Veronica 1W FM Transmitter
Veronica 1W FM transmitter is an easy to build transmitter.
Veronica is also known for frequency stability, clean FM signal and uses
no integrated circuit. The Veronica oscillator is actually formed from 2
oscillators which operates somewhere around 50 MHz in anti phase and
the 2 signals are combined to form 100MHz FM radio signal. This kind of
circuit design is stable and is amplified up to 1W by 2n4427 transistor.
Veronica transmitter is equipped with a mini-mixer and so you may
forget an external mixer. This consist from T1 transistor which
amplifies the microphone signal before it is combined with CD player
audio or PC signal. R1 and R2 are potentiometers (variable resistors)
used to adjust the audio level. The component between R8 and C21
represents the oscillator which generates radio signal. D1 is a varicap
diode (like a variable capacitor or trimmer) controlled by audio signal.
C12, C13 and L1 determines the frequency.
