i am making a IR transmitter receiver for audio signal, for home use
in the transmitter part i removed the transformer and the voltage divider circuit and made the rest as such.. it works giving me 240mA for the IR LEDs from 12 volts regulated supply
in the receiver part, i used a BD139 instead of BEL187, and BC548 instead of BC549. the rest of the circuit is as such..
both the circuits work.. i tested them.. but the problem is the the range is no more than 6 cm.. and i getting a very low volume of sound at the receiving end...
whats wrong with it.. how can i increase the range as well as the amplification of the received signal?
Sorry, but the entire thing is absolutely rubbish - it pops up here time and time again, and never works - for one thing the transmitter rectifies the incoming audio!.
in my first post, when said i had removed the voltage divider, i forgot to mention that i fixed biased it with 2.2kohms at Rb and connected parallel to Rc of 100ohms..
but my problem isn't the transmitter .. its the receiver...
Then check it with a scope, but there's really not a great deal of gain in the receiver, and the transmitter doesn't provide very much output as it's continuous carrier, so you can't pulse the LED's at high current like remote controls do.
thats exactly wht i am asking... how to increase the gain of the receiver... because when i tried to use a pre-amp audio amplifier with TDA2030, the signal stays as such,, but it works on other direct audio signals.

how about if i use a 555 as a VCO at transmitting and receiving ... with carrier frequency.. so that the audio is frequency modulated.. i can then control the duty cycle,.... would it work then?
