Hello,

please, would some good person help me with analysis of this circuit (my guess it's a FM radio). My task is to revive it, however I don't quite know how.

What I'd do:
1. Connect the circuit to 9 V voltage source
2. Divide the circuit to 2 parts - AC and DC
3. Search for voltage dividers in DC part

I don't possess much knowledge about transistors. What would you do to make this circuit alive and check whether everything works. How would you calculate certain important values.

THANK YOU, any help or advice is highly APPRECIATED!!!!
Have a nice day!

You're on the right track. Since the stages are AC coupled, it's straightforward to determine the correct bias voltages.

The input looks like a microphone to me.

It is not an FM radio, in other words, it is not a receiver.
It is a microphone FM transmitter.

Is this homework?
Thank you! It's not a homework :D but we're likely to get it on an exam...

What does it mean to "revive" a schematic and why are you trying to revive a schematic for something when you don't even know what the something is? o_O

Revive - to make it working. I'm asking for a procedure - theoretically, if you'd see this circuit, what would you do... I'm well aware that I perhaps want too much... It's just the way it works on our school, you're given a circuit without explanation what it is...

This is a practice question that you could be asked in an exam. That makes it homework.
Since this is course related material, you ought to have covered most of it in class.
Hence, tell us everything you know from looking at the circuit. You cannot expect us to be there by your side in an exam or job interview.

Try to build this circuit using Spice program such as Simetrix Spice. You should be able to decode and understand circuit once you see the analysis results in Spice. Study BJT amplifier circuit, Ohm law...

Just a quick tip.

If you really want to understand this circuit and dont have much experience with transistors you should probably start with a simpler circuit and work your way to this circuit. Start with say an audio amplifier, they are much much simpler to understand and get a rough idea how transistors work in circuits in general.
