This is the schematic for an FM transmitter with 3 to 3.5 W
output power that can be used between 90 and 110 MHz. Although the stability isn't so bad, a PLL can be used on this circuit.
This is a circuit that I've build a few years ago for a friend, who used it in combination with the BLY88 amplifier to obtain 20 W output power. From the notes that I made at the original schematic, it worked fine with a SWR of 1 : 1.05 (quite normal at my place with my antenna). |

I have already A fully welded kit with 7 to 10 km long range. With box aux in & mic port.Just plug and play. Need gp antenna or dipole antenna. If any one want to buy pls e-mail me. Price Is us doller 200. Shiping charge extra. afzaldaman@rediffmail.com | ||
I would like to add pll control to osc. I have a seperate module for this that generated a 2volt control sigggnal i assume conn this thru 30k resistor to varactor diode,may work,do you have any suggestions if this is feasable?. | ||
hello sir how r u? thanks for fm circuit. plz tell me more about L2,L3,L5,L7,L9 6-hole Ferroxcube Wide band HF Choke (5 WDG) is it available in market? if yes then whats its name plz tell me in details sir thanks i m waiting ur answer sir thanks again | ||
i did not found BF115?? | ||
i make this.. but i have a problem i could not found bb405 varicap.. so can i use BB109 with BB405?? PLEASE HELP ME? ITS URGENT. | ||
Sir... Can you please explain what are the different parts in this circuit ?? | ||
This is an awsome transmitter. that i had ever seen in my life with an unbelievable range of 8 miles . thank u very much sir. its amazing!!!!!!!!!! | ||
What the hell is wrong with all those lazy people? Why can't they just try putting together the circuits themselves instead of having to be spoon-fed the whole building process. Even weirder is, that some of them are claiming to be studying electronics related subjects and needing these circuits for their graduation project. If that's true, than how can't you understand these fairly simple diagrams, and what does that say about the intelligence of students or colleges/universities? It's mind boggling when you think about it. (Editor's notes: I agree 100%.) |

Stop begging please. This is an easy schematic, so it shouldn't take you long to create a pcb layout from it. If you can't then you shouldn't start with this project. If you don't know how to make the coils/inductors, go start with a simple transmitter, google for "FM BUG". With these small transmitters yo ucan gain a lot of experience, then you can start with bigger projects. Stop asking about teh range, because the range depends on many factors, how you build the transmitter, your swr, and the quality of the coax etc. All passive components are available on the market, except for the 2N3866 and 2N3553 but you still can buy them from e-bay (watch out for fakes), well some companies still make them but you'll need to find it out yourself, I'm not going to post any links here. If you want any other transistors you need to checkout the datasheets of them and compare them with available transistors. For BF115 you can use a BF199. 7810 is a voltage regulator, you can buy this component it's really cheap (yes even for Indians). Look for 7810 or 78L10, they're available in a TO-92 and a TO-220 package. And people don't forget to use a dummyload when you're configurating the stages and power. If you don't use a dummyload you will burnout the final transistor. For the stability, you need to cool your transistors with good heatsinks, use the proper shielding for every stage, and build a good metal case around your transmitters pcb. The ferroxcube thingy is a simple wide band choke with 6 holes in it. If you don't know what it is google it (image's), you can get this part everywhere. And my final words are; don't use this crappy transmitter for serious businness! Because it will interfere on the whole RF band, it will jam important frequencies (air traffic, emergency etc)! I will build this transmitter this month with a fifteen watt amplifier. Imma going to check this page often. | ||
this transmitter with a home made broadcast centre can do wonders.try it with multireplier and communication within 3 miles using a modulated mike in specific radios will do wonders.i made it why not you! | ||
I made it but not working why? plz send me a circuit with easy way. | ||
Well to those who are having trouble, it may help to a) try building an simple(r) FM transmitter (google search) or b) try building an AM transmitter, unless FM is necessary. Also, looking up what each individual component is, and what it's job is in this project may also help. (slightly simpler) ones (for casual learning/fun): http://www.pira.cz/entx1.htm | ||
Have any questions been answered yet?
This is a test question to see if any one monitoring this site.
What happens if I poop on the transmitter? (Editor's notes: Questions aren't answer here, hence why these are called "Comments". If you want your question answers, post to the forum as it says above the comments section.) |

the transmitter design is just basic. it will give 3-4 watts with the output device with ease. but the oscillator is not pll so it may not be stable in frequency operation. add a pll (phase locked loop) to the oscillator and youre on to a good start. my design that i made uses a similar layout and i added a pll to it and its now giving out about 7 watts into 50ohms. | ||
We are a licensed LP FM radio station that has to duce our max output of 100 watts down to 50 watts because of our proximity (Within 100 miles) to the California/Mexico border.. ok now that we establish a transmitter site we are required to reduce our 50 watts down to 3 watts because of the position on top of a hill, otherwise known as the line of sight over the community. Is it worth it to have an LPFM in my community if i cant get maximum coverage or wattage..? | ||
A semi-professional stereo coder to complete this transmitter can be found at http://homepage.univie.ac.at/johann.doblhofer/sender/sesmanl.html although the description is in German | ||
Will using a longer antenner provide greater range.? | ||
Hey, cool it boy; it just so happens that there are a few of us out here who are not conversant with all the jargon of electronics! Perhaps if you should explain just what the items named actually are, we would all be a lot happier, especially the fellow who is asking! An inductor, for example, is a wire coil, wound according to a certain criteria, and soldered into place. Now you have a go! | ||
You're a jerk. People like you make our planet a nasty place to live. | ||
WTF??? If you don't know what a regulator is, or how to make an inductor, or how to work out how far a 3watt transmitter will propergate then you SHOULDN'T BE TRYING TO BUILD ONE!!! Try simpler things fist, like water alarms. Then move on to FM transmitter kits (google search that). You definately shouldn't be worrying about 20/30/50/100watt outputs yet. Besides, this ciruit is non PLL (free running), high power ios completely pointless!! The frequency will be all over the place!! Don't keep embarrasing yourselves with silly questions, DO YOUR RESEARCH!! | ||
Well I would like to build this transmitter my self but I dont know how far it is going to cover, it also seems it will be transmitting MONO. Is there a way I can go about it to make it STEREO. Please let me know, and weather I can change the Watts and also what about the frequency? is it adjustable. Thank you | ||
i wanna run a radio station w/ at least 1 mile distance just want to open up the box plug it in and start i been resarchin on buildin one but i cant get a hold all those electronics where can i buy a package to start my underground radio station or a list of where i can find one sutibule for my needs i can put it together thats not a prob. can u help | ||
please ! could you explain me more about 8 WDG, Dia 5 mm, 1 mm CuAg, Space 1 mm and how could I mount the coil in pracitce Vy Kindest Rgrds francisco | ||
What is the u1? | ||
Can I make it a 30 watt-100watt by connecting its output to amplifier then to antena,or somehow?? Can I use my remote controlled car,wireless headphones, old radio or somehow just take out a receiver out of something and alter it to work for me. I need to run a radio station for atleast 1miles radius. | ||
it helps me to the final project .so that i want schematic diagram and discription of each components and ratings. | ||
U1 7810 = LM 7810 or equivalent voltage regulator, out=10V | ||
I think you can change the frequency of transmission by adjusting C14. Regards | ||
The circuit seems very useful.But it will be very helpful if you clarify my following things 1. What is its working range or how to set the frequency range. 2.Will it depend on the antenna height. 3.What is the use of 7810 Regulator. | ||
1.WILL YOU TELL ME ABOUT "U1 7810 REGUTATOR". USE AND OPERATION 2.WHAT WILL BE THE RANGE ? 3.HOW TO SET THE FREQUENCY? THANK YOU | ||
