When I first listened to Bob Crane’s interview at FDIM with Keith Whites, I thought of the book “The Electronics of Radio” out of CalTech by David Rutledge. Keith Whites told me that the difference between his effort at University of Kentucky was that Rutledge’s course was designed for freshmen at Cal Tech, while White’s course was aimed at Juniors and Seniors. <\/b><\/div>\n

I told Keith Whites that I had struggled to understand the Gilbert Cell and the NE602, the device that lies at the heart of the rig used in both courses: The NE-602 Gilbert Cell Mixer used in Wayne Burdick’s NORCAL 40A. Here is how I came to understand the device: https:\/\/soldersmoke.blogspot.com\/2021\/11\/how-to-understand-ne-602-and-gilbert.html<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Here the slides that Keith used at FDIM: http:\/\/soldersmoke.com\/2022 Teaching NorCal40A.pdf<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Keith’s students obviously got a lot out of this course. <\/b>Keith has kindly offered to make his course notes available to those who need them. <\/b><\/p>\n

Thanks to Bob Crane, Keith Whites, David Rutledge and Wayne Burdick. <\/b><\/p>\n
