    crude google translation Melbeta... i see the article in text form so its easely to get.

    UNIVERSAL LC GENERATOR

    Radio, 1979, No. 5

    The generator, the circuit of which is shown in the figure, is intended for measuring equipment. An important advantage of this generator is the ability to use resonant circuits with virtually any L / C ratio. So, it works equally steadily if the inductance of coil L1 varies from 50 μH to 100 mH, and the capacitance of C1 is from 50 pF to 5 μF. For example, with an inductance of L1 = 50 μG and capacitance C1 = 5 μF, the generated frequency will be about 10 kHz, and with the same inductance and C1 = 50 pF - 3.2 MHz. In addition, to the number of advantages of this generator should be attributed a small voltage on the LC-circuit - about 100 mV. In some cases this is important, for example, when measuring varicap parameters.

    The generator is made on transistors V1 and V2. The cascade on the transistor V3 is a preliminary amplifier, the signal from which is fed to the output amplifier (transistor V8 ) and to the automatic level control unit of the output signal of the generator. Since the preamplifier comes directly from the generator oscillator circuit, the AGC unit maintains a constant voltage and on this circuit. The automatic level control unit consists of a rectifier on the diodes V4 and V5, made by the doubling circuit, the direct current amplifier on the transistor V7 and the regulating transistor V6.

    As soon as for some reason the voltage at the output of the generator changes, for example, it will increase, then a mixture on the basis of the transistor V7 will increase. This, in turn, will lead to a decrease in current through the transistor V6 (and hence through the transistors of the generator V1, V2), and the voltage at the generator output will decrease to the original value.

    The output voltage remains practically constant when the supply voltage varies from 3.5 to 15 V. It is convenient to choose it equal to 5 V. In this case, the signal level at the output of the generator will be compatible with the devices of transistor-transistor logic.

    In the generator, you can use any silicon high-frequency transistors, and transistors V1-V3 must have a sufficiently large current transfer ratio (not less than 150). In the event that parasitic high-frequency oscillations occur, the resistance of the resistor R2 should be slightly increased.

    "Funkshau" (FRG), 1978, No. 18

    The transistors KT361B, G (V1, V2, V3) and KT315B, G [V6, V7, V8 ] can be used in the generator, the diodes (V4, V5) can be of the KD503A type.

      may be anybody from Germany will also give the text in german because a primary source was in german magazine.

        the blue lines were still not traced lines.

          KT, thanks for the translation. I think I will be able to make my own little layout single layer. Thanks again for giving circuit. I want to make coil for my home made 1210x, but dont have enough wire for two 9.5mH coils. Now I know what to do, I think.

            thanks to google.

            i will do single layer. you can make a box with the board, preamp and diggest of different sockets under different detectors. you get a device for testing
            of any coil, as self made as manufactured.

              That is good idea, different sockets to plug in different coils, very good. But there is one caveat, and that is what if coil has internal capacitor?

                That is why C1 of 50pF is ideal. I think. This will still allow device to oscillate even with a cap in coil housing. I am not sure.

                  Maybe an option for a capacitor in series.

                    then do not connect outer capacitor.

                      Yes, of course.

                        There seems to be a fault in the drawing in post #13,,,,one terminal of the 1n4148 (VD2) isn't connected to anything and on the schematic it goes to the 220nf (C3),,,,just wondered if anyone noticed this. Thanks, Marty

                          If you look closely you will see that it is connected to vd1 and to c4. The green trace is obscured by the component. look at post #18, click on jpeg image.

                            @dbanner,,,thanks for the clarification,,,I didn't notice there was another drawing posted that was different. Does the 'Output' connect to the oscilloscope?, thanks. Marty

                              Either oscilloscope or frequency counter meter. Measure freq. Then calculate inductances of coil being measured using formula or resonance calculator app. Then you can tune coil for any detector by choosing correct value for capacitor.
                              Read the translated text for better explanation of how circuit works.

                                absolutely right DB. by chinese transistor tester http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showt...2-Chinese-toys
                                possibly to measure L C and F - connected to the generator the resonance.
