The first RX module which down converts 10GHz to 144MHZ was finally finished today. Initial results were disappointing. However, after some modifications to improve the noise characteristics of the first local oscillator everything is running nicely now.
The conversion takes a while but the result is a sensitive down converter suitable for SSB and FM use. I'm not posting full details of all the changes required at this point. Please get in touch if you'd like to know more and I'll consider blogging further details.
In the meantime I have a few more modules to convert. The RX module has the following model identifiers:
em FM RECEIVER
10.5-10.68 GHz, Synth
P/N 036D S/N 111xxx
