Thanks for the information Stew. Originally I tried it at my parents QTH on 40
meters when I was teenager. Was licensed in 1950 as W1TJQ.
Ideas get lost and time goes by. In the 1920 Hugo Ginsburg ( not sure of his
last name spelling) in a book at the Belfast Library said silicon looked
The SNR is set at the antenna. There is a persistent desire to move the
selectivity closer to the antenna, however
With modern "bullet-proof" front ends, filtering can be delayed and done at
i-f. In fact, with H-mode mixer front ends, the IMD in the following filter can
be more of a
One must remember that the purpose of these filters is to reduce the total
energy presented to circuitry that would otherwise be overloaded by it, or
create crud at any level because of the poor IMD characteristics of the
radio circuits.
I did something of the sort at W4BVV in the 1960's with
Years ago at the W3GM M/M station, Gerry had several crystal filters (50 ohm Z
input & output) in the 40M RX path. As I recall, these were about 20-30 khz
wide (each) and were of slightly different center frequencies so that most of
the 40M CW band could be covered.
I DO remember that they
Hi Bruce
"We know that limiting the noise pick up from more directions of an antenna we
can usually hear better"
Agree, actually the directivity of the receiving antenna is the only place you
can increase signal to noise ratio. More RDF means more directivity (3D)
resulting better signal to
Hi,
I wonder if you could cover the whole band or just the part that
interest *you*. I have a radio now that uses an xtal filter with about a
7 kHz bandwidth on the 20 meter band. Probably those filters can be made
wider with perhaps less filtering action - tradeoffs ya know. The idea
isn't

Thanks Mirko,
Very Good information. What is needed is to reduce noise lower than signals.

160 meters is above the broadcast band. 3rd order should be above 160,
not lower.
lattice filters, many near 9 MHZ. for single sideband transceivers,
are used successfully.
Could take out more noise, than adding.
All the arguments against this could also be used against roofing filters.
Tim,
My single crystal was in the 1950's.
A crystal lattice could take in much of the 160 meter band and be pratical.
Thanks for your input.

Crystal filters are known to have a 3rd order intercept
point. Depending on how many AM BCB stations impinge
on your filter, you could get intermods. Switching
in an attenuator ahead of the filter should help,
if you can stand the increase in noise figure.
