Transmitter Circuits


1 Watt RF Amplifier -  This is a universal 1 Watt RF class C amplifier that is ideally suited for low power FM transmitters. Input should be at least 100mW to achieve 1W output. It is recommended to enclose the amplifier in a metal case. 1.3W VHF RF Amplifier 2SC1970 88-108 MHz -  This RF power amplifier is based on the transistor 2SC1970 and 2N4427. The output power is about 1.3W and the input driving power is 30-50mW. It will still get your RF signal quit far and I advice you to use a good 50 ohm resistor as dummy load. To tune this amplifier you can either use a power meter/wattmeter, SWR unit or you can do using a RF field meter.
1.5V Battery operated FM rebroadcast transmitter  -  This implementation is adapted to rebroadcast the output of a CD player, television receiver, or radio receiver.

What the heck am I suppose to hear you ask? When your circuit is working you should see the LED flash quite fast. Take your FM radio and search for the low-beat 'humbe-humbe-humbe-etc' equal to the flash of the LED (Tony van Roon's probably around the 100Mhz). Found it? If that position is interfere ring with a radio station....
1.5W VHF Amplifier -  This project will explain the basic function of a class-C transmitter. I will explain how to dimension a transmitter and the purpose of the different components. I will also explain how you can build a 1.5W PA transmitter. The project will include PCB 100Khz Crystal Calibrator -  There is a great deal of old amateur gear which many amateurs have decided to restore and bring back to life. While much of the early amateur transceivers work just fine they usually lack a digital readout and must rely on analog dials for tuning. The problem of dial calibration is complicated by the non-linear effects of tuning capacitors.  This month's circuit is a 100Khz crystal calibrator using an inexpensive microprocessor crystal and CMOS IC's which are readily available at Radio Shack....

At the output you can drive any linear with BGY133 or BLY87 and so on. Its power supply has to give 500mA current at 12 Volts. More voltage can boost the distance but the transistors will be burned much earlier than usual.! In any case do not exceed the 15Volts. The Amp offers 15 dB in the area of 80Mhz to 110 Mhz. L4, L5, and L6 are 5mm diameter air coils, 8 turns, with wire 1mm wire diameter. 1W Portable PLL transmitter -  This small FM transmitter includes a limiter, a microphone amplifier and a PLL digital tuning.

We have provided a number of circuits so you can work out the best type for your application and these circuits will also help you understand which components are critical.
2N2222 40 Meter CW/DSB Transceiver -  In spring of 1998, NorCal sponsored a contest to design and build a project using no ICs and 22 or fewer 2N2222s as the active semiconductor devices. I thought this was a really intriguing idea, so I set about to design my version. 2W RF Amplifier For 24/23 CM -  This page describes TX ATV Transmitter for 23 cm with output adjustable from 100 to 250mW.

Uses RC5 protocol which is probably the most used by hobbyists, probably because the wide availability of cheap remote controls and easy to understand. 3 Channel RF Remote Control -  This is a 3 channel RF remote control project.The transmitter powered by 3V battery(coin size) range about 10 m.  This remote control I use PIC12F509 from Microchip which is a 8-pin single-chip microcontroller designed for low pin count applications with 1 K words flash memory and 41Byte SRAM and some special features such Power-saving Sleep mode,Wake-up from Sleep on pin change.
30 Meter QRP Transmitter for Morse Code -  This transmitters' intended purpose is for morse-code only in  30 meter band (Tony van Roon's 10Mhz).  It is a low-power QRP type and needs to be connected to your existing tranceiver.  harmonic rejections on  prototype were measured at 40dB on 20Mhz and 50dB on 30Mhz.... [Tony van Roon's circuit] 302 MHz Prescaler -  A preamp that drives the CMOS counter input and a divide by 10 prescaler to extend the range of A Little More Serious Frequency Meter. The MCT10280 prescaler can be set to divide by 80, 40, 20, or 10, as a function of which pins are tied to the power supply. I set this one to divide by 10 since it is adequate for my needs, and the mental calculation of multiplying the meter reading by 10 is not taxing. One problem with the MCT10280 is that if it doesn't have an adequate input, the output is very noisy, which shows up as counts in the couple MHz range on the frequency meter.  This noise shows up if the signal amplitude the signal frequency is too low. For this reason, I only intend to use the prescaler with inputs between 10 MHz and 300 MHz.
303MHz TRANSMITTER with 32kHz Crystal -  We have covered 27MHz (and 49MHz) links on P1 and P2 of this article and shown how to produce a simple circuit (or buy a toy for less than $10.00) and get 4 or 5 channels.
We also showed how to produce on/off from a single channel and how to detect 27MHz with a Field Strength Meter.30m direct Conversion receiver -  This simple receiver was originally intended to check the transmission of my 30m QRSS beacon. By tuning the 30m receiver to Russia's RWM time signal on exactly 9996kHz I was able to calibrate my frequency counter, which I could then use to measure the output of the QRSS beacon and adjust the reading for a very high precision. Later, I modified my 1-valve ECL82 CW transmitter for 30m operation and enjoyed several QSO's on 30m CW.
30W VHF FM Amplifier for 88-108 MHz with BLF245 MOSFET -  The achievement of this 30-watt amplifier has been designed to take place on a heat sink microprocessor PC equipped with its fans, the advantage of this method of cooling has been selected for the fact that 3m 100 MHz small bug
3V FM Transmitter for 88MHz to 108MHz -  The important part of the circuit is formed of the Colpitts type oscillator. C3,C4,C5,C6,CD1-CD2 and L1 determines the frequency. BF982 and dual gate MOSFET are active parts in oscillator. When the input impedance of the MOSFET gate inputs are high, LC tank is not affected. However transistors force the LC tank and cause phase shift. Two driver stages are added to isolate the antenna from oscillator. First stage (BF199) amplifies the low signal of the oscillator and works as a constant load. The second stage (BFR90) amplifies the signal going through the antenna some more. A short copper wire can be used as an antenna here. Attaching a large antenna to this circuit is unnecessary because the output power is low. 3W FM Transmitter -  This is the schematic for an FM transmitter with 3 to 3.5 W output power that can be used between 90 and 110 MHz. Although the stability isn't so bad, a PLL can be used on this circuit.  This is a circuit that I've build a few years ago for a friend, who used it in combination with the BLY88 amplifier to obtain 20 W output power. From the notes that I made at the original schematic, it worked fine with a SWR of 1 : 1.05 (quite normal at my place with my antenna).

5 Channel RF AVR Remote Control -  How many times you needed some remote control to handle some electric device ? many times. There are lot of remote controls like infrared, RF, SMS (like my other circuit) and more. The basic small-range remote controls are 2, Infrared and RF (Radio Frequency). One of the weaks of Infrared is that the signal can not pass the walls. So, if you want to control your garage door, the only way is to use some RF remote control. The circuit (transmitter and receiver) use few components and ordinary (I love few component circuits) . Its easy to build it because you don't have to tune-up any coil or variable capacitor. The RF modules are fix to work in 418MHz area. 5 watt 80 meter QRP CW Transceiver -  A great deal of interest has been generated by my previous design articles, so I decided to go to work on a full blown transceiver design. After several months of work, the ROSE-80 transceiver was born.  This transceiver is similar to other designs but contains some unique differences.

5 Watt HF CW transmitter -  This is a very simple 5 watt CW TX based upon a TTL logic chip. There is just one "tricky" component and this is Cx.  This component should have an impedance of about 10 - 50 ohms at the frequency of interest. If you wish to reduce the transmitter power, increase the value of Cx. It is Cx which causes the square wave from the output transistor to approximate a sine waveform. The value of Cx is the price of simplicity in this TX.... [from Harry Lythall's website] 5 Watt UHF TV Amplifier -  This small circuit is a Linear amplifier for driving small UHF TV transmitters.

BA1404 HI-FI Stereo FM Transmitter  -  The above FM transmitter design is a result of many hours of testing and tweaking. The goal was simple; to test many existing BA1404 transmitter designs, compare their performance, identify weaknesses and come up with a new BA1404 transmitter design that improves sound quality, has very good frequency stability, maximizes transmitter's range, and is fairly simple for everyone to build. We are happy to announce that this goal and expectations have been met and even exceeded. BandPass Filter -  This band pass filter is in fact a combined high- and lowpass filter. The first stages are a high pass (f>70MHz) and the last stages a low pass (f<180MHz).
