Low Range Radio Transmitter - Detailed Circuit Diagram Available

This document describes a simple low-range radio transmitter circuit that uses an IC 555 timer chip to generate a 600 kHz carrier frequency. The circuit acts as an AM modulator, using a condenser microphone to modulate the 600 kHz signal with an audio signal. This modulated signal can then be transmitted up to 25 meters and received on a standard AM radio. The IC 555 chip converts the microphone's voltage into a corresponding frequency, generating an electromagnetic wave that carries the audio to a nearby AM radio receiver.

Here is a simple low range radio transmitter for transmission up to 25 metres. It is


basically an AM modulator whose signal can be received on the normal AM
radio. It can also be used as an AM radio tester.

Low range radio transmitter circuit


IC 555 (IC1) is used as a free running multivibrator whose frequency is set above 540 kHz. Here the
circuit is designed for a frequency of around 600 kHz. The frequency of the multivibr
calculated as follows:
f=1.443(R1+2R2)C1

where resistors R1 and R2 are in ohms, capacitor C1 is in microfarads, and frequency f is in hertz. This
frequency can be changed by simply replacing R2 with a variable resistor or C1 with gang capacitors. But
it may increase the complexity of the circuit. A condenser microphone is used for speaking.

The IC 555 multivibrator is used as a voltage-to-frequency converter. The output of the condenser
microphone is given to pin 5 of IC1, which converts the input voltage or voice signal into its appropriate
frequency at output pin 3. This frequency produces an electromagnetic wave, which can be detected by a
nearby radio receiver, and you can hear your own voice in that radio. Note that the receiver should be
AM type. If there is no noise in receiver, tune it to 600 kHz.

The circuit operates off a 9V regulated power supply or a 9V battery. For antenna, connect 2-3m long
wire at pin 3.
