Active AM Radio Antenna Amplifier Preamplifier Circuit

Image
Active AM Radio Antenna Amplifier / Preamplifier Circuit The antenna amplifier circuit has a part count of about 40, using the following active parts: 2 NPN transistors (BC548's), 1 MOSFET (BF981), 2 Varicap diodes (KV1235), as well as a 6v2 zener-diode. there is and a 330uH (micro Henry) inductor / coil, which can be modified for operation on other frequency bands. Designed to work with a telescopic whip antenna, the amplifier circuit operates in the typical AM / MediumWave band of 550 - 1650 kHz (kilohertz), with a power requirement of 12 Volts DC. The circuit also has a gain control feature, so weather signals can be amplifier more, if need be. This amplification alteration is provided via, RV1 The amplifier circuit's output impedance is 50 Ohms, which is the standard for all of radio receivers, so it ought to work well along with your AM receiver. Notes This circuit is designed to amplify the input from a telescopic whip antenna. The preamplifier is designed to cover t...

How to Capture the Power of the environment by using an antenna

Around us will be a large amount of energy scattered in space, are the RF waves emitted by TV channels, radios, cell phones, computers, etc.. What most people do not know is that we can capture the scattered energy and transform into electricity.  To capture any wave, we have to have a coil in the same resonant frequency, we can also simply capture radio signals by a common antenna and light an LED if we get a strong signal.Setup is simple. You will need an antenna too high, most likely on roof or on top of a mast and make sure that isolated and fixed. Then connect the enameled copper wire antenna and take it to the circuit.
