Wireless Microphone FM Transmitter

Published:2012/11/15 21:16:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Wireless, Microphone , FM , Transmitter

This Wireless Microphone FM Transmitter has been a very popular project with beginners and experienced constructors alike. It has been used inside guitars and as the basis of a remote control system. I do however, receive many requests for a higher powered circuit and better microphone sensitivity. Now I can introduce the new FM Wireless Microphone, which also has a better frequency stability, over 1Km range (under ideal conditions) and is good on microphone sensitivity. This has been achieved by adding an RF amplifier buffer (with 10dB gain) and an AF preamplifier to boost the modulation a little. Construction is quite simple. L1 is 3.25 turns in spiral form and is an integral part of the PCB foil pattern. The two BC547 transistors can be replaced with (almost) any small-signal NPN transistor, such as the 2N2222. The final stage is a BC557 PNP general purpose device. If you use different devices then you should select the 1M0 resistor for 5-volts DC at the collector of the the first transistor. Select the 47K resistor for 3 - 4 volts on the collector of the third transistor. Here is the V5 component overlay drawing. Note that there is a modification: There used to be a 1n0 5mm cap for supply decoupling, but after a cange of component supplier (manufacturer?) there developed some form of RF instability when the gain of the PA transistor was a little above normal. Replacing the 1n0 to an electrolytic capacitor of 22uf cured this problem totally. Any radial (the leads both come out of the same end) type electrolytic capacitor from 0.47uf upwards cures the problem. The finished unit draws about 30mA which should vary as you touch the tuned circuit, a good test that the unit is oscillating. You should remove the 4K7 resistor if you use a dynamic microphone. The PCB is 50mm x 25mm, a little larger than the first version but there are three stages instead of just the one. The first prototype is shown above, beside the battery powering it. The output power is about +10dBm which is about 10dB more than the first FM Wireless Microphone. This would theoretically give it 3.12 times the range (1.6Km) but I have only tested it using a handheld receiver with the TX laying on the bench indoors. But I got a comfortable 700 meters (and a few funny looks from our neighbours). Above you can see the addition of a gimmick capacitor added across the 12p tuning capacitor to lower the frequency of the transmitter. Make the capacitor by twisting two lengths of single core insulated hook-up wire, about 2cm long. This will reduce the frequency to the bottom end of the band. Cut short the capacitor to increase the frequency to the desired final frequency. If you cut it a few KHz too high then just twist the gimmick a little tighter. The PCB foil pattern and layout will be placed in the download section of my homepages. Have fun and please be aware that the higher power of this project may render it ILLEGAL in your own country. I can accept no responsibility and it is up to you to check that you may legally use it. I will accept NO complaints from any country/state correctional facility.   (View)

VHF Video Transmitter 60-200 MHz

Published:2012/11/15 21:09:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: VHF, Video, Transmitter, 60-200 MHz

Here's a simple video transmitter for VHF TV channel will accept baseband video input, hence it can be driven by most CCD cameras and VCR video outputs. It ouputs roughly 80mW and when used with a 40cm telescopic antenna over 100 meters range is possible. The transistor of the video transmitter can be a BC108, BC546, BC337 or a 2N2222. L1 is wound on a 10 mm air former. Use 6 turns 24 SWG for frequency 60-80 MHz, 4 turns for 150-180 MHz, and 2 turns for 180-200 MHz You can use this with a monochrome or color video signal. To transmit sound just build the wide band FM transmitter and tune it to the audio channel.   (View)

VHF FM Transmitter MAX2606

Published:2012/11/15 21:08:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: VHF, FM, Transmitter, MAX2606

If you want to be independent of the local radio stations for testing VHF receivers, you need a frequency-modulated oscillator that covers the range of 89.5 to 108 MHz � but building such an oscillator using discrete components is not that easy. Maxim now has available a series of five integrated oscillator building blocks in the MAX260x series which cover the frequency range between 45 and 650 MHz. The only other thing you need is a suitable external coil, dimensioned for the midrange frequency. The MAX2606 covers the VHF band, although the frequency can only be varied by approximately �3 MHz around the midrange frequency set by the coil L. The inductance values shown in the table can serve as starting points for further experimenting. The SMD coils of the Stettner 5503 series are suitable for such oscillators. In Germany, they are available from B黵klin (www.buerklin.de), with values between 12 nH and 1200 nH. You can thus directly put together any desired value using two suitable coils. If you want to wind your own coils, try using 8 to 14 turns of 0.5-mm diameter silver-plated copper wire on a 5-mm mandrel. You can make fine adjustments to the inductance of the coil by slightly spreading or compressing the coil. The circuit draws power from a 9-V battery. The BC238C stabilises the voltage to approximately 4 V. Although the MAX2606 can work with a supply voltage between +2.7 V and +5.5 V, a stabilised voltage improves the frequency stability of the free-running oscillator. The supply voltage connection Vcc (pin 5) and the TUNE voltage (pin 3) must be decoupled by 1-nF capacitors located as close as possible to the IC pins. The tuning voltage TUNE on pin 3 may lie between +0.4 V and +2.4 V. A symmetric output is provided by the OUT+ and OUT� pins. In the simplest case, the output can be used in a single-ended configuration. Pull-up resistors are connected to each of the outputs for this purpose. You can use a capacitor to tap off the radio signal from either one of these resistors. Several milliwatts of power are available. At the audio input, a signal amplitude of 10 to 20 mV is enough to generate the standard VHF frequency deviation of �40 kHz.   (View)
