FOUR-STAGE FM TRANSMITTER

PRADEE G.

This FM transmitter circuit uses four radio frequency stages: a VHF oscillator built
around transistor BF494 (T1), a preamplifier built around transistor BF200 (T2), a driver
built around transistor 2N2219 (T3) and a power amplifier built around transistor
2N3866 (T4). A condenser microphone is connected at the input of the oscillator.

Working of the circuit is simple. When you speak near the microphone, frequencymodulated signals are obtained at the collector of oscillator transistor T1. The FM signals
are amplified by the VHF preamplifier and the pre-driver stage. You can also use
transistor 2N5109 in place of 2N2219. The preamplifier is a tuned class-A RF amplifier
and the driver is a class-C amplifier. Signals are finally fed to the class-C RF power
amplifier, which delivers RF power to a 50-ohm horizontal dipole or ground plane
antenna. Use a heat-sink with transistor 2N3866 for heat dissipation. Carefully adjust
trimmer VC1 connected across L1 to generate frequency within 88-108 MHz. Also adjust
trimmers VC2 through VC7 to get maximum output at maximum range.

9V supply to the oscillator, so variation in the

supply voltage will not affect the frequency generated. You can also use a 12V
battery
to
power
the
circuit.
Regulator IC 78C09 provides stable

Assemble the circuit on a general-purpose PCB. Install the antenna properly for
maximum range. Coils L1 through L5 are made with 20 SWG copper-enamelled
wire wound over air-cores having 8mm diameter. They have 4, 6, 6, 5 and 7 turns
of
wire,
respectively.
EFY note. This transmitter is meant only for educational purposes. use of this
transmitter with outdoor antenna is illegal in most parts of the world. The author

friends if you people required the printed circuit boardPCB design of this circuit or
any other circuits then write to me at akjhacec7@gmail.comremember i will only
provide you the PCB design not PCB manufactured board. specially design is
important so by getting the design you can easily get manufactured your PCB from
market.

Most of poeple feel difficulties to make the PCB. It is better idea to post the PCB with
this circuit. So that every one can built this project easly. Thank you. The PCB can be
made with ExpressPCB software. which can be download free . i have downloaded
this software. and cracded
