    Ta7358 HF To VHF Upconverter

    Uploaded by

    Ricardo Fróes
    This document summarizes an upconverter circuit built around a TA7358AP FM front end chip. It uses a 50MHz local oscillator that can be replaced with any oscillator between 50-140MHz which would require recalculating the input and output filters. The input has a low pass filter around 45MHz and runs on a 5V power supply. A transformer was later added to reduce interference. Links are provided to design filter and coil calculators.

    This upconveter is build arround TA7358AP, a cheap FM Front End. This mixer have a climping diode on
    output, it can produce distortin in case of strong signal.
    The 50MHz local oscillator was salvaged from the junk box. Any other oscillator from 50MHz to 140MHz can
    be used, need to recaculate the low pass filter formed by C1, C2 and L2, and output high pass filter (C11,
    C13, C15, C16, L3, L4 and L5).
    The input LPF have a cut frequency arround 45MHz.
    The power supply is 5V, can be from USB.
    The coil winding is not acurate, avoid to use my windings.
    Final board, a transfomer was added to reduce comon mode interference.
