This is a simple signal injector that can fit inside a mini basketball pump it requires:

  • 1x dc blocking capacitor(10nF to 10uF) C3(2.2uF Axiel Film Capacitor)
  • 2x 100nF Capacitors C1 and C2
  • 2x 1k ohm resistors R1 and R2
  • 2x 4.7k ohm resistors R3 and R4
  • 2x General Purpose NPN low power transistors Q1 and Q2(I used PN2222A)
  • A 1.2 to 14v dc power source
  • A alligator ground clip

This signal injector can come in handy for repairing radios, amplifers and old TVs and also square wave generator in a probe. Later on I will make a version that uses C1 and C2 as 470nF and R3 and R4 as 1 Megaohm and C3 as 47uF(Since the frequency is ultralow).

The specs

Where R=R2 or R3, C=C1 or C2 and \(C_{3}\)=C3

Frequency: \(f=\frac{1}{1.38RC}=1.5kHz\)

Output AC Resistance: \(X_{C3}=\frac{1}{2\pi*fC_{3}}\)

I had a 6vdc power supply laying around and John Zogg(my friend) wanted to power his scanner from both batteries and power supply. The power supply didn’t have the correct connector. So what could I possibly do to safely run it off of the batteries and power supply at the same time? So I got some rectifier diodes and used one for the batteries and one for the power supply. The rectifier diode will prevent the voltages from going back into the battery or the power supply. The diode I chose was an EGP50G which was a fast recovery diode a 400V and 5 Amps. It doesn’t need to be a fast recovery or 400v or 5 amps. In fact, you could use a 1N4001 diode and it would work the same.

Schematic
Circuit

That circuit above makes it act like an Uninterruptable Power Supply(UPS). I drilled four holes into th battery cover so I could use the cover as a Circuit board for the diodes.

Diodes mounted on the battery cover
Wires soldered to the terminals
