Description. The circuit presented her will transmit a audio tone in the FM  band. The circuit can be used as a tracking signal transmitter or a remote control transmitter. The circuit uses only easily available components and any one can build this. The transmitter has a range of 100m @ 9V supply, with a matching antenna. The NE555 timer (IC1) is used for producing the audio tone. The first JFET (Q1) is wired as a Hartley oscillator which is frequency modulated by the audio tone. The second (Q2) JFET is wired as a buffer to isolate the oscillator based on…

Description. When there is a fire breakout in the room the temperature increases. This ultra compact and low cost fire alarm senses fire breakout based on this fact. Transistor BC177 (Q1) is used as the fire sensor here. When the temperature increases the leakage current of this transistor also increases. The circuit is designed so that when there is an increase in the leakage current of Q1, transistor Q2 will get biased. As a result when there is a fire breakout the transistor Q2 will be on. The emitter of Q2 (BC 108) is connected to the base of Q3(AC…

Metal Detector Circuit Description This is the circuit diagram of a low cost metal detector using a single transistor circuit and an old pocket radio.This is nothing but a Colpitts oscillator working in the medium band frequency and a radio tuned to the same frequency.First the radio and the circuit are placed close.Then the radio is tuned so that there is no sound from radio.In this condition the radio and the circuit will be in same frequency and same frequencies beat off to produce no sound.This is the set up.When the metal detector circuit is placed near to a metal…

Simple Radio Circuit Description This is a low cost simple radio circuit  based on op amp which can be used to listen to nearby stations. A simple op-amp radio basically consists of a crystal radio along with a fairly sensitive audio amplifier. The audio amplifier is able to receive strong stations around Los Angeles with a minimal 15 foot antenna. Stronger signals are always provided by longer antennas.But the main disadvantage is that in the case of long antennas the stronger signals provided may produce a noise as it could be heard in the background of the weaker signals. In…
