Bridged Tee Diplexer
Diplexor is a bandpass/band-stop filter popularized by Joe Reisert W1JR that is used after a double Balanced Mixer to provide a 50 ohm termination to all frequencies at the mixer's IF port, and to the following amplifier stage. Maintaining a consistent load at the mixer avoids overload and Inter-Modulation Distortion (IMD) effects that these mixers are prone to when not properly terminated.
LTSpice simulation
- 9 MHz
- FT37-67, 20T-12" = 8 uH
- T37-17, 13T-10" = 250 nH
- C2 adjusts peak from left to right
