ladder filters
 

I just got a deal on ebay for 8.3886 mhz crystals (414 pcs for $9.99).
Should be able to make a few good ssb and cw filters out of that!
They look like std microprocessor types (hc49/u holders) though this
isn't a common microprocessor frequency. Guess I'll start with 100pf
coupling caps, any good guess on what the termination resistance might
be? (I'm looking for a bw suitable for ssb, probably about 2.1khz).
Hope this frequency doesn't have any bad mixer products (but I can
always pick either high or low side injection if necessary).

See "Ladder Crystal Filter Design", by J. A. Hardcastle, November 1980, QST
and "A Unified Approach to the Design of Crystal Ladder Filters", by Wes
Hayward, May 1982, QST.

Ken,
While rummaging through my archives, I found a link to the articles I
referenced. Let me know if you want them.

I don't seem to have either QST in my collection (there are a few years
from 1980-1983 I'm missing). So yes thanks!
