Re: Pre-amp Circuit Help

Thanks for all your help, hopefully this will clarify a few points:<p>The idea is to time the difference between a pulse being received at two different array elements by triggering a comparator on one of the initial oscillations of the signal.<p>When testing I used a pre-made preamp of 80dB (in ter...

Pre-amp Circuit Help

I am currently trying to build a 40dB pre-amp for an array of acoustic transducers receiving 0.5ms burst signals at 70KHz, and need a bit of help.<p>The complication is that it needs to be fairly small and portable, and run on a -9 to +9 volt battery supply. The current circuit of a series of 741's ...
