  1. Software Defined Radio How I learned to love DSP Tom McDermott, N5EG October 2, 2008

  2. How we’d like to build a software receiver 7,021 kHz 1 kHz • Problems: • A-to-D Converter in our PC only samples at 48,000 samples per second. • We need > 16 Million Samples per second. • ADC in our PC only has 80~85 dB dynamic range (about 14 effective bits). • We need > 130 dB of dynamic range (about 22 effective bits).

  3. 7,019 kHz 1 kHz 1 kHz 7,016 kHz 4 kHz Problem: Hears both upper and lower sideband at the same time. QRM!QRM! Direct Conversion Receiver Mixer 7,024 kHz 4 kHz 3 kHz Low Pass Filter Audio Amplifier A-to-D Converter + DSP 7,021 kHz 1 kHz 1 kHz Solution: Analog mixer downconverts RF to Audio. We can sample at low rate. Low pass filter limits bandwidth (helping dynamic range) VFO 7,020 kHz

  4. 1 kHz 1 kHz (inverted) 7,024 kHz 7,024 kHz 4 kHz 4 kHz 7,021 kHz 7,021 kHz 1 kHz 1 kHz 1 kHz 1 kHz 7,019 kHz 7,019 kHz 1 kHz 1 kHz 1 kHz 1 kHz 7,016 kHz 7,016 kHz 4 kHz 4 kHz I 90° Phase Shift Q 3 kHz Low Pass Filter 90° Phase Shift (The PC can do this in software) Single-signal Direct Conversion ReceiverUsing the Phasing Method 1 kHz Mixer 3 kHz Low Pass Filter Solution: Two analog mixers using phasing technique downconverts RF to Audio. I = In-phase VFO, Q = Quadrature phase VFO. Use PC Left-audio-channel to digitize I Use PC Right-audio-channel to digitize Q. VFO 7,020 kHz

  5. Softrock receiver implementation Tayloe Mixer I Left LPF I* Audio Amplifiers LPF Q Right LPF Q* 270° • Low Pass Filters: • Need to filter < ½ the computer soundcard sample rate. About 20 kHz for 48,000 sps. • Provides + 20 kHz and - 20 kHz, or total 40 kHz wide spectrum without tuning the VFO (the computer can do it all in software). • A 24 bit soundcard works much better than 16 bit. • A 192,000 sps soundcard and 80 kHz LPF would give ~160 kHz spectrum without tuning the VFO. 180° 90° 0° 4-phase VFO 7,020 kHz Softrock transmitter is just the inverse.

  7. Building & testing the kit – a portion at a time • Installing parts one section at a time. • View of board top and bottom after each step. • Test each portion after that assembly step. KC0WOX: Let's Build A Softrock 40m/80m RXTXv6.2

  8. Phasor Phaser A SINE wave is the vertical component of the rotating phasor. A COSINE wave is the horizontal component of the rotating phasor. Whether the phasor rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, any single view looks identical for either. Thus: any one waveform is the SUM of ½ the positive frequency plus ½ the negative frequency. It’s why mixers give us sum and difference products. If we know both components over the same period of time then we can tell which direction the phasor is rotating. Now we have one, not two frequencies, and separate USB from LSB. These are the I (In-phase) and Q (Quadrature-phase) components. Q sin q (Euler’s formula, 1748) q I cos q
