Being involved with ham training, I have been doing all the techical demos
including AM & FM (Sigen), but I was ask to do a SIMPLE demo of SSB generation
which my siggen can't do. As I only have a wide 50kHz bandwidth filters in my
spectrum analyser scope adapter & wanted to show the sidebands etc, normal
comms SSB is out, so I came with this set up....

I cheated with 100kHz for the Audio to solve the analyser display problem. I
initially built from junk on just 2 BNCs, but I soon boxed it up. Diodes D1 & 2
are any small silicon type, I did find proper mixer types better (more linear)
but could only handle low level, but my scope was happier with larger signals.

T1 is a medium sized ferrite bead 6mm dia with 2x 8 turns (bifil) wound on it
with the centre tap (opposite end of each wire) earthed.

The filter I had is a 7.5kHz wide one (narrower than the spectrum analyser
resolution) & it is totally unmatched, but works well with only a 68� to
equalise the loss for filter bypass (DSB) mode.

AM can be displayed by off setting the balance of the mixer with DC.

I found the Scope display worked best with 1-10kHz AF & the Spectrum display
with 100kHz AF as this gave clear sideband signals (& distortion products in
course) & it was easy to select either upper of low sideband with �100kHz off
set of the RF signal generator.

Why don't U send an interesting bul?
