6-17 MHz SW reciever
The described circuit is a shortwave (SW) band receiver, specifically designed to operate within the frequency range of 6 to 17 MHz. Utilizing three 2N2222 transistors, this circuit is a straightforward yet effective design for radio frequency (RF) reception.
The 2N2222 transistors serve as the main active components, functioning as amplifiers to boost the weak signals received by the antenna. The configuration of these transistors can be arranged in a common emitter setup, which is typical for RF amplifiers due to its ability to provide significant voltage gain.
The circuit's performance can be adjusted by altering the inductance of the coils used in the design. The coils are integral to the tuning process, as they, in conjunction with capacitors, form resonant circuits that can be tuned to specific frequencies within the shortwave band. By changing the number of turns in the coil or using different core materials, the resonant frequency can be shifted, allowing for reception of different radio stations within the specified frequency range.
Additional components in the circuit may include variable capacitors for fine-tuning, resistors for biasing the transistors, and diodes for demodulation of the received signals. An antenna designed for shortwave reception will also be necessary to capture the incoming RF signals effectively.
This circuit's simplicity makes it an excellent choice for hobbyists and educational purposes, as it provides a practical introduction to the principles of RF communication and the operation of basic electronic components in a radio receiver application. Its very simple as It uses only 3 transistors 2n2222.The Coils can be altered to change the range of reception by lowering or highering the frequency.
This circuit is a SW band reciever of range 6 to 17 MHz.
