Superregenerativ modtager

Eksempel på Superregenerativ modtager-diagram, som også fungerer med refleksmodtagervirkning. Trimmekondensatoren på 30pF forårsager at trinet fungerer som en superregenerativ modtager.

Den superregenerative modtager var især populær i radiofoniens barndom (1920'erne-1950'erne). Den har forbavsende god selektivitet og forstærkning.

Den kan være svær at benytte, da den let går i selvsving (den "hyler"). Selvsving undgås ved benytte quenching. Kun én transistor/elektronrør anvendes normalt i radioforsatsen og den har lavt strømforbrug.

Crystodyne oscillatorkredsløb opfundet af Oleg Losev i 1923 og offentliggjort i 1924 i Radio News magazine. Crystodyne oscillatorkredsløbet kan fungere som en kortbølgeradiosender ved tilkobling af en radioantenne. De krydsede spoler er symbol for datidens variable spoler. D er en zinkoxid-punktkontaktdiode med negativ differentiel modstand - ved den rette strøm og spænding (justeret med R). B er et batteri.

Eksperimenter med krystaldetektorer og en strømkilde er formentlig årsagen til, at dioder med negativ differentiel modstand blev opdaget bl.a. 190x, 1908, 1910 - og bredt offentliggjort omkring 1924 af flere. Apparatet eller modtagerprincippet blev kaldt Crystdyne, Cristadyne eller Crystodyne. Disse "sære" dioder, kan med den rette justering og kredsløb, få et krystalapparat til at fungere som en superregenerativ modtager, radiosender - eller blot et standard krystalapparat.

Published In Electronics World: April 2002 Citat: "...Super-Regenerative radio designs have been around for well over 60 years, and hundreds of circuits have been published, usually with little or no description on how they work. Eddy Insam dispels the magic and explains the details...This is the traditional name given to the process of stopping and restarting the detector after each sample. It comes from the fact that the LC tank needs to be “quenched” or stopped of oscillations after it has reached full swing..."

The last word on crystal detectors and their uses has yet to be written. For example, it may be of interest to know that they can be made to OSCILLATE, under proper circuit conditions, and I have found it possible to receive intelligible signals from UNDAMPED wave stations across the Atlantic, on a simple contact between a fragment of galena and a fine wire..."

V. Lossev, Lossew] (1903-1942) ( See link below ) managed to make a high frequency generator using such a detector. But it was polarized. This indicates that this diode had a characteristic curve in which a negative slope was present. And this makes one think of the tunnel effect diode invented a half a century later...These layouts where part of what one called CRYSTADYNE [eller Cristadyne, Crystodyne ] systems. But in those days, the technical performance and industrial ease of the new increasing valve technology made these layouts to be ignored, and then forgotten..."

The same contact may also be utilized as an amplifier. Oscillating crystals are not new since they were investigated as far back as 1906 by well known engineers, but it was not until lately that a Russian engineer, Mr. O. V. Lossev, succeeded in finding some interesting uses for oscillating crystals..."
