How can I modify this circuit to ensure the electret mic receives sufficient voltage while also incorporating an RF amplifier transistor and a voltage regulator to maintain stable performance, along with an audio preamp with pre-emphasis for FM radio broadcasting compatibility?The supply voltage of only 3V is too low for most electret mics that are powered from the 4.7k resistor.
The mic draws a current of up to 0.5mA and uses a minimum voltage across it of 2V.
0.5mA x 4.7k= 2.35V then the mic gets only 3V-2.35V= 0.65V but at such a low voltage its current will be less than 0.5mA and the mic probably will not work.
The simple circuit needs an RF amplifier transistor to isolate the oscillator tuning capacitor from the antenna that changes its capacitance (changing the radio frequency) when something moves towards or away from the antenna.
The circuit also needs a voltage regulator to prevent the radio frequency from changing as the battery voltage runs down.
It also needs anwhatsapp+8 audio preamp with pre-emphasis (treble boost) like all FM radio stations use to match the de-emphasis used in all FM radios.
