[sdiy] Weaver frequency shifter

[Brian Willoughby]

Do these tuner stages at the beginning and end of the Weaver signal chain end up shifting the frequency band of the content? Would this help keep all signals within the sample rate? Are these questions moot because of the potentials of under sampling?

It's interesting to note that most quadrature tuning approaches are mathematically equivalent - the main differences being that you're just re-arranging the order of operations. Weavers method isn't doing anything fundamentally different from the Hilbert or phase-shift but it does put a tuner at the beginning of the process which has to be removed at the end.

I was looking at Weaver's or "the third method" of SSB generation relating to an SDR discussion at work the other day, and it looks like a good candidate for a modern DSP implementation.
