    Building a Colpitts

    lol... Our revenue comes in from the other businesses he owns as well as a few of the patents he holds. For the obvious sensitivity issues of his projects, I'll spare throwing his name around--but rest assured, funding is not of major concern to him. I really don't mean to spark debate of any...

    Building a Colpitts

    Well, it's not discouraging at all. Quite frankly, it's a matter of getting paid or not getting paid. The boss asks for it, I try to do it--whether possible or not. Ironically, he actually owns a few books on Physics. And he understands the complications that are present when taking the...

    Building a Colpitts

    Oh, well Borders didn't have any ARRL handbooks in stock so I put one in order. I guess I'll wait for that to come in at the end of the week. VE1BLL, is that so? My understanding of all Colpitts oscillators is that a few of their components' values are frequency dependant (especially the...

    Building a Colpitts

    Thanks macgyvers. I mean, I managed to get a general schematic for the Colpitts oscillator. I was hoping I could get some detailed specs on each component without having to work out the frequency/LC equation. Looks like I may have to do it anyway. I'm off to borders to pick up an ARRL handbook...

    Building a Colpitts

    Well... this is more along the lines of WTP than it is OU. We're following the MIT model. Sorry for the confusion.

    Building a Colpitts

    My boss is a bit of an inventor/entrepreneur. He's pretty successful at what he does. Now-a-days he's leaning towards achieving efficient over unity. This oscillator is necessary for the project we're working on. Unfortunately, considering how most physicist feel about the theory of over unity...

    Building a Colpitts

    Hey guys, when it comes to EE I am the epitome of a novice. In fact, I picked myself up a experiment lab from Radioshack the other day to learn some basics. Unfortunately the superiors at work need me to develop a colpitts oscillator that oscillates at 13.46MHz. I was wondering if anyone had any...
