Landing Radio Altimeter – The Essential Tool for Small Aircraft

For most of the small aircraft aviator, they might have the difficulty in the landing radio altimeter (the standard 4.3 GHz radio-altimeter). Therefore, the new design will improve the recently accuracy and altitude coordination.

As we know, most of the current made radio-altimeter only limited to a few feet, and this will increase the frequency of [...]

Solid state oscilloscope

This circuit was a winner in Electronics Today International in 1987. Solid state oscilloscope is really simple and small size. Even it can be powered from tested circuit. Actually it has low frequency range (up to 500Hz) and low resolution (100LED matrix display).

Despite its poor parameters, circuit can be fun to experiment with cheap [...]
