10 GHz beacon
setup
This consists of a pulsmodulated 1152 MHz LO source, with a 96 MHz xtal as startfrequency, an amplifier with BFR96, 2 * BFQ34 and a SRD multiplier.
A 2 pole bandpassfilter on 10368 MHz and a 30 cms parabolic dish with a dipolefeed completes the beacon.

The beacon is build with DMC surplus RF parts. An DRO locked with a PLL on 23.7 GHz is mixed with a pulsmodulated LO around 348 MHz to make a frequency in the 24048 GHz band.
This signal is filtered and amplified to a level of 100 mW and terminated with an isolator. The antenna is a 30 cms parabolic dish with a dipole feed.
