Hello Janne, welcome to the group which, I am sure, will benefit from any contribution you will give. The AD9954 should have the same core of the AD9951. This latter has been used by Giuliano I0CG in his SDR-X receiver, with a clock of 500 MHz. The SDR-X can receive up to the 6m band, so

Hi Janne, Building a DDS with AD9951/4 is easier than you think. I had copied the design by DL5MGD and it was pretty easy and it works fine even though I used only a 400 MHz clock (80 x5). His web page is: http://www.dl5mgd.de/dds/AD9951.htm , since it was so easy I built two of them, one for

Hi everyone, I am a little puzzle with this phenomenon when I run Winrad, may be someone or Alberto can help explain it. My setup is pretty basic, a generic soundcard (running at 48KSPS) with a AD9951 DDS driving a SDR hardware design by YU1LM (74HC4053 + 74AC74). Reception is great with

Hi Alberto, Thanks for the quick reply. I am using a desktop so hopefully my 'line in input is a true stereo one, I will check that. The culprit may be the SDR reciver board too, I will measure the I/Q output to soundcard. Thanks again for the clarification!! 73 de DJ/NM3R - Original

Hi Janne, I have built two boards, one with AD9951 and another with AD9954, since they have the same pinouts, I used an identical PCB design. The most difficult part is line up all 48 pins and solder them, there wasn't that many external parts to solder after that. I agree that using the
