author of numerous articles and books, including Video Scrambling and Descrambling, published by Newnes.
Description
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.
Audience
Hobbyists, amateur radio operators
