3.7m solid dish with f/D~0.4. Home made automatic Az/El tracking (http://f5jwf.free.fr/tracking-system.html) All radio parts inside the TRVT box located in antenna focal point Powered with +48VDC from the shack Siemens RW1127 TWT and switched mode power supply also in TRVT box Remote Control and Monitoring System (RCMS) based on Detlog allowing measurements of Power out, PSU and temperature Local Oscillator made by DF9NP synthetizer adapted with Modbus interface Modbus serial communication between TRVT and Shack

UT-141 directional coupler > >

Directional coupler built with UT-141 semi rigid cable Design based on paper « a 50:1 bandwidth cost-effective coupler with sliced coaxial cable » http://f5jwf.free.fr/datasheet_fichiers/coupler_with_sliced_coaxial_cable.pdf

> > > > >

This method allow easily coupling factor of 25…40dB with excellent directivity Lower coupling factor decrease rapidly directivity The shield of the 2 coax have to be drilled over at least lamda/4 The depth to drill depends of the coupling requirement and is given by fig3 below. Drilling can be done either by hand or with small drilling machine
