I think the low power station has at least a few thousand watts. It is a real radio station that covers the largest city in my country.

i guess i meesed this one up, your circuit is fine,
i was kidding about 2 WATT output from the circuit above :-)

audioguru,
Your circuit is also better because it has an amplifier on the output to isolate the oscillator from changes on the load like someone walking in front of it and reflecting some of the radiation back to it.

In my electronics career, I hardly worked with RF things.
Recently, somebody on a forum posted a simple FM transmitter circuit that didn't work so I fixed and improved it in stages. My FM transmitter is just a bunch of circuits of other people that I put together.

yes i have a question about the circuit "fmtransmitter3.gif", i wanted to know could i put a headphone jack input in place of the mic? because i was going to use this for my ipod inplace of buying an itrip so any help would be good thanks

The headphones output level of an ipod is about 200 times higher than the level from a microphone. The entire preamp transistor stage of the transmitter must be removed.

The simple transmitter circuit is a lousy child's toy that would sound horrible:
1) Its RF frequency drifts all over the place if something gets near it or its antenna, and if its battery voltage drops.
2) It is mono, not stereo.
3) It doesn't have pre-emphasis (treble boost) like FM radio stations have, so it would sound muffled like an AM radio.

can anyone please suggest a simple circuit for RF POWER METER for testing the oscillator output. i foun one in the site
http://electronics-diy.com/tx500.php.
i bulid the schematic below but it doesnt work.
for the 2pF i use 1pF conected parallel. in the image of the project in the
site he uses 1.8 conected in series and he 270 resistor for the emmiter insted of 1k that he has the shematic. any suggestions;
The scematic below is from the site http://electronics-diy.com/tx200.php
thanks in advance

The power meter's circuit has the LED backwards.
Also the transistor is not biased correctly but it might work.

I don't know which 1.8, 270, 1k and emitter you are talking about.

In 1st diagrame of FM transmitter i don,t know which value of variable inductor(L1) u used?plz check this.

Platonas · 9th May 2006, 07:15 PM

You are talking about the 2watt one? Anyway it is not even 1 watt.

The coil could have 5 to 6 turns on a 6 mm diameter with a 0.6 to 1 mm wire.
C1 is better to be a variable one with values up to 60 pf and C2 can be a 12 or 15 pf capacitor. The coil does not need to be a variable one but an aircore.

gooood
thank

blaze3927 · 25th August 2007, 04:15 AM

sorry if i'm asking a stupid question. but...
would this work if i connected a headphone jack to the transmitter and put that in my ipod instead of the microphone?

Hero999 · 25th August 2007, 11:07 AM

Yes but you need an attenuator (this is no problem a couple of resistors will do) and simple transmitter circuits like this give crap mono AM radio sound quality.

hi
thanks for reply
but i have no idea plz can u send project diagram & some detail on my e mail id
manishjainshah@yahoo.co.in

manish jain · 29th August 2007, 07:16 AM

can u send some theory related to it
