                            (In regard to this sidebar, see the new program Padcap in the design programs.  17April9)
       
p4.4, middle col, four lines up from bottom:  The proper spelling here is squegging rather than squeeging. (24Feb03)  

p4.4, right col, 2 inches down from text top:  make it read "for overall efficiency." (24Feb03)  

p4.6, left col, 2nd line down from top:  That should be NP0 rather than NPO (NP Zero rather than NP Oh.) (24Feb03)               

p4.6, left col, 4.5 inches down from text top:  replace know with known. (24Feb03)

p4.7, middle col, 0.3 inches down from text top:   replace "it's own" with "its own."   (31 July 09)   

p4.8, right col, 0.7 inch up from bottom.  Replace sentence "Output can be obtained from the cap between Colpitts capacitors." with "Output can be obtained from the junction of the Colpitts capacitors."  (22June03)

p4.9. Fig 4.13.   Add (B) to upper right circuit.(22June03)

 

p4.9, Fig. 4.14.  Add  (B) to the lower schematic in the figure. (24Feb03)


p4.10, 3rd column, 4 inches down from text top.   Replace "isolating the tank from the resonator" with "isolating the tank from the active device."   (3Dec03)

p4.11, Sidebar dealing with noise spectrum.  The equation is given as a carrier to noise ratio, CNR.  It should be NCR although both CNR and NCR appear in the literature in this equation.  (26Mar03)

p4.11, left column, 2.5 inch up from text bottom.   Change "..the circuit nonlinear amplifier"   to "..the circuit nonlinear amplifier" where the italic emphasizes that it is circuit nonlinearities that are needed for modulation.  (22June03)

p4.11, left column, 0.5 inch up from text bottom.  Change "represent" to "represents"   (22June03)

p4.12, left column, top of text:    replace "like a esoteric" with "like an esoteric"    (9Dec03)    

p4.12, right column, end of text:   replace "emitter R into an"  with "emitter R in a"    (9Dec03)    

p4.13, Right col, 4th line down from text top.  "it's" becomes "its" (26Mar03)

p4.13,  1st col., 1 inch down from top.  Replace "autotransformer" with "transformer"   (3Dec03)

p4.13, right column, 1.0 inch down from text top:   replace "Fig 4.1" with "Fig 4.4"     (9Dec03)

p4.14, first col, 1.0 inches down from text top:  Change that sentence to:  A crystal cross-section, a symbol, and an equivalent circuit are shown in Fig. 4.22.  (24Feb03)

p4.14, middle col, 1.7 inches down from text top:  those are 470 pF capacitors rather than 470 pF inductors.  (24Feb03)

p4.15, caption for photo:  The caption should make reference to Fig. 4.28 rather than 4.22. (24Feb03)

p4.15, Fig 4.27.   Caption:  Remove the second sentence, for a constant Lm is NOT a good general model for all crystals.   (1Aug09)  

p4.15, Fig 4.28.   The inductor should be 57 nH.    This should be replaced in both the figure and in the caption.   The caption should also say that the inductor is formed with 3 inches of wire with 5 turns (not 3) wound on the 6-32 screw. (10Nov05)    The L value was corrected in the 3rd printing, but the wire length was not.  (17April9)                  

p4.16, Fig 4.32 caption.   Replace "that a C" with "that at C"     (3Dec03)

p4.18, middle column, 0.8 inch down from text top.  Change "course" to "coarse"  (22June03)

p4.20, left col, 4th line down.  Replace length shows with lengths show (24Feb03)  

p4.24, right column, bottom of page:  replace the sentence "Assume, for example, that 1-Hz changes the reference at the detector." with  "Assume that the reference at the phase detector changes by 1 Hz."   (9Dec03)   OK, the new sentence is there, but now we need to change the "1H2" to "1 Hz"  .   (17April9)

p4.25, Fig. 4.47.  The resistors, top to bottom, are 1K, 10K, and 4.7K. (24Feb03)   

p4.25, Fig 4.47.   The 74HC193 is shown as having pins 5 and 14 connected to +5 volts.   It should be pins 5 and 16 to 5 volts.  (8May11)

p4.26, left col, 1.2 inches down from text top:  Cross out at the  (24Feb03)

p4.26, right col, 1.7 inches below text top:  replace generate with generated (24Feb03)   

p4.27.  Wrong photo.    Here's a version of the right photo:    

(24Feb03)   (The book version has no color!)

p4.27, Fig 4.51.  The 3N211 should be labeled as Q2.  (24Feb03)

p4.28, right col, 1.2 inches down from text top:   Cross out 4511, for that is not in the referenced figure. (24Feb03)
