- Here's something for those folks who are experimentally inclined and own a
- TAPR TNC1 or TNC2 (or one of the many clones). In the front end of the modem
- is a bandpass filter which uses an MF10 switched-capacitor filter. This
- filter is designed to have a sloping amplitude response characteristic which
- provides approximately 6 dB more gain at the high tone frequency (2200 Hz)
- than the low tone frequency (1200 Hz). It was never clear to me why this
- filter was needed. Its response is more or less complementary to the 6
- dB/octave deemphasis characteristic found in many FM receivers; however, in
- most cases, the FSK signal from the TNC is injected into a microphone jack or
- other low-level input of an FM transmitter. Therefore the signal is likely
- passing through preemphasis circuitry in the transmitter, and the overall
- response of the signal path through transmitter and receiver should then
- already be more or less flat without further filtering.
