Am Transmitter Circuit Diagram
Use a 30 cm long insulated copper wire as the antenna.
Am transmitter circuit diagram. The oscillator is built around q1 and associated components. Power the circuit using a 9v battery for noise free operation. The frequency of the rf signal can be determined by the oscillator coil l1 and variable capacitor vc1. This marvel of engineering is at the same time an oscillator mixer and amplifier all in one valve structure.
The transmission frequency can be adjusted using the variable capacitance c3. Use a 200uh inductor for the l1 in the tank circuit. Am transmitter block diagram the transmitter s output amplifier circuit is shown in figure 1. In practise about 3 milliwatts into.
The tank circuit l1 and vc1 is tunable from about 500khz to 1600khz. The circuit is in two halfs an audio amplifier and an rf oscillator. The amplifier circuit consists of two of the mallory circuits connected in a push pull configuration with a coupling transformer acting as both. These components can be used from an old mw radio if available.
A one megahertz crystal oscillator this is a crystal clock oscillator such as those used in computers. Since its intended purpose was as a converter for superheterodyne receivers its output power capability is quite low. Station 1 is broadcasting at am 920 station 2 at am 1460 and station 3 at am 1040. This low cost am transmitter is tunable from 10 to 15 mhz with the help of j gang condenser vc1 which determines the carrier frequency of the amplitude modulation transmitter in conjunction with inductor l1.
Am transmitter circuit diagram. A generic printed circuit board i used radio shack s 276 159a but any general purpose printed circuit board will do. It is illegal to operate a radio transmitter without a license in most countries. The circuit is in two halfs an audio amplifier and an rf oscillator.
This ircuit is deliberately limited in power output but will provide amplitude modulation am of voice over the medium wave band. Our transmitter will need these parts. In figure 1 there are three radio stations each broadcasting at a different wavelength each station is broadcasting a radio signal consisting of a carrier wave and an audio signal. Mini am transmitter this is the simple and low cost am transmitter schematic diagram built using transistor bc109c.
The first circuit is the muntz version of a common one tube transmitter using a 12be6 pentagrid converter a k a. Radio receiver working principle. The circuit is in two halfs an audio amplifier and. Circuit description the heart of this circuit is a fet bfw10 t1 which works as a feedback oscillator.
This is the simple and low cost am transmitter schematic diagram built using transistor bc109c.
