Hi Ian. That is "balanced to unbalanced", in RF terms, would be a balun transformer. In audio stereo terms, it is still two -audio- transformers with one lead of each secondary tied together as common for the headphones. I do not know which IC you have in mind, but the data sheet should te...

Re: cell phone antenna light thingies
Hi Dacflyer.<p>I will try to guess this one... As they are LED's, I suppose their leads are cut precisely at ¼ wavelenght and function as a dipole antenna. The high efficiency in new led's helps too. Try the highest efficiency LED you can find, the one you make light with the least current, and clip...

Re: inverter rfi problems
Hello.<p>The interfering noise can reach your amateur radio equipment via the house power lines or via antenna; or both. You must find first the offending path to tackle the problem. Try operating the HF radio with an automobile battery with no connections at all to mains. If you still get the noise...

Hello.<p>As expressed above, some extra information could help. If the location of a person in a building is reduced to which room instead of what part of a room (resolution) there is a way that comes to mind, BUT, every person must wear some sort of identification to discern who and where. That cou...

Re: 5V to 3.3V
Hi Matthew.<p>Almost any defunct computer motherboard will be a glad donor for such low dropout voltage regulator. They are usually TO-220 with a small heatsink, and can supply up to 3 Amperes.<p>Computer power supplies yield 5V, but many chips on the mainboards run on 3.3V.<p>Miguel
