Familiarizing myself with the Copper Mountain Technologies Planar 804/1 Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). First thing I’m measuring are two 60dB attenuators in series. I did a full two port SOLT calibration with the AppliedEm/AntenX Calkit-8.
Come to Toorcamp next year!
New favorite MIL-SATCOM antenna:
A breakdown of antennas on my vehicle.
A fun case study of co-site interference 🤣
Sweeping with the @tektronixofficial.bsky.social TTR506A VNA ❤️
Finally unboxed the Tektronix 2706 RF Preselector. Can’t wait to sweep it with the VNA 🔜
RF Preselector review:
• Tunable/selectable filter bank that rejects out-of-band signals
• Prevents overload from strong transmitters
• Improves measurement accuracy.

Loving this Zip hoodie @nomadcomplex.com
This is definitely a first for me: Design an op-amp in cadence.
And just like that my PhD is covered 🔥
Indeed not bad for $350 🥰
Definitely loving my order from @nomadcomplex.com 🥰
Worth the 5 hour round trip:
I setup my Harris SATCOM antenna by my VIP parking spot, probably will do the same tomorrow:
Just one more radio…
Bought at Hamvention today from HRO
My OSU counterpart took this photo while we were setting up the FPGA to cook in the Co-60 underwater irradiator. ☢️
Many thanks to my school, Wright State University.
I’m honored to share that I’ve been named the 2025 “Top Graduate Student” for the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering program at Wright State University - Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
Power electronics II: “It’s just another control system” 😅
We’re scopemaxxing today:
This weekend’s acquisition: Tektronix Y400 NetTek Analyzer
Thanks for giving me a bunch of BSODs, driver errors, and corrupting my C:\ drive.
Reinstalled Windows, fortunately I have many backups of my personal and business files 👍
