Why build a TV transmitter • Want to have RF design experience • Home security • Entertainment
Side View of Transmitter Video Input RF Oscillator RF Amplifier To Antenna Video gain Modulator Audio Input Subcarrier Oscillator & FM Modulator
Colpitts Oscillator Frequency controlled by C1,C2, and L1
Hartley Oscillator Frequency controlled by C2 and IF transformer
Spectrum of transmitter without input signals Carrier Frequency Second harmonic Third harmonic Forth harmonic
Spectrum of modulated signals Where are the chrominance subcarrier, the horizontal spectrum and the vertical spectrum??? Sound carrier Picture Carrier Carrier Frequency
Problems Encountered • Searching for parts • Noise in Audio background & Video distortion • Time consume • Many more factors need to be considered in our design
Conclusions What we learned: • Time Management • Teamwork • Research plays a big role in design process
Final Costs • Parts: $40 • Labors: $7,000 • Total: $7,040
