A very simple and cheap tv antenna amplifier circuit built with BF961 a N–Channel Dual Gate MOS common transistor used for input and mixer stages especially for FM- and VHF TV-tuners up to 300 MHz.
L1 = L2 = 5turns / 0.8mm Ø / 5mm Ø / the second turn from ground.
This tv antenna amplifier can be used even as an fm receiver amplifier because it has a wideband amplification, so if you don’t use it for the tv set you can receive your favorite radio stations in better conditions.

very good
very very GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Hi Hossein,did you built the above project? Care to share some video or pic of the project?I need to see the outcome before doing this project.Thanks
Can use for UHF?
No, this tv antenna amplifier cannot be used for UHF because the maximum amplified frequency is 300 MHz and UHF band is between 300 MHz and 3 GHz. You may use this one http://electroschematics.com/447/uhf-antenna-amplifier/
can i just buy it as a finish product? i’m sorry but i’m not good enough to follow projects like his. i’m interested with this, so, can you help where can i buy it?
i’m searching for communication project….
any one know any good web site????
Can you please make your schmatic diagram very bold and clear.thanks i really love this site
Is this work?? Or its just a waste of time? kindly reply me on my email add: rocknjulius@yahoo.com.. thanks guys..
give more description about L1 and L2
what is the input wattage and db.gain
I really ned to join your company andf be part of you.plewase accept me. i hopoe to hear from you soon.
l1 1 uH
L2 150uH
U VCC 12V
Please, how do I identify the gates of the MOS? I’m trying to embark on it, help me out please.
can you post a pictorial diagram on your TV antenna AMP tnx
Very good.Thank You
HOW TO EARTH IT>>>>ITS BURN IN RAINI WEATHER????
This circuit is subject to failure from electrostatic discharge. A lightning strike that sometimes accompanies rain could easily do this, and it does not even have to a close hit.
Perhaps anti-parallel diodes (1N4148) connected gate to ground would offer protection. That would add 4pf each for a total of 8pf. Using (4) diodes in series parallel would drop this shunt capacitance to 4pf. The 6-25pf trimmer would need readjustment to compensate for the added capacitance.
