I.F. Amplifier - The I.F. transformer primary has 18 turns, the secondary winding has 4 turns. The capacitors across the IFT primaries are 82pF. The input/output transformer has 12 turns, tapped at 3 turns from ground. This transformer is wound on a ferrite core. The mosfets are 3SK45's. The diodes in the product detector are 1N34's. I use a six pole SSB filter from a scrap CB. The centre frequency is 7.8MHz. The -6db bandwidth is about 2.5KHz. (added 02/05)

IF Amplifier Circuit - Three of these amplifiers are used in series to build the 455 kHz IF amplifier. AGC voltage comes from the AGC Circuit. The diagram above shows the circuit for the second IF amplifier. (added 02/05)

Low Distortion IF Amplifier/ ADC Driver with Digitally Controlled Gain - Linear Technology LT5524 (app note added 02/05)

Trimless IF VCO: Part 1: Design Considerations - This application note explores the design fundamentals needed to implement a trimless, fixed-frequency, IF voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and points out the challenges in guaranteeing proper circuit operation. VCOs are essential components in the architecture of most wireless systems. In dual-conversion approaches, a fixed-frequency....  APP 711: Feb 05, 2001  (app note added 5/05)

Tunable IF with TDA7000 - The main motive of the mods was not that the circuit didn't work right, but were several tries to add some kind of frequency indicator to the receiver. The left RCA plug and associated components are witnesses to the last version, adding a FET buffer amplifier and taking signal from the oscillator coil. (added 02/05)
