DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF 6-WATTFM TRANSMITTER WITH AFC INCORPORATED

Abstract

This project report is concern with the design and construction of an FM radio transmitter, that is capable of transmitting signal up to a distance of 300 meters. The project is realised using integrated circuit [IC] at different stages of the transmitter such as the power supply unit, Voltage amplification stage, filtering stage e. t.C for reduction in size [compactness] and yet better results at the outputs of the respective stages and consequently at the final stage of the transmitter. Also Signal stability is achievcd through the used of an external compensating capacitor. It comprises of four chapters. Chapter One, contains the Introduction, in which many important terms were defined, different kinds of signal that can be transmitted were also discussed. The types of transmitter available were as well stated. Then followed by the method adopted in the design, and lastly the review of relevant literatures. Chapter Two ,deals with the design and calculation of the value of the components used for the construction work. Chapter Three on the other hand, contains all the details, of how the construction work was carried out, the difficulties encounl<::red, and how such difficulties were later tackled. The last Chapter, comprises of 11 as well as the References.
