Am transistor radio circuit diagram. In previous article about how to make a radio we have discussed a simple crystal radio receiver circuit. All general purpose transistors should work in this circuit you can use bc549 transistors for this circuit. Last updated on march 25 2020 by swagatam 73 comments. I am using the mpsa13 transistor for this design because internally it is a darlington and consequently has very high gain.
The following circuit was taken from an old electronic book it is indeed a very nice little two transistor radio receiver circuit which utilizes very few components yet is able to produce output over a loudspeaker and not just over headphones. The schematic mentioned here is also a simple am radio circuit but it is not using a crystal it is using high gain preamplifier stage of transistor bc 549. This is the circuit diagram of mini am radio receiver. As can be seen in the given circuit diagram the.
Here is the circuit diagram of a simple radio that uses one transistor and few other passive componentsthe c6 and l1 forms a tank circuit which picks up the signal from your desired radio stationdiode d1 capacitor c2 and resistor r1 does the detection of the picked signalthe detected signal is coupled to the base of q1 through capacitor c3the q1 gives. First mass produced transistor radio 1954. It uses only 2 transistors and few passive components which makes is very easy to be constructed. This two transistor am radio circuit is also called mini radio.
The circuit is using only few. Simplest am radio circuit. This is a very simple am radio circuit using only two transistors. The circuit in the figure below is an integrated circuit am radio containing all the active radio frequency circuitry within a single ic.
This three transistor am radio circuit is a clean and minimalistic design and it faithfully amplifies radio signals so that you can hear them through a loudspeaker. It is similar in principle to the zn414 radio. The demodulated signal will be available at the base of q1this audio signal is coupled to the base of q2 for further amplification. For making 200uh coil take a 26 enameled copper wire.
Although the circuit is very simple it functions very well without external antenna or ground connection. Transistor q1 does the job of demodulation. The prototype construction was on a breadboard and it worked. Components to make a good quality am receiver.
For more crystal radio circuits simple one transistor radios and more advanced low transistor count radios. The circuit use a compact three transistor regenerative receiver with fixed feedback.
