Thanks for the plug for Siglent and us Charlie, hope the RF gen and scope serve you well. Not sure when Ill be past again but do shout if you need anything further.
Great video, thanks for the always valid and motivating suggestions. I also used a contravers with some logic chips to drive an antenna preselector, this mechanical mechanism saved me from using a microcontroller which could produce unwanted QRM. 😊
Good to hear from you again Charlie. I spent the best part of March in ZL and loved every minute, you are blessed with a beautiful land and a great bunch of people. It was supposed to be a once in a lifetime trip, but it has really made us think about a second go at it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
It certainly makes a difference. Trying to use the spec an TG as a test oscillator was pit of a pain. I'm really happy so far with the sig gen. I can get down to -110dBm with no leakage.
Gidday. I think your referring the two ADF4351 development boards. 35MHz to 4.4GHz freq synths. I've never used them before, so that will be interesting.
Nice to have you back Charlie. Certainly looks like there's some interesting videos to come. A while ago I picked up some, I think they were AD8302's for measuring signal phase but never really got anywhere with them. So I would be very interested to see how you go about building your phase measuring system. M1CEM.
That ADF4351 with the Yellow header has some sort of design problem where the reference clock appears to modulate the internal VFO and the output signal will be full of spurs which are either side of the desired signal at multiples of the clock. Makes it quite unusable especially at frequencies above 2Ghz. I have used another board (designed by a NewZealand guy) that was completely clean of spurs.
Hi there, is it posisable to look at a f band 1 watt rf boundary security radar with a algorithm to identify basic size and distance of object over 50 meter distance along with doplar 360 degree sweeping colliniar array say half a meter square? Would be good alarm to help me deal passivly with some for pukes and possums on my farm. Thanks dude. Andrew Nz
@CharlieMorrisZL2CTM great thanks . After that boundary alarm , I have another cool idea, autonomous internet black out comms. ANTI jamming frequency hopping 3mhz to 30mhz Fsk ssb modem with call tone hand shake, time stamp caller text and basic packet data transceiver . Thanks From Andrew
Hello, my name is Sam. I designed a HF transmitter circuit. And I have a problem with the antenna that I explained in a video. Please let me know if you have a email address to send it to you. thank you Best regards
