QRP Labs High Performance SDR Receiver

Features

• Three modules
  • Radio Module
    • This high performance receiver module uses a Quadrature Sampling Detector (QSD), also known as a Tayloe Detector
    • The mixer is arranged as a double-balanced mixer for maximum performance
    • The receiver board has a socket for the standard QRP Labs Band Pass Filter kit
    • There is a transmit/receive switch onboard. Low noise LM4562 op-amps are used in instrumentation amplifier configuration to provide excellent common mode noise rejection
    • The audio output of the module is isolated using two 600:600-ohm transformers to reduce or eliminate the ground loop problems which can easily occur in SDR systems
    • The module is designed to directly drive a stereo input sound-card
    • The module is sized 80 x 37mm
  • Band Pass Filter
    • Switched Bandpass filter board
  • Polyphase filter
    • Polyphase network plug-in module kit which cancels the unwanted sideband and produces a single sideband (SSB) output
• The receiver requires a local oscillator (LO) input at 4x the receive frequency
