sBitx xtal filter


 

Please give more details on how-to calculate (and build) the 40MHz xtal-filter.
When I calculate values for ladder filters at 40MHz I get a maximum bandwidth of around 10-12kHz.

I did a brute force method.
1. I used a QER filter.? This is an evolution of the Cohn filter that has equal capacitors. It has paralleled crystals in the end points.
2. I started with 4.7 pf capacitors and variable resistors on either side.
3. I swept the filter on Antuino. The bandwidth was too short.
4. I decreased the capacitors to 2.2pf, the bandwidth proved enough (30 khz). I adjusted the terminating resistors to eliminate the ripple.
5. I replaced the terminating resistors with L network to do the impedance transformation.

10 to 12 kc?? would make a nice roofing filter on a double conversion :-)

This is a 30 KHz filter.

Thanks. It's like "The Bumble Bee Myth" :-)
