Not satisfied with the 2D2S noise source frequency limit and flatness, I designed a better tube mount. This works very well, being flat within ca. +/-0.2dB up to 200MHz instead of 50MHz, having better matching and better shielding, too.

Trying to make RF switches that do not “spike” (i.e., injecting switching pulses into the RF sigtnal), I created a transformer based PIN diode switch that can also be used as a mixer or modulator. Spikes are gone, but there are some other areas to get rid of.

The next little project I wanted to make was an SWR sensor to protect power amplifiers. I chose the Bruene Bridge circuit because of frequency range and quite good accuracy.
