USB Powered FM Transmitter Circuit

The radio is a very simple media. Just a few electronic components able to transmit on the FM band. Aside of course, make these frequencies is illegal. This FM transmitter, which is powered by USB, recovers output on your computer or your MP3 player to the relay on the tape FM (frequency 108 MHz).

For Assemblying this FM transmitter kit, a beginner will take about 3 hours to tinker the issuer, an electronics hobbyist will have built in about 30 minutes.





FM Transmitter Construction
It is not necessary to drill the transmitter PCB. All components will be soldered to the plate with their legs folded, like this:
The two transistors and the LEDs are polarized:
The transistor has a flat side, the LED a foot longer than the other is the anode (A), the other is the cathode (K). The audio cable (minijack) must be transformed from a stereo cable into a cable



Mono Sound:
Soldering together the white and red cables, leaving aside the yellow cable (mass). The frequency setting will be turning the variable capacitor gently with a screwdriver or thin cardboard but rigid.



FM Transmitter Parts List

  • 1 Ohm resistor 510 (green - brown - brown)
  • 100 resistor 1 kOhm (brown - black - yellow)
  • 1 MOhm resistors (brown - black - green)
  • 1 capacitor 0.1 uF (0.1)
  • 1 nF capacitor 47 (0.047)
  • 1 capacitor 4.7 pF (479)
  • 2 pF capacitors 22 (22)
  • 1 variable capacitor 1.5 pF ... 15
  • 2 transistor BF 246 (F246A)
  • 1 red LED
  • 1 audio cable (minijack)
