10 GHz Beacon Project cont.

Now I take the modulated signal at 10368.300 MHz and amplify it to around +15dBm.

This amplifier uses +12 VDC and has about about +25dB of gain. There is a 2dB pad on the input.

Secondary amplifier output. There is a 10dB pad on the input to the analyzer.

I measured the output power at +13.67dBm. Here is the final bench assembly of the beacon.
