Theory of Operation
The 555 IC (see our 555 Timer guide) is wired as an astable multivibrator for a frequency of nearly 38 kHz. This is the frequency at which most of the modern TVs receive the IR beam. The transistor acts as a current source supplying roughly 25mA to the infra red LEDs. To increase the range of the circuit simply decrease...
If we only use a simple infra LED and a battery then the range could not far, probably we must put the LED not far than 10cm from the TV IR sensor, CMIIW. But if we make the schematic as above, the range will increase, we can jam the TV remote maybe further than 3m.
