As was the custom many years now, even this' year, this weekend, we held the amateur radio exhibition called "the two days of the microwave." Appointment
special and unique, almost a "full immercion" test, measurement and testing equipment and testing devices (transverter, PA, preamplifiers, filters, antennas, etc.., Etc. ....) and everything that makes microwave ! The measuring range starts from 1 GHz to rise, this choice was dictated it would take away space and / or overlapping with the Terni symposium dedicated to the V / UHF even though the spirit of 2 days differs from Terni to the 'non-competitive aspect of the event but the sheer technical meeting aimed at verifying and finalizing the arrangements in the OM participants.

The ability to have professional tools, spectrum analyzers, noise figure meters, frequency synthesized microwave generators, sweep, network ... maybe up to 47 GHz, it is not something every day and accessible to all the microwave! For this it is necessary, at least once a 'year (as the precepts of the church ...) to verify their results, often achieved with more or less empirical methods, with those measured by the most reliable and accurate. Then, it follows that all the group of microwave Ancona (as someone called them years ago, bringing the greetings ...) went to Bagnara di Romagna with its "prototype" (someone finished during the night) in the arm to make measurements, add something to , to revise, improve ... always interesting and useful.
Describe the various tests, devices, measures would be too long a speech, I refer you to the photos on 'Picasa .
