Radio Frequency IO

A simple RF Transmitter for digital data

From David Huisman

Loop dimensions given are for 303.8 Mhz. The antenna is a printed track that is 3mm wide and occupies a square with side lengths of 25mm. Keep the component lead lengths as short as possible.  Single sided PCB works fine (there must be no earth plane under the loop antenna). The resonators can be obtained from RFM (www.rfm.com) and are available in surface mount or conventional packaging.

Questions:

• spamgmhrn3 at spamyahoo.com asks: " could you please describe the circuit for me?" +
• spamgmhrn3 at spamyahoo.com asks: " can we use other than the loop antenna shown in the tx circuit diagram shown above ?" +
• what is the purpose of C4 James Newton replies: It combines with the inductance of the loop antenna to form a tank circuit.+

• Nice circuit, but where is the resonator placed in the circuit. Also is there a matching receiver circuit available?
  Thanks James Newton replies: It's a CW transmitter so ANY am reciever will pick it up. +
