The FM radio transmitter is a high-frequency amplifier circuit that utilizes the Mitsubishi frequency set, specifically the M57704H discharge path. It operates within the frequency range of 457-458 MHz and has a transmission power of 5 watts. As illustrated in the schematic, the input amplitude-modulated signal is processed through the M57704H power amplifier. The signal then travels through a microstrip line for matched filtering, followed by transmission through a multi-section LC network via VT1, ultimately radiating through the antenna. Additionally, there are detection paths involving VD2 and VD3, where the signals are subsequently amplified by VT2 and VT3. These amplifiers provide DC amplification, which regulates the control voltage fed back to the M57704H. This feedback mechanism adjusts the power amplifier's collector voltage, thereby stabilizing the output power of the entire integrated amplifier. The power supply for the collectors of the secondary amplifiers is fixed at 13.8V.

The FM radio transmitter circuit is designed to provide a reliable and efficient means of transmitting signals within the specified frequency range. The M57704H chip serves as the core component, functioning as a power amplifier that enhances the amplitude-modulated input signal. The choice of frequency range (457-458 MHz) is significant for compliance with regulatory standards and optimal performance in FM broadcasting.

The microstrip line used for matched filtering ensures that the signal maintains integrity and minimizes losses during transmission. This is crucial for maintaining signal quality and achieving the desired transmission range. The multi-section LC network, which is connected to VT1, plays a vital role in tuning the circuit to the desired frequency, allowing for effective modulation and transmission of the signal.

The detection paths involving VD2 and VD3 are integral for monitoring the output signal. These diodes convert the RF signal back into a DC voltage, which is then amplified by VT2 and VT3. This amplification is essential for providing feedback to the M57704H, ensuring that the power amplifier operates within its optimal range. The feedback loop is critical for maintaining consistent output power, which is particularly important in broadcasting applications to avoid signal distortion and ensure clear transmission.

The fixed power supply of 13.8V for the collector electrodes of the secondary amplifiers is a standard configuration that provides stable operation across various conditions. This voltage level is commonly used in RF applications, ensuring that the amplifiers operate efficiently without introducing additional noise or instability into the system.

Overall, this FM radio transmitter circuit exemplifies a well-designed RF amplification system that effectively combines various components to achieve high-quality signal transmission while maintaining stability and performance.FM radio transmitter is a high-frequency amplifier circuit.
