Description. Here is the circuit diagram of the simplest FM transmitter using a transistor. Great performance or range is not guaranteed here, because this is an elementary design. General purpose radio frequency transistor BF 494 (Q1) is used here for obtaining FM modulation. A condenser mic is used here to pickup the sound. The condenser mic converts the sound to electrical variations and this variations are fed to the base of Q1, which performs the amplification as well as modulation. The capacitor  C2  and L1 determines the frequency of transmission. The circuit can be powered from a 9V transistor radio…

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…

How to make a long range FM transmitter at low cost Description The use of transmitters which have a more powerful output than the ‘flea-power’ are sometimes required when there are many obstacles in the path of the surveillance transmitter and monitoring station receiver, or the distance between them is too far so as to make a low powered device feasible. Whereas a typical micro transmitter will produce an RF power in the order of just a few milliwatts, i.e. a few thousandths of a watt, the VHF-FM transmitter described has a power output of between around a half and 2 watts, depending on the power source, which…
