This small FM transmitter includes a limiter, a microphone amplifier, and a PLL digital tuning. All the parts are placed on one circuit board. The RF power is switchable between 1 W (HI) and 0.2 W (LO). Technical specifications: Supply voltage: 12 V from accumulator or regulated power supply. Supply current (HI/LO): 270/170 mA. RF power HI: 1 W. RF power LO: 0.2 W. Impedance: 50-75 ohm. Frequency range: 87.5-108 MHz. Modulation type: wide-band FM. Modulation inputs: line, mic, RDS/MPX. PCB dimensions: 11.3 x 8.8 cm. The schematic diagram is divided into three parts: RF part (numbered from 1), PLL (numbered from 30), and audio part (numbered from 50). Connect a 6 V / 0.1 A bulb to the output and set the right frequency on PLL. Set the RF power to HI. 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 Q3) is in the range of 4-9 V. Then use C15, C16, and C17 to adjust the highest power (the highest light of the bulb). Then you can connect the antenna and audio signal. Adjust R1 until the audio sounds as loud as the other stations. Complete parts list.
This FM transmitter circuit is designed to provide a compact and efficient means of transmitting audio signals over a short range. The device operates in the FM frequency range of 87.5 to 108 MHz, making it suitable for personal broadcasting applications. The power output can be adjusted between two levels, 1 W for higher range and 0.2 W for lower range, allowing flexibility depending on the application and regulatory requirements.
The circuit is structured into three main sections: the RF section, the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) section, and the audio section. The RF section is responsible for generating the radio frequency signal, utilizing components such as transistors and capacitors to create stable oscillations at the desired frequency. The PLL section ensures that the transmitter can lock onto a specific frequency, providing precise tuning capabilities. This is particularly important for minimizing interference with other radio stations and ensuring clear audio transmission.
The audio section includes a microphone amplifier and modulation circuitry, allowing for the input of audio signals from various sources, including microphones and line inputs. The modulation type used is wide-band FM, which provides better sound quality and less distortion compared to narrow-band FM.
The circuit board is designed to accommodate all components in a compact layout, with dimensions of 11.3 x 8.8 cm. The use of a 12 V power supply, either from an accumulator or a regulated source, ensures adequate power for operation, with current consumption varying based on the selected RF power output.
For assembly, the parts list includes a variety of resistors, capacitors, and semiconductors, each selected for their specific roles within the circuit. Notably, the use of trimmer capacitors allows for fine-tuning of the circuit parameters, ensuring optimal performance. The inclusion of connectors for audio input, antenna connection, and power supply facilitates ease of use and integration into various setups.
Overall, this FM transmitter circuit provides a comprehensive solution for personal audio broadcasting, combining essential features in a compact design suitable for hobbyists and engineers alike.This small FM transmitter includes a limiter, a microphone amplifier and a PLL digital tuning.
