RF amplification to power IR LED

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on amplifying radio waves from a receiver to power an infrared (IR) LED for remote control applications, specifically for air conditioning units. The user is considering charging a capacitor to store energy for the LED while maintaining binary transmission for effective IR communication. Participants suggest clarifying the source and power of the radio signal, as well as the distance of transmission, to provide a more tailored solution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RF amplification techniques
  • Knowledge of infrared LED operation and communication protocols
  • Familiarity with capacitor charging circuits
  • Basic principles of radio wave transmission and reception
NEXT STEPS
  • Research RF amplifier design for LED applications
  • Explore capacitor charging methods for energy storage
  • Learn about binary transmission in IR communication
  • Investigate Passive RFID tag technology for potential solutions
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, RF engineers, and hobbyists working on remote control systems or IR communication projects.

Hello, I am new here so my apologies if I have posted in the wrong place.

I am trying to amplify the radio waved I get from a receiver to power led that will ultimately be used as a remote for the AC.
I have contemplated "charging" a capacitor until it has enough power to power the led however because of the way IR remote communication works, I need to keep the binary transmission.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Perhaps have a look at Passive RFID tags. Not my field.
 
Hi snoopy
welcome to PF

where is the radio signal coming from and what power is that transmitter
Over what distance is the radio signal being transmitted ? what is the receiver ?

answer those questions and maybe we can help with a solution :smile:

cheers
Dave
