i am a final student currently doing my project on a 500m fm transmitter,ihave a circuit i want to build on ,but i do not know anything about the different electronic component,also i do not know the frequency and if proper impedance was considered,please i was told that there should be a pre emphasis i do not no if it was considered.this is my attached file

I think you probably have more hurdles to overcome before you worry about pre-emphasis. Firstly, I would suggest you work with analogue circuits and gain some understanding of component identification and function in that arena before you progress to RF. A stronger understanding of English literature would be a great asset too.

To answer your question, the carrier frequency for these component values is probably around 100MHz. It's determined by D1, C3, C4, C5, C6, L2. L2 is of course a variable component and would be used to fine tune the carrier frequency.
Antenna impedance will be non-determinate with a circuit such as this as there is no buffered output stage.
Pre emphasis is dependant on where you are in the world, it will be either 50 or 70 µS. This circuit is not finessed enough to take such nuances into account.

please if i put my resistor and capacitor as my pre emphasis before my capacitor c1 am i correct,and please i want to control the volume of my mic can i vary my R1,also please what is the function of the diode,or can someone please analyse the circuit pleassse

on a 500m fm transmitter
the carrier frequency for these component values is probably around 100MHz.
There seems to be a disconnect, since 100MHz is more akin to 3m, not 500m. So make sure that the circuit and components you are talking about are actually suitable for what it is you are supposed to be doing.

Whatever school you are attending, you might think carefully before giving them another dime, because there is little indication that you have gotten what you have paid for, namely an education. And note that I make no judgement on your English -- it's decipherable and it is one hell of a lot better then would be my ability to communicate in your native language (no matter what it is -- unless it's actually English).

I suspect that the 500 meters he is talking about is the range of the transmitter.

The values on the schematic look pretty reasonable. If you build it according to the schematic, you can probably get it to work pretty well. You aren't going to transmit music, so the pre-emphasis is not important. Really -just go ahead and build it as shown.

Hello,

The diode D1 is performing as a varicap.(varactor diode).
The capacitance will change with the signal from the microphone.

1N4007 is a rectifier diode. Shouldn't it be a 1N34A or equivalent? Maybe even an MV2109 tuning diode? If so, would that eliminate the need for C7?

Hello,

Even a common rectifier diode has teh capabilities of a varicap diode.
The variation in capacitance will be not very efficient.
There are many varicap diodes available:
