40 m Band Direct Conversion Receiver


Posted on Dec 17, 2012

Building a practical and usable direct conversion receiver for the 40 m CW band is not as simple as it might appear. Broadcast station signals from the adjacent 41 m band, will easily overload most direct conversion mixer designs with their unwanted (and quite nearby) S9 +40 dB signals. My solution incorporates a diode-ring mixer and a narrow band rf input filter. These choices result in observed overall receiver dynamic range than that experienced when using an IC mixer module (such as a NE612).
