Quickfilter QF1D512

QF1D512

Here is a link to useful FIR engine chip:

They offer a DIP version for experimentation:

Mouser stocks the parts.

QS1R:

The current status is that I am working on integrating the QF1D512 part into the QS1R receiver prototype. I have no new projected availability for QS1R. In fact it appears that interest may be somewhat limited - enough so that it would not be worthwhile to offer assembled units. In that case the design files will be posted from anyone who wants to build a board.

Phil:
I suspect that the problem is that not enough people know about this yet. The two boards will likely be most coveted.

Hi Phil,

I'm interested but I think the project information is quite scarce. I would appreciate a little bit more information about your development progress.
Anyway, if I may help with the sw, let me know.

I would be most interested in the QS1R (and QS1T), and also supporting it in my software too.

So please don't give up on producing hardware, I for one would put my name down for one.

Hi Phil,
I have been following your projects for some time now. I would like to be placed on the list of those interested in purchasing a QS1T/R. Please continue the development of this great sounding project.

I'm sure many people would be interested would be interested if they knew about it. The SDR-14 seems very popular, even with its lower specs and very high price.

History of HPSDR Mercury and Quick Silver

History of HPSDR Mercury and Quick Silver Philip Covington, N8VB Early HPSDR and XYLO In 2005 I started a High Performance SDR (HPSDR) project which was to consist of a motherboard carrying a FPGA/USB 2.0 interface and power supply with the provision for plug in modules through 40 pin headers. I had planned a narrow band high dynamic range module based on a QSD/DDS/PCM4202 audio ADC and a wide bandwidth module based on a high speed 16 bit ADC: http://www.philcovington.com/SDR/PICS/HPSDR_FPGA_USB_Board_top1_800600.jpg http://www.philcovington.com/SDR/PICS/HPSDR_FPGA_USB_Board_top4.jpg I soon selected the LTC2208 ADC from Linear Technology. A representative from Linear Technology came across my blog ( http://pcovington.blogspot.com/ ) and offered evaluation boards and samples to support the project. At about the same time my HPSDR project came about, Phil Harman, VK6APH and Bill Tracey, KD5TFD were interested developing a sound card replacement to be used with the SD...

RFFE1 Why you may (or may not) need it

RFFE stands for "Radio Frequency Front End" and the "1" stands for the first version (0-62.5 MHz coverage). When I was designing the QS1R board, I had to decide whether to include bandpass filtering and RF amplification on the board. In fact the initial prototypes "RevA" included RF amplification on the QS1R board. Unlike another DDC based direct sampling receiver "Perseus", QS1R was designed to be more than a SW receiver. In addition to a SW receiver, QS1R was meant to facilitate experimentation in the RF spectrum up to at least 300 MHz. I finally settled on a 55 MHz low pass filter (which can be bypassed) and no active components in front of the ADC on QS1R. Any active devices, bandpass filters, or attenuation would be added by a separate board such as the RFFE1. The antenna that I use for my QS1R is a center fed, non-resonant dipole at 50 feet. The total wire length is about 240 feet with only about 100 feet of that running horizontally...
