As long has there has been some show and tell lately, here is my newly
updated webpage showing my work (so far) on my 10 GHz transverter. Just added some block diagrams for my next projects...transverters for 1296, 2304 and 3456 MHz based on the W1GHZ Multiband transverters. Comments welcomed!

hey scotty:
Really nice I like the page where you are holding a shell of brew. Now that's my kind of operator. Now that MicroLO board is really sweet it's so large there must be a duplexer on there too, Plus I think I see 5 4 lead devices somewheres on that board with rock bigger than that dime. But tell me this isn't a wideband unit it's just narrow bandwidth? Or maybe your using this for RC control? 73 OM n8zu |

Or maybe your using this for RC control? 73 OM n8zu Thanks for the kind words...yes, the microLO is the local oscillator board for my narrowband 10 GHz transverter. Those "U-Shaped" traces are the filters that select the correct harmonic of the crystal oscillator (1136 MHz in the case of the 10 GHz unit). Those 4 legged devices are MMICs (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) such as MAR-6, MAR-1, etc. They are simple gain blocks with 50 ohm input and output, so they are simple to use (no impedance matching!). The 10 GHz transverter takes a 2M (ie 144.100) signal in and puts out a signal at 10 GHz (10368.1 MHz with 144.100 in)...it basically adds the final LO frequency (10224.000 MHz) to the 144.xxx sinal and sends it out to the antenna. Works opposite during receive. As can be seen on my webpage, I also have a transverter for 902 MHz and am going to start building units for 1296, 2304 and 3456 MHz. All use the same principle of mixing two frequencies to arrive at a third frequency. You can look at Downeast Microwave's site to see all the neat stuff available these days! http://www.downeastmicrowave.com/ 73, Scott N0EDV http://corbenflyer.tripod.com/ |
