The B602 transformer ratio arm bridge
measures impedance in all four
quadrants of the complex plane over the
frequency range 1 00kHz to 10MHz.

This bridge has established a standard of
performance and flexibility which is
unobtainable from any other radio

Wireless World Dolby noise reducer

1 -An introduction to the Dolby noise reduction system
by Geoffrey Shorter
This noise- reducer design is intended mainly for hiss reduction in magnetic -tape recording
machines. The unit can be switched to decode commercially available Dolby B- encoded cassette
tapes, Dolby B- encoded f.m. radio transmissions (as in the USA), or to encode blank tapes from
any source. As an alternative, it can be used in trading some of the noise improvement for reduced
distortion at peak recorded levels. The Wire less World processor can be aligned without any
additional test instruments, the circuit board being arranged to provide the necessary alignment
and calibration tones. This article gives background to the B system and to the functioning of the
noise reducer and subsequent articles describe construction, alignment and calibration of the unit.
A complete kit is available only through Wireless World (see panel on page 205)

than five of the X amplifier.
The oscilloscope offers all the usual
facilities to be found in high quality
commercial instruments, such as directly -
coupled amplifiers, stabilized e.h.t., cali-
brated triggered timebase, and wide
bandwidth. It lacks dual -trace operation,
Y signal delay, and delayed timebase. The
performance can be judged from the
specification and some waveform photo-
graphs which will show the limits of the
performance in some respect or other.
Although I cannot guarantee these per-
formance figures for all examples built,
I am confident that the circuits are
repeatable and will work well without
further development.
I should point out that this design
is complicated and that its construction
should only be attempted by those
readers with considerable practical exper-
ience. It is also expensive, costing at
least £80, which is probably sufficient
deterrent to those who are not wholly
confident of their ability. However, the
finished result is as useful and as easy
to use as commercial instruments costing
much more. It also seems to be reliable,

Oace, work commenced in 1944. RRG was made with d.c. bias but con- from which the tape feeds directly to the
take-up spool.
The transport arrangements also in-
cluded a lifting device which allowed the
tape to be moved away from the heads
during fast rewind. Three, or in some cases
four, motors were used to transport the tape,
two being used as reel motors. These
motors had an inverse torque versus speed
characteristic and were originally commu-
tator -type, series wound. Later versions
used a.c. motors without commutators.
Constant -speed tape drive was achieved
with a two -phase capacitor-type of
synchronous motor. Solenoid- operated
brakes were fitted to each reel motor and an
interlock was provided on the record and
play button, reducing the chance of
accidental erasure of the tape. The K4
mechanism and subsequent machines to the
end of World War II, all followed this
arrangement but differed iri detail from
model to model.
After the general adoption of the K4
by the Reichs Rundfunk -Gesellschaft
(RRG) in 1939, there was considerable co-
operation between them and AEG in the
development of further models. In fact in
late 1939, Dr Hans Joachim Braummühl
and Dr Walter Weber of the Research
Department of RRG developed the a.c.
bias system for use in the K4 types in
broadcast service2'. The broadcast version
of the K4 was designated R22 or R22a
and the subsequent modified versions with
a.c. bias were redesignated R122 or
R 122a.
One of the novel features of all of the
Magnetophone models was the use of ring -
core heads and longitudinal recording
instead of the previous arrangements used
on steel-tape machines. A parallel develop-
ment seems to have been made by British
Thompson -Houston in December, 1933,
since they made an application for a
patent42, granted in 1935, which describes
various configurations of ring -core heads,
including the notion of cross -field biasing*
and the use of compressed iron powder
cores for erase heads.t
Several non -broadcast tape recorders
were also produced by AEG during the
war years, one of the most remarkable
being the version known as the Ton -

Noise confusion in more ways

3- Microwave noise generators and aerial temperature
by K. L. Smith
University of Kent at Canterbury
Techniques for measuring noise temperature in the microwave region are discussed in this article,
together with interesting and in some ways unexpected effects on the performance when attenua-
tion is present at the front end of receivers. Noise from external and sometimes distant sources is
considered and its effect on the idea of aerial temperature.

kTa B

k(Ta+TeL)B One of the first questions you might ask

is where does the noise external to the
I L
r--- receiving equipment originate? We already
have partial answers. The sun radiates at
noise equivalent temperatures of about
6000K near the infra -red end of the
Te L Te R spectrum, up to hundreds of thousands of
J degrees at longer wavelengths. Occasionally
the sun produces bursts of noise which are
t t orders of magnitude greater than the "quiet"
original source source temperature
temperature Ta seen by the receiver sun value. The earth radiates at about 300K
Ta o+ T. over much of its surface away from the
poles. The moon and planets radiate at
their characteristic temperatures and there
is a general background hubbub (especially

at long wavelengths) from the galaxy. At
millimetre wavelengths the atmosphere
radiates and absorbs, together with acute
and rapidly changing effects by rain and
clouds-all very much under scrutiny by
many observers.
A summary of these effects is illustrated
in Fig. 13, where the main curve shows the
variation of aerial temperature over the
radio spectrum. It is not surprising that S
band (10cm wavelength) and X band
(3cm) figure prominently in space mission
communications and radar, because the
value of Ta in this region is very low, around
10K. The rise to millions of degrees at long
and medium waves is clearly seen. Time
spent on careful low noise design of com-
munications receivers at this end of the
spectrum would be time wasted. Other con-
siderations, such as good cross modulation
and low spurious response performance,
become prominent.
From the beginning of the v.h.f. region
upwards in frequency, low-noise design for
minimum Te becomes important as can be
inferred from the parts of Fig. 13 where
aerial temperatures lower than room tem-
perature occur. Moving to higher fre- Fig. 10. Typical waveguide gas tube noise Fig. 13. Atmosphere does not transmit

BAILEY /BURROWS /OUILTER PRE AMP This is the tone control section of the best
pre -amp kit currently available. Consider the advantages: -*First quality fibreglass
printed circuits with roller tinned finish and all component locations printed on reverse.
*Low noise carbon film and metal film resistors throughout. *Finest quality low -noise
ganged controls with matched tracks and shafts cut to length. *Well engineered layout for
total stability. *Special decoupling and earthing arrangements to eliminate hum loops.
*Controls, switches and input sockets mount directly on the boards to TOTALLY
ELIMINATE wiring to these components. We know of one pre -amp kit which claims its
controls mount directly on the board-and so they do. by their shaft bushes) You still have
to wire them spill
SELF -CUE BROADCAST We incorporate the Quilter modification which is most important as it reduces distortion
and increases the bass and treble control range.

CARTRIDGE MACHINE As can be seen from the photograph the tone control unit is very slim (only
front to back) and may therefore be used in many other applications than our Bailey

METALWORK AND WOODEN CASES These have been under review for some time:
please send for latest information.
F.M. TUNER This latest addition to our range is designed to offer the best possible
ACCEPTS CARTRIDGE performance allied to the ease of operation given by push button varicap tuning. We
have taken great care to look after the constructors point of view and there are no
coils to wind. no RF circuits to wire and no alignment is required. in fact the whole unit
SIZE A, B, C can be easily completed and working in an evening as there are only 3 transistors. one IC
and two ready built and aligned modules comprising the active components. We have
abandoned the concept of having a tuner as large as the amplifier and this new unit has a
frontal size of only 1 in. X 4 in. It can be mounted on the side of our Bailey amplifier
metalwork thus taming tt into a tuner /amplifier whilst only increasing its width by 1 in.
30Hz-16KHz + 1dB Cost of tuner chassis (no case) is £22 for mono. £25.45 for stereo. Metal case £3.55.
S 70d B /N- An extended wooden case to fit tuner and amplifier will be offered shortly.
STUART TAPE CIRCUITS Our printed circuits a5d components offer the easy way to
convert any suitable quality deck into a very high quality Stereo Tape unit. Input and
output levels suit Bailey pre amp. Total cost varies but around £35 is all you need. We can
offer tape heads as well if you want new ones.
All above kits have fibreglass PCB's. Prices exclude VAT but PEP is included.

********************************* Hi -Fi News Linsley -Hood 75W/Channel Amplifier

DESIGNER APPROVED KIT
In Hi -Fi News there was published by Mr Linsley -Hood a
Mk III Version (modifications as per Hi -Fi News April 1974)
series of four articles (November 1972- February 1 973)
and a subsequent follow -up article (April 1 974) on a
design for an amplifier of exceptional performance which
has as its principal feature an ability to supply from a
direct coupled fully protected output stage, power in
excess of 75 watts whilst maintaining distortion at less
than 0.01 % even at very low power levels. The power
amplifier is complemented by a pre -amplifier based on a
discrete component operational amplifier referred to as the
Liniac which is employed in the two most critical points
of the system, namely the equalization stage and tone
control stage, positions where most conventional designs
run out of gain at the extremes of the frequency spectrum.
Unusual features of the design are the variable transition
frequencies of the tone controls and the variable slope
of the scratch filter. There is a choice of four inputs, two
equalized and two linear. each having independently
adjustable signal level. The attractive slimline unit pictured
has been made practical by highly compact PCBs and a

solution to this problem, described by D. C. Read in Wireless World, involves the use of a series Single 35p 25p
of active filters splitting the output of the pre -amplifier into three channels, of closely defined band- Dual 55p 35p

suitable 20-watt amplifier, based on a proven Texas circuit, was also described by Mr Read. The
printed-circuit board for this has been designed such that three amplifiers may be stacked and
mounted together on a common heat sink to achieve a conveniently compact module. V.A.T. Please add 8%*

Time and again we are asked for reprints
of Wireless World constructional
projects: tape, disc, radio, amplifiers,
speakers, headphones. Demand
continues long after copies are out of
print. To meet the situation we have
collected fifteen of the most sought after
designs and put them in one inexpensive
book. And we've updated specifications
where necessary to include new
components which have become
available. A complete range of
instruments is presented, from the
Stuart tape recorder and Nelson -Jones
f.m. tuner, through the Bailey, Blomley
and Linsley Hood amplifiers, to the
Bailey and Baxandall loudspeakers
- some of which have been accepted as
standard in the industry.

making news -three
important new
chemicals for electronics
manufacturers.
MULTICORE PC 26
ROSIN FOAM FLUX
A completely new general purpose liquid
soldering flux particularly suitable for the
automated soldering of all types of printed
circuits. PC 26 provides a unique combination
of desirable properties.
Complies with U.K. Ministry Flux Speci-

better soldering than non- approved fluxes
with high halide contents.
Leaves negligible flux residues so p.c.
boards are dry after soldering, can be
handled and inspected easily and have
better sales appeal.

SOLVENT CLEANER &
FLUX REMOVER
A unique blend of polar and non-polar solvents
formulated for degreasing electronic hardware
prior to soldering as well as for removing rosin
flux residues including ionizable activators
after soldering. Its intermediate boiling rangeof
71 to 80 "C and selective solvency make it ideal
for vapour degreasing. Other Multicore Soldering Chemicals
