22 meter low pass filter design
« on: December 05, 2020, 0433 UTC »
Does anyone have a design schematic for a 13.56 mhz a simple low-pass filter? I can always look at the various online calculators,  but just curious if anyone has a schematic that they like to use/has proven history.  Thanks in advance.   I'm in the process of building/programming/testing a 22 meter WSPR transmitter.

Well, yeah!!!! Just copy the one that I made for this 13.560MHz milliwatt TX,     http://boomerthedog.net/13560.html   Scroll down to the bottom for the two page .PDF schematic, then check-out the Chebychev Filter that's at the end of Q3, and between TP3 and TP4, on the LPF Board. All built from salvaged parts as well. Good luck!!!
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

I would think that any 20 meter LPF kit would work.  There are a number of them designed for QRP from places like qrp-labs.com and qrpkits.com that are very inexpensive.  I would expect that the second harmonic from 22 meters would be as well supressed as would that from 20 meter signal.

Thanks ThaDood and NJQA for the advice.  I absolutely enjoyed reading the hand-drawn schematic you made ThaDood-lots of work involved and good job getting the thought process down on paper.  NJQA- Great minds think alike.  The 20m LPF crossed my mind as well.   Both of you thanks again for your advice and input.
