Reccomend an FM receiver chip for 33cm or for 70 cm Rx.
 
Can anyone reccomend a good small surface mount FM receiver chip that is currently availible?


Is it possible to do FM reception with a Direct conversion RX and some simple DSP?

You can convert directly down to I and Q baseband with two mixers and a
quadrature oscillator, then demodulate the baseband signals with a DSP.

The Analog Devices AD607 would do the trick.........it is an I.F. subsystem
that has I and Q outputs. There isn't much support from Analog Devices on
this one, so you would be breaking new frontiers.

I really like the Philips SA604AD (
http://www-
us.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/SA604AD.html). It's easy to use, it's
got plenty of internal gain, and it works well at a variety of IFs, from
455 kHz to 10.7 or 21.4 MHz.

I've built several decent-performing receiver sections for NBFM audio,
NBFM FSK data, and WBFM (broadcast) audio with the SA604 and various
filters available from Digi-Key.

Naturally, everybody that sells them appears to be out of stock right
now.

I'm pretty sure Philips has discontinued that part.

No, it's in production. If difficult to obtain, find similar products he
