Design
- 6 element filter
- W7ZOI Crystal Filter paper has several crystal filter designs
- Narrow bandwidth bandpass filters for SSB
- Used for transmit/receive
- 9 MHz nominal frequency
- 50 Ohms in/out impedance
- Bin crystals using Colpitts Crystal Oscillator
- Hand select close values from a pile of crystals
- Can get much closer than 10% of bandwidth with 50 crystals
- W7ZOI Filters on Kits and Parts Boards
- Other filter builds
- 5 or less crystals
W7ZOI SSB6 Schematic
- Response curve
Build
- SSB6 filter is too big for Kits and Parts board (5 crystals limit)
- 2500 Hz bandwidth
Schematic
Dishal Values
- Impedance = 195.9

Measured Crystal Values
Number Freq Delta from average 09 8.997791 -7.7 12 8.997791 -7.7 41 8.997793 -5.7 06 8.997794 -4.7 21 8.997798 -0.7 38 8.997798 -0.7
Enclosure 80x50x20
- Fits in 80x50 extruded enclosure
- Material: Aluminum
- Color: black
- Size: approx.80*50*20mm
- Thickness: approx.1mm
Performance Measurements
Overall
- NanoVNA
- 2.5 KHz / div
Detailed
- 1 KHz/div
- Bandpass looks about 2500 KHz = good
- Left freq = 8.99762 MHz
- Right freq = 9.00005 MHz
- Delta = 2.43 KHz
- Center frequency = 8.99885 MHz
- Implies crystals are properly matched?
- Insertion loss at "best" point (red marker) -5.14 dB = OK
- Deep skirts = good
- Ripple looks bad
- Right side low
Compared to SSB4
- 1 KHz/div
- Skirts much deeper on SSB6
- -90 dB on SSB6 at window edges
- -60 dB on SSB4 at window edges
- Passband much flatter on SSB4
- Insertion loss lower on SSB4
- SSB4
