1W fm transmitter circuit

Published:2012/10/11 2:20:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: 1W, fm transmitter

A very good 1 watt fm transmitter circuit, very easy to build circuit. It has 4 transistors, one is a very stable oscillator, followed by a buffer stage to prevent frequency variation when you adjust the transmitter. Next is a resonance stage and the final stage built with a minimum 1W transistor which must have a heatsink. You must use a LM7805 stabilizer for the oscillator diodes and one LM7809 for powering up the T1 oscillator stage. This will give you a very stable transmitter frequency. 1W FM Transmitter Circuit Diagram First build the oscillator stage and the buffer, power it up and trim the 10k linear potentiometer untill you can here a blank signal on your receiver. If you put a small piece of wire on the T2 emitter you can see that the cover range of the 2 stage transmitter is about 3 meter. After you are sure that your oscillator+buffer stage are working properly, remove the power supply and continue building the T3 resonance stage. Connect the power supply and if you adjust the trimmer (variable capacitor) from T3 collector you can see how the fm transmitter power can be varied. This stage is very important for proper functionality of the entire 1 watt fm transmitter. You must adjust the trimmer for maximum power. 1 Watt fm transmitter adjustment The final stage of the 1W fm transmitter is built with 2N4427 (recommended) or the transistors from the list. If you can’t find any, use a BD139 transistor but only for frequencies lower than 90 MHz. The output power will be lower but you get the idea. If you decide to use 2N2219 transistor for the final stage of the transmitter you must know that the output rf power will be 0.4W. Adjust the last 2 trimmers for maximum output power in the antenna. Initially use 2 x 100 Ω 0.5W resistors in parallel at the RF output. Then connect this rf probe to the output and adjust all the 3 trimmers starting from T3 to output. You must adjust it to obtain the maximum multimeter indication. Then power it off, connect the antenna and make the final adjustments for maximum broadcasting coverage distance. The oscillator and buffer stage must be enclosed in a 1 mm copper case, then do the same with the T3 and T4 stages. Use a 12Vdc power supply to power up this fm broadcast circuit. T4 will have a current consumption of around 150 mA at full power output adjustments. The total current consumption of the entire 1 watt transmitter will be around 500 mA.   (View)

PLL transmitter circuit

Published:2012/10/10 2:00:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: PLL transmitter

The PLL transmitter exciter has the functions of providing a stable, low noise, frequency-selectable RF signal and amplify it to a controllable output power sufficient to drive the power amplifier. It uses a PLL frequency synthesizer built with MC145151, which covers the FM band in 100kHz steps. The VCO covers only a few MHz without readjustment. The pll transmitter output power is controllable from zero to 4 watts. A PLL unlock detector is included, to shut down the transmitter in the event of a malfunction. The Colpitts VCO is powered from a local 9V regulator, and has the frequency controlled by two back-to-back varactors, resulting in minimal loading and thus ultra low phase noise. The output of the VCO goes through an emitter follower buffer stage, then through a broadly tuned class A amplifier, followed by a class B driver and a class C power amplifier, which use medium-Q tuned impedance matching networks. These last two stages are powered from a separate input, so that the output power of the Phase-Locked Loop transmitter can be controlled from zero to 4 W by adjusting this voltage from zero to 15V. Note that the output of this pll module does not have enough harmonic filtering to connect it directly to an antenna. If you want to use this exciter as a stand-alone low power transmitter, you should add a low pass filter. PLL transmitter circuit diagram Phase-Locked Loop transmitter PCB The Phase-Locked Loop transmitter is built on a double sided PCB, which has its top side copper left mostly undisturbed as a ground plane. The copper is removed only around non-grounded pins. The ground connections are soldered on the top side, so it’s not necessary to have plated-through holes. This drawing shows the two sides of the PCB, so that you can print it and fold it in the middle to see how the two parts align. You will have to invert the image to print it for making the board, so that the ink gets in contact with the copper. This PCB is fitted with soldered shields all around and between stages, on both sides of the board. They are best installed before populating it.   (View)

A simple fm radio transmitter circuit which covers frequencies from 88 to 108 MHz. It is built with 3 transistors: BC109, BFR91A and BFR96S. It is quite stable and the output power is around 200 mW. The first stage in a mic amplifier but if you connect this radio transmitter directly to an audio source you can remove this stage and connect the audio signal to R5.U1, 1PH51C can be replaced with LM7805. You must use a stabilized power source for oscillator stage to prevent frequency variation. You can remove C7 and use a linear potentiometer insted of R6 with the median connector to C4, one pin to ground and the other one to +. You may replace BB109 varicap diode with BB139. All coils must be perpendicular one to the other, especially L2 and L3. The oscillator stage must be encased with a copper 1mm foil. If you use an external antenna, like this fm dipole antenna connect it with a good coaxial cable because the power is low and you want to use most of it. If you don’t want to loose the rf power connect the radio transmitter close to the antenna (2 meter coaxial cable) and use a longer cable for the audio signal (coaxial). If you connect the antenna as I told you before you can cover a 300 meter in diameter area. FM Radio Transmitter Circuit Diagram   (View)

Signal generator with thyristor

Published:2012/10/10 1:56:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Signal generator

A very simple thyristor signal generator circuit which uses a single thyristor, two resistors, a capacitor and a mini-loudspeaker. Once the circuit is switched ti a current source, current flows through R1 and switches on the thyristor. The thyristor conducts current and chargers capacitor C.Since the charging current is inversely proportional to the charging of the capacitor, it slowly decreases until such a level that the thyristor switches off. Once the thyristor is off, capacitor C discharges through R2 and the whole process is repeated. The periodice switching on and off of the thyristor generates the oscillating signal. The frequency of the oscillation is determined by the C/R2 combination. Signal generator circuit diagram and PCB layout   (View)

Linear Optocoupler Circuit

Published:2012/10/9 2:35:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Linear Optocoupler

This linear optocoupler is built with MOC5010 and can be used to isolate a circuit from main grid, audio interface, in medical electronics and many other applications. Because of its high isolation resistance (1011 Ω), MOC5010 is used in applications where a circuit is powered directly from main power. With a bandwidth from 5 Hz to 100 kHz you have no reason to complain about audio signal response.MOC5010 transforms an input current variation into an output voltage variation. The linear optocoupler circuit presented here has an amplification factor of 0.75. The input must not overcome 2 Vef while bandwidth is 118 kHz at -3 dB.Amplifier A has a transfer resistance of 200 mV/mA resulting in a total amplification of 0.6 … 0.8 (-4.5 … -2 dB). The output impedance is not higher than 200 Ω so you can connect an external amplifier at pin 4. If the input voltages are higher than 2 Vef then connect a potentiometer as voltage divider like showing below optocoupler circuit diagram. Linear Optocoupler Circuit Diagram If the global amplification is too small use a regular transistor instead of FET T1. It is important to mention that 2 separate power supplies are required: both the +12 V terminals as well the 0V (ground) must be isolated from one another. In many cases it is possible to use a 12V voltage for the transmitter part from the connected device.   (View)

Infrared Receiver circuit with BPW41N

Published:2012/10/9 2:35:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Infrared Receiver circuit

This infrared receiver is used with this infrared transmitter. The output signal of D1 IR diode is amplified by IC1. The diode is BPW41N works great with the transmitter and is relatively fast (~200 ns). The impulses at IC1′s output are applied to IC2 (comparator) that separate them from ambient light. Check out the infrared alarm circuit too.The infrared received signal is decoded by a simple 2 divider, IC3a. Each impulse produces a change of the state at the stage output. The output signal is filtered with R7-C11 and decoupled with C12, resulting in an audio signal suitable for control of high impedance headphones. Infrared Receiver Circuit Diagram The output signal of the infrared receiver can be improved with the help of an order 3 active low-pass filter (cut freq at 10 – 12 kHz) that will serve as buffer stage too. With the receiver placed at 1 meter distance from the transmitter and 30% modulation, the signal to noise ratio is -50 dB. The maximum working distance without interferences was around 5 meters. The IR receiver circuit absorbs a current around 15 mA, this makes it advisable to use a rechargeable battery (NiCd).   (View)

Impulse modulation infrared transmitter circuit

Published:2012/10/9 2:34:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Impulse modulation, infrared transmitter

This infrared transmitter can be used with this infrared receiver. This transmitter uses. The modulated signal is produced by comparison of an audio signal with a triangle signal of high frequency using a comparator IC. An appropriate triangle signal generator must have the offset equal with half of the 5V power supply voltage and the triangular signal size is 2.5V. Check out the infrared alarm circuit too.For a wider range of the infrared transmitter the current through LEDs must he high. Because the LED cannot stand high dc currents, the impulses must be short so we use PWM. The pulses are generated by XOR gate IC2d that compares the original PWM signal with the delayed by R5-C3-IC2c. The IC2d output signal produce T1 switching and in this way the LEDs absorbed current is limited at 400 mA peak with help from R6. The average current consumption of the infrared transmitter circuit will be around 90 mA. P3 adjustment is made without input signal with help of an oscilloscope, so that all impulses from the output signal have the same width. Then adjust P2 so that the intervals between impulses come equal. IC1 output will then be a perfect rectangular wave. Working with the receiver and the transmitter at the same time feed an input signal at maximum value then adjust P1 to obtain minimum interference in the received signal. Finally, you may use IC2a and IC2b for the triangle signal generator. Infrared Transmitter Circuit Diagram   (View)

1 Watt Four Stage FM Transmitter

Published:2012/9/28 20:52:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: 1 Watt， Four Stage， FM Transmitter

This FM transmitter circuit uses four radio frequency stages: a VHF oscillator built around transistor BF494 (T1), a preamplifier built around transistor BF200 (T2), a driver built around transistor 2N2219 (T3) and a power amplifier built around transistor 2N3866 (T4). A condenser microphone is connected at the input of the oscillator. Working of the 1 Watt transmitter circuit is simple. When you speak near the microphone, frequency-modulated signals are obtained at the collector of oscillator transistor T1. The FM signals are amplified by the VHF preamplifier and the pre-driver stage. You can also use transistor 2N5109 in place of 2N2219. The preamplifier is a tuned class-A RF amplifier and the driver is a class-C amplifier. Signals are finally fed to the class-C RF power amplifier, which delivers RF power to a 50-ohm horizontal dipole or ground plane antenna. Use a heat-sink with transistor 2N3866 for heat dissipation (Note: or 2N4427 because it works better at 12 V and delivers up to 1 watt RF power). Carefully adjust trimmer VC1 connected across L1 to generate frequency within 88-108 MHz. Also adjust trimmers VC2 through VC7 to get maximum output at maximum range. Regulator IC 78C09 provides stable 9V supply to the oscillator, so variation in the supply voltage will not affect the frequency generated. You can also use a 12V battery to power the circuit. Assemble the circuit on a general purpose PCB. Install the antenna properly for maximum range. Coils L1 through L5 are made with 20 SWG copper-enamelled wire wound over air-cores having 8mm diameter. They have 4, 6, 6, 5 and 7 turns of wire, respectively.

FSK Filter circuit

Published:2012/9/27 21:35:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: FSK Filter

FSK or Frequency-Shift Keying is a form of frequency modulation in which the modulating signal shifts the output freq. between predetermined values. If problems arise in demodulating FSK signals, it is helpful to use the FSK filter circuit presented here. The Frequency-Shift Keying filter is very simple and it can be built inside a phone plug. The diagram shows a low pass filter made of R1 and C2. This filter has a cutoff freq. of about 1.6 KHz. Since the “0″ and “1″ signals of the FSK are sent as tones of 1.2 KHz and 2.4 KHz respectively, the filter removes all unwanted corners fron the signal. Both D1 and D2 ensure that the FSK signal is limited to about +/- 600 mV amplitude. It can be attached to a loudspeaker or headphone output.

PWM Inverter

Published:2012/9/27 21:28:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: PWM Inverter

Pulse Width Modulation or PWM technology is used in Inverters to give a steady output voltage of 230 or 110 V AC irrespective of the load. The Inverters based on the PWM technology are more superior to the conventional inverters. The use of MOSFETs in the output stage and the PWM technology makes these inverters ideal for all types of loads. In addition to the pulse width modulation, the PWM Inverters have additional circuits for protection and voltage control.The quality of the output wave form (230 / 110 volt AC) from the inverter determines its efficiency. The quality of the inverter output wave form is expressed using Fourier analysis data to calculate the ‘Total Harmonic Distortion’ (THD). THD is the square root of the sum of the squares of the harmonic voltage divided by the fundamental voltage. THD = √ V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2…………. Vn 2 / V1Based on the output waveforms, there are three types of Inverters. These are Sine wave, Modified Sine wave or Quasi sine wave and Square wave inverters. Sine waveAlternating current has continuously varying voltage, which swings from positive to negative. This has an advantage in power transmission over long distance. Power from the Grid is carefully regulated to get a pure sine wave and also the sine wave radiate the least amount of radio power during long distance transmission. But it is expensive to generate sine wave in an inverter. Its quality is excellent and almost all electrical and electronic appliances work well in sine wave inverter. Sine Wave The sine wave is the AC waveform we get from the domestic lines and from the generator. The major advantage of sine wave inverter is that all of the house hold appliances are designed to operate in sine wave AC. Another advantage is that the sine wave is a form of soft temporal rise voltage and it lacks harmonic oscillations which can cause unwanted counter forces on engines, interference on radio equipments and surge current on condensers. Modified Sine wave or Quasi Sine wave Modified sine wave is designed to simulate a sine wave since the generation of sine wave is expensive. This waveform consists of a Flat Plateau of positive voltage, dropping abruptly to zero for a short period, then dropping again to a flat plateau of negative voltage. It then go back to zero again and returning to positive. This short pause at zero volts gives more power to 50 Hz fundamental frequency of AC than the simple square wave.   (View)
