AI Thread Summary
To design an FM transmitter, the initial steps involve selecting an appropriate antenna and understanding its parameters, including length and transmission distance. The discussion highlights the need to calculate the power to be transmitted and determine the output power from the radio amplifier. It also emphasizes the importance of the LC oscillator's configuration and the placement of components like the feedback capacitor. Additionally, biasing resistor values for amplifiers should be based on specific voltage ratings. Providing a schematic and clarifying the device's purpose are crucial for receiving effective guidance on RF circuit design.

Guys, from circuitstoday.com I researched, I understood ig picture of a basic FM transmitter. there should have basic blocks like audio amp, modulator (oscillator included), radio amp and the anttena. suppose I want to build a FM transmitter, what is my first step?

step1
says I choose 0.5m long copper wire anttena, diameter to be determined, and want to have a tranmission length of 1m, what parameter is to be tuned at the anttena?can you provide the anttena formula as complete as you can-is it material dependent?how to caculate the power to be transmitted?

step 2
after I understodd the power to be transmitted, I may define the output power from radio amp, right?can someone tell me how to decide/calculate the capacitance of the ac decoupling?

step3
now come to the part of oscillator, says I use a LC osciallator the frequencies could be determined right?the connection of the LC oscillator, it should be connected before the node of ouput resistor of the transistor or after?how do we determine the value of the feedback capacitor connected to the osicillator

step4
about amplifier in general, based on what we determine the biasing resistor value, is it referring the amplifier spec for its specify Veb, Vcb?

great thanks...
and for sharing, designing a remote control is easy as just to combine the encoder/decoder with the trasceiver, so the key knowledge is to learn up the RF circuits and then the RC would be easy, just for sharing...

someone reply me please...
please...

yy.toh,

I think before the "advanced questions" can be addressed, you should probably reference the schematic you are referring to, for instance is it this one:

http://www.circuitstoday.com/medium-power-fm-transmitter-circuit

Toward the end of your post you make reference to a "remote control", is this the actual purpose of the device?

I do not have much experience with RF Transmitters/Receivers personally, but many here do; if you want help you will need to give them a specific schematic to look at before asking questions about components and parameters. What little experience I have with RF circuits is that very small details can have a large impact on performance. Additionally, defining the specific purpose of the circuit will go a long way to getting good advise.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
