Magnetic-Radiation Remote-Control -  Short-range 35KHz operation, single-channel units; Simple circuitry, no outer antennas required __ Contact Flavio Dellepiane, fladello @ tin.it

MC145151 PLL FM Transmitter -  This PLL has been designed with an old Motorola circuit :the MC145151.  The VCO is based on a "Colpitz" oscillator equiped with a FET Transistor. (J310) Two varicap Diodes are used in order to reduce the global noise of the VCO.  in addition, these two diodes allow the PLL to keep the lock status through a large range of climatic conditions.  An another J310 is used in order to match the impedance between the oscillator and the fist amplifier stage.  A MSA1105 from Minicircuits increases the RF power level coming from the VCO to +14dBm.  A simple low pass filter rejects the second harmonic to -20 dB. (Worst case) Finally, a 7 dB attenuator and a second amplifier stage (BFR96S) achieve this radio design.   __ Designed by Michel P

MC145170 PLL FM Transmitter -  in order to simplify the transmitter design, we've used the new pll circuit from Motorola :the MC145170.  This PLL includes the prescaler and a serial standard bus called SPi.__ 

MC145170 PLL FM transmitter -  This new FM transmitter is very simple and doesn't need any RF tuning.  First of all , we have used an integrated VCO: The POS150 from Mini-circuits.  This excellent RF circuit covers all the FM Band in a voltage range of 4V to 8V.  The Kvco factor is very stable all over the FM band, (08/08/08)  __ Designed by Michel P

Medium range transmitter -  This is a medium range transmitter circuit diagram.  This is also improved by changing the values of the resistor __ Contact Ashad Mustufa

Medium-Power FM Transmitter -  The range of this FM transmitter is around 100 metres at 9V DC supply. The circuit comprises three stages.  The first stage is a microphone preamplifier built around BC548 transistor.  The next...__ Electronics Projects for You

Micro Power AM Broadcast Transmitter -  in this circuit, a 74HC14 hex Schmitt trigger inverter is used as a square wave oscillator to drive a small signal transistor in a Class C amplifier configuration.  The oscillator frequency can be either fixed by a crystal or made adjustable (VFO) with a capacitor/resistor combination __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Micro Spy with FETs -  Circuit and notes only, no circuit description given.   __ Designed by Tony van Roon  VA3AVR

Micro Spy with TTL -  This circuit is old (70's) but since the 74LS13 is from the regular 74xx series and easy to obtain, I decided to keep the circuit in place until components are no longer available.  Not much to tell here.  Performance is based on the 74LS13, a 'Dual 4-input Positive-Nand Schmitt Trigger'.  This circuit was experimental and so has no real purpose other than tinkering.   __ Designed by Tony van Roon  VA3AVR

Micro Spy with USW -  Circuit and notes only, no circuit description given.   __ Designed by Tony van Roon  VA3AVR

Micro Transmitter Bug -  Presented FM transmitter bug is built using BF414 / BF324 / BF606 transistor.  The 30cm antenna has a range of about 30m in the building, more in the open field.  Power supply 2x AAA batteries have been used with voltage of 2.75 V.  I added resistor 10K in parallel with 1.5pF capacitor so that the system works well when connected to an external source (mp3 player / computer).  On the computer I had to reduce sound to about 35% of capacity, so that I do not have clipping.  I managed to improve transmitter stability with simple shielding.  The coil is 5 turns of enameled copper wire wound on 1 mm ø = 5 mm.__ 

Micro TV transmistter -  Circuit only __ Designed by Petr Prause, OK1DPX

Micro-Spy with TTL -  This circuit is old (70's) but since the 74LS13 is from the regular 74xx series and easy to obtain, I decided to keep the circuit in place until components are no longer available.  Not much to tell here.  Performance is based on the 74LS13, a 'Dual 4-input Positive-Nand Schmitt Trigger'.  This circuit was experimental and so has no real purpose other than tinkering.   __ Designed by Tony van Roon  VA3AVR

Mini AM transmitter using LM386 & 4 MPF102 FETs for an output stage -  The small Proto PC board (center) holds only the LM386 audio amp, the modulation transformer & the MPF102's.  The oscillator is the separate board to the left.  Because every x-tal synth CB rig I get my hands on, I salvage the crystals, I am using a two-crystal frequency synthesis system to generate the proper BC band frequency. (i'm using 1630Khz, here.  More detail, below.)  __ Designed by N1NKM

Morse Adaptor for your VHF/UHF FM rig -  Everyone knows that the best way to practice Morse is to use it on the air.  But how do you send Morse if you don’t have a multimode HF or VHF transceiver?Well, you could hold a microphone up to a code practice oscillator, and hold the PTT down while pressing the key, but it’s very clumsy, and the transmitted tone is likely to be harsh.  Clearly something better is needed.   __ Designed by Peter Parker

Morse Code Beacon Keyer -  This circuit stores a single morse code message as bits in an EPROM chip, the message is sent to a relay which can key a CW transmitter.  The keyer can output either a one-shot message such as "CQ DX DE CALLSiGN", or a continuous message.  The continuous mode is useful for making beacons for low power (QRP) and slow (QRSS) transmissions __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook

Morse Code Beacon Keyer -  This circuit stores a morse code message as bits in an EPROM chip, the message controls a relay that keys a CW (morse code) transmitter.  An Arduino processor can also be used in place of this circuit, that eliminates the need to build the circuit and program an EPROM. __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook
