SDR subject has some specific requirements compared to classic RX/TX design. All SDR receivers as DC (direct
conversion) receivers are sensitive more or less to the harmonic receiving. My SDR receivers including receivers built in SDR
transceivers AVALA series have also sensitivity to harmonic receiving. I made this test at the very beginning but for the very low
frequencies below 2MHz and results was good from my point of view 20-35 dB rejection odd harmonics and more than 35dB even
harmonics, results are comparable with receivers with moderate input filters. I declare that it is possible receiving with my SDR
receivers without input filters and practical experience confirm this but it is partly true. I received very interesting mail from Tim
DJ4JM who told me that had been measured results little over 10 dB lower sensitivity for third harmonic for DR2A+ 7MHz receiver. I
check these measurements again and obtain little better results but only 15dB for third and 34dB for second harmonic. My practical
experiences with all my SDR RXs are that harmonic receiving exist and that it is negligible even with my big antenna such 84m delta
loop is. Receiving at 1.8MHz band I can hardly detect in the evenings hours presents of very strong broadcast stations from 5 and
7MHz band. Only extremely strong carriers are visible and noticeable. Because of that some kind of filter LP (low pass) or better BP
(band-pass) are welcome and they will improve overall characteristics of all previously published SDR RX. The second problem is in
connection with SDR transmission. I published several transmitters/modulators with CMOS switches series 74HC4053, 74HC4066 [1]
and all are working better than any other types I tested before when we are talking about linearity at fundamental frequency. This
realization has specific that modulator is working digitally that mean it has a lot of odd harmonics also modulated of course lower
level than wanted output signal. The problem becomes serious when this spectrum arrives to RF linear power amplifier. To keep on
unchanged output spectrum it is necessary to attached amplifier with extremely wide working bandwidth what it is no true in case RF
amplifier I am using. All used RF amplifiers have limited bandwidth to 60-80 MHz maximum. The final results we have even
harmonics hardly noticeable in output modulator terminate with resistive termination 50Ohms.The bigger problem is products around
output signal which is results this harmonics and unwanted phase shift in RF power amplifier at harmonic frequencies. It is interesting
that odd harmonics not third only as we are expecting but higher order 5, 7 become problem (see spectrum at picture below). Builders
who first assembled my mono-band SDR transceiver AVALA-01 Bodo DJ9CS noticed problems measuring output spectrum from
power amplifier with IRF510. He proposed solution which LP filter which dramatically improve output spectrum see picture below
also. I made changes in all my new designs and added LP as option for RX and necessary part for the transmitters section (see new
version of AVALA-01 and new AVALA-02). Of course it is possible to add BP filters as best solution but also as most complicate for
practically realization. Here down in article there are two proposals for LP and four for BP. All filters are possible solder at PCB
layout ADTRX**AVALA** and Genesis*** transceivers or on separate board with RF power amplifier.

Filters are with maximum IL(insertion loss) lower than 2.5 dB with inductors Qo ~60
All filter components values have to be standard values.
Coils are without taps!
Termination return loss S11, S22 have to better as possible target value -20dB (VSWR=1.22).
Frequencies harmonically related to central frequency from upper side are attenuated ~20-30dB or more. For BP filters this
target value is from the lower side fo/2 ~20-30dB.
BP/LP filters have 50Ohms termination impedance and filters are symmetrical structure and it is not important what is input
or output.
Calculated bandwidth -3dB 5-25% of central frequency
All filter BP/LP variation is possible solder at the same PCB AVALA transceivers
No tune design with low sensitivity to the components tolerance.
Output spectrum at output SDR transceiver AVALA-01 (Pout 35.67dBm (4.2W) without LP/BP at modulator output
Output spectrum at output SDR transceiver AVALA-01 the same conditions as it is on picture up (Pout 38.6dBm (8.2W) )
with 2 L section LP/BP at modulator output

3. A New BP(band pass) filter with 3 coils BP-LP YU1LM

This band pass filter realization is something new. I didnt see something similar in literature ever before. This filter offers very
good performances but it is sensitive to component variation if we like to build very narrow filters. This statement is related to precise
values of C3 and C4 capacitors. Filter is ideal for SMT component use especially for critical components.

BP for 50-52MHz with molded chokes Qo~60, super-selective realization is very touchy to the component variation!
4. BP with 2 coils
This type of filters I published in several articles at WEB pages. Published BP filters were with 3 coils which offer much
more freedom in design than with 2 coils especially if want obtain wider BP this type is very good for narrow BP type. These filters
for wide bandwidth are not so good they have moderate selectivity. It is hard expect more from 2 coils only.

BP with 2 coils the simplest solution ver1
This type BP filters I used several times it simple as possible solution for BP with minimum components but still very useful
realization. These filters for wide bandwidth are not so good they have moderate selectivity. It is hard expect more selectivity from 2
coils and few capacitors only.

5. BP with 2 coils the simplest solution ver2

This type BP filters I used several times it is simple as possible solution for BP with minimum components but still very
useful realization. This solution is similar to BP ver1 original idea for design going from 2m LP-BP from DJ8ES. These filters for
wide bandwidth are not so good they have moderate selectivity. It is hard expect more selectivity from 2 coils and few capacitors only.
