G6ALU 20W AMPLIFIER

 

Some photos with a Spectrum Analyser connected to IF Board (Tx Mode, 16KHz Sinusoidal Signal / 1Vpp injected into the Input RX Right AF/TX)
10,7MHz signal with its harmonics, Spectrum Analyser connected Before the Crystal Filter.
10,7MHz signal After Crystal Filter, This Filter and L match circuit, rejects rich harmonics generated by mixer.
SA connected Before Crystal Filter, Wide View ~200MHz.
Close View Before Crystal Filter, Local Oscillator signal is lower by about 30dB compared with the products of mixing.

After some modifications: (02.01.2014)
15KHz full power - TX Diplexor
J310 bidirectional amplifier - original version
J310 bidirectional amplifier - with 47 ohms source resistor
2 x J310 parallel - with 2 x 47 ohms resistors
PIC-A-STAR MODIFICATIONS - Schematic

PIC-A-STAR PORTABLE VERSION

-Designed only for 28MHz SSB-CW/ Transverter Operation
-DSP,CODEC and IF PCB's are redrawn to the smaller size: >>DSP/CODEC<< , >>FI BOARD<<
-DL4JAL Controller (LCD 4x20) >>LINK<<
-Clean TX (100mW)
-DDS AD9951 / CLK 400MHz
-I intend to use it for 2m band, especially portable.
