The input and output of the ceramic filter are tied together.
Ceramic resonator bfo circuit.
More about making coils.
All about circuits.
Oscillation is near 455 khz stable within a few hz.
Crystal oscillator vs resonator.
Inverters u1d e along with ceramic resonator x1 form a stable 0 5 455 khz oscillator.
The last time i checked i didn t find it on the site but.
It s not perfect but definitely helps tune the if coils in the elenco am kit.
The circuit is extremely stable.
I will try to get some photographs off to hans in the next day or so but life has been hectic over this weekend.
A ceramic resonator will not allow you to move the frequency more than a little.
Ceramic resonators ceralock lead type two terminal csbla series.
Nand gate u2a is the modulator and provides a 100 square wave modulated signal.
I want to make a 455khz tunable bfo without any transformers based on the model on this page.
I built this because at the time i didn t have a signal generator that would perform am modulation.
This i found easier that trying to set it up with the frequency meter.
Turn the receiver off and then on at any time and temperature the bfo frequency is exactly the same.
The filter s center terminal normally grounded is connected to the current limiting resistor.
This circuit was used to stop all the bfo drift.
Just curious for input at this point i m not an egineer so i can t directly contribute to our community with such a pico sized hack.
The following circuit uses a 455 khz ceramic resonator which gives good frequency.
The objectives of if alignment are to ensure that all tuned circuits in the if stages are tuned to the same frequency and that this frequency is the correct frequency usually 455khz.
Perhaps they ll inspire me to build one hhny2all.
In conclusion has anyone any photos of a mini sized bfo circuit built with a ceramic resonator.
Nand gate u2b buffers the original unmodulated signal and its propagation delay ensures that its output is in phase with the output of u2a.

3 used transistor bc548 9 volt supply voltage rf signal is produced with 455 khz ceramic crystal.
I m enthused with your reference to the ceramic resonator bfo you described as well as by the other references in this forum but i m eager to see a pico sized bfo circuit that can accompany my shirt pocket sized grundig pe100.
