WHY WIRELESS EARPHONES? • Wanted to develop a device which hasn’t been explored thoroughly in the wireless field • Increase our knowledge in wireless and RF (radio frequency) technology • Construct a device which would be useful and fun to use
PROJECT DESCRIPTION • Wireless earphones are lightweight ear-clip stereo headphones made by Maxell. • The earphones will be used in conjunction with a portable audio player. • Increased range of listening.
SIMILAR PRODUCTS GBA-SP Wireless Earphone • Built-in FM Radio • Transmitter requires no batteries. • Earphone receiver runs only on 2 AAA batteries. • The right earphone serves as the control center. • The left earphone houses the battery compartment.
SIMILAR PRODUCTS Acoustic Research 900MHz Wireless Stereo Headphones • Headphones work with audio or video devices, like TVs, DVD players, computers, etc. • Transmission range about 300 feet. • Rechargeable batteries • Transmitter is bulky • Headphone vs. Earphone
ORIGINAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS • Suppression of unwanted signals at 45 dB minimum • FM modulation • Battery Life: 8 hours minimum • Receiver: Ear bud size • Transmission Range: 300 ft minimum
ACTUAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS • Suppression of unwanted signals at 40 dB • FM modulation • Battery Life of Receiver: 25 hours • Battery Life of Transmitter: 25 hours • Receiver: Ear-clip size • Transmission Range: 200 ft
COMPONENTS • RF transmitter • RF receiver • Battery • Earphones • Antenna
OLD TRANSMITTERS • Originally we had 3 different transmitters from which to choose. • Each transmitter had a wide supply voltage, long transmission range, and average in cost. RTF3-433 FM RF Transmitter Module Quasi AM/FM RF Transmitter Module TXM-xxx-A/F FM RF Transmitter Module
OLD RECEIVERS • Initially there were two receivers to match the three transmitters. • Fairly expensive – about $50.00 • Dimensions weren’t very small SILRX-xxx-A/F FM SuperHeterodyne Receiver Module QMR1-433 Quasi AM/FM Receiver Module
NEW TRANSMITTER FMST-100 STEREO TRANSMITTER • Tunable from 76-108MHz • Compatible with any audio device, like a CD player or tape deck • Uses a BA1404 IC chip • Transmission range is 200 feet • With 9 V battery, has a battery life of 25 hours • Price: $29.95
NEW RECEIVER TDA7000 FM Radio Receiver • Supply voltage range: 2.7 to 10 V • Supply current: typical 8 mA • Frequency range: 1.5 to 110 MHz • Sensitivity: 1.5 mV • With 3 V battery, has a battery life of 25 hours • Price: $15.95
BLOCK DIAGRAM IMPLEMENTATION • A CD player was used for the input signal. • The audio signal was then received by the FMST-100 stereo transmitter. • Within the FMST-100 stereo transmitter the signal is amplified and modulated by the BA1404 IC chip. • The signal is then transmitted and received using the antennas. • Inside the TDA7000 FM Radio Receiver chip, the signal is demodulated and amplified so it can be heard with the wireless earphones.
RESULTS • Transmitter is functional • Debugging completed for transmitter • In the process of debugging receiver
Mount transmitter in box • Increase stability of transmitter • Design an antenna system
