Title: RF transmitter questionss Post by Giorgos on May 18th, 2013, 7:38am http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a578/fovos1/P5181092_zps5ee33fa8.jpg Hi experts. I am new in the RF-Field. I am trying to make a RF-Transmitter .. at the time i have a block diagram like this one of the picture. There is a problem with the output o first mixer..the input 10khz baseband is so near to L.o freq and the filter cannot cut all the interferences... so maybe i must upconvert the 10khz to higher with one mixer more and the use the mixer ZAD6 ..but i thinkg i will have problem with filters bandwidth... maybe the solution of SSB is better after mixerzad? Looking forward for your reply! :) |
Title: Re: RF transmitter questionss Post by RFICDUDE on May 20th, 2013, 6:59pm The 10kHz IF is a problem because the 30MHz filter does not provide much rejection of the 30.020MHz sum mixer product (fin+flo). You would, at least, want the sum mixer product to be in the stopband of the 30MHz filter. So is it possible to have the transmitter put out fc=70kHz and tune the LO to 30.07MHz? |
Title: Re: RF transmitter questionss Post by Giorgos on May 23rd, 2013, 5:29am I cannot make the output 70 Khz. i have one output for the DSP and it is an analog 16QAM siganl. Can i use 90 degrees splitter and then a I/Q Modulator.? Maybe if i have I and Q output signal at my dsp (baseband) what i do next to upconvert it? and I/Q Modulator?> :-/ |
Title: Re: RF transmitter questionss Post by RFICDUDE on May 23rd, 2013, 5:25pm Hmm, how fast is the DSP? If it is not fast enough to raise the output to 70kHz then I guess you will have to find a way to split the output and shift one of the two paths by 90 degrees before using an I/Q modulator to implement a SSB modulator. I'm not aware of a commercial 90 degree phase splitter at such low frequencies. You will have to implement the 90 degree IF phase splitter yourself. A RC polyphase phase shifter should be implementable with discrete circuit components. Although you will need two mixers and a phase splitter for the the LO signal too. |
Title: Re: RF transmitter questionss Post by Giorgos on May 24th, 2013, 12:02pm The dsp cannot have ouput up to 15khz. but i tried today and i make I AND q OUTputs for dsp. the outputs are analog baseband signals with bandwidth of 8.5khz. then i will put them in a i/q modulator right? what would be the result of the modulator? :) |
