CHEAP CRYSTAL FILTER

In the view of the dramatic drop in the price of crystals used in color TV sets, they now
represent an economical way of building an SSB filter. The circuit shown in the diagram
is for a filter with a 6 DB band width of roughly 2.2 KHz.

By terminating the input and output with a 1 K Ohms resistor in parallel with an 18 pf
trimming capacitor, passband ripple can be tuned down to 2 DB. All crystals used in the
circuit are 4.433 MHz. Collect all the six crystals from same manufacture with same
serial number.
