A simple little three-transistor FM wireless microphone / room bug that can really throw-out quite a signal. With a wide tuning range from 80 MHz to 120 MHz, this little device can transmit anywhere within the FM broadcast band (88 to 108 MHz) and can be heard with any standard FM broadcast receiver. A simple modification (described below)

allows the mike to operate above or below the FM broadcast band. Transmission is line-of-sight, so radius of coverage and be anywhere from 300 feet (indoors, with 9" wire antenna) up to 1 km or more using a properly matched 1/4 wave monopole ground plane antenna on a rooftop in the open countryside. For best results, I built this project on a 2. 5" x 3. 5" printed circuit board. Schematic diagram, printed circuit pattern and component layout diagram are shown below. Warning: This device is for educational purposes only! It is NOT to be used as a bug. Please keep experiments legal. It is your responsibility to check with local law authorities to determine the legal implications if you use this device.

Note: This microphone was built as part of a school project when I was a kid, which was FCC Part 15 compliant at the time. This may or may not be the case today. I no longer have the project with me as it had been damaged (connected to an HV power supply in error, accidentally "frying" the parts with 200 volts DC!). For best results, the FM wireless microphone should be built on a printed circuit board using the pattern shown above. Keep connections as short as...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
