My group and I have been assigned the task by the professor to design an AM radio. I have done some searching for some circuits already designed to get a general idea on where to start but I have a few questions. I will most likely be desiging the audio amplifier portion of the radio but I have to meet a few specs that are as follows:
-power comes from wall socket (110 v 60hz)
-power drawn should not exceed 10 watts (for the whole radio)
-sound must come from small loudspeaker
I'm leaning toward some sort of op-amp based amplifier design to limit the number of components but I'm open to ideas. Do you guys have any suggestions as to where or what i should start with? Thanks for the help.
