These often employed a transformer-coupled modulation style, where an audio amplifier IC (like the LM386) modulated the power supply voltage of the RF oscillator. 3. Analog Video Transmitters

Building low-power transmitters to explore AM, FM, and shortwave bands.

Newton C. Braga , a prolific electronics author and educator. Publication Date: December 27, 2000 (Paperback). Series: Electronic Circuit Investigator.

A unique highlight of the book is its focus on analog television transmission.

– A departure from the FM band into long-distance broadcasting. It includes a Small AM Transmitter , a Two-Transistor MW Transmitter , and high-power tube designs for both AM and CW shortwave transmission .

While analog broadcasting has shifted significantly toward digital since the book's publication in 2000, it remains a valuable resource for understanding the fundamentals of electronics and RF technology. Pirate Radio and Video: Experimental Transmitter Projects
