Gunn Diode Kit

Gunn Diode Kit

CAT NO: DIDACTICECE-LAB-0060

Gunn Diode Kit Description and Tender Specification:

Gunn Diode Kit.
This MICROWAVE TRAINER is designed to study and test lines
and antennas used to broadcast information in microwave
field.
In detail, it is possible to analyze and test the following major
aspects related to microwaves and to their application in
communication systems.
• Microwave generation with Gunn oscillator
• Waveguide Components and Antennas for microwaves
• Assembling and Measurements
This unit consists of a main Trainer and of a set of optional
waveguide Components (WG).
TRAINING PROGRAM:
• General microwave theory
• Characteristics of:
- Microwave components
- Waveguide and flange
- Horn antennas and parabolic reflector
- Reflection and polarization system
• Gunn Diode oscillator
• Gunn transceiver: Gunn oscillator and Schottky diode
• Measurement of direct frequency
• Wavelength measurement: in free space and WG
• Measurement of direct and reflected power
• Attenuation measurement
• Power division and impedance mismatching measurement
SWR and impedance matching
Measurement.
• Use of Smith’s chart for impedance calculation
• Impedance matching
• Signals separation in a transceiver system and transmitter
protection
• Directional couplers and T-hybrid
• Microwave antennas: gain and irradiation diagram
• Measurement of antenna gain:
- comparison method
- method of the two antennas
• Link attenuation
• Passive repeaters (mirrors)
• Doppler Radar with different antennas: it is possible to
observe the relationship between the object speed and the
received doppler signal
