I used bananas as source of radiation to test detection of radiation by pair of UKRAA Cosmicwatch coincidence detectors – bananas placed on top of detectors. Download my results by…
Jan kindly tested his AD8302 board to see what voltages he gets – and I have similarly tested mine today. Results below. Andy http://astronomy.me.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Testing-voltages-on-outputs-AD8302-board-interferometer-Jon-Lustrup-vs-Andrew-Thornett-260124.docx
Photo of the 2 muon detectors at LRO – they are made by UKRAA and used in coincidence mode (master/slave configuration). Andy
Data from 21-22/1/2024 @ LRO – 5m distance between 2 x Nooelec 1.4GHz 60x100cm mesh aerials

Interferometers need hardware bias tees for SAWBird H+ 1420MHz filters with cascaded amplifiers, (which they also need as AD8302 chip requires certain level power input on SMA connectors to work)…
Correspondence with Jan Lustrup: Hi Andy…. You want to test changes of phase between the ports, not frequency! Use the same frequency generator to a 2 way power splitter. One…

I particularly enjoy photographing the Sun. For this I use following: ZWO 174MM camera. Sky Watcher Equinox 100mm OTA. HEQ5 Pro Mount. Hinode Solar Guider. Daystar Quark Filters = usually…
