Building a Super Simple AM Radio Transmitter & Receiver! Keeping Wireless Audio Communication easy!

[@BlankBrain]

When I was in high school, I worked in an engineering lab. One of the engineers sometimes liked to listen to country music. Another engineer didn't want to hear it. He stuck an antenna wire on an RF signal generator, tuned it to the radio station frequency, and slowly turned up the amplitude. This was done stealthily, of course, so the other engineer had no suspicion. The music just faded away.

[@ovalteen4404]

The "easiest" AM transmitter would be to feed both the oscillator and the audio through capacitors, connect the output of both capacitors together, and send it through a common-collector amplifier with no bias voltage on the base. The effect is a carrier signal that changes amplitude based on the audio strength.

I'll take a look at this video later, but lemme say thank you so much for brinign back life into such an old topic. Back in school in 2016 i successfully but an AM transmitter only using 2n3904 Transistors (Hartley Oscillator), and i wanted to build the receiver to go along with it, but none of my receivers ever worked. I've tried SO many configurations without "cheating" or using too complext ics, i wanted it to be a receiver using NPN transistors too, but the main issue is idk how to properly measure or deduce why my circuits never worked. Wanna say thanks again, i feel like there's hope for my project again. If yall are interested i can get the schematic of the transimtter that worked at lest. Thanks @GreatScott!

[@Kevin-jz9bg]

hey i had the same issue, it's real frustrating maybe try this circuit www.talkingelectronics.com/projects/TheTransistorAmplifier/images/Fig71bd.gif you don't need the transformer, just connecting the speaker from 3v to the collector of the last npn transistor works fine. And make sure to put >22uF decoupling capacitor across the supply so there's no unwanted noise. 2n3904 and 2n3906 transistors have worked fine for me. Only problem is that the output sound is really small. Maybe you can replace the speaker with like a low value resistor and then add a class A amp after the last stage. (don't tinker with the other stages, doesn't make the sound louder, i tried yesterday) hope it helps :)

​@@Kevin-jz9bg Thank you for the reply! it REALLY means alot to hear that there are others that tinker/deal with this kinda stuff given im a noob. I'll definitely test this.

Hi, Bro! I saw a random guy the other day on KZbin, and his process is intuitive. 1. He hand-sketched on the board. 2. Made appropriate drills. 3. Then he laid very very thin wire along his sketch. Then, he put that whole PCB carefully on a surface which he can increase the temperature (he used an iron box). Gradually as temperature increased, wires began to melt and the wiring thing was done. That was cool.

Your unmodulated AM signal should only be 1/2 of max amplitude, or 1/4 of max power. Much better sound quality !

I know this is very old now by KZbin standards, but i built a similar deal as this with a car battery and a 1k pot, a 100uF cap and a 10k pot . it works very well and my sdr picks it up all over the dial. you leave the 10k pot at full and tune the 1k pot to the desired frequency. I ordered the circuit you suggested anyway and cant wait to start using it instead.

[@jercos]

AM is also a fun way to mess with ultrasonics... if you have a 96kHz sampling PC sound card, it can directly output ~30-40kHz narrowband signals to drive a low-cost ultrasonic emitter. The low frequency compared to RF makes a demodulator circuit simple. This even works with no circuitry in the transmitter at all, some early TV remotes used an ultrasonic tuning fork struck by a hammer to send button presses without batteries.

Actually, running that 555 output into a tank circuit (probably with a buffer amp) to make it resemble a sine wave and modulating the power supply voltage with the audio would work pretty well.

[@antexterminator9373]

I remember once years ago I built some type of radio/microwave receiver. It consisted of three quadruple bowtie antennas tuned for around 2GHz and three germanium diodes to rectify the received energy to a signal. I then connected that to two integrated circuits operational amplifiers LM358 (cascading operational amplifier with 22KHz bandwidth) if I remember correct. And that was supplied by a bipolar voltage of +/- 1.5v. 2 batteries. The aim of that receiver was to receive any kind of radio and long microwaves. And it did work. I could catch FM signals, mains 50Hz distortions and the microwaves from the wifi. It was heard like ticks in my soviet era 150 ohm headphone. The receiver contained NO coil.

Install a coax cable with a sma connector so you can improve the antenna.

In spite of what someone else posted earlier, you can operate an unlicensed AM radio broadcast station in North America by an agreement made between Canada, U.S., and Mexico as follows: Unlicensed broadcasting - 100 mW DC input to final amplifier with a 3-meter maximum length radiator, no license needed, may be measured at edge of campus for school stations.

[@power-max]

5:12 You could probably get away with frequency modulation with the 555 and the radio if you added a high Q LC series resonant circuit to the 555 in series with a proper length tuned antenna. The resonator resonates when the 555 drives it near resonance but increases in impedance as it drifts away. Duty cycle modulation would also work as it a duty cycle further from 50% will have less power in the fundamental and more power in the harmonics that get filtered out.

[@MarimeGui]

Thinking quickly, GreatScott constructs a homemade AM radio transmitter, using only some solder, a microphone, and a 555 timer.

You use 2 transistors for the transmitter! One for rf and the for signal that controls the current off the rf transistor emitter. The receiver do not need any but you can use a transistor that you could use as a volume control. And it will be a lot clearer!

In the U.S. (no idea in other parts of the world, but probably similar) without an F.C.C. class 'C' license (now known as a "technician class"), you can not operate a radio transmitter, A.M. or F.M. with a total broadcast output of greater than 20 watts or a transmission range of greater than 20 miles. This is *only* when using a transmitter whose design and commercial manufacture have been pre-approved by the F.C.C. In the U.S. this is from the regulation congress passed in 1987 that allows you to use your citizens band radio, and radio controlled models and toys without an F.C.C. class 'C' license. An addition was added to that regulation in 1995 to include the unlicensed use of your cell phone (your cell phone is just an F.M. radio transmitter and receiver). A non approved transmitter such as a hobby built unit can not exceed 2 watts total RMS at the antenna, or about a 500 yard broadcast radius unless the actual transmitter part of the circuit is a sealed unit with F.C.C. pre-approval. Whether or not some F.C.C. official is hiding in the woods to catch you broadcasting at 5 watts, I leave to your imagination. As for using a square wave generator (555 timer IC) as a broadcast Carrier Wave, all you need to do is scope the CW signal at the RX antenna to see why it's a crappy idea. You may be "sending" a square wave, but the receiver antenna sees a spikey, bipolar, saw tooth (more like an inverted shark's fin) wave form. This make's it extremely difficult to filter out the overtones and sub harmonics caused by the spikes.

You can't reach 100MHz regular broadcst frequency with 555 but you can easely produce phase modulation with it, that can be demodulated by a FM receiver. If you buy an old army wolky-talky (various models have various bands but in general they start at around 30MHz to around 55MHz-60MHz and small ones (several kilograms that is, sized as a small netbook with 3 times its thikness) are ususaly from around 40MHz to 47MHz) and find 555 variation that can reach 40MHz (both are accessible) you can try it.
