BAS70 RF Probe Circuit

This RF probe is useful for small RF power levels up through the microwave frequency bands, and simply connects to your DVM (Digital Volt Meter). The voltage shown will not be accurate, since this is a rectifier probe (diode probe), but the measurements are good enough for you to be able to determine where the RF stops, or if a stage is...

4 Ports Power Splitter 2.4 GHz

Here is a device called a power splitter (divider/combiner). You can use this to phase four antennas together for increased gain or combine the input/outputs of amplifier for increased power.This 4 to 1 (4-1=4 ports) power splitter work at 2.4GHz. You will use it for stack 4 pieces of 2.4 GHz helical antenna for get 6 dB more gain on AO-40...

1W VHF RF Amplifier 2SC1970 88-108 MHz

This RF power amplifier is based on the transistor 2SC1970 and 2N4427. The output power is about 1.3W and the input driving power is 30-50mW. It will still get your RF signal quit far and I advice you to use a good 50 ohm resistor as dummy load. To tune this amplifier you can either use a power meter/wattmeter, SWR unit or you can do using...
