To have approximately half the supply voltage at its drain. Note: The lower FET's source resistor should be tweaked

Site, an active antenna like the one shown below may also work for VLF narrowīand reception (even though it was designed as a broadband antenna see If there are no strong LF-, MF-, and HF-transmitters close to the receiver's In my own tests I have found that the system is very sensitiveĮven with only passive components (including 2 protection diodes on a 200 This will also protect your soundcard if you connect a longer If you can get the system (describedīelow) to work, add a simple LC network parallel to the input as VLF Of the soundcard and try to listen to a local signal source (like a Soudblaster 16 has been tested, others work too, but some soundcards don't.)įor a start, just connect some meters of wire as an antenna to the MIC input
