Weekly Plan 18 August - 22 August 2008

Greetings to the list! My apologies for a bit of delay over the past two weeks. The end of
summer has certainly been a busy time around here, with visits, travel, and getting the
kids (and the parents) ready for going back to school.

I have some updates and document releases planned for this week, which include the
following:

1) Transverter research document to be released with Grayg's updates
2) San Diego surface-mount capabilities described so we can move forward on any
boards that may be available from uWSDR
3) H.264 Advanced Video Codec licensing update from MPEG LA
4) Feed order put together for Kent Britain Vivaldis for experimentation

Welcome to the Microwave Engineering Project development email list! Thanks for
joining. Please forward this email to anyone you think would be interested in the
development of the project.

There is a podcast that you can subscribe to. This will deliver project documents, audio,
and video to you so that you do not have to go check the website for them. They will
appear in the feed reader of your choice.

Weekly Report 28 July - 3 August 2008

This is a weekly report for the Microwave Engineering Project covering July 28 – August 3

 

1) A transverter tracking document was released. Discussion, comparison, and contrast between transverters and SDRs began (and continues) with several team members collecting articles and gaining familiarity with the current state of the art in amateur radio microwave transverters.

 

2) Atmospheric and Ionospheric explorations were proposed as a potential feature of the system.

 

3) Project announcements will run in the Packet Status Register from TAPR, the next issue of DUBUS, the September newsletter for the San Bernardino Microwave Society, and were posted to eHam, the forums at qrz.com, and the Amateur Radio Forums. The next meeting of the San Bernardino Microwave Society is 7 August 2008, where MEP updates will be presented.
