Belthorn XTal Filter

STATUS: testing

  • Ceramic caps didn't work very well:
    • Low Q factor
    • high tolerances
  • Refitting with styroflex caps, but I'm missing some values.

2014-03-27: Built new filter, works ok (Currently testing with VNA)

Bridge for N2PK VNA

STATUS: DONE!

reconstruction filter and amplifier for AD9951 DDS

STATUS: ready for testing

  • Need to caracterize the filter and test the MMIC amplifier.

Tested at RCL. Filter is ok. Amplifier oscillates.

2014-03-28: Refitted the MAR-8 bias resistor with 100 Ohm (was 10 Ohm, oops). Also installed the 3dB attenuator at the MAR-8 input. Should operate at somewhere 7-8V now.

VNA fast detector board

Plan: to redraw the fast detector board with kicad, and order PCB's with OSHPark.

AD9850 DDS VFO

STATUS: writing software.
