Cubesat Linear Transponder at Tokyo Ham Fair

William Leijenaar, PE1RAH, will be demonstrating his Cubesat linear transponder at the JARL Tokyo Ham Fair in August

William PE1RAH was responsible for one of the 435/145 transponders used on the Amateur Satellite VUSAT (VO-52) and last year he developed a 300mW PEP linear CW/SSB transponder that would run from a 3.6 volt battery and was small enough to fit into a Cubesat .

In a posting to the AMSAT Bulletin Board he writes:

Last weeks I have been working on a testboard for the very small linear transponder system that I have designed.

I plan to be at the JARL Ham Fair in Tokyo, Japan on 22nd and 23rd August, where I will present my tiny linear transponder to the ham people.

I will be in Japan from 15th August till 27th of August.

When some University Cubesat group in Japan is interested in my transponder design I can give a demonstration and presentation. Only serious parties please.

Please see some older movies about my transponder design on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/pe1rah

73, and maybe see you on Ham Fair Tokyo,

William Leijenaar, PE1RAH
