Interdigital Bandpass Filter for 1.2Ghz / 23cm

Β Part of a project on 1.2Ghz that will include this band-pass filter.

Main dimensions got online via the tool here: https://www.changpuak.ch/electronics/interdigital_bandpass_filter_designer.php

Some details of similar construction for different frequency range (ADS-B) here: https://keptenkurk.wordpress.com/2014/11/05/a-homebrew-1090mhz-ads-b-filter/

Β 

My construction:

Β 

Used FR4 double sided PCB for the sides and brass for elements, bottom and top

Β 

Online results example for dimensions:



Β And the outcome:

Β 


Regarding results; not the best optimization for attenuation but not bad either considering the dimensions and construction not to the greatest dimensional andards:




Have a nice day!

VHF Low Pass filter for DRA818V module

Β It is best to use the DRA818V VHF voice transceiver module with a low pass filter.

Since I'm building a VHF/UHF transceiver using the 818V and 818U modules, the VHF low pass filter was missing from the build.

Β 


This design was based from the one here and only some small values changes made , I placed adjustable cap's on the center elements (the 56pF), so used 10-60pF trimmer cap and used 32pF on the ends (10+22pF parallel).Β 

Schematic:


Β After build did some measurement on the spectrum analyzer:

Final iteration of the trimmers:


Β Attenuation at 200Mhz:


Filter shape from 100 to 300Mhz without normalization:


...now I need to finish the remaining of the transceiver..

Β 

Have a great day!
