• Testing my 10Ghz Ham Station with a 10.368Ghz Source

Some final testing and debugging of my 10Ghz ham radio station. This video details my modification to a 10.350Ghz brick oscillator to generate a 10.368Ghz signal source. The oscillator itself uses a TO-5 ovenized crystal at 99.6Mhz. The oscillator is phase locked to the x13 harmonic of this crystal, then put through a x8 multiplier to generate 10.350Ghz. I remove the crystal and inject a RF signal of 99.69240Mhz in place of the crystal to produce the needed output of 10.368Ghz. I can also modulate this brick directly with an external audio source.
My station then downconverts this 10.368Ghz signal to 144.000Mhz (slightly off due to my LOs drift) and is audible on my Yaesu 2M transceiver.
