47 GHz TRV 2nd. gen and RX test

Measurement results 10/05/2024

Sun - 9,76dB - Moon 1,12 dB

Successful attempt to receive a signal bounced off the moon. Manfred DL7YC used a 2.4m dish and a 40W RF TWT amplifier. On my side the moon noise was 1.12dB. 

Measurement results 05/05/2024

SKY/GND = 2,2dB 

The first attempt to measure the noise of the Sun, Earth and Moon in the 47 GHz band. New device with WR22 waveguide switch used. Transition and feed W2IMU.

TRV v2.0 - IC9100 GPS locked - DB6NT - 2,4m solid dish - SSPA driver 1W DB6NT,  VLNA - 1,8dB N/F EB3FRN - 22dB gain, WR22 waveguide switch

TRV 47 GHz including LO, WG WR22 switch -WR22 isolator in RX way installed in the feedpoint of 2,4m offset	TRV with switch is installed on 2 axe table for better phase point finding
