Build a Radio Wave Alarm

This simple circuit is sure to have the police beating a path to your door- however, it has the added advantage of alerting you to their presence even before their footsteps fall on the doormat.

Build a Radio Wave Alarm

Notes :
  • The circuit transmits on Medium Wave (this is the small problem with the police). IC1a, together with a sensor (try a 20cm x 20cm sheet of tin foil) oscillates at just over 1MHz. This is modulated by an audio frequency (a continuous beep) produced by IC1b. When a hand or a foot approaches the sensor, the frequency of the transmitter (IC1a) drops appreciably.
  • Suppose now that the circuit transmits at 1MHz. Suppose also that your radio is tuned to a frequency just below this. The 1MHz transmission will therefore not be heard by the radio. But bring a hand or a foot near to the sensor, and the transmitters frequency will drop, and a beep will be heard from the radio.
  • Attach the antenna to a multiplug adapter that is plugged into the mains, and you will find that the Medium Wave transmission radiates from every wire in your house. Now place a suitably tuned Medium Wave radio near some wires or a plug point in your house, and an early-warning system is set up.
  • Instead of using the sheet of tin foil as the sensor, you could use a doorknob, or burglar bars. Or you could use a pushbutton and series resistor (wired in series with the 33K resistor - the pushbutton would short it out) to decrease the frequency of IC1a, so activating the system by means of a pushbutton switch. In this case, the radio would be tuned to a frequency just below that of the transmitter.

AM Radio Receiver Using by TEA5551T

Using TEA5551T monolithic integrated radio circuit can be designed a AM radio receiver circuit which is designed for use as a portable radio receiver with headphones . 

AM Radio Receiver Circuit diagram

The TEA5551T radio receiver circuit contains all is needed for a AM radio receiver circuit (a complete AM part and dual AF amplifier with low quiescent current).The TEA5551T support a input voltage range (VS) from 1.8 V to 4.5 V but the typical voltage is 3 volts .Because in most case we don’t find to buy inductors you need to build the inductors L1 , L2 , L3 . In the picture bellow you can see the construction data for these three inductors .
