Newbie question, Frequency
sonic blast
HI!
What I want to do is take a signal from like a tape recorder or something like that and amplify it to a frequency above the range of human hearing. I know it won't be audible, (I don't WANT it to ba audible :-) but I want it to be THERE. I don't care if rats can hear it LOL. I don't have a lot of recources, so I need to find an alternative that doesn't rely upon a recording studio. I don't have access to one. I need to be able to achieve that effect easier and more affordably. It's for a paper for a class. Thanks a lot! Sonci __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

sonic,
What I want to do is take a signal from like a tapeSo what you want is not amplification but conversion. The signal will probably already have enough signal level. What will you do with the converted signal, That's what we are trying to get you to say. Will it be connected to a supersonic transducer? If this is ordinary audio it could be converted but it would be a somewhat complex process. Fixed frequencies are easily converted in radio to new higher frequencies. But complex audio is not so easy to convert that way. Jim |
We call it ultrasonic here. Supersonic is used to describe speed.

:) What about this: Use the same modulation technique as stereo FM radio. As I understand it, FM stereo is achieved using SSB modulation at audio frequencies. The carrier or as it is refered to in FM stereo the pilot signal is 19KHz. I think the L-R is shifted up above 19KHz and the L+R is below 19KHz. That way a mono receiver is simpler since all it has to do is low pass the signal to get L+R. All you want is the signal above 19KHz or whatever carrier you choose. You have a different application so you don't require L and R separation. The low frequencies and the carrier can be low pass filtered and removed. I think I have schematics for just such a thing but it is not a beginners project. You will need very good understanding of analog electronics and good construction skills. What other kinds of projects have you built? --- In Electronics_101@y..., Jim Purcell <jpurcell@w...> wrote:

HI!
If you could email the schematics, that would be great! Thanks a ton! --- manifold <manifold_1@...> wrote: We call it ultrasonic here. Supersonic is used to __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find a job, post your resume. |
Here are the links but after thinking about it more, this will not

work either. All this does is produce a signal that get fed to the VCO. Therefor there is no frequency shift of the orginal signal there is just AM modulation of the 19KHz signal. Maybe this will work and I am missing something. o Is one of the results of mixing the two signals a frequency shifted verstion of the audio signal? Maybe someone who knows more about SSB transmission can help. My brain is tired today and I can't remember very much. Check out thes links anyway. The circuit looks good and the designer has done a good job with available parts. If you can't read the postscript files, get ghost script or if anyone is interested I think I converted the postscript files to pdf and may still have them somewhere.

HI!Not exactly an easy task. As suggested in some other posts you would need a suppressed-carrier balanced modulator to produce 2 ultrasonic sidebands having the same spectral relationships as the original audio, and then a filter with one side very steep to reject the unwanted sideband and any residual 'carrier' frequency. It is possible to construct such a circuit, but a bit tricky to adjust it without the right test equipment. What is the desired result or effect you're after? Or, what is the objective of the paper you're writing? Steve H. |
hi sonci,
i feel u can generate any frequency by using a small code just type main() { sound(freq);// fil the value what u need to generate. } note: in Turbo c help if u find the chicken died bcoz of 10 HZ generated by the industry in australia. so u can have a try in genrating without any hardware.
