Circuit diagram, FM transmitter for smartphone MP3 Player 2N2218 LM741. Evolution FM transmitter with 2n2218 with audio amplification step using LM741 op amp with audio input for MP3, MP4, mobile, computer and other audio sources, beyond the traditional electret microphone. With great sensitivity to the input signal. Using fewer components and easy assembly makes it ideal for those who want even without much experience assembling an FM transmitter with reasonable power.
About the FM transmitter circuit
Circuit based on another project with transmitter 2n2218, posted on the blog.
Power supply be 6 to 12V Battery or good quality power supply, is recommended during test and adjust use of 9 or 12V battery.
The coil should be obtained four winding turns of enameled wire 22 AWG air core self-sustained and 1 cm diameter. Also in this case we connect the antenna between the third and fourth loop because it ensures greater stability in the transmission.
The variable capacitor should be with maximum capacitance 30-50 pF.
If you prefer, you can use an adjustable coil of this FM receiver and put a fixed capacitor of 4.7pF instead of CV.
The antenna can be a telescopic 80 cm, a piece of stiff wire or a specific antenna for FM transmitter. Must be connected at the point marked by Ant, and the coil is connected via C2.
As the circuit has an audio input type P2 to be connected to many audio source, we adopted a trimpot to adjust the signal level of the circuit. Also adopted was a key to disable the electret microphone.
Use a heat sink in the transistor, which may be a commercial or DIY piece of aluminum

HI. The project is interesting. Does anyone have the gerber pcb files available?
Thanks
I found them.
you can tell me the kind of P2 connector
Thanks
Hi Rosario, Gerber PCB files available.
Can I use LM741CN to replace LM741P? the LM741 IC in the diagram are points 1,5 and 8 left free not connected?
HI Aly
Yes use LM741P, ok!
Thanks Bass I am India sir request amplifier circuit Diagram wanted sir
Can I use another NPN epitaxial silicon transistor? For example: KSC1815?
toni este transmissor eu posso receber o audio da mesa de som para o fone de ouvido usando sem fio e vc já tem uma montada para mim vender
