How to Build a 18w FM Transmitter


Build a 18w FM Transmitter. Here's a transmitter for commercial FM band provides up to 18 watts of power. Entering an audio signal 1 Vpp standard , which may come from a mixer or stereo coding stage , this system can cover an entire medium of low houses people or an entire neighborhood in a city. If required you can build more power and interconnect output stages to increase the coverage area of the station. 

Since the electronic diagram is too wide for placement on screen we decided segregated into two , in order to be seen without the need to move from side to side of the screen. The point where we cut only two drivers ( represented by A and B ) which are marked with arrows.

The Coils and Shocks Should Be Made According to the Following Table:

L1 ------- 3 Turns on ferrite of 5x10mm
L2 ------- 3 Turns on air 9mm ( 10mm long )
L3 ------- 1 Return on 12mm air
L4 ------- 4 turns on air 9mm ( 12mm long )
L5 ------- 2.5 laps on ferrite of 5x10mm
L6 ------- 1 Return on 12mm air
L7 ------- 2.5 laps on HF type ferrite 10x5mm
L8 ------- 3 Turns on air L8 9mm ( 8mm long )
L9 ------- 1 Return on 12mm air
L10 ------- 2.5 laps on ferrite of 5x10mm
L11 ------- 2.5 laps on ferrite of 5x10mm
L12 ------- 7 laps on air 9mm ( 19mm long )
L13 ------- 3 Turns on air L13 13mm ( 7mm long )
 

The variable capacitor connected to the collector of transistor BF199 to adjust the transmission frequency of the circuit. 2K2 potentiometer (which is linear ) serves fine tuning. Once the output frequency should be adjusted following variable capacitors to calibrate the remaining stages of the transmitter. Remember that these settings are made from the capacitor on the left to the one on the right. Remember that the initial settings should accomplish with phantom loads and not the ultimate antenna to avoid interference to other stations.

With respect to the feeding circuit 14V and 2.5A provides 15W , whereas 18V and 3.5A provides 18W, in all cases the source must be stabilized.

The circuit must be built on an epoxy printed with the upper face (components ) reserved for interconnecting tracks and the bottom (solder ) to the ground plane. We have no printed circuit design . If someone builds this transmitter would appreciate email send us the design of the board. 

Transistors 2N3924 , 2N4427 and BLY88 must be mounted heatsinks . In this type of components used sinks star-shaped circular . In the case of transistors 2Nxxxx the ideal size is 20mm in diameter and 10mm in height, while for the BLY88 must be 75mm diameter by 100mm tall. It is mandatory to use silicone grease to optimize the transfer of temperature of the transistors to their sinks . Remember that excessive heat (a part of the output instability ) can cause damage to components.

Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver Explanation and Example Circuits

I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well

Audio signal processing IC for 1 5 V headphone stereo

General Description: The AN7500FHQ is a single chip IC optimum for a 1.5 V headphone stereo system including pre-amp., power amp. and Dolby B type noise reduction circuit. Current consumption in a Dolby circuit off mode has been drastically reduced and an operating supply voltage has also been lowered to 0.98 V. Much fewer external components  have been realized due to an integration of audio signal processing system into a single chip circuitry in a small outline package and space saving mounting of a set.
