RF decibel meter circuit ~ electronictheory. Return Loss Bridge for the Radio Amateur. A return loss bridge is a wideband resistive bridge network which can be used to verify the impedance of coaxial cables, antennas, tuning stubs, filters, etc.

Return Loss Bridge for the Radio Amateur

It works by comparing an "unknown" impedance to a "known" impedance, which is usually 50 ohms in radio work. A DC voltage signal is generated which corresponds to the level of impedance mismatch between the "known" and "unknown" impedances. Generally, the higher the DC voltage output, the worst the impedance mismatch is. Return loss bridges are ideal for checking antenna systems as they are simple to build and have a very large RF bandwidth. 30W Digital RF Wattmeter.

Background This watt meter project is very similar to my last wattmeter project.

30W Digital RF Wattmeter

The main reason I made a new project is becasue I needed a unit which could handle higher power than 1W. n2pk_ad8307_power_meter.pdf. Instrument Electronic. Nordic nRF24L01+ Example Code. As can be seen, it uses a PCB antenna.

Nordic nRF24L01+ Example Code

No need for an external one. The maximum distance is greater when using 250 kbps compared to 1 Mbps. The range depends on the "things" between the two Nordic devices. nRF24L01 Wireless Module with Arduino. Now we have a demo show how to use the Arduino controlling the nRF24L01 module , and you need two Arduino boards and two modules, one to transmit and the other receive.

nRF24L01 Wireless Module with Arduino

The connection of two part is the same but the different software. The nRF24L01 module is worked at 3V voltage level , so the Arduino 5V pins may destroy it , so we need to add some resister to protect the module – using the 10K and the 15K resister to reduce the voltage is a usual method. Connect the module pins to Arduino as below: Download the code below into the TX Arduino (transmit) — This code will drive the nRF24L01 module to send out data form 0×00 to 0xFF . Download the code below into the RX Arduino (receive) – This code will drive the nFR24L01 module to receive the data that transmit form the TX module and print it to serial port.

Take all the coolness of the nRF2401+ and add some extra pipelines, buffers, and an auto-retransmit feature. Now we make a breakout for nRF24L01+ , and build the smallest system for it , also the wireless circuit . KAUNE. TF3CY – Benedikt Sveinsson. Building a amplifier like this ground up is quite a task, and requires a lot of commitment .

TF3CY – Benedikt Sveinsson

This started by me needing approx. 1 KW of RF power on 144Mhz for EME use. I originally built a 2M amplifier using a 4cx1000K tube. The tube failed and I had to spend $500 for a new tube.

Meter allows to measure RF power of transmitters in dBm, Watts (nW, uW, mW and W range) as well as input voltage. USB RF Power Meter is based on popular AD8307 watt power meter IC and PIC18F2550 microcontroller. Simply connect it to a PC via USB port and measurement readings will be displayed on a computer using included USB RF Power Meter software. Software settings can be configured to use 10-50dBm attenuator and thus allowing to measure higher RF power. Specifications: Introduction - Sound Card Packet. RF testing – calibration is critical.

K6JCA: More Notes on Directional Couplers for HF.

In a previous post I looked at how the popular "Tandem-Match" Directional Coupler worked. Recall from that analysis:I analyzed the Tandem-Match coupler in terms of "lumped" circuit elements, not distributed elements.The coupler works by taking a sample of the voltage across the transmission line at a single point and a sample of the current through that point. The Tandem-Match Coupler creates both of these samples with transformers.The voltage at the "Forward Port" (that we measure on our meter) is calculated by adding the current and voltage samples.The voltage at the "Reflected Port" is calculated by subtracting the current and voltage samples.The voltage at the "Reflected Port" is 0 when the load is a real resistance equal to the value of the resistors terminating the measurement ports (Forward and Reflected Ports). I'll analyze the original design as well as some of the variants it inspired.
