Arduino Superheterodyne Receiver

In this project, we will upgrade a traditional shortwave superheterodyne receiver with an Arduino base tuner. This tuner is capable of receiving shortwave broadcasts on 41m band and above.

This modularized receiver consists of a transistor base mixer, I.F amplifier, Si5351 clock generator, and an Arduino Uno board.

This video shows all the steps of this project including, soldering, wiring, and adjustments.

Additional details and all the project files including Arduino sketch are available at http://jayakody2000lk.blogspot.com/20....
