 Designing of AM Transmitter
Transmitter:
Transmitters are devices that are capable of transmitting audio as radio waves from an audio
device. There are two types of transmitters; FM & AM. We have many posts on FM transmitters,
so we decided to make one on AM transmitter.
AM Transmitter:
AM transmitter takes the audio signal as an input and delivers amplitude modulated wave to the
antenna as an output to be transmitted. The block diagram of AM transmitter is shown in the
following figure.

The working of AM transmitter

• The audio signal from the output of the microphone is sent to the pre-amplifier, which
boosts the level of the modulating signal.
• The RF oscillator generates the carrier signal.
• Both the modulating and the carrier signal is sent to AM modulator.
• Power amplifier is used to increase the power levels of AM wave. This wave is finally
passed to the antenna to be transmitted.
Characteristics:
• AM transmitters create radio waves using Amplitude Modulation (that’s why AM). That
means only the amplitude of the waves gets changed.
 • The frequency remains the same.
• In this case, the frequency of career frequencies falls within a predefined range called
Carrier Frequency. The carrier frequency changes from country to country
Circuit Diagram:

Notes:
• The transmission frequency can be adjusted using the variable capacitance C3.
• Use a 200uH inductor for the L1 in the tank circuit.
• Power the circuit using a 9V battery for noise free operation.
• Use a 30 cm long insulated Copper wire as the antenna.
• We have more Radio Transmitter Circuits that you may like to take a v
