3Watt FM transmitter Diy (2N3553)
By SZ123 • 2009-07-27 • Category: FM Transmitter Diy • RSS 2.0 • Trackback •Discrete components of the design of phase-locked loop transmitter 3 to 3.5 W.
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.
The circuit has been tested on a normal RF-testing breadboard (with one side copper). Make some connections between the two sides. Build the transmitter in a RF-proof casing, use good connectors and cable, make a shielding between the different stages, and be aware of all the other RF rules of building.
Q1 and Q5 should be cooled with a heat sink. The case-pin of Q4 should be grounded.
C24 is for the frequency adjustment. The other trimmers must be adjusted to maximum output power with minimum SWR and input current.
