27mhz transmitter design

[Makedonianin]

Hi, I'm in a need of a 27Mhz transmitter design input (20hz-15khz).
Now I'm kinda lost in all the literature i have.
In my uderstanding I need an amplifier and modulator, so basically 2 transistors.
Also maybe someone experienced could tell me which modulation would be better for use AM,FM and why?
Any help appreciated

There are surely loads of designs out there on the web. What are you trying to achieve here? And what about the power level? Building a plasma speaker?
You seem to only want the tx, but why the 20Hz-15kHz spec. and then no preference for modulation, when the receiver will be the specifying/ limiting part?

Hi,
Thanks for such a quick answer
Well this my university project. I had a little to do with the requirements ( carrier 27mhz, 10mW, input 20-15khz). So i have a lot of freedom in design.
I'm basically building a simple wireless guitar system. And I don't want to take a already done circuit, soldering isn't my point here I want to do it myself, just need some hint,pointers in the right direction

Ok, so your hands are not tied in any way and you don't need to consider the receiver, but;
27MHz is prone to "skip", interference & noise (but not worse that it's been used for remote control models etc.). The wavelength is also quite long which is a challenge for an efficient antenna design. Also, a 15Khz bandwidth being over 4 times the usual bandwidth is making it non-compliant with regulations.
Apart from those issues FM is the natural choice for noise-free reception, as AM would be prone to clicks & buzzes from mains switches etc.
You can build a simple oscillator with varicap diodes as the modulating elements. Then follow this with an output stage. You might get away with a 3-transistor device.
But I'd rather try to use a 4046 CMOS PLL as the modulating element, with a crystal-controlled frequency for stability. A frequency multiplier will certainly be neccessary between this and the output stage. I'm not able to help you with the RF design in itself though, that's kind of a black magic even to me.
