to go about building a receiver we must first get the basics down. A small antenna produces very little signal current for reception, however, a high gain, high impedance amplifier can make up for the difference.
#SIMPLE VLF RECEIVER CIRCUIT FULL#
A resonant, full wavelength antenna is much longer than 60 feet. The reason for this comes from the ratio of actual antenna length to the resonant frequency wavelength.Ī typical vertical antenna for VLF reception is usually less then 60 feet long some are even less then 10 feet. E-Field receivers must use a very high input impedance to detect signals. Electromagnetic relates to the magnetic influence of a signal. Electrostatic pertains to the charge voltage or current wave of the signal. The first step in building a receiver is to consider these questions. These circuit examples are optimized to design a receiver specifically for Natural Radio recording and listening. Some of the more advanced VLF receivers do use frequency conversion and digital tuning as well, we are just going to keep it simple here for now. The best feature of a VLF receiver is that it is already tuned for audio frequencies. Most radio receivers require complex frequency conversion to change and then demodulate the radio signal into an audio signal which is passed on to the amplifier stage to drive the speaker or headphones. The information here is most helpful to a person with a knowledge of electronic circuitry and fundamentals.
