DK7IH – Welcome to “Old School” radio engineering!

This presentation is about “hardware defined” radios. Although I think that SDRs (i. e. Software defined radios) are a great invention, this website is dedicated to the “old school” style of building ham radio transceivers. In spite of the fact that there are some highly innovative designs on the market like building a relatively cheap amateur radio transceiver by using an 8-bit microcontroller as part of the radio frequency circuits, In my opinion a “real” radio must have filters, mixers, low-level amplifiers and other “old style” stuff. So let me invite you on a trip back to the 1970s and 80s, when engineering a radio was more about the knowledge of circuits than about computers.
