A minimum component AM transmitter to monitor electronic brain stimulation.
Construction of a light weight AM transmitter which can be used to monitor implanted electronic brain stimulators is described. The unit can operate continuously for 40 hours on a single battery and can easily be carried by a small laboratory animal. The range of the unit is limited to approximately 1 meter and the transmitted signal can be detected by a standard AM broadcast band receiver. The unit is simple to construct, inexpensive, and reliable in performance.
