So I built a simple AM transmitter but it only broadcasts no more than a foot away. I would like to amplify its output so I could at least hear it around the house. I know I need to make an RF amplifier but I'm not sure exactly how to go about that...
What exactly makes an "RF amplifier" different from any other amplifier?
The only other type of amp I have built is with small transistors for an audio signal, and even then I didn't really understand how to calculate what resistances I need.
Also I have a couple TIP42 power transistors that I was hoping to use to amplify the signal output but I'm not sure exactly how to go about designing the proper circuit.
Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
