Bird Microphone Transmitter Circuit

Working Explanation

The circuit is utilizing a 1.2 V rechargeable battery and a 3 V solar cell which will function as a battery charger during day time. The circuit will work for a long time or years ceaselessly until the rechargeable battery becomes failed. Make the circuit on a decent quality PCB and attempt to keep all segments as close as could reasonably be expected and fit the circuit in a box to make it weatherproof. After finishing the circuit tune your FM radio on a clear spot between 100 to 108 MHz and somewhat turn the capacitor of the transmitter with a non-conductive device to tune the transmitter to your required frequency. Fix the circuit where it will get sunlight for charging the 1.2 V battery. Utilize an antenna of 12 inches.

Applications and Uses

The circuit is used when you want to hear the lovely voices of birds by sitting at home without any wire connections.
