TRV 10 GHz V3.0
Final version of TRV update 08/2017
52W RF and 0,6dB N/F
|
|
|
New feed horn with Kumar choke and circular to waveguide transformer - SWR in open space -27dB
|
|
|
|
New SSPA made by OK2AQ giving easy 52W RF. New VLNA DU3BU 0,6dB N/F , between TRV and VLNA cavity filter 10,368-10450 MHz.

After first test of EME in ARRL MW 2014 with previous TRV I decide to rebuild new design of box made by AL sheets. First build was RF detector which will allow to see if RF is in the dish presented. This is idea which was tested by Mirek OK2AQ in his EME 10 GHz setup. RF detector connected trough to waveguide is on the end with small horn antenna with minimum gain. Pictures bellow showing details of horn antenna and main feed horn with Chaparral ring and V pol. In the box is WR 90 wave guide switch and VLNA made by DB6NT with N/F 0,8dB
