3W HF QRP Linear Amplifier

5 Watt HF CW transmitter - This is a very simple 5 watt CW TX based upon a TTL logic chip. There is just one "tricky" component and this is Cx. This component should have an impedance of about 10 - 50 ohms at the frequency of interest. If you wish to reduce the transmitter power, increase the value of Cx. It is Cx which causes the square wave from the output transistor to approximate a sine waveform. The value of Cx is the price of simplicity in this TX.

Build an Adjustable High Frequency Notch Filter - EDN-Design Ideas: Although you can obtain universal, resistor-programmable switched-capacitor filters that are configurable as notch filters, most cannot operate at bandwidths higher than 100 kHz. Furr,  typically 16to 20-pin packages do not include a continuous-time, antialiasing filter to prevent spurious signals from appearing at  output.
