Double-Sideband Suppressed-Carrier (DSB-SC) Modulator

When we modulate a carrier signal with amplitude modulation, there will be four frequency components as the result. The first is the modulating signal itself, the second is the frequency carrier, the the latest two are the difference and the sum of the carrier and the modulating signal.  The spectrum of these frequencies can be seen using frequency analyzer.  In […]

Monitoring Off-Air Condition

The circuit of off-air monitor for SSB transmitter can be built by using combination of detector product with the crystal oscillator. This circuit is used for testing the audio at one point within band. The quality of audio will still constant, if loading and tuning of SSB transmitter are same over rest of band. The LC circuit will resonated to […]

2 Transistors Mini MW Transmitter

This is a Mini MW (Medium Wave) Transmitter circuit. This circuit consist of combination of transistors SA103 and SA101. Those transistors is used as oscillator and modulation signal amplifier. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The transistor is of germanium type, but I think you can replace it with silicon type from the high frequency one. The inductors […]

Small AM Transmitter Circuit: Using Logic Gates!

For you who has failed to build  radio transmitters, this circuit worth a try. This circuit uses 74HC14 hex Schmidt trigger as the oscillator, and you can choose to use capacitor for low cost goal or quartz  crystal for better stability. For quartz crystal, you can choose any frequency between 00.7-1.6MHz, but around 1.6MHz is recommended since it need shorter […]
