Tunable Phono Oscillator -  A "phono oscillator" is a simple, short-range AM band transmitter that was typically used to send the signal from a phonograph to a nearby radio, eliminating the need for an amplifier and speaker.  This version uses only one transistor and can be tuned to any desired frequency near the top of the AM band.  Fidelity is surprisingly good considering the simplicity and is suitable for transmitting "Golden Age of Radio" type shows to a restored tube set.   __  Contact:  Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.

TV Audio Video Transmitter -  This TV transmitter transmits audio and video signal from Camcoder Camera, DVD, VHS, Satellite, video game, etc.  Playing them in a channel free from the strip of VHF.  These signal can be radiated with a common antenna and captured in an it distances of until about 500 meters that it is the most appropriate for urban areas, reminding that and necessary to be a lot of caution and careful for not interfering in frequencies of other issuing, as well as to emergency services.__ 

TV Audio-Video Transmitter -  Schematic only __ Designed by va3iul

TV transmitter -  The TV transmitter given here uses UK standard 1 FM modulation for sound and PAL for video modulation.  The audio signal to be modulated is pre-amplified using the transistor Q1 and associated components.  The transistor Q2 has two jobs: production of carrier frequency and modulation.  The pre-amplified audio signal is fed to the base of transistor Q2 for modulation.  Capacitor C5 and inductor L1 forms the tank circuit which is responsible for producing the carrier frequency.  The video signal is fed to the emitter of transistor Q2 via POT R7 for modulation.  The modulated composite signal (audio+video) is transmitted by the antenna A1.__ 

TV Transmitter -  This is a small TV transmitter circuit which transmits in VHF band, negative sound modulation and PAL video modulation.  it is suitable in countries where the B and G system is used.__ 

TV Transmitter -  A VHF band TV transmitter using negative sound modulation and PAL video modulation.  This is suitable for countries using TV systems B and G.   __ Designed by Submitted David Kwaku Celestin

TV Video Transmitter -  This is a TV transmitter for transmitting video of various video sources such as video cameras, Satellite receivers, DVD players, game consoles, etc.  TV transmitter's circuit is working on the 470-580 MHz frequency and can be received on UHF channels 21-34.  TV Video transmitter can radiate as far as 300 meters by using a 10-20 cm wire antenna.  TV transmitter requires voltage of 9-15 Volts.  However, you can also use a 9v batteries.  Oscillator is based around BF199 and BFR90 RF transistors.  if needed the range of TV transmitter can be extended by replacing BFR90 with 2N3886 transistors.__

Two key projects -  This is a circuit that I particularly like due to its simplicity and speed of construction.  With this circuit, it is now possible to include a paddle keyer as an integral part of all, but the smallest, of QRP CW transmitters.  it also satisfies my hate for CMOS ! !  __ Designed by Harry Lythall-SM0VPO

Two transistor 40 milliwatt fox transmitter -  This two transistor 144 MHz transmitter uses a 48 MHz scanner crystal as an oscillator / tripler.  A second transistor boosts the power output to 40 milliwatts.  A 7-element filter is used to minimize output on the third harmonic. (I did not want it to be easy to RDF this on the 450 MHz third harmonic)  __ Contact Joe Leggio WB2HOL

Two Transistor FM Colpitts Transmitter -  This simple transmitter operates from a 9V battery as shown above.  I personally built this for a purpose.  This is how it happened:"members of my singing group find it difficult to handle a FM mic in Church.  The choir sings in acapella form and the congregation expect us to perform well.  The old FM mic system was not a perfect solution,  __ Designed by Andy Collison

Ultrasonic Remote Control and Intruder Detector -  This transmitter is designed to work with the next circuit as a remote control transmitter/receiver. it is only a single channel and you could once get multi-channel chips for the whole job. However ultrasonics have fallen out of favour commercially so I think most of these chips are now obsolete. __ Designed by Richard Torrens

Ultrasonic switch transmitter & receiver -  The circuit described generates (transmits) ultrasonic sound of frequency between 40 and 50 kHz.  As with any other remote control system this cirucit comprises of a minI transmitter and a receiver circuit.  Transmitter generates ultrasonic sound and the receiver senses ultrasonic sound from the transmitter and switches on a relay __ Designed by Andy Wilson

Ultrasonic transmitter -  This is a fairly commonly published self-oscillating driver for ceramic (piezo) resonators. However with some resonators it can be a bit temperamental: the 1n0 capacitor across the top transistor of the totem-pole helps it to start up. Some resonators won't need this. __ Designed by Richard Torrens

USB FM Transmitter -  Here is a simple USB FM transmitter that could be used to play audio files from an MP3 player or computer on a standard VHF FM radio by connecting it to an USB port.  The circuit use no coils that have to be wound.  This USB transmitter can be used to listen to your own music throughout your home.  To keep the fm transmitter circuit simple as well as compact, it was decided to use a chip made by Maxim integrated Products, the MAX2606.  This IC from the MAX2605-MAX2609 series has been specifically designed for low-noise RF applications with a fixed frequency.  The VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) in this IC uses a Colpitts oscillator circuit.  The variable-capacitance (varicap) diode and feedback capacitors for the tuning have also been integrated on this chip, so that you only need an external inductor to fix the central oscillator frequency.__ 

USB FM Transmitter MAX2606 -  This MP3 Player FM transmitter can be used to listen to your own music throughout your home.  The transmitter circuit use no coils that have to be wound.  When this FM transmitter used in the car, there is no need for a separate input to the car stereo to play back the music files from your MP3 player.  __ 

USB Mono FM Transmitter -  This small FM transmitter with a range of about 50 meters designed for connection to the USB port.  With lots of mini-transmitters then you have a comprehensive, action-packed radio program.  Due to the power supply via the USB port of a high frequency stability is achieved.  Alternatively, the receiver, a battery 5 to 12 volts to operate.__ 

USB RDS Coder Board using ATmega32 -  This board is a RDS coder using an ATMEL AVR ATmega32.  This board can be controled by a RS232 link, USB interface or SPi.  TA data is displayed wiyth a LED and can be controled by : - Hardware input - RS232 - USB - SPI (not yet implemented) __ 

V7 VHF FM Transmitter  -  The circuit itself is fairly conventional, with a couple of small refinements.  it all begins with TR1 (BC547) in an inverted Hartley oscillator configuration.  The feedback to the Base of TR1 is via a small 4.7pf capacitor to help keep the oscillations as weak as possible whilst allowing the oscillator to be a reliable starter __ Designed by Harry Lythall-SM0VPO
