Small FM Transmitters for Beacons or Fox Hunting
About this build
Here are a couple of small FM transmitters that you might find interesting:
1. NTX2 UHF Narrow Band FM Transmitter:
– The NTX2 transmitter, along with the matching NRX2 receiver, offers a low-power, reliable data link. It's designed for applications where existing single-frequency wideband UHF modules have insufficient range.
– Available for license-exempt operation in the 433 MHz (EU) and 458 MHz (UK) bands.
– Features include effective screening, internal filtering to minimize spurious radiation, and compliance with EMC standards.
– Ideal for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless links, sensor nodes, EPOS (electronic point of sale), inventory tracking, telemetry, and more.
– Suitable for battery-powered portable applications due to its small size and low power consumption.
– Usable range over 500 meters¹.
2. Graphene Nanomechanical FM Transmitter:
– Researchers at Columbia University built the world's smallest FM transmitter using a graphene nanomechanical system (NEMS).
– This tiny device oscillates at a frequency of 100 MHz.
– Potential applications include sensing tiny masses and on-chip signal processing².
Feel free to explore these options further! 😊
