LONG - RANGE FM TRANSMITTER

Several circuits for constructing FM transmitters have been published in EFY. The

power output of most of these circuits were very low because no power amplifier stages were incorporated.

The transmitter circuit described here has an extra RF power amplifier stage, after the oscillator stage, to raise the power output to 200-250 milliwatts. With a good matching 50-ohm groundplane antenna or multi-element Yagi antenna, this transmitter can provide reasonably good signal strength up to a distance of about 2 kilom

The circuit built around transistor T1 (BF494) is a basic low-power variable- frequenc diode circuit is included to change the frequency of the transmitter and to provide freq signals. The output of the oscillator is about 50 milliwatts. Transistor T2 (2N3866) fo amplifier. It boosts the oscillator signals power four to five times. Thus, 200-250 milliwa the collector of transistor T2.

For better results, assemble the circuit on a good-quality glass epoxy board and hous aluminium case. Shield the oscillator stage using an aluminium sheet Coil winding L1 L2 (Note: L3 L4 No 7 7 4 turns 2 of turns core turns turns of of 20 SWG of (i.e. 24 24 wire 24 air SWG close SWG core) wire close wire-wound is wound wire used wound on with a over 8mm

This transmitter should only be used for educational purposes. Regular transmission without a licence is illegal in India.

What should be the size of the Ferrite bead or the wire that will be wounded on it
