Each project includes schematic diagrams, a complete parts list, and clear instructions tailored for those with minimal prior experience.
Published by (an imprint of Elsevier) on January 10, 2001, this 304-page volume (ISBN-10: 0750673311) is part of a broader bibliography that has taught generations of "Evil Geniuses" and electronics hobbyists. While it provides the technical knowledge to build unauthorized broadcasting equipment, its primary value is as an educational tool for exploring the fascinating physics of wireless communication.
Features specialized designs for UHF and VHF video transmitters , allowing users to broadcast video signals over short distances.
What distinguishes Braga's work from a simple "cookbook" of circuits is its emphasis on understanding the "why" behind the "how".
Includes circuits for several types of FM radio transmitters and AM radio transmitters , ranging from basic micro-transmitters to more robust setups.
The 2001 paperback by renowned electronics educator Newton C. Braga remains a cornerstone for DIY broadcasting enthusiasts. Part of the Electronic Circuit Investigator series, this book bridges the gap between theoretical radio frequency (RF) physics and practical, hands-on construction. Core Premise: Low-Power Transmission for the Hobbyist
Beyond the transmitters themselves, the book includes nearly a dozen "special projects" focused on test equipment , antenna design , and troubleshooting techniques. Educational and Methodological Approach
The text encourages experimenters to synthesize different pieces of equipment into unique systems and provides advice on optimizing performance. Legacy and Importance
