Part I offers a simple introduction to the field-effect transistor for those who are unfamiliar with the device. Standard device design equations are rewritten to emphasize effects of dimensional changes on d-c parameters. Failure mechanisms are discussed. Part II presents a method for overcoming effects of high leakage currents in FETs. A d-c feedback circuit (similar to one described by middlebrook1 for complementary transistors) is proposed and analyzed, and a practical design procedure and circuit are presented.

This paper describes two FM multiplex demodulators which have been designed for systems employing transistorized FM tuners and stereo AF amplifiers. One adapter uses a frequency doubler as a carrier regenerator and employs the sum-and-difference method of restoring the two stereo channels. The other adapter uses a locked oscillator as a carrier regenerator, a time-share detector, and a stereo program indicator. Automatic switching is accomplished between stereo and monaural reception. Performance of both adapters is discussed, as well as design problems encountered

As transistors become available which are comparable with tubes with respect to gain and noise factor at vhf, an evaluation is necessary to establish their performance with respect to cross modulation and modulation distortion. This paper discusses cross modulation and modulation distortion measurements on available r-f transistors.

OTL Power Amplifiers (See figure 1.) The basic types of configuration evolve around either complementary pairs, or the full or half-bridge configuration. The complementary circuit requires a split power supply and matched PNP-NPN power transistors. The practicalities in procuring germanium pairs in reasonably high power ratings exclude this circuit from consideration for the high-fidelity audio amplifier designer. The half-bridge circuit is in most common use at this writing. The variations in design are in the method of drive and the use of either a split power supply or an output capacitor and a single supply.

Commercial FM broadcast-band vacuum-tube receivers have been with us for many years. Generally they have been of the relatively expensive, high-fidelity, entertainment type. However, with the advent of competitive transistors having VHF capabilities, the FM receiver market has been considerably expanded. Our country alone saw the birth of 173 new FM transmitting stations in the last sixteen months. The total number of FM stations broadcasting as of the end of April of this year was 988. It is expected that this growth of FM will be accelerated due to the over-crowding of the AM spectrum and FCC approval of multiplex stereo.

The design of a broadcast receiver requires consideration of the type of antenna to be used such that the best performance of the system is maintained. In the past, the use of a built-in air loop antenna was common in the design of home receivers and some portables. However, the effectiveness of this type of antenna decreases with its decrease in dimensions. Today, with the widespread use of transistors and the remarkable trend of appreciation of compact devices on the part of the customer, the use of such antenna has been replaced by the use of the ferrite loop antenna. The ferrite rod concentrates in a small area the magnetic flux from a large area, thus reducing the dimensions of the antenna.

It is desirable to use power transistors as switches up to their maximum collector-emitter voltage capability (BVcex). In this type operation, failure phenomena during switch-off have been observed and attributed in the literature to second breakdown, punch through, reach through, pinch off, and various types of energy level effects.
