TUNABLE BANDPASS FILTER FOR ALL HF BANDS (160m-10m)

Ing Tasic Sinisa –Tasa YU1LM/QRP GQRP10091

At the beginning of 80 I worked with stations which have rious problems with

IMD products such as FT101B, this was very noticeable on lower bands 7 ,3.5 and 1.8

MHz . In literature I saw very simple tunable bandpass filter designed by M. Martin

DJ7VY in CQ-DL 7/84 which cure IMD problems substantially. Filter have 3 coils ,

double variable capacitors and few toggle switches for the frequency and bandwidth

lection. Filter behaves as a tunable peak filer and inrtion loss is changing very much

with changing operation frequency from less than 1dB to 15dB. Bandwidth and

lectivity is changing very much with operating frequency and becau of that it was

not suitable for u in transmitting systems. When you like to build HF bandpass filters

especially for 50Ohm system problem is how to design them that the realization have to

be a simple as possible. Without appropriate measuring equipments adjustment will be a

nightmare especially with unknown coils or coils with taps. I designed simple tunable

bandpass filter for whole HF and it is one of my favorite RF BRICK-s for design on the

table. It was designed and realized with the next design goal:

1. All HF frequencies (1.8-30MHz)

2. Inrtion loss in range to max 3dB

3. Selectivity at harmonic related band in range of 30dB

4. input/output impedance 50 Ohm

5. coils with fixed inductance without taps

Tunable bandpass filter realization is very simple and compact made in one box bad on

PCB soldering ,it is important to notice that double variable capacitors(both connection)

are isolated from the ground. Inductors are made with toroid core but I tried BP filter

with fixed molded chokes and results are similar except little bigger inrtion loss (e

example diagram for filter 3.5 MHz). It is possible becau working Q in banpass filter is

small and nsitivity to component values is small too. It is possible to realized HF filter

with only 2 coils (for example toroid T50- ) with taps but it is not recommend for un

experienced builders. Filter schematic diagram is at the picture below , toggle switches

S3,S4 is possible to change with one SPDT with one neutral position. It is possible also to

u fixed values for C and L to make filters according to given component values.
