News:

October, 2019:
A couple of pages about determining unknown ferrite characteristics, a description of my VNA (non-)repair, some measurements on coaxial relays switching times, a power splitters page.

August, 2019:
Added initial pages about a cheap 144 MHz / 28 MHz transverter, a 20 dB directional coupler, a 20 W HF PA, a RD15HVF1 push-pull PA, reorganized the Hermes-Lite pages and added some new data on the Hermes-Lite v2. Small updates to the GPIB disk emulator page, SMA female calkit coefficients and graphs pages.

October, 2017:
Added more measurements on (pseudo-)PIN diodes, a page on diode power detectors and measurements on the N2PK bridge using an alternative transformer.

September, 2016:
As usual, there were lots of updates in the past few months, that were not listed in this News section. Main ones are: characterization of a large number of (pseudo-)PIN diodes and of a wideband RF switch at HF, measurements on common-mode chokes for the HF band, updates to the Hermes-Lite SDR RX characterization.

January, 2016:
Lots of updates in the past months, here is a brief summary of the main ones: several HF PA drivers added to the RF power amplifiers section, a new page about the Hermes-Lite SDR, updated measurements on the HF Class-A PA.

August, 2015:
Updated the wideband bias tee page with more measurements and some improvements to the previous design.

Welcome!

In these pages you will find some material related to my amateur radio activity; IN3OTD is the call sign assigned to my amateur station in Italy.
I hold also the call sign DK1CG in Germany and in the past I held F5VMW in France.
To me, being a ham means mostly experimenting with radio-related electronics circuits and devices and I hope that the material you will find here will be useful also for your projects.

Added several new sections:

Site overview:

There are several (overlapping) sections, where I add new material every now and then, when I find something I think could be of interest also to other hams:
