Single side band generator for the longwave transmitter


Uses the phasing method for ssb generation. CMOS logic integrated circuits ( D type and J-K type flip-flops ) produce the rf phase shift; a passive R-C phase shift network takes care of the audio phase shift. Plessey SL640 mixers are used. The prototype is shown undergoing tests. It is now fitted inside the transmitter case at the rear left. When it's connected to the PC soundcard, data, encoded as audio tones, can be transmitted.
