Description: This field strength meter consists of a tuned crystal detector that generates a DC output voltage from a transmitted signal. The DC voltage is utilized to modulate the frequency of a transmitter with a power output of 100 mW, operating at a frequency of 1650 kHz. The frequency shift produced is directly proportional to the strength of the received field. This unit has an operational range of several hundred feet and complies with FCC Part 15 regulations, permitting a maximum power output of 100 mW into a 2-meter-long antenna within the frequency range of 510 to 1705 kHz.
The field strength meter is designed to measure the intensity of electromagnetic fields by converting radio frequency signals into a measurable DC voltage. The core component, the tuned crystal detector, is calibrated to resonate at the desired frequency of 1650 kHz. When an RF signal is received, the detector rectifies the alternating current (AC) signal, producing a corresponding DC output that varies with the strength of the incoming signal.
The DC output voltage is then fed into a frequency modulation circuit within the transmitter. This circuit adjusts the transmitter's output frequency based on the level of the detected field strength. The modulation allows for real-time monitoring of field strength variations, making it an effective tool for assessing electromagnetic interference and signal propagation in various environments.
The operational range of several hundred feet indicates that the device is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, making it versatile for field testing and experimental setups. Compliance with FCC Part 15 ensures that the device operates within the legal limits for unlicensed transmission, which is crucial for avoiding interference with other licensed radio services.
The antenna used in this setup is a 2-meter-long structure, optimized for the frequency range specified. This length allows for effective transmission and reception of signals within the operational bandwidth of 510 to 1705 kHz. The design ensures that the field strength meter remains sensitive to changes in the electromagnetic field while maintaining regulatory compliance. Overall, this field strength meter presents a practical solution for monitoring and analyzing RF environments in a variety of applications. This field strength meter consists of a tuned crystal detector producing a dc output voltage from a transmitted signal. The dc voltage is used to shift the frequency of a transmitter of 100-mW power operating at 1650 kHz.
The frequency shift is proportional to the received field strength. This unit has a range of several hundred feet and is operated under FCC part 15 rules (100-mW max power into a 2-m-iong antenna between 510 and 1705 kHz).
