More 1934 Transmitter

I've gotten the components all mounted and the transmitter is ready for wiring. I learned a few things along the way...30s vintage Sangamo mica capacitors are large enough that they don't mount well on their own leads. Each one must be mechanically supported, either by a solder strip or by screwing to the wooden sides of the chassis.The wooden...

Synthesised WideBand FM Transmitter

This project is a complete crystal-controlled Wide Band Frequency Modulated (WBFM) transmitter delivering a power output in the order of 10 milli-watts (+10dBm) using simple components. The transmitter is based upon the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) principle, but due to the circuit's simplicity a true "phase lock" can never be achieved.The transmitter...

250mW FM Power Amplifier

This project is a simple 2-transistor VHF power amplifier, with about 16dB gain, and requires no tuning or alignment procedures. Wideband techniques have been used in the design and the circuit is equipped with a "lowpass" filter to ensure good output spectral purity. The project has been designed for assembly on a single-sided printed circuit...

1W AM Transmitter

This AM transmitter circuit provides a nice, clean output of about 1 Watt (carrier power). Though designed for the medium wave band (circa 1.5 MHz) it would work equally well on higher frequencies (6.2 MHz for example) with a few tweaks in component values (see table on left - C15 should be adjusted for maximum output).The carrier (produced...

2.5 W FM Power Amplifier

This rf power amplifier design for a 2.5 Watt power amplifier for the FM band. An input of 50 mW gives a final output power of 2.5 Watts with a 13 Volt supply. The best bit is that the amplifier requires no tuning once it's built - it gives roughly the same gain and output power right across the FM band from 88 to 108 MHz.There's even some...

88-108 MHz PLL FM Synthesizer

This fm synthesizer circuit is played with and optimised design for an 88-108 MHz synthesiser, programmable in 25 kHz steps. It produces about 50 mW output (and thus feeds nicely into the amplifier shown below) with no tuning required other than to set the inputs of the divide-by-N counter to the wanted frequency.FM modulation is achieved...

QRP from Frontenac State Park

Sunday afternoon, July 5, I got over to Frontenac State Park for some picnic table QRP. The picnic area there sits at the edge of a 400' bluff over looking the Mississippi River. Below the park is Lake Pepin , a naturally wide part of the upper Mississippi. To the east, across the Mississippi/Lake Pepin, is Wisconsin. The weather Sunday...

My version of the BakerTweet

In case you haven't heard about the awesomeness, the BakerTweet (www.bakertweet.com) is an Arduino based twitter client. It's a little box that sits on the wall of a bakery, and whenever something tasty comes out of the oven, the baker can select the product and let the world know via Twitter that there's a fresh batch of croissants ready.I thought this was a great idea! And I've been wanting an excuse to hook my Arduino up to...

Cheap Joystick and Accelerometer for Arduino from Wii Nunchuck

For ages now I've been wanting to play with an accelerometer but didn't really fancy paying £20-25 for the privilege. I'd also seen a lot of posts about people using the joystick from a Wii Nunchuck to control robots, servos, cameras, etc, which I didn't have a lot of interest in. Then I remembered that the Nunchuck controller actually has...
