Description.

A simple telephone transmitter circuit that is ideal for transmitting the telephone conversation through small distances.The circuit is very simple and uses only few components.The entire circuit can be easily included in the telephone itself or in the junction box.The circuit is powered from the telephone line itself.

The transistor Q2 is wired as a a Colpitts oscillator to produce oscillations in the FM transmission band.The audio signal from the telephone line is coupled to the the base of Q2 to obtain the frequency modulation.The LED D1 acts as a power on indicator.

Notes.

  • Any radio frequency  PNP transistor like A933   can be used for Q2.
  • For L1 make  8 turns of  0 .6mm dia enameled copper wire  on a 3.6mm dia steel bolt.
  • For antenna use a 15cm long 0.6 mm dia copper wire.

  1. This is rubbish

    There is no In1 and In2 and Out1 and Out2 on a telephone line.
    There are ONLY TWO WIRES, NOT FOUR!
    Not even three.

    Hi Elgardo Disconnect your incomming line to your telephone. connect Out 1 & 2 to your telephone. connect the incomming line to In 1 & 2.

    Hi Bryce the signal available on the telephone cable will be transmitted. (The coversation – signal from both the caller and called ones mic will be transmitted)

    Hi Bryce In is to be connected to telephone line and out to the telephone instrument.
    Range will be around 100feet.

    Good post, I like your writing style! I’ve added https://circuitstoday.com/ to my feed reader, and will be reading your posts from now on. Just a quick question – did you design your header image yourself, or have it done professionally? If you had it done by a professional, who was it?
