Re: AM modulated class E amplifier
Hi Reg et al. SSB modulation of the uSDX is very interesting to observe: With Single Tone, we have a near perfect modulation. With Two Tone, we have a high level of intermodulation. My electronic

AM modulated class E amplifier
Pascal's question about SSB distortion in the uSDX+ served to focus my attention on the widely reported problems with severe SSB distortion in the uSDX+. The distortion problem was part of my

Re: Re-engineering the uSDX+ project
Pascal, Thanks for joining. I'm not sure it's great, but it is at least high signal to noise. I'm sufficiently interested in the distortion issue I bought an HP 339A audio distortion analyzer.

Hi Reg, New member here, g¡¯day to all. Have been playing with the QCX-SSB since it¡¯s debut, I realised that I can ¡°gate¡± modulate a zero voltage ¡°drain-source¡± switching mode class E

Re: Re-engineering the uSDX+ project
Nice radio. I didn't know that the Argonaut lived on. It certainly should. As an example, for the filters I plan boards for 2, 4, 6 ,8, 10 & 12 bands. I see no reason that the keypad should be

Re: Re-engineering the uSDX+ project
Very nice. Thank you. I'm already sufficiently familiar with the calculations that I'd just use my pocket calculator (very old school, it the coin cell dies I can use my slide rule), but others may

Re: Re-engineering the uSDX+ project
Please look at how the TenTec Argonaut VI handles the keypad issue. Much less room needed. https://www.rigpix.com/tentec/model539.htm All the seldom used options can be in a menu system. Just my

Re: Re-engineering the uSDX+ project
I have made a 3-D printable parametric solenoid coil form. https://github.com/profdc9/RFBitBanger/tree/main/CAD This may be of interest because it is a FreeCAD model that calculates the inductance

Re: Re-engineering the uSDX+ project
Pluggable band modules make a lot of sense, especially in an experimental radio. I need to look at the 4375 as I'm not familiar with it. The Mega328P has a 15 kSa/s 10 bit ADC. That provides a

Re-engineering the uSDX+ project
I'd like to consolidate this discussion in a single place as multiple lists are getting confusing. I'm quite impressed by the uSDX design concept, though less so about any of the implementations.

Re: Class-E Amplifier Woes
After obtaining a non-smoking dummy load for my little transmitter, here's where the investigation wound up: * Breadboard implementation (no ground plane) * Class D operation into a resistive load

Isolation transformer benefits: superior conducted EMI suppression isolated ground so you can safely use a Variac. Stiff voltage regulator I paid $270 total with shipping and tax for mine.

Hmm... perhaps I'm missing something here.? ? While I have a whole-house protector in the service panel, all I use in addition at my bench is an off-the-shelf consumer device for computer/media

Seems on topic to me. Safety, EMI/EMC and damage protection are key aspects of owning a lab. I have all my lab gear running off a Topaz 2.5 kVA ferroresonant isolation transformer. And everything
