Easy-SDR: Open Source Designs for SDR Accessories

Back in 2018 we posted about Igor Yatsevich's Easy-SDR project which consisted of open source designs for a Mini-Whip antenna and upconverter. Igor has now added several new open source designs to the project including a bias tee, LNA, LNA with filtering, attenuator and SPDT antenna switch. On his Reddit post he notes:

The most interesting thing I've added so far:

1. Most of the devices are now prepared for installation in a metal case measuring 80 x 50 x 20 millimeters.
2. Completely redesigned LNA design. Now, Bias Tee powered amplifiers are housed in a 50 x 25 x 25mm metal case and have N-type connectors.
3. Added an amplifier based on the PGA-103 microcircuit.
4. Added the ability to install filters in final amplifiers (a separate printed circuit board, depending on the filter used).
5. Added a new device - SPDT antenna switch for receiving antennas.
6. The UP converter has been redesigned. Added intermediate buffer stage between crystal generator and mixer.
7. RF lines in all devices were recalculated to correspond to the characteristic wave impedance of 50 Ohm.
8. Reduced size of PI attenuator PCB.

In this project, I focused on the simplicity of self-assembly devices, which you can make at home. In the repository, you can find detailed assembly instructions, a list of necessary components for assembly, and GERBER files.
