Description: Connect two 24 V / 3 W bulbs in parallel to the output and set the right frequency on PLL. Now turn on the transmitter. You should tune it on a receiver. Maybe you might stretch coils of the L1. Fix the L1 in position when the tuning voltage (on C4) is in range 4-9 V. Then use C15, C16 and C17 to adjust the highest power (the highest light of the bulbs). Then you can connect antenna and audio signal. Adjust R1 until the audio sounds as loud as the other stations. With good antenna (dipole placed outdoor and high) the transmitter has very good coverage range about 1500 meters, the maximal coverage range is up to 20 km. Power supply: 12 V stab., 0,7 A. RF power: 3 W. Impedance: 50-75 ohm. Frequency range: 88-107 MHz. Modulation: wideband FM.
The circuit described is a wideband FM transmitter designed to operate within the frequency range of 88 to 107 MHz, suitable for short-range audio broadcasting. The transmitter utilizes a 12 V stabilized power supply with a current rating of 0.7 A, which provides the necessary power for the circuit's operation, including the RF output stage.
The output stage is capable of delivering 3 W of RF power, which is sufficient to drive two 24 V / 3 W bulbs connected in parallel as indicators of the transmitter's output power. The light intensity of these bulbs serves as a visual indication of the transmitter's operational status. The impedance of the output stage is designed to match typical antenna systems, operating effectively within the range of 50 to 75 ohms.
The circuit employs a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for frequency stabilization, which allows precise tuning of the transmitter frequency. The tuning process involves adjusting the coils, particularly L1, to achieve the desired frequency. The tuning voltage at capacitor C4 should be maintained within the range of 4 to 9 V for optimal performance. The use of trimmer capacitors C15, C16, and C17 enables fine-tuning of the output power, ensuring that the bulbs reach their maximum brightness, indicating the highest RF output.
Audio input can be connected to the transmitter, and the audio levels can be adjusted using variable resistor R1 to ensure that the audio output is comparable in loudness to other stations. The circuit's performance can be enhanced by using a well-placed outdoor dipole antenna, which can extend the transmitter's coverage range significantly, with reported ranges of up to 1500 meters under normal conditions and a maximum range of 20 kilometers under optimal conditions.
The components list includes various capacitors, resistors, coils, diodes, and transistors, each selected for their specific roles within the circuit. The capacitors range from electrolytic types for power supply filtering to ceramic types for RF applications. The coils are air-core types, allowing for a lightweight design while providing the necessary inductance for RF operation. The choice of transistors for amplification stages ensures reliable operation and good performance characteristics.
Overall, the described circuit represents a practical solution for FM transmission, combining simplicity with effective performance, suitable for hobbyists and educational projects in the field of radio frequency communication.Connect two 24 V / 3 W bulbs in parallel to the output and set the right frequency on PLL.
