Simple AM FM Antenna Booster Circuit

This is design for antenna booster circuit. This circuit can be used to amplify the weak signal received by the antenna. This circuit is a simplest form of circuit. Antenna for AM/FM is usually not tuned for the optimal dimension of 1/4 wavelength, since we prefer small portable size. This un-tuned antenna has very low gain, so the antenna booster circuit here is very helpful in getting better signal reception. This is the figure of the circuit.


Use around 470uH coil for L1 if you use for AM frequency (700 KHz - 1.5 MHz) and use around 20uH for SW or FM receiver. For short wave performance, using this antenna booster, you’ll get a strong signal as we get from a 20-30 feet antenna, with only a standard 18″ telescopic antenna and this booster circuit. The power supply should be bypassed by a 47nF capacitor to ground, at a point that should be chosen as close as possible to L1.
