FM WIRELESS TRANSMITTER
Abstract
An FM transmitter project typically involves building a device that can transmit
audio signals wirelessly through the air via FM radio waves. This can be a fun and
educational project for electronics enthusiasts, amateur radio operators, or anyone
interested in learning about wireless communication. The basic principle behind an
FM transmitter is to modulate the frequency of a radio wave to carry an audio
signal. The input audio signal is used to vary the frequency of a carrier wave, such
that the frequency of the wave changes in proportion to the amplitude of the audio
signal. This modulated radio wave can then be transmitted wirelessly through the
air and received by any FM radio within range. Overall, building an FM transmitter
can be a challenging and rewarding project that can help you learn about electronics
and wireless communication
Objectives
Overall Objective
1. To design and construct an FM transmitter with a range to be at least 30meters
2. To design and construct a circuit that will allow wireless audio transmission from any audio
device to an FM radio.
3. To Ensure that the transmitter is powered by a battery or a power outlet depending on the user's
preference
4. To design and construct a user-friendly interface that will allow the users to adjust the
frequency range of 104.5
5. To design and construct a circuit ensuring the transmitter operates within a power transmission
of 1 watt
Specific Objectives
To design and construct an FM transmitter .
Methodology
The FM transmitter will be based on direct frequency modulation technique using a
BC457 NPN transistor and some capacitors and resistors . The Transistor does the
main work of creating modulated frequency of electric signal which is gained from
electric mic as an analog signal . With the help of DC voltage source of high amount ,
it creates a signal of high frequency . In accordance of help , there are used of several
pf and uf capacitors and resistors . The capacitors help to store the voltage for a
several amount of time and resistors create hindrance according to necessary of the
project . Here 6 to 12 voltage of power source can be used for power of high
frequency which will work as a carry frequency . The hope is to have a perfect FM
transmitter of a range of 10m with a clear sound transmission . Here sound frequency
should be in the range of 89 to 90 Hz . Our expected frequency is 89.7. An antenna
will be used for higher output on emitter or collector in any side . And a coil is
necessary for the project which would be connected with the emitter side of the NPN
transistor .

Results
The FM transmitter operates on the principle of frequency modulation,
where the frequency of a carrier wave is varied in accordance with the
amplitude of an audio signal. This modulation process allows the
transmission of audio signals through radio waves. The key components
of an FM transmitter include an audio signal source, modulation
circuitry, a stable frequency oscillator, a voltage-controlled oscillator, an
amplitude limiter, an RF amplifier, and an antenna.
By modulating the carrier wave with the audio signal, the transmitter
generates radio waves that can be received by compatible receivers
within its transmission range

.
We can conclude that, FM is widely used because of several advantages of
frequency modulation. Earlier FM was not commonly used because of lack of
understand of how to benefit from FM and thus radio communications was
used. As soon as the benefits of FM come into existence, its use grew up. There
are many advantages and also disadvantages of FM. Inspire of having
disadvantages, it is suitable for many applications and also other modes may be
more suited to other applications. In order to enable the choice of the best
modulation format to be made, it is required to understand the disadvantages
and advantages of FM.
