Software Defined Radio Experiment with 10GHz microwave digital transmission over a highly-obstructed 120 km path with 500 metre hills. The receive path is via a remote WebSDR receiver.
The receive path from the webserver to my web browser feeds audio to the default Windows output, then Audacity takes that as a loopback input and echoes it to a Virtual Audio Cable and into a second instance of WSJT-X on the same machine.
This is all very silly, but it means I can do detailed path quality tests and other experiments in the middle of the night without needing someone else to operate a radio at the other side of the Pennine hills. Mow Cop WebSDR is a marvellous resource for this sort of experiment.
Normal machining service will be resumed in the next video, but this is a real use of some of the parts I've machined.

I've never been loud enough on 144 MHz to hear my own echoes, but I've worked a few of the bigger stations on there with a single non-elevating yagi. The 3 metre solid dish on 10 GHz should work well even at 22 watts. I have some GaN MMIC SSPA devices that should do 37 and 45 watts on 3cm, and some Wavelab units that I hope to pair up and run at higher voltage to get 2 x 4 watts on 24 GHz. Also I have some 80 watt GaN HEMTs for 5.7 GHz, and plenty of power on the lower bands, so there should be fun times ahead. I don't think I'll get the 70cm array built this year, but I've been laying the prepwork for an 8-yagi EME array with welded open-wire feeders and a big watercooled NEC PA that can run full legal limit 24/7 without breaking sweat. Looking forward to hearing my first moon echoes for sure.

@MachiningandMicrowaves
@MachiningandMicrowaves 2 года назад
Hi Bren, 70cm is an excellent choice for EME, I made an elevation table and clamp setup for a 70cm EME system last year, and the op I made it for came first worldwide in the ARRL EME 70cm single band contest, so although I don't operate on 70cm, I feel a bit of an affinity for it. I've just been making the Tellurium Copper double-ended spigots to fit into the 2.1 mm bore of some 3.0 mm copper tube to extend the tube through a hole in the wall of a coaxial low pass filter cavity, maintaining 50 ohms, then transitioning to 2.37 mm to fit into the socket on the rear of a Radiall N four-hole panel plug, so there's no discontinuity, but running the Colchester at 1800 rpm after 10.30 pm is a bit antisocial. However, the neighbours had builders in today, laying some paving, and they spent the entire day either using a horrifically-loud Wacker plate or shouting at each other or into their phones. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO FILM SOME QUIET AND DELICATE MACHINING. So I don't feel at all bad about keeping them awake until 3am, but the other neighbours are innocent bystanders, so I'm giving up for the night. Plus I'm at the Day Job tomorrow, which is an awful prospect. I'm just buying a whole crapload of electroplating chemicals, anodes, cleaners, ultrasonic tanks, bubblers and the like to do a load of silver and gold plating and copper electroforming. This is for an upcoming series of videos which I'm naming Project Swordfish. If I can pull it off, this is going to be huge, and I mean properly huge. It's the sort of thing I could do a crowdfunder for, but I'm under a NDA so can't say what it's about at all. Secret Squirrel has nothing on me...

There's also a project going on trying to get some equipment made that will allow EME on 47 GHz, as if 10 and 24 GHz aren't hard enough. A normal Kuhne 47 GHz G2 transverter has a noise figure around 6dB at best, but a team in Spain have developed a 2dB NF VLNA and are working on a multi-watt PA. I have a new 2 metre solid dish that should work well on 47 GHz, probably better thanthe 2.4 offset which has four petals or the 3.0 whcih has eight. When you need surface precision better than half a millimetre, petals just don't work. Trouble is, the 3dB beamwidth is only 0.2 degrees, which is smaller than the moon, so it's really too large, but the theoretical gain is 58 dBi, which is kind of radical. I'm having so much fun they' are bound to make it illegal. Neil

I started laying out a board with a 2594 in 2019 but other projects pushed it to the back of the priority list. I'd already purchased the 0402 chokes and caps for the power supply pins. It is probably better than the ADF5356, but I got sidetracked by trying to build a twin-cavity VCO machined from solid copper with gold plating and using a reverse-DDS design with an AD9912, but the DDS board and other parts are still in boxes. I need to retire from the Day Job so I can spend more time in the lab and machine shop and less doing boring cybersecurity

But beware, earlier ones did supply a fairly good 100 MHz ref, but newer kits omits these, but still demads the same price. Shame!

All of you that are slightly intrested in the radio side of this, dive in, get a license and start fiddeling around, to build antennas does not have to be this complicated and high precicion, just start on another band, on 2m you can fabricate antennas with an axe and scrap metal and still be within tolerances. On shortwawe, it is even less critical. Microwawes are a challenge, and tolerances are small, so that's not as beginner friendly.

I've held a ham licence since 1973 and it's given me the opportunity to carry out an enormous range of experimental work including moonbounce, meteorscatter, passive reflection form the International Space Station, aircraft reflection, rain/snow/hail scatter, troposcatter, tropo ducting, sporadic E, auroral curtain reflection, chordal hop ionospheric refraction, hearing my own transmitted signal after it's been right round the world or across to the opposite side of the auroral oval, communication via amateur satellites, TV transmissions, radio data networking, ground loop antennas, balloon-supported and kits-supported antennas, bistatic radar experiments and antenna lenses. That experience has also let me into the work of Deep Space Network receiving, VLF and ULF signals at 8.27 kHz and below, 10 THz long-wave infra-red comms and visible light comms including cloud-bounce and non-line-of-site comms via atmospheric dust and reflection from distant structures. Then into running a Rubidium clock reference and multiple frequency and time references and building up a collection of HP/Agilent/Racal/Fluke test equipment. I have a lot of fun using extremely low power signals, the best performance so far on 10 GHz is 21200 miles per watt and on 20 metres I've managed about 40000 miles per watt. I have equipment for frequency bands on 136/472 kHz, 1.3, 3.5, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 24, 28, 50, 70, 144 and 432 MHz and 1.3, 2.3, 3.4, 5.7, 10, 24, 47 and 122 GHz, and I have plans for 76, 135, 241, 248 and 288 GHz. Ham radio helped me get some of the jobs I've had over the years. Some folks think it's about talking to people on the radio, but I've always seen it as a licence to carry out radio transmission experiments that the general public cannot do legally. It's kept me fascinated for more than 50 years.

@MachiningandMicrowaves
@MachiningandMicrowaves 2 года назад
Main issue with the 4351 is phase noise. The shoulders out to +- 100kHz with the standard PLL filter components ends up not much more than 40dB down. That makes you unpopular in a heavily-populated area of 10 GHz users. If you have a sharp dish then it's fine. Noise of a good crystal multiplier chain is hugely better, but then you need to consider how to stabilise the frequency enough. Weak signal work really needs better than 10Hz stability. It's worth looking at the bypassing caps around your 4351 and the quality of the grounding and separation of analog and digital paths, also using super low noise regulators. If you can elevate your dish and it's 3ft or more, you should be able to hear the DL0SHF moon beacon on 10368.025 +- doppler when you have common moon visibility.

Hi Bob, I use a pair of ELAD FDM-DUO SDRs which have 16 bit ADCs and are very linear from -135 dBm to about -20 dBm, which is a good range, but then they are fairly expensive devices. They will only go down to about 8 kHz, and the performance is definitely not sparkling below 18 kHz or so. They use 122.88 MHz clocks so are good to 50 MHz, but above that, the sin-squared relationship starts to bite, so they lose sensitivity above 70 MHz and then are using aliasing above 140 MHz, so need a lot of filtering and a preamp. Below 50 MHz, they are excellent. I also have a lot of other SDRs, some of the simple dongles, a genuine Malahit (20 kHz to 2 GHz) and a Hermes-Lite. Below 15 kHz, the performance of many SDRs falls off, mainly because of coupling capacitors or transformers, but I ten to use a PC sound card as an instrument for audio troubleshooting. My spectrum analyser will go down to 1kHz as well, but not to DC. DC-coupled SDRs will work right down to DC so long as you adjust for the DC offset. I think the trick involves removing the DC bias choke and blocking capacitor and using the dongle in direct sampling mode of the Q-branch, but I've never tried. I think I'd go for an upconverter using a very good quality high-level mixer and feed that though filters to the dongle. Or just buy an old Wandel and Goltermann Selective Level Meter, like I ALMOST did in a recent auction

At the moment there is probably more interest and action and experimentation on 122 GHz than 10 GHz. Activity tends to follow interesting propagation enhancements like tropospheric ducting events, which happen more in the summer, but there are regular activity sessions across Europe and the UK. Summer thunderstorms raise a lot of activity as rainscatter and hail scatter allow communication over 600-800 km via Rayleigh and Mie scattering from hydrometeors. There are significant number of folks with 10 GHz stations capable of communicating via reflection from the Moon. That's pretty cool, right at the edge of what's possible from a communications system you can build at home. I'll do some vids on the build of my new 3 metre and 2.4 metre solid dish systems over the next few months. Lots of folks are using 10 GHz on receive from the QO-100 geostationary satellite launch by Qatar, which you transmit up to on 2.4 GHz. It can carry amateur digital TV modes as well at all the usual voice, Morse and FSK/MSK digital modes. In recent days I've been doing tests with a friend over in Wales on 10 GHz, using rainscatter, snowscatter, troposcatter and aircraft reflections. He is using just 140 milliwatts to a horn antenna INSIDE HIS HOUSE, 100 miles from here, and there are several 1500 ft hills in the path. I just made a short video about some experiments using digital modes using a remote unattended receive system in Staffordshire, over the hills from here in East Yorkshire ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y9qyj5Ko6pM.html

I think there is a lot of fun to be had using the satellite, with wideband data for instance, but doing a loopback test with WSJT-X is very simple if you have two radios or a full duplex system. I've never tried it. You need to do the trick to set up a shortcut to run the second WSJT-X instance with a different name. There is a planned project to create a simple kit for a receive package that will connect from a head unit consisting of an omnidirectional antenna and LNB feeding into an SDR dongle and a processor that can connect over wifi or ethernet to an internet connection. The idea is to make something that will allow anyone interested in radio to join in the fun by deploying a receive node in a similar way to the ADS-B receivers that feed into OpenADSB. The challenge is in how to collect the data streams. If we use the WebSDR approach, there is a tight limit on number of concurrent users. If we use local decoding and send only a decoded data stream to a central node, perhaps on an AWS instance, then we face the problem of what decode software to use and how to arrange GPS frequency lock at low enough cost, or how to decode over a wider range like the MAP65 approach. Then you have to ensure centralised software/firmware distribution and it starts to get complex. If we can get it right, there is an opportunity to do some interesting real-time mapping of propagation and if the timing can be set tightly enough, perhaps even time-of-flight analysis, but that needs timing precision to the microsecond level or decoding at an IF frequency of time pulses from a central reference source, perhaps by locking to the phase of the central reference. Lots of possibilities.

My wife of 34 years died recently after a long fight with cancer, so no, I'm not married any more. For the last few years of her life, I was her carer, as she didn't like medics, seeing as she used to be married to one. I found it hard to sleep at times, and messing about on the radio in the early hours was a great source solace and support. Machiing at 2am does tend to wake the entire village, but radio experimentation can be done in near-silence. Before that, Caroline was very accepting of my weird pastimes and often unsocial hours.
