10GHz homebrew

Confession time: I have done very little on microwaves.  My excuse is that, in such a diverse hobby, one cannot do everything. 

Instead, I did some work at 481THz optical with results far exceeding expectations. Test gear was easy to make as was all the actual operating kit.

Many have accessed microwaves with very low cost modules obtainable online. With many of these, the microwave engineering is minimal or non-existent. Many have experimented with ATV at 5.6GHz and 10GHz this way. Several have made wideband FM transceivers at 10GHz this way.
