ABSTRACT

The main aim of our project Frequency Modulator Receiver is to operate a FM receiver with a simple circuit consist of two simple ICs, resistor, antenna, capacitor, diode.

An FM radio wave receiver includes a diversity antenna system responsive to signal strength and noise levels. The signal strength and noise detectors generate representative signals that are compared with a threshold value for determining the input to a control for the antenna switch alternately connecting two or more antennas to the front end of the FM receiver. The present invention provides an adaptive threshold for each of the signal strength and noise signals so that the switching is limited to significant changes in signal strength and noise levels. In the preferred embodiment, the noise level threshold is adapted as a function of the modulation level of the audio composite signal delivered from the FM detector to the stereo decoder of the FM receiver.

PROJECT OVERVIEW:

Broadcast band frequency modulation (FM) radio was invented to solve existing problems with noise and fidelity on the amplitude modulation (AM) broadcast band. Thus, the first FM receivers were quite complex in design, employing a super heterodyne converter, a wideband IF, a limiter stage, and a discriminator.

Unlike the first AM radio sets, the earliest FM radio sets did not use the simplest

possible methods for receiving signals.

Although the title alludes to simplicity, these radio designs are not uniformly simple. These designs generally have low component counts, however the design or construction my have been far from simple.The purpose of this project is to make FM circuit simple and to get output frequency in wide range.

The F.M. band covers 88-108 MHz. There are signals from many radio transmitters in this band inducing signal voltages in the aerial. The RF amplifier selects and amplifies the desired station from the many. It is adjustable so that the selection frequency can be altered. This is called TUNING. In cheaper receivers the tuning is fixed and the tuning filter is wide enough to pass all signals in the F.M. band.

• The selected frequency is applied to the mixer.

• The output of an oscillator is also applied to the mixer.

• The mixer and oscillator form a FREQUENCY CHANGER circuit.

• The output from the mixer is the intermediate frequency (i.f.)

• The i.f. is a fixed frequency of 10.7 MHz.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION We are immensely pleased to put forth the following introduction.

The aim of this project work is to design, construct and test the Frequency Modulator receiver. The circuit consists of IC CXA1619BS, CTC810, diodes, resistors, antenna, capacitors, and transformer. There are two main sections.

Firstly the signal frequency is received from antenna and it is stored in IC CXA1619BS

using capacitors.

Secondly the signal is amplified using IC CTC810. Using the tuner the selected

frequency can be obtained from IC CXA1619BS.

The FM receiver is designed using the popular Sony chip CXA1619BS used for AM/FM receiver circuits. The chip is a 30 pin dual-in–line package with the following functional blocks:

· Front-end block (RF amplifier, mixer , oscillator)· IF stage· FM discriminator· AF Power amplifier

The transmitted signal is picked up by a high gain and high directivity Yagi –Uda antenna designed to pick signals around 145 MHz frequencies. The signal from the antenna is fed first to IC CXA1619BS which suppresses adjacent channels and allows only the selected high frequency signal.

CAPACITANCE:

Once the capacitor is charged, the voltage on the capacitor is used to kill theoscillations of the circuit. (Technically, the capacitor voltage shifts the operating point ofthe amplifier to reduce its gain and stop the oscillations.) When the oscillations stop, thecapacitor discharges (through a resistor). Once the capacitor is discharged, theoscillations begin again.

TUNER:

The tuner is used to select the required frequency.

RESISTORSAresist o r is a two-terminal electronic component designed to oppose an electric currentby producing a voltage drop between its terminals in proportion to the current, that is, inaccordance with Ohm's law:V =IR. The resistance R is equal to the voltage dropVacross the resistor divided by the currentI through the resistor.

Resistors are characterized primarily by their resistance and the power they can dissipate.Other characteristics include temperature coefficient, noise, and inductance. Practicalresistors can be made of resistive wire, and various compounds and films, and they canbe integrated into hybrid and printed circuits.

Size, and position of leads are relevant to equipment designers; resistors must bephysically large enough not to overheat when dissipating their power. Variable resistors,adjustable by changing the position of a tapping on the resistive element, and resistorswith a movable tap ("potentiometers"), either adjustable by the user of equipment orcontained within, are also used.

Resistors are used as part of electrical networks and electronic circuits.There are specialtypes of resistor whose resistance varies with various quantities, most of which havenames, and articles, of their own: the resistance of thermistors varies greatly withtemperature, whether external or due to dissipation, so they can be used for temperatureor current sensing.

Resistors, like diodes and relays, are another of the electronic parts that should have asection in the installer's parts bin. They have become a necessity for the mobile

16

electronics installer, whether it be for door locks, praking lights, timing circuits, remotestarts, LED's, or just to discharge a stiffening capacitor.

Resistors "resist" the flow of electrical current. The higher the value of resistance

(measured in ohms) the lower the current will be.

Resistors are color coded. To read the color code of a common 4 band 1K ohm resistorwith a 5% tolerance, start at the opposite side of the GOLD tolerance band and read fromleft to right. Write down the corresponding number from the color chart below for the 1stcolor band (BROWN). To the right of that number, write the corresponding number forthe 2nd band (BLACK) . Now multiply that number (you should have 10) by thecorresponding multiplier number of the 3rd band (RED)(100).

If a resistor has 5 color bands, write the corresponding number of the 3rd band to theright of the 2nd before you multiply by the corresponding number of the multiplier band.If you only have 4 color bands that include a tolerance band, ignore this column and gostraight to the multiplier

CAPACITORSAcapacito r is a passive electrical component that can store energy in the electric fieldbetween a pair of conductors (called "plates"). The process of storing energy in thecapacitor is known as "charging", and involves electric charges of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity, building up on each plate. A capacitor's ability to store charge is measured by its capacitance, in units of farads.

Capacitors are often used in electric and electronic circuits as energy-storage devices.They can also be used to differentiate between high-frequency and low-frequency signals.This property makes them useful in electronic filters. Practical capacitors have seriesresistance, internal leakage of charge, series inductance and other non-ideal properties notfound in a theoretical, ideal, capacitor.Capacitors are Ocasionally referred to as condensers.

In theory, the dielectric can be any non-conductive substance. However, for practical applications, specific materials are used that best suit the capacitor's function. Mica,ceramic, cellulose, porcelain, Mylar, Teflon and even air are some of the non-conductive materials used. The dielectric dictates what kind of capacitor it is and for what it is best suited. Depending on the size and type of dielectric, some capacitors are better for high frequency uses, while some are better for high voltage applications.

Capacitance also depends on the dielectric constant of the dielectric material separating the plates.

The standard units of Capacitance,

farad(F)microfarad: µF (1 µF = 10-6 F)nanofarad: nF (1 nF = 10-9 F)Pico farad: pF (1 pF = 10-12 F)

DIODESAdiode is a two-terminal device ( thermionic diodes may also have one or two ancillaryterminals for a heater).Diodes have two active electrodes between which the signal ofinterest may flow, and most are used for their unidirectional electric current property. Thevaricap diode is used as an electrically adjustable capacitor.

The directionality of current flow most diodes exhibit is sometimes generically called the

rectifying property. The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current

to pass in one direction (called the forward biased condition) and to block the current in

the opposite direction (the reverse biased condition)
