WSPR Beacon Ideas for UHF
This is an early design sketch of a UHF (70cm - 440 MHz) WSPR beacon. This design comes from Ismo (OH2FTG). Key Points 10 MHz OCXO TCXO powering the Si5351 module instead of the usual 25 or 26 MHz 0.5 ppm TCXO. Si5351 generates 217 MHz output, which we double to ~434Mhz using the https://techlib.com/files/diodedbl.pdf technique. Use 440 MHz SAW filter at the output (from LCSC) Modulation is continuous phase 4-FSK, with 1.4648 Hz tone separation. ...
