RF mixer simulation in Max
Audio simulation of an RF circuit.
The simulation serves no purpose, but its fun. There are 4 versions. I think the third one sounds best (rf-mixer-sim3.maxpat). Its interesting to hear how much spectral distortion happens from multiplying sawtooth waves.

folder: rf-mixer
patches:
Note: please set the signal vector size to 1 (or as low as possible) and enable overdrive and audio interrupt
Four versions:
- rf-mixer-sim.maxpat (initial attempt)
- rf-mixer-sim2.maxpat (uses sah~ and rate~ objects)
- rf-mixer-sim3.maxpat (uses gate~ objects with a phasor~ clock)
- rf-mixer-sim4.maxpat (bandpass filter on RF input)
Using the NE602
“The NE602 could very well become the RF experimenter’s ‘555’ chip”
From “Electronics Now”, February 1997, by Joseph J. Carr
Note: If you are searching for NE602, try the following variations:
- NE602
- NE612
- SA602
- SA612
As well as any of the above with the suffixes AN, or AD, for example: NE602AN

Regenerative shortwave radio experiment
Circuit design by Ray Ring
The audio is playing through headphones here, so you can’t hear the excellent signal quality
I didn’t have the OpAmp called for in the circuit, so I built this audio amplifier designed by Dean Segovis: http://hackaweek.com/hacks/?p=131
The antenna was a piece of wire about 30 feet long.
An air variable capacitor was used for tuning.
