Max. RF input power :     20mW          You'll break it with 250mW   )
Bandwidth:   very wide , from under 9GHz to over 13GHz. ( if your pilot signal is not clean, then you need a bandpass filter before the amplifier !  )

Operating voltage :    8.....15 Volt       Typ. 12V     Electricity consumption :    max.  1 Amper
Optional Vcc :      5.8V    (  max. 6.1V )    Consumption:  max. 2A














The inner workings of an amplifier......
During the PCB design, a great deal of attention was paid to good RF performance transmission :    
such as good RF substrate ROGERS material , good ground connections between top and bottom layer , 
hundreds of vias - almost invisible to the naked eye , good low-loss connection to the SMA connector , 
good rapid heat dissipation ,  etc.

about:   382euro



The operating voltage is 8V to 15V , but the module can also be operated with 6V  ( tolerance range 5,9V.....6,0V )
What needs to be done then ?   ....For technicians only !!
Optional:    operating voltage  6V

1.     remove R2
2.     connect....
The same applies to multipliers with power amplifiers !!!























♠♠♠♠♠♠ Multiplier  with  10GHz  Power Amplifier ♠♠♠♠♠♠

This is 98% the same design and circuit diagram , only one additional Hittite multiplier IC has been added.
The inner workings.....


There are two versions.....
1.    Input   1200......1320MHz     ( x8 )        -20dBm ..... 3mW             50ohm
2.    Input   2460.....2630MHz      ( x4 )        -20dBm ..... 3mW             50ohm
No matter what power you give to input ( -20dBm..... +5dBm )  ,   at 10GHz the output is always over 2W 

Output:   9,60 GHz ....... 10,56 GHz        > 2.0 Watt output power in CW mode        & 50ohm

"Conversion gain" :     >50dB

Monitor RF pin:      negative ,      -1.75V  &  2.37 Watt  RF output

Vcc  &  Icc :       8.......15 Volt          1 Amper & 12V        ( optional Vcc:  6V   )



Use purpose: 10GHz signal source, beacon transmitter, CW transmitter, FM transmitter, FMTV transmitter, etc.

♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠ Video level adjuster and 3-way distributor ♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠


VR-100     1Vpp  video level regulator with Matsushita-Panasonic AN302 Chip   ( or replacement type NTE1264 , ECG1264 , SPD1264  )
The previously published circuit ( DC9MD ) does not fully meet the requirements for transmission. Active clamping of 
the video signal is essential for stable transmission , a triple output  free of reflection , finally allows the connection 
of a preview monitor and a control output for a wave monitor. 
This circuit can also be used in the receive path, for example, to amplify the video signal from a commercial 
satellite receiver that is currently receiving a signal from the IC-905 transmitter.








































Regardless of the input video level between 0.2Vpp and 2Vpp , the output will always be the standardized 1Vpp 
Manual fine-tuning is also possible between 0.85Vpp and 1.15Vpp using P1 trimer.
The response time is approximately 0.4 seconds. Low-noise transistors ensure professional data, 
therefore no impact on image quality.

IN-OUT :     75 ohm
IN          :    0,2V.........3V
OUT      :      1Vpp
Bandwidth:   10Hz........8MHz            Enhanced video frequency range:   2,8MHz......4,8MHz

Vcc        :    10.....12V
Icc         :      110mA
PCB size :     55 x 35mm
Available in three options:
1. Assembled PCB without AN302          € 40.-
2. Assembled and calibrated PCB with AN302         € 65.-
3. Pre-installed in the housing, ready to use            € 95.-
The sale starts at HamRadio 2026 in Friedrichshafen in the flea market hall at the HiDes stand.
