Rudolf Graf and William Sheets have written a book containing
twenty low-power (LP) transmitter projects, perfect for the
electronics hobbyist and radio experimenter. Now that the FCC has
changed its regulations about "pirate" transmissions, more and more
people are setting up radio and video stations for broadcast from
their homes. Build Your Own Low-Power Transmitters addresses
applications for hobbyist broadcasting of AM, SSB, TV, FM Stereo
and NBFM VHF-UHF signals with equipment the reader can build
himself for thousands of dollars less than similar equipment sold
on the retail market. The authors also fully explore the legal
limits and ramifications of using the equipment as well as how to
get the best performance for optimum range. The key advantage is
referencing a low-cost source for all needed parts, including the
printed circuit board, as well as the kit.
Projects in the book include: LP FM stereo transmitter;
digitally synthesized PLL FM stereo transmitter; LP AM transmitter
for 150-1710 KHz; radio control transmitter/receiver; carrier
current transmitter and AM and FM receivers; LP VHF one-way and
two-way audio links; 1-watt 40-meter CW transmitter for ham radio
use; SSB LP transmitter for 10-meter ham radio use; 2-meter VHF FM
ham radio transmitter; FM video link for 900 MHz NTSC/PAL
operation; 2-watt TV transmitters for 440, 900 and 1300 MHz amateur
TV NTSC/PAL transmissions; linear amplifier for 440MHz, 10-15watt
NTSC/PAL operation; Downconverters for 440, 900 and 1300 MHz with
VHF channel 3 or 4 output; TV video receiving systems and AM-FM IF
systems; LP video link for UHF channels 14-18; 1-watt CW beacon
transmitter for Part 15 LF radio experimentation; CW identifier for
transmitters; test equipment projects for LP transmitters; as well
as an RF power meter and modulation monitor.
Complete source information will be included to help each reader
find the kits and parts they need to build these fascinating
projects.
Unique among comparable project books, this one offers a low-cost
source for all parts, including the printed circuit board. This
allows immediate completion without needing to search for difficult
to find parts
