A field strength meter fsm is a very useful circuit to detect and measure the rf signals and their strength.
Field strength meter circuit diagram.
Considering these factors a dual mosfet is used as an rf amplifier in this circuit.
I saw this circuit in an old issue of 73 radio electronics.
This field strength meter uses an 1ma fsd ammeter dc and indicates the radio magnetic field strength between 0 to 1ma scale range.
The unit discussed here indicates by means of a chain of leds in logarithmetic ratios the strength of an electric field surrounding the unit.
This is a very straightforward circuit.
How to build field strength meter.
You re measuring field strength from a transmitting vhf antenna use a vhf an tenna on the field strength meter.
The amplification of ic1 a r4 p1.
I built it but it didn t work well so i changed a few components to get better sensitivity.
L1 480 khz to 2 4 mhz l2 2 4 mhz to 12 mhz l3 12 mhz to 40 mhz the antenna is made of 30 cm long metal rod.
I saw this circuit in an old issue of 73 radio electronics.
This is a simple and low cost wide band vhf field strength meter.
Simple field strength meter circuit is designed by using single transistor and few easily available components.
The inputs signal across the conducting discs is applied to the non inverting input of ic1.
Start your measurements by using low transmitter power and a near minimum sensitivity on the field strength meter.
To use turn on transmitter and meter.
The rf field strength meter circuit schematic.
How to build field strength meter december 25 2010 category.
This circuit is another radio frequency rf field strength meter similar with our previous field strength meter circuit but with lower supply voltage only a single cell 1 5v battery.
The rf signal will be picked up by the coil and rectified by the diode d1 even a very small dc voltage is sufficient to alter the biasing of fet and it will be reflected in the meter as an indication of the presence of a radio signal.
Here is the schematic diagram of this rf strength meter circuit.
The amplification can be adjusted by p1 and with s1 switch we can select three frequency ranges.
I built it but it didn t work well so i changed a few components to get better sensitivity.
The circuit shown here can be used as a wide band field strength meter and can field strength meter.
This circuit help us to.
The field strength is measured by converting the radio signal to dc and measuring it.
This circuit can be used to detect magnetic field strength of radio signal and common radio transmitting signal through antenna.
