Choosing An Exciter

An exciter, also commonly called a “transmitter”, takes an audio feed, and turns it into a radio wave. All FM exciters operate on the same essential principle. First an oscillator produces a “very high” frequency carrier wave – somewhere between 88000 and 108000 cycles per second. An audio signal is then used to dynamically “modulate” the carrier wave, causing slight variations in that frequency. Most exciters make use of at least one RF amplifier stage to amplify the modulated carrier wave (radio wave). Finally, the radio wave is used to vibrate an antenna. If done well, those vibrations will travel about until they reach your receiver’s antenna.
