RF Power Amplifier: Theory, Design and Practice

This is a document that explains the design and development of power RF amplifiers applied in an Amateur Radio station. An amplifier may possibly necessary to build as much as 1500W of RF output power, the legal maximum in the United states.

40M Band RF Preamp with 3 Tuned Filters

This is the schematic diagram of 40M band RF preamp with 3 tuned filters. Above image is an experimenter's 40 Meter band front end for CW. This has a double-tuned filter and a low gain, lower noise RF amplifier. This is a great circuit for isolation of a product detector or mixer in a popcorn receiver.

VE7GC Popcorn RF Preamplifier Circuit

Right here is definitely an simple VE7GC Popcorn RF preamplifier by Dick Pattinson. The circuit utilizes a single tuned circuit at the front end and can connect straight to a mixer or product detector in a simple receiver project. Note how Dick provided adjustable RF gain control for this circuit in his Wee Willy project on this web page. In case you can not get Tak Lee green 10.7 MHz IF coils, most likely any other brand of 10.7 MHz slug tuned IF transformer would do the job.
