Low Pass Filter PCB

Instructions

Use only NPO/C0G capacitors. Note the voltage rating. I'm using only 1206/0805 C0G 1kV capacitors.

Photos of results measured with NanoVNA are in /img directory.

Amidon/Micrometals toroids (material 2 and 6) should work out of the box. Alternatives may work too, try them and measure with NanoVNA.

5-6W at lower bands; 2-3W at 10m. Should be driven by 74ACT00 gate for full power.

Use values from (tr)uSDX project, e.g. https://dl2man.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/truSDX_Main-RF_Boards_with_Notes_v1.0n.pdf

Note: for some reason, T37-X cores work better than T50-X (with the same inductance) - reason unknown, but this forces using smaller copper wire.
