2SC1946 28 Watts FM-broadcast (87,5-108MHz) rf-amplifier

2SC1946 28 Watts FM-broadcast (87,5-108MHz) rf-amplifier

All component values are drawn on the .comp and .silklayer bitmaps, with the following
exception(s);

1.- all four (4) coils (in the lowpass filter section) are:
3.5 turns, 8 mm DIA., 1.2 mm CuL closewound i.e. no wirespacing.


Notes

CuL = magnetwire, enameled copper wire, insulated (rigid) copper wire e.t.c..
(Note: 2 mm equals approx. to #12 A.W.G
1 mm equals approx. to #18 A.W.G
1.2 mm equals approx. to #17 A.W.G
0.8 mm equals approx. to #20 A.W.G
0.3 mm equals approx. to #28 A.W.G.)

(I) all diameters are measured from the inside of the coils, i.e. 'internal' diameter.
(II) make sure to mount the rf-transistor on a appropriate heatsink and use some thermal
heatsink compound between the flange of the transistor and heatsink!
(Thermal resistance heatsink at least 6°C/W.)
(!) by the way, it's always smart to study the 2SC1946 datasheet for additional
information

FM Transmitter Circuit

Here is the schematic, PC board pattern, and parts placement for a low powered FM transmitter. The range of the transmitter when running at 9V is about 300 feet. Running it from 12V increases the range to about 400 feet. This transmitter should not be used as a room or telephone bug.


Parts
C1 -0.001uf Disc Capacitor
C2 -5.6pf Disc Capacitor
C3,C4 -10uf Electrolytic Capacitor
C5 -3-18pf Adjustable Cap
R1 -270 Ohm 1/8W Resistor 270 Ohm 1/4W Resistor
R2,R5,R6 -4.7k 1/8W Resistor 4.7K 1/4W Resistor
R3 -10k 1/8W Resistor 10K 1/4W Resistor
R4 -100k 1/8W Resistor 100K 1/4W Resistor
Q1, Q2 2 -2N2222A NPN Transistor 2N3904, NTE123A
L1, L2 -5 Turn Air Core Coil
MIC -Electret Microphone
MISC -9V Battery Snap, PC Board, Wire For Antenna

Notes
  1. L1 and L2 are 5 turns of 28 AWG enamel coated magnet wire wound with a inside diameter of about 4mm. The inside of a ballpoint pen works well (the plastic tube that holds the ink). Remove the form after winding then install the coil on the circuit board, being careful not to bend it.
  2. C5 is used for tuning. This transmitter operates on the normal broadcast frequencies (88-108MHz).
  3. Q1 and Q2 can also be 2N3904 or something similar.
  4. You can use 1/4 W resistors mounted vertically instead of 1/8 W resistors.
  5. You may want to bypass the battery with a .01uf capacitor.
  6. An antenna may not be required for operation.
  7. A thanks goes out to Mike_Springer@iname.com for cleaning up the original image once displayed on the page. It looks a lot better now!
