Here I've build an audio CW-filter based on the circuit from NM0S/4SQRP.
This filter works pretty well. I've done some audio analysis using a cheap soundcard from BEHRINGER and the shareware application AUDIOTESTER.
Here are the diagrams. I used the sweep function to perform a transmission measurement: Soundcard-Out --> Amplifier-In and Amplifier-out --> Soundcard-In.
Here the soundcard itself - input/output connected:
more or less a flat response.
Now the reponse of the first lowpass filter (Between C2 and R4) ![]()
After the second lowpass filter (Between C3 and R6) ![]()
After the third lowpass filter (between C7 and C8) ![]()
And after the final high-pass filter (between C11 and R12) ![]()
The final LM386 amplifier also does some frequency correction, so that the final response of the complete filter is ![]()
Please refer to the original schematic for the part numbers.
