In this video I use the digital signal processing from the earlier video:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsMaN1bGWynysVNJgQ9jhQnYDfqz3-Cd8
and build a radio replacing opamps for phase shifting with DSP on the F4. The tayloe detector used is described here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwBk3jIxszI
The code is up on github here:
https://github.com/thaaraak/PyboardRadio
The pyboard is available here
https://pyboard.org/
Note I am not using micropython but rather just flashing from STMCube with
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J7N3RE6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The results were not as good as I had hoped. It looks like I damaged the Tayloe detector board and I wasn't getting the upper sideband suppression I had hoped. I will spin another board and post results

This is a quick update from the original 10W Amp video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBiz594O5LA
In this video I do a number of measurements varying both the input signal as well as supply voltage and graph the results with Python.
I also add a low pass filter design from this site and remeasure
https://rf-tools.com/lc-filter/
Finally I graph the result of increasing the DC bias to the BS170s

In this new series I will be building and testing a low power SDR SSB Transmitter.
The schematics for the transmit mixer (work in progress) are here:

The code is here: (just PTT for the moment - more to come)

This is a followup to my previous video

In this video I continue to play around with the Arduino Audio Tools
https://github.com/pschatzmann/arduino-audio-tools
With a library I have put together for ES8388 codec support
https://github.com/thaaraak/es8388
And here is the codec support that comes with Arduino Audio Tools
https://github.com/pschatzmann/arduino-audiokit
The examples I showed are all here

In this video the power supply, the CW filter and the Audio Amplifier are put together and tested.
The CW filter is a derivative of the HI-PERMITE CW filter kit design by David Cripe NM0S a link to that design appears here:

As I mentioned in the last video I was awaiting a new board that I had redesigned. I build up the Tayloe detector and see if the redesign removes the audio artifacts I encountered last time
