Circuit Transmission AM (Opamp)

This circuit uses an LT1190, LT1007, and an LT1194 to form a AM radio transmitter. The carrier is generated by A1, set up as a quartz stabilized oscillator. A1's output feeds A2, functioning as a modulated RF power output stage. A2's input signal range is restricted by the bias applied to offset pins 1 and 8. A3, a microphone amplifier, supplies bias to these pins, resulting in an amplitude modulated RF carrier at A2's output. The DC term summed with the microphone biases A3's output to the appropriate level for good quality modulation characteristics. Calibration of this circuit involves trimming the 50 ohm potentiometer in the oscillator for a stable 1Vp-p 1MHz A1 output. The construction and operation of this apparatus may require Federal Communications Commission review and/or licensing.

Check battery voltage range 12 V.


In the circuit below, a quad voltage comparator (LM339) is used as a simple bar graph meter to indicate the charge condition of a 12 volt, lead acid battery. A 5 volt reference voltage is connected to each of the (+) inputs of the four comparators and the (-) inputs are connected to successive points along a voltage divider. The LEDs will illuminate when the voltage at the negative (-) input exceeds the reference voltage. Calibration can be done by adjusting the 2K potentiometer so that all four LEDs illuminate when the battery voltage is 12.7 volts, indicating full charge with no load on the battery. At 11.7 volts, the LEDs should be off indicating a dead battery. Each LED represents an approximate 25% change in charge condition or 300 millivolts, so that 3 LEDs indicate 75%, 2 LEDs indicate 50%, etc. The actual voltages will depend on temperature conditions and battery type, wet cell, gel cell etc. Additional information on battery maintenance can be found at:
