Target - Internal view - Scalar broadband measurements - Pout versus Pin measurements à 10.37 GHz - Noise/gain measures (for the fun) - Linear buffer following an HP 8350 sweep, for 10 GHz 200 mW amplifier measurements with Pin about 200 mW (as 2 meter TRx + DB6NT transverter alternative)

Buffer for HP 8350 sweep Why ? -Testing any 10 GHz post amplifiers well matched for the DB6NT output - Building easily the P1dBc curve of any 10 GHz post amplifier requiring 200 mW input, (impossible with only the normal transverter + 144 or 432 MHz rig)

- The HP 8350b + HP 83590a RF plugin is only able to give +17 dBm max leveled power - Power of a DB6NT transverter à 10 GHz only restricted to +23 dBm max output
