RF detector circuit diagram using transistors


Posted on Feb 4, 2014

This circuit responds to RF signals bellow the standard broadcast band to over 500MHz and provides an visual, and audible indication when the rf signal is detected. By adjusting the bias of D2 with the R2 potentiometer the circuit can detect low power or strong signals. A very sensitive setting can be obtained by modifying R2 until the LED begins
