SSB6 Design
Contents
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
My Build
- SSB6 filter is too big for Kits and Parts board
- 2500 Hz bandwidth
- Fits in 80x50 extruded enclosure
