Low cost RF Module Design & integration - In many cases it's just hard to beat the pricing on many of the pre-built 300 MHz RF modules (as pictured above). These modules are useful in OOK (On Off Keying) applications and data rates to 2400 baud. Specialized coding with checksums, forward error correction, remote control codes or Manchester coding is available for applications that need it. When it comes __ Designed by Steve Hageman
Low cost VHF Synthesizer - This synthesizer was designed to drive a low cost VHF Aircraft Band receiver, but it has applications to any VHF radio in the 75 to 180 MHz band. Low phase noise and reference feed through were also design goals. The design was implemented in just a few day's and was fully tested and characterized. Code was written to allow the synthesizer to be turned on and programmed, thus eliminating extra firmware support from the client. __ Designed by Steve Hageman
Low Frequency Circulator/Isolator Uses No Ferrite or Magnet - The ferrite circulator/isolator is an amazing and important tool for the microwave engineer. Unfortunately, for frequencies below several hundred megahertz, the size of the magnets and ferrite becomes unworkable and the cost skyrockets. With the advent of remarkably fast op-amps, __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.
Low Frequency Sine Wave Generator - The two circuits below illustrate generating low frequency sine waves by shifting the phase of the signal through an RC network so that oscillation occurs where the total phase shift is360 degrees. __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Low frequency-12 to 40 MHz, self contained synthesizer - This synthesizer was designed to drive a high performance HF (Shortwave Receiver) receiver, but it has applications to any HF radio in the DC to 50 MHz band. Low phase noise and reference feedthrough were also design goals. The design is fully self contained and utilized a low cost shielding arrangement that eliminated the need for costly custom shields.

Low-cost RF sniffer finds 2.4-GHz sources - 11/23/06 EDN-Design Ideas Locate interference sources in the ISM band Design by Vladimir Dvorkin, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA
Low-Cost RF Synthesizer Uses Generic ICs - 24-Jun-10 EDN-Design Ideas You can design a hardware-based frequency synthesizer with one inexepensive IC and a few passive components. Such synthesizer chips are not always available, however, because they are typically single-sourced and are not in stock with parts distributors. The need for a working circuit in a short time and using common parts prompted the creation of the circuit in this Design Idea. The synthesizer covers the US commercial AM(amplitude-modulation) broadcast band. It tunes in 10-kHz steps from 500 to 1800 kHz, but you can scale the frequencies for other applications Design by James B Wood, Inovonics Inc, Felton, CA

Morse Code Beacon Keyer - This circuit stores a single morse code message as bits in an EPROM chip, the message is sent to a relay which can key a CW transmitter. The keyer can output either a one-shot message such as "CQ DX DE CALLSIGN", or a continuous message. The continuous mode is useful for making beacons for low power (QRP) and slow (QRSS) transmissions __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook
Morse Code Beacon Keyer - This circuit stores a morse code message as bits in an EPROM chip, the message controls a relay that keys a CW (morse code) transmitter. An Arduino processor can also be used in place of this circuit, that eliminates the need to build the circuit and program an EPROM. __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook

Morse Keyer - This is not a sophisticated automatic keyer but it is lot QRP to build and to have fun operating it. When the paddle is connected to the DOT terminal, C1 starts to charge. When C1's charge reaches sufficiently high value, it causes the transistor BC157B to conduct and pulls the relay and key the transmitter. __ Designed by K P
