A little bit about the nodes of the transceiver.

The mixer of the transceiver is assembled on the chip multiplexer FST3253, this microcircuit allowed to realize very good parameters. Such as the dynamic range of "clogging", a good suppression of the carrier signal which is more than 90 dB. And in a direct link (without phase-shifting circuits) with a frequency synthesizer on SI5351A, the minimum phase error, in the entire amateur frequency range (1-30 MHz)

At the input of the mixer, the signal from the antenna passes through the bandpass filters (BPF). Then, the signal is amplified from the mixer and goes to a low-frequency phase shifter of the 8th order in which the non-working sideband is suppressed, at least 80 dB.

In all low-frequency paths, film capacitors were used, this allowed obtaining very high characteristics of the device.

After the low-frequency phase shifter, the signal is fed to an amplifier with adjustable gain, which is set by the optocoupler participating in the AGC system circuit. Then the signal passes through the low-pass filter which is implemented on the chip MAX74000, before and after which additional low-pass filters are installed on the operational amplifiers. Then the signal amplifies and comes to the AGC amplifier and low-frequency amplifier, made on the chip LM386.

For transmission, the transceiver operates in the same way, but in the opposite direction, bypassing some nodes that are not involved in the transmission. The generated signal is fed to a high-frequency power amplifier made on the AD8009 chip (driver) and the output transistor RD16HHF1.


The transceiver is controlled by the microcontroller STM32F100. The program part for it was developed by our colleague and my friend Yuri (UT5QBC). Yuri also took a direct part in the development of this transceiver.
