Thanks, Bruce, for the circuit. I don't recognize the transformer numbers in your schematic. Can you tell us more about the nature of the transformers you have specified? Bruce Griffiths wrote: George The circuit schematic for a BJT version of the JFET frequency is attached. The biasing is

Thanks. Great! Commonly available part.. I agree one part for both is good. Bruce Griffiths wrote: Rex wrote: Thanks, Bruce, for the circuit. I don't recognize the transformer numbers in your schematic. Can you tell us more about the nature of the transformers you have specified?

George The circuit schematic for a BJT version of the JFET frequency is attached. The biasing is a little more complex as it is necessary set each frequency doubler BJT collector current at about 1mA or so to maximise conversion gain. The input impedance is also around 50 ohms. Have also

George The schematic for a more versatile EFC translator circuit is attached. Any EFC range in the -10V to +10V range can be accomodated. Even greater EFC ranges are possible by using a suitable opamp for U103 with appropriate power supplies. The messy details of power supply bypassing etc are
