The proposed long range transmitter circuit really is very steady, harmonic free design which you can use with standard fm frequencies between 88 and 108 MHz.
Technical Specifications of the Transmitter
This will likely encompass 5km spectrum (long range). It includes an extremely consistent oscillator for the reason that you employ LM7809 stabilizer that is a 9V stabilized power source for T1 transistor and for frequency realignment that may be reached by means of the 10K linear potentiometer.
The output strength of this long range rf transmitter is approximately 1W however may be more significant should you use transistors like KT920A, BLY8, 2SC1970, 2SC1971…
Transistor T1 is employed as an oscillator stage to present a small power steady frequency. To fine-tune the freq. apply the 10k linear potentiometer this way: should you moderate, in the direction of ground, the freq. would probably decrease but when you fine-tune it in direction of + it would climb.
Essentially the potentiometer is needed just as a flexible power source for the a pair of BB139 varicap diodes.
Both of these diodes function as a changeable capacitor whilst you regulate the pot. By tweaking the diode capacitance the L1 + diodes circuit renders a resonance circuit for T1.
Feel free to employ transistors similar to BF199, BF214 however be careful not to use BCs. At this point you don’t receive yet the long range fm wireless transmitter due to the fact that the electric power is fairly reduced, a maximum of 0.5 mW.
How it Works
The proposed transmitter circuit works in the following manner:
Always encase the oscillator stage in a metal guard to avoid parasite frequencies destabilizing the oscillating stage.
Transistors T2 and T3 functions as a buffer stage, T2 as a voltage amplifier and T3 as a current amp.
This buffer stage is vital for freq stabilization simply because is a tampon circuit between the oscillator and the preamp and final amplifier. It happens to be renowned that bad transmitter layouts normally change freq. whenever you alter the finalized stage.
Using this T2, T3 stage this won’t occur again!
T4 is a preamplifier stage and is employed as a voltage power rf amplifier which enables it to produce adequate power to the ending T5 transistor stage.
As is demonstrated T4 carries a capacitor trimmer in its collector, this is definitely accustomed to render a resonance circuit designed to drive T4 to promote more advantageous situations and do away with those undesirable harmonics.
L2 and L3 coils has to be at 90 degrees perspective one to another, this is to prevent frequency and parasite coupling.
The concluding stage of the long range rf transmitter is equipped with any rf power transistor containing no less than one watt production power.
Utilize transistors like 2N3866, 2N3553, KT920A, 2N3375, 2SC1970 or 2SC1971 should you wish to produce a professional fm transmitter with ample power to take care of an extended spectrum zone. Should you use 2N2219 you will definitely get a maximum of 400mW.
Make use of an effective heatsink for the T5 transistor because it becomes slightly warm. Make use of a reliable 12V/1Amp balanced supply of power.
How to Set-up the Transmitter
Begin by building the oscillator stage, solder a tiny wire to T1 10pF capacitor out and hearing a fm radio, tweak the 10k pot until it is possible to “hear” a blank disturbances or maybe if you connect an music base you could listen to the melodies.
With a 70cm cord it is possible to take care of a 2 – 3 meter region simply with the oscillator stage.
Next carry on and construct the remaining of the rf transmitter, utilize correct shielding as suggested in the above explanation.
As soon as you have completed the transmitter design, hook up the antenna or more effectively a 50 or 75 Ω resistive load and make use of this as a rf probe, feel free to use 1N4148 diode in place of the probe diode.
Fine-tune yet again the 10k pot to favored freq. thereafter go to T4 stage and scale down the initial collector trimmer for highest voltage signal on the multimeter.
After that carry on with the subsequent trimmer and so forth. After that get back on the very first trimmer and readjust yet again until you receive the maximum voltage on the multimeter.
For one watt rf power you could possibly ascertain a twelve to sixteen Voltage. The method is P (in watt) is equivalent to U2 / Z, wherein Z is 150 for 75Ω resistor or 100 for 50Ω resistor, nevertheless one should keep in mind that the proper rf power is lesser.
After those modification, in case things are heading nicely hook up the antenna, keep on employing the rf probe, readjust once more all of the the trimmers right from T3.
Guarantee you don’t have harmonics, verify the TV and radio set to determine if there exists fluctuations on the band. Verify this in an alternative area, a long way away from the fm transmitter or antenna.
The unit is all set up to be used for exchanging music, talks, chats across the suggested range and bands.

Feedback from Mr. Himzo (a dedicated follower of this website)
Hello Swagatam,
I have few questions about your long range fm transmitter.
Firstly about the shielding, what is the most simplest solution to avoid those "parasite frequencies"?
Secondly, what means those 1nF capacitors at the top? Can they be simple in parallel connection or they need to be separated to every transistor like in scheme?
Thirdly, I sent you a photo of transmitter, I didn't turn on amplifier part because my heatsink is coming. Where can I put antenna for testing without amplifier (T5 stage)?
And lastly, how can I modulate those trimmers if I dont have plastic screwdrivers?
Thank you very very much, this is great project.
Your fan, Himzo.
Solving the Circuit Problem
Hello Himzo,
the simplest and the only way to shield the various sensitive stages is by using metal walls between the stages...
the 1nF capacitors should be positioned exactly where these are indicated in the diagram.... the picture which you have shown will never work... transmitter circuits require extreme care as far as their construction and positioning of the components are concerned.
You can never build a long range transmitter successfully on a breadboard, you will have to do it on a well designed PCB which should have a grounded track base layout encompassing all the thinner tracks, only then you can expect the transmitter to work...that too after careful optimization of the trimmers and by employing a compatible antenna.

Yasifpeerally says
I have built the transmitter years ago but with my own modification to get the range I wanted.
Tim says
Hello Mr. Swagatam
I am building this circuit for a school project. Is there any way You could have a quick look at the PCB i produced? And I don’t exactly know where to put my antenna after. Thanks for your work and have a nice day.
Best, Tim
Swagatam says
Hello Mr.Tim,
This project is not a school project and will require a high degree of expertise in the Rf field to successfully build it. So please proceed with caution.
The antenna connector is shown at extreme right across the “output” points
Iman says
Hi Swagatam.
Thanks for the work on this project.
Can we make this transmitter for 5 Watts by simply changing the transistor?
And if we can, what part number do you suggest?
Regards.
Swagatam says
Thanks Imran, that may be possible since the circuit has a separate driver stage. You can search online for a high power RF transistor, you might get some clue
Engr Bashir says

Altera says
please,
apart from cabling is there any other way one could send video and audio signal up to a mile,if it requires any form of coding,can it be actualise,lf yes please,circuit diagrams.
thanks
Swagatam says
I don’t know about video but audio can be sent through a transmitter above 1 km through a simple circuit, but might require special optimization and a special antenna for efficient transmission.
Farid Ahmed Babar says
Thanks Mr Swagtam
I hope you will find solution..i believe in you
Abdulalim Balarabe says
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. i am interested in the RF section of your design. ie the relationship between T5, L4, L5 and the two trimmers. Can you please shade some light on what is going on in that section. the closes idea i have is the working of a colpitt oscillator. The combination of the inductor L5 and the two trimmer capacitor has left me in the dark. I think L4 is a radio frequency chock. what is the power at the base of T5? Thanks
Swagatam says
Thanks Abdul, They basically act like an LC tank circuit which resonates with the frequency of T4 stage and concentrates it many folds so that it gets amplified enough for the long distance transmission. Yes L4 is the choke, and L5 is the tank coil
venkatesh Anaparthi says
hi Swagatam ,
could you able share your email id , i required 8 kilometers range transmitter and receiver ckt to trip my load my ELECTRICITY BOARD SUPPLY GOES off when DG is running . Here the constraints we are unable to lay the interlocking cable so we are going for wire less , if any circuit is there kindly suggest i will develop the same
Swagatam says
Hi Venkatesh,
I have a 27MHz long range circuit designed by elektor electronics, but it can be extremely difficult to make and test such circuits for any newcomer. I would suggest you to buy one instead. Or you can use a GSM based design such as this:

Melvin says
Hi sir 1) I would like to know whats the use of those variable capacitors here. I dont know how to use it
2) What is shielding. What is its use
3) Which component is 100/0.5w
4) 10uf capacitor is of how many volts
5) Why 2 dotted lines in circuit which is connected to ground
6) Why T5 is based on watts and what is the difference between 1w and 2w output
Kindly please reply to me at mevivrg01@gmail.com
Swagatam says
Hi Melvin, here are the answers:
1)Those are called trimmers, it is for optimizing the frequency and power output from the transmitter to maximum.
2) Shielding refers to adding metal partitions between the various stages of the transmitter so that processed signals across these stages do not interfere with each other and reduce efficiency, the metal can be preferably copper so that it can be fixed with the PCB by soldering.
3)100/0.5W = 100 ohm 1/2 watt resistor
4) 10uF/25V
5) The shield partitions explained above must be aligned across these shown dotted lines such that they stand like walls on these dotted lines…the height of these copper shield plates could be 2 cm and thickness could be 1mm.
6) T5 handles the power stage of the transmitter, and their watt rating indicate how much power each of these variants can handle and produce at the output
Melvin says
Hi swag its me again Melvin. Thanks for your reply but I’m a little bit confused of that first answer. So how to use those trimmers.
Swagatam says
Hi Melvin, please read the comments, I have answered it in one of the comment replies.
Melvin says
Thanks swag
varun says
I have recently build lots of low power fm transmitter all claiming about 1km range but at most I could get 500mts only. I am not able to tune the circuit meaning to say that the oscillator and the tank circuit are not at same frequency and because of that I am getting signal at many places on fm band ie harmonics . how to tune such transmitter pls help. like in this you have got 4 trimmer capacitor how to tune them? which one should I tune first.pls help
Swagatam says
disconnect the last T5 stage which has the antenna, and optimize the two trimmers to get maximum silence (null point) in the FM radio positioned at about 10 meters away, once this is achieved connect the T5 back and repeat the process without an antenna at a greater distance away from the transmitter.

No I don't think so because BF99 is rated to operate with much higher frequencies than the mentioned ones…
habtamu demeke says
i can't find the BB139 varactor diode, what other option can i use?
Swagatam says
any other equivalent will do….you will have to search for it.
habtamu demeke says
I almost got all the components except the component between
T4 and T5 labeled as 100/0.5w,connected with 10 micro farad, i don't know it's name and purpose.
can you tell me about the antenna and the pcb choice, please?
it will be nice if you put the video of how to construct.
Swagatam says
it's a resistor, a 100 ohm, 1/2 watt
please remember that RF circuits are never easy, and it must be only tried if you are well versed with RF transmitter concepts or under the supervision of an expert in the relevant field
initially you can try a 12 inch flexible wire as the antenna, if everything goes well then you can replace it with a yagi type antenna
video is not possible sorry

how can i get the complete write up for this particular fm transmitter circuit,i was asked to construct it but am through with the construction remaining the write up need some help from you
ප්රේමෙ says
Thanks a lot for replying to all the queries Swagatam,
Can you mention the Inductance values of the coils used, so that I can get an idea whether the coil is woven correct.
Swagatam says
you are welcome!
RF Transmitter coils normally are not specified with inductance values because the values can be so less that your meter won't have the range to measure them…so the physical specs are the one that you'll have to rely on.
Swagatam says
Hi Raj,
yes it can be done…it is possible

Moustafa Farouk says
what is 100/05w in the second stage? is it a resistor? and 10uf in the same stage ? is it something for a surface mount? because i'm working on a through hole board so what is its alternative?
Swagatam says
100/0.5W is obviously a resistor and 10uF is after this resistor
surface mount is not compulsory but will work better…make sure the PCB is maximum area merged with the negative line.
Unknown says
excuse me what is the audio and what is the output? is it microphone or aux for audio and antenna for output? and where is the vcc?
Swagatam says
audio is the input frequency which needs to be wirelessly transmitted to the other end and the output where the antenna is supposed to be terminated

Adam Kabir Umar says
Engineer, I encountered a problem with the FM transmitter circuit. This was because of my system's resolution that I cannot understand the value of the upper resistor connected to collector of T1. It looks like 10k, 15k or 18K. Please, make it more clearer specifically.
Swagatam says
Adam, click on the diagram to enlarge it, and you'll be able to see everything distinctly….T1 collector resistor is a 330 ohm resistor…how do you see it as 15k, or 18K??
Adam Kabir Umar says
Engineer, I want to know the value of the upper resistor connected to the collector of T1. It is not clear to me. Thanks.
Swagatam says
It's 330 ohms
Adam Kabir Umar says
Engineer Swagatam, I wanted to know what type of microphone should be used alongside this FM transmitter. Thanks for attending my requests.
Swagatam says
Hi Adam, you can use any electret condenser mic for the shown circuit
Adam Kabir Umar says
Good day Engr swagatam.
I dad not seen the position of + line of my power supply.
Swagatam says
Good day Adam,
The L4 upper line is where a positive 12V needs to be applied.
Adam Kabir Umar says
L4 has two terminals, one is connected with T5 and the other terminal is connected to the 100 ohms resistor. So i should applied my 12v to the terminal that is connecetd with 100 ohms resistor?
Secondly, i am not understand the symbol of 10 uF capacitor that connected with 100 ohms resistor
Swagatam says
12V supply will go to the 100 ohm and L4 junction line.
the 10uF capacitor shows one terminal connected to earth, that's the negative terminal of the capacitor, the lower one, the upper one is connected with the positive line.
Adam Kabir Umar says
Sir, the normal variable capacitor has three terminals, so how can i connect the variable capacitors in this circuit sence the circuit diagram indicates only two terminals.
Secondly, i need more explanation about varicap diodes.
Thanks for this greatful work
Swagatam says
for the variable capacitor you can use the center terminal and any one of the other two terminals, the remaining one can be left unused.
varicap diodes change and adjust their capacitance value in response to the varying amplitude of the input frequency providing the most optimal input feed for the preamplifier stage
john ocharive says
thanks for your respond but I actually need a seperate receiver circuit instead of the fm radio reciever seperatly. what I actually want to do is incorporate the receiver into the transmitter system as a device for distance learning.
Swagatam says
For converting the above design into a long range walkie talkie you can make a small FM radio and use it with the above transmitter circuit but I am not sure how the units would interact while operating on different frequencies..
john ocharive says
I love this design I have made it but not tested yet because I need a receiver that can work for it. please post one to me please its urgent. because this is my final school project.
and how can I make another person talk back to the receiver from another transmitter.

Hi Amol, by continuous signal do you mean a blank signal which will produce a null spot in the receiver? It can be done by not connecting the input to any kind of signal source. keep the input connected to ground and tune the transmitter to get the required null spot in the receiver.
Amol Borkar says
Thanks for the reply Swagatam, acctully i'm trying to make a reciever that collects signal from your transmitter and sends signal or current to base of a transistor and another circuit is connected to emitter and collector of that transistor, so when base gets current the another circuit gets complete.Please he me to make the reciver circuit or is there a better way of doing it.
Swagatam says
Hi Amol,
I have discussed one similar application in the following article, you can refer to it:
https://www.homemade-circuits.com/2011/12/how-to-make-fm-remote-control-using-fm.html
Swagatam says
the better way is to use the profesional RF modules with encoder decoder chips, but those are within 100 mters range
Amol Borkar says
Thanks Swagatam, firstly my requirement of range is minimum 1 km as it is a aeroplane and also using the professional RF modules with encoder decoder chips need to be programmed and the will affect my budget the engine is ready but I need something to control the flaps.Can you suggest another way. I think that the same thing(Transistor part of my reply) can be achieved with AM technology I have receiver design but not sure that it will work.Please suggest me a AM transmitter design
Swagatam says
Hi Amol,
sorry, I don't have an AM transmitter design with me.
Moreover when it's an airplane that you want to control, only FM technology would suit better because AM could be inaccurate and include disturbances in the signal.
RF modules does not require programming, they can be procured readymade but I am not sure about their maximum range, I have never seen a 1km RF remote control device in the market.

Dear Swagatam,
I would like to have a receiver for this transmitter for switching purpose, is it possible and logical??
or you advice me to better look for another kind of transmitter. Clarify to me please.
Regards.

With yooir permission i can commercialise the circuit.
Swagatam says
permission granted:) …anyway it's not my design.
BASHA says
ok thanq sir
BASHA says
ok thanq sir iam intrest long range fm transmitar circuit i made it ,so this circuit meterial components and cabinet your buying and send coriear my adress pleese sir ,this circuit price telme i paying your account pleese telme your nomber
Swagatam says
Hello Basha, I don't have a PCB for this design, and also I cannot find the transistors in my local shops, so I am also having difficulty in making this unit, in future if I am able to arrange all these I would surely do it for you.
BASHA says
hello sir iwant this fm transmitar sir so you made this circuit and send me my adress sir plees thanq this product money details send me my mail askmbasha30@gmail.com
Swagatam says
I am sorry Basha, it wouldn't be possible for me due to work load.
mahesh kunwar says
have you test this circuit and it is necessary to have the diameter?
Swagatam says
Not tested, yes diameter is critical
Swagatam says
In that case you can feed the transmitter audio output to the input of any good 10km range transmitter circuit, the audio then would be transmitted across the specified distance.
Swagatam says
what type of receiver is used for receiving the signals, is it an ordinary FM radio?
shadrach says
can you give wifi signal transmitter and receiver circuit diagram for long range like 5 km to 10 km
Swagatam says
I don't have any idea regarding wi-fi transmission.
shadrach says
can i use this circuit for transmit my wifi signal within range 5 km ?
do you have any other circuit for transfer/receiver wifi signal in long range ?
Swagatam says
No, that won't be feasible because wi-fi signals are not RF based and will require different type of encoding/decoding process.
Prawin says
Bf199 transitor equivalent
Bf494???…
Swagatam says
yes, will do!
