Presentation MARS general Meeting May 1st, MARS Clubhouse, 27 Shell Rd., Mill Valley, 19:30
We have a great presentation planned for the meeting Friday May 1st by Rob Rowlands, NZ6J . Hope you can attend.
Spectrum Analysis: Crystal Sets to mm Waves
“Rob, NZ6J, is privileged to work with awesome test equipment from Keysight technologies, aka Agilent, aka HP. But since we all built our first crystal sets we’ve been trying be selective about what we listen to, or measure. Many of our transceivers have spectrum analysis or band scope functions to visualize adjacent activity. Low cost USB dongles and computers like the raspberry pi allow hams to own spectrum analyzers with impressive capabilities. But as the latest wifi technology requires the use of 60GHz “millimeter waves”, professional test equipment is challenged by constraints of noise, bandwidth, demodulation and processing power. This will be a demo oriented presentation without commercial schtick! Bring your handheld, and you can see how it complies with FCC part 97”
