A makes our life smarter and easier. The wireless remote control circuit may be based on IR waves or RF waves, IR being cheaper. An IR emitter circuit is based on TSOP at the receiver section. Each TSOP operates at a particular frequency which depends on a number present on it.
The receiver input circuit is designed to efficiently transfer power from the antenna to the receiver while developing a minimum of noise within the receiver itself. Local Oscillator and Mixer The local oscillator (LO) and mixer perform the important task of converting the.
So each TSOP requires specific remote controller for its operation. There comes the importance of IR universal remote control which can be used to operate all normal hobby circuits.Here the basic principle of operation is Frequency Shift Keying (FSK). It enables to generate variable frequency so that it can detect different TSOPs.We are using two 555 timers here, both operating in astable mode which then drives the IR led.We shall discuss another transmitter circuit with microcontroller later in another article, which due to presence of crystal can generate the exact frequency. Reason for this article: In our previous articles on and we received some comments asking how to build a remote control, that’s why I decided to publish this one here.
My story: My bathroom light used to be ON almost all the time as my family members were lazy enough to OFF the switch positioned a little bit away. So I decided to save the electricity by designing this IR TSOP loop to OFF the lamp. Firstly I used a 38 khz IR transmitter circuit for which I had to design an astable to generate that frequency. For this I used a potentiometer, but it was not working properly. It worked only when the potentiometer was being varied.
So I implemented FSK to vary the frequency continuously. Remote control transmitter schematic.

IN4148. 9V battery. TSOP. LED Working of infrared remote control Transmitter. One astable output is at lower frequency and other one at a higher frequency.
Lower frequency multivibrator controls the frequency of the other. From the basic, resistors R3, R4 and capacitor C4 determines the frequency, so the frequency can be changed by varying R3. This can be done simply by connecting a NPN transistor (BC 107) in parallel with R3 with a series resistance R5 to limit the current.
Output of 555 is connected to the base of transistor through a current limiting resistor R7. When the output of first astable is high, the transistor BC107 becomes ON which in turn makes R5 parallel to R3. Then the total effective resistance goes below the resistance of lower resistor value, which reduces the time of astable 555. Thus increase frequency. Just the opposite process takes place when the first 555 output is low (OFF). Output of the second 555 is connected to an IR Led through a current limiting resistor R6.
Led glows in accordance the output frequency which is then detected by the TSOP. Sir, I want to control many home appliances with a single remote (remote controller with many buttons like TV remote) So how can i vary the transmitter frequency and same like that how can i detect it in the reciever circuit. I want to control 3 lights, in the transmitter circuits I should have 3 bottons, each for corresponding light, if I press1st botton, the 1st light should glow, and if i press 2nd botton, the 2nd light sould glow. This is my app, So can u help for this Thanks in advance.
One of the first amateur superheterodyne receivers, built in 1920 even before Armstrong published his paper. Due to the low gain of early triodes it required 9 tubes, with 5 IF amplification stages, and used an IF of around 50 kHz. Armstrong invented his receiver as a means of overcoming the deficiencies of early vacuum tube used as high-frequency amplifiers in radio equipment. Unlike simple radio communication, which only needs to make transmitted signals audible, direction-finders measure the received signal strength, which necessitates linear amplification of the actual carrier wave.
In a triode radio-frequency (RF) amplifier, if both the plate (anode) and grid are connected to resonant circuits tuned to the same frequency, stray between the grid and the plate will cause the amplifier to go into oscillation if the stage gain is much more than. In early designs, dozens (in some cases over 100) low-gain triode stages had to be connected in cascade to make workable equipment, which drew enormous amounts of power in operation and required a team of maintenance engineers. The strategic value was so high, however, that the felt the high cost was justified. Armstrong realized that if radio direction-finding (RDF) receivers could be operated at a higher frequency, this would allow better detection of enemy shipping. However, at that time, no practical 'short wave' (defined then as any frequency above 500 kHz) amplifier existed, due to the limitations of existing triodes. It had been noticed that when a receiver went into oscillation, other nearby receivers would suddenly start picking up stations on frequencies different from the stations' transmission frequency.
Armstrong (and others) eventually deduced that this was caused by a 'supersonic heterodyne' between the station's carrier frequency and the regenerative receiver's oscillation frequency. Thus if a station was transmitting on 300 kHz and the oscillating receiver was set to 400 kHz, the station would be heard not only at the original 300 kHz, but also at 100 kHz and 700 kHz.
Armstrong realized that this was a potential solution to the 'short wave' amplification problem, since the beat frequency still retained its original modulation, but on a lower carrier frequency. To monitor a frequency of 1500 kHz for example, he could set up an oscillator at, for example, 1560 kHz, which would produce a heterodyne difference frequency of 60 kHz, a frequency that could then be more conveniently amplified by the triodes of the day. He termed this the ' often abbreviated to 'IF'. In December 1919, Major E. Armstrong gave publicity to an indirect method of obtaining short-wave amplification, called the super-heterodyne. The idea is to reduce the incoming frequency, which may be, say 1,500,000 cycles (200 meters), to some suitable super-audible frequency that can be amplified efficiently, then passing this current through an intermediate frequency amplifier, and finally rectifying and carrying on to one or two stages of audio frequency amplification. Development.
The first commercial superheterodyne receiver, the RCA Radiola AR-812, brought out March 4, 1924 priced at $286. It used 6 triodes: a mixer, local oscillator, two IF and two audio amplifier stages, with an IF of 45 kHz.
It was a commercial success, with better performance than competing receivers. Armstrong was able to put his ideas into practice, and the technique was soon adopted by the military. However, it was less popular when commercial began in the 1920s, mostly due to the need for an extra tube (for the oscillator), the generally higher cost of the receiver, and the level of technical skill required to operate it. For early domestic radios, (TRF) were more popular because they were cheaper, easier for a non-technical owner to use, and less costly to operate. Armstrong eventually sold his superheterodyne patent to, who then sold it to, the latter monopolizing the market for superheterodyne receivers until 1930. Early superheterodyne receivers used IFs as low as 20 kHz, often based on the self-resonance of iron-cored.
This made them extremely susceptible to interference, but at the time, the main objective was sensitivity rather than selectivity. Using this technique, a small number of triodes could be made to do the work that formerly required dozens of triodes.
In the 1920s, commercial IF filters looked very similar to 1920s audio interstage coupling transformers, had very similar construction and were wired up in an almost identical manner, and so they were referred to as 'IF transformers'. By the mid-1930s however, superheterodynes were using much higher intermediate frequencies, (typically around 440–470 kHz), with tuned coils similar in construction to the aerial and oscillator coils. However, the name 'IF transformer' was retained and is still used today. Modern receivers typically use a mixture of or (surface-acoustic wave) resonators as well as traditional tuned-inductor IF transformers. ' vacuum-tube superheterodyne AM broadcast receiver from 1940s was cheap to manufacture because it only required five tubes. By the 1930s, improvements in vacuum tube technology rapidly eroded the TRF receiver's cost advantages, and the explosion in the number of broadcasting stations created a demand for cheaper, higher-performance receivers.
The development of the vacuum tube containing a led to a multi-element tube in which the mixer and oscillator functions could be combined, first used in the so-called mixer. This was rapidly followed by the introduction of tubes specifically designed for superheterodyne operation, most notably the. By reducing the tube count, this further reduced the advantage of preceding receiver designs. By the mid-1930s, commercial production of TRF receivers was largely replaced by superheterodyne receivers. By the 1940s the vacuum-tube superheterodyne AM broadcast receiver was refined into a cheap-to-manufacture design called the ', because it only used five vacuum tubes: usually a converter (mixer/local oscillator), an IF amplifier, a detector/audio amp, audio power amp, and a rectifier. From this time, the superheterodyne design was used for virtually all commercial radio and TV receivers.
