Description.
With this compact FM adaptor circuit plugged into the audio out of your cassete player or i Pod out put,you can listen your favorite music on your car stereo.This circuit is very useful if your car stereo doesnot have an auxillary in socket.The circuit is nothing buy an short range FM transimitter.
The FM transmitter circuit is based on low power NPN transistor 2N2222.The tank circuit consisting of L1 & C1 producess the necessary oscillations at the collector of Q1.The capacitance C4 , resistance R3 & R4 performs the function of mixing the stereo out put from theaudio player or i-Pod.The emitter resistance R2 provides sufficient stability to the circuit.It also limits the collector current to increse the battery life.
Circuit diagram with Parts list.
Notes.
- Use a 28SWG , 10 cm insulated copper wire as antenna.
- For L1.make 8 turns of 20 SWG insulated copper wire on a 5mm dia plastic former.
- Power the circuit from a 3V battery.
- Assemble the circuit on a good quality PCB or common board.
- C1 can be a 50pF trimmer.

Is all these capacitor use in this are ceramic ?
Yes all are ceramic capacitors. Variable capacitor is mica dielectric preset capacitor.
Hi!
Is this working on FM or AM modulation? I suppose AM.
What s the frequency? Built it but can find it on the radio..
This a very good idea but at what frequency. i tried it but it overrides the National radio(MBC1). thanks
peter from malawi
really nice idea
Im thinking of adapting this into a wireless stereo transmitter for my computer and a receiver for some headphones
Voila – Wireless Headset for under $40
hi i realy like this idea. but i wonder what frequency the transmitter is broadcasting on, and how can i regulate the frequency so i dont interfere with other radio stations nearby. thanks
Thanks for this circuit, but i want to know how to control the carrier frequency in order not to interfere with any radio station?
Thank you in advance.
