Hi folks, feel free to use this RF Front end for your next radio project. I decided to learn how to use Eagle Cad so what better way than to create a project. I decided to start a receiver project. This is part 1 covering the RF front end. The major components are all from Mini-Circuits. The RF Amp I chose was one that was in my component library, feel free to substitute this part. The design should have a Noise figure around 5dB and OIP of +20 dBm. I will post the schematic file if I can, but for now here is a GIF image. I have also posted this in my blog where I plan to post the sections as I design them. Part 2 will be the First LO which will occur after I figure out how to create a symbol in EC. As the Circuit stands it can be used as a basic frequency translator using external LO.
