GBPPR "Havana Syndrome" Experiments
    UNDER CONSTRUCTION    

Introduction

It appears to be possible to use high-power microwave electromagnetic radiation to induce certain physical effects into a human target.

These effects can include "hearing" tones or voices, or when modulated with a frequency at the mechanical resonant frequency (cranial resonance [PDF]) of the target's skull/brain cavity - physical pain (PDF).  With even higher RF power, it's possible to cause seizures, fever, or even death due to the internal heating of the brain or other organs.

This phenomena has come to be called the "Havana Syndrome."

Supposedly, a similar type of "microwave weapon" system was recently used on CIA Officer Marc E. Polymeropoulos while he was staying at a hotel two blocks from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, Russia.

Other CIA officers stationed in Russia, and then (((State Dept.))) employees, diplomats, war-mongers, and traitors with the U.S. and Canadian embassies in Cuba, started to report similar symptoms of pain, disorientation, and confusion while in their homes or hotels near the embassies.  This also included hearing buzzing, screeching, or "cricket-like" sounds.  Sounds like an X-Files episode...

Caution:  (((Marc Polymeropoulos))) was one of the 51 "intelligence experts" who claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was "disinformation" in order to effect the outcome of the 2020 election (i.e., it has all the earmarks of the 'Deep State' not wanting Trump re-elected).  His mental stability, security clearances, pension plan, and loyalty to the United States should be questioned at all times.

And in an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes for their "Targeting Americans" segment, one U.S. official (Olivia Troye) claimed she experienced these sympthoms within the "secure zone" surrounding the White House during the summer of 2019.  While her claims should be viewed with skepticism (like Marc Polymeropoulos, she's also a brain-dead, anti-Trump, 'Deep State' tool and traitor), it could point to a foreign intelligence service operating on U.S. soil with complete impunity, most likely Israel or China.

Note that calling the effects of these alleged microwave attacks the "Havana Syndrome" is very detrimental to the people of Cuba, who did nothing wrong and only appear to be swept-up in this frenzy.

The new name for people suffering those symptoms will now be called the "Befuddlement, Incompetence, Disorientation, Embarrassment, & Nausea (BIDEN) Syndrome."

But was this REALLY a secret Russian microwave weapon attack?  We don't know...

This microwave radiation "attack" SHOULD NOT be confused with the infamous "Moscow Signal" which targeted the U.S. Embassy, and other intelligence targets, from the 1950s to 1980s (and beyond).

Those relatively low-level microwave carriers between 0.3-10 GHz were used to power resonant cavity surveillance devices planted within the embassy, to extract intelligence from unshielded telephones/microphones/speakers and cryptographic gear via RF flooding types of attacks, intentional jamming of U.S. technical surveillance and intelligence collection systems; like GAMMA GUPPY, microwave imaging of secure locations within an embassy or safe house, and supposedly to even manipulate human behavior.

Update:  National Security Archive has posted a declassified document collection on microwave transmissions aimed at U.S. Moscow Embassy from 1953-1979 and the diplomatic controversy.

It should also not be confused with acoustic weapons, such as the LRAD, which are just basically very high-power directional speakers.

It should also not be confused with the Active Denial System which uses very high RF power (CW) at 95 GHz to quickly increase the outer skin temperature of a human target.

One should note that there is a well-known method of "jamming" audio microphones by generating multiple ultrasonic (out-of-band) carriers modulated with random noise.  These carriers then mix within the electronics of the microphone itself, leaving only the "in-band noise" portion of the signal which greatly decreases the effect of the microphone.  It's certainly possible that sensitive intelligence targets, such as an embassy or diplomat residence, would have these installed and the resulting mixing products of such a jammer could possibly be "hearable" by certain people with sensitive high-frequency hearing.

It's possible to attenuate or even defeat RF-based weapons (and eavesdropping) by surrounding the target area with conductive fabric or protective window film.

Here's a cool thesis paper entitled A Wideband Microwave Surveillance Receiver by Andre Varin which can be used as the basis for a pulsed/CW microwave weapon detection receiver.

Here's a surprisingly good "Havana Syndrome" podcast by Jon Lee Anderson and Adam Entous at VICE World News.  It includes research, interviews, and information not reported elsewhere on apparent victims of this attack.  Surprisingly good, compared to VICE's typical crap:

We Set Out to Solve the Mystery of 'Havana Syndrome.'  Here's What We Found.  A new investigative podcast from VICE World News uncovers deeply held secrets about the world of global espionage.

Project Brazen also has a very good podcast titled "The Sound: Mystery of Havana Syndrome" which is hosted by Nicky Woolf, who is horrible at doing any actual reporting or reseach and is mostly just a tool for the One Percent at The Guardian.


Overview

Our system will consist of using a RF microwave carrier amplitude-modulated or sideband-modulated (depending on application) with a variable modulating frequency to "sweep" for the proper resonant frequency of the target's skull.  A standard parabolic, Yagi, or phased-array antenna system is used to radiate the RF signal.  High-gain, narrow-beamwidth antennas are required in order to target only a individual person.

At the target, the induced acoustic waves will be reflected internally within the skull, further exciting the mechanical resonance of the skull, which is around 6-13 kHz for a typical adult human.

The final result is to (apparently) induce a "thermoelastic expansion" physical phenomena in which the RF signal is converted to an acoustic signal within the targeted individual, hopefully inducing similar symptoms of pain, disorientation, fatigue, nausea, vertigo, dizziness, brain fog, confusion, cognitive problems, etc.

Example uses for this device can be for distracting VIP protection services (or drivers) during an undocumented impeachment, causing confusion in a target while a surveillance device is surreptitiously planted in their residence (or their security credentials are copied), disrupting speeches giving by political leaders, non-contact torture during enhanced interrogations, or even by covertly harassing "experts," "skeptics," and (((fact checkers))) for the lulz.

The use of high-power microwave electromagnetic radiation to induce "sound" into a target is widely document as the Microwave Auditory Effect and was first discovered by radar operators standing in front of their radar antenna dishes during World War 2.

Allan H. Frey, a biophysicist at General Electric, was the first to scientifically document this phenomena after being contacted by a radar technician who claimed he could "hear" the radar pulses and remembering a similar technical note published by Airborne Instruments Labs in 1956.  Hence the term "Frey Effect" is often used to describe the microwave auditory effect.

In a 1996 USENET posting, Allan H. Frey made this comment:

"There is a microwave hearing effect that occurs at very low power densities and a skull vibration effect that occurs when very high energies are applied to the head.  There is some confusion in the literature because the vibration effect has often been referred to as a microwave hearing effect, but it is not the same phenomena."

The U.S. military refers to this hearing phenomena as "Voice to Skull" or "V2K."  It may even be the foundation for their so-called "Voice of God" microwave weapons.

The military's (public) version of this device was named the "Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio (MEDUSA)" and the original $100,000 contract went to Dr. Lev Sadovnik of the WaveBand Corporation, which he co-founded, and was later acquired by Sierra Nevada Corporation.

Their MEDUSA device appears to use a standard pulse-magnetron, most likely a S-band (2.7-3.0 GHz) pulsed magnetron, like a MG55223F or similar.

They've released very little public information released on their research, but I'm sure they had no problems spending our tax dollars...

MEDUSA Summary Information (Mirror)

"The main goal of the Phase I project was to design and build a breadboard prototype of a temporary personnel incapacitation system called MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio).  This non-lethal weapon is based on the well established microwave auditory effect (MAE).  MAE results in a strong sound sensation in the human head when it is irradiated with specifically selected microwave pulses of low energy.  Through the combination of pulse parameters and pulse power, it is possible to raise the auditory sensation to the "discomfort" level, deterring personnel from entering a protected perimeter or, if necessary, temporarily incapacitating particular individuals.

The major results of the Phase I effort were that - An operating frequency was chosen - Hardware requirements were established (commercial magnetron, high-voltage pulse former) - Hardware was designed and built - Power measurements were taken and the required pulse parameters confirmed - Experimental evidence of MAE was observed.

Potential applications of the MEDUSA system are as a perimeter protection sensor in deterrence systems for industrial and national sites, for use in systems to assist communication with hearing impaired persons, use by law enforcement and military personnel for crowd control and asset protection.  The system will: be portable, require low power, have a controllable radius of coverage, be able to switch from crowd to individual coverage, cause a temporarily incapacitating effect, have a low probability of fatality or permanent injury, cause no damage to property, and have a low probability of affecting friendly personnel."

Needless to say, we'll name our device the "Portable Electromagnetic Radiation System Electrifying Unwitting Subjects (PERSEUS)."

In order to use this "sound" to cause pain or confusion, the modulating frequency must be close to the resonant frequency of the human head/skull/brain of the target.

Thankfully, this work was already done by James Lin in 1977 (and Nikolaos Uzunoglu in 1988 and N.M. Yitzhak in 2009) with the frequency range working out to be around 6-13 kHz for an adult human skull.

Since this frequency range also falls within the frequency range used by certain crickets, one can mask the use of a microwave weapon by using RF carrier frequencies near the cellular phone bands (800/900/1700/1800/1900/2100 MHz, etc) and modulating the carrier with a similar "cricket" sound.  LOL!


Audio Spectrum of a Caribbean Cricket

Because all humans are different, it will be necessary to tune the modulating frequency to the specific target, maximizing the effect of the attack.  This can usually be accomplished while covertly monitoring the physical response(s) of the target.


Figures from U.S. Patent No. 6,470,214

Most of the technical information on generating the microwave auditory effect comes from U.S. Patent No. 6,470,214 which was assigned to inventor James P. O'Loughlin with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory in 2002.

His work appears to use a conventional double-balanced mixer design to generate a carrier-suppressed double-sideband RF carrier.  For our experiments, we'll be using a Watkins-Johnson (M/A-COM) M1G mixer which covers 1-4 GHz with a standard +7 dBm LO.  The IF input will be used for the audio modulation input.  Double-balanced mixers naturally suppress the carrier on their output, so for AM modulation we'll need to either re-insert the carrier with a combiner or add a little bit of DC-bias on the IF port to allow for some of the LO carrier to feed through.

The audio modulation is processed with a simple low-pass filter at around 4 kHz and the sent to a "pre-distortion" circuit which takes the square root of the audio signal.  That circuit is required in order to reproduced an undistorted signal within the target, as the actual demodulation within the target's head ("spherical demodulator") is non-linear.  An example of a "square root" circuit and an accompanying "absolute value" circuit are in the Analog Devices AD538 datasheet (see Figure 17).

A suppressed-carrier system is used because the RF carrier itself contains no information and only contributes to localized heating of the target.  It will also only output RF power when a modulating signal is present, which is common for sideband-type systems.

A FOIA request by Sharon Weinberger for her article "Mind Games" (Mirror) provides us with further technical (and mathematical) details.  Weinberger was also able to uncover the Air Forces' codenames for these microwave weapons programs as Projects HELLO (Frey effect), GOODBYE (ADS), and GOODNIGHT (How to kill people!).

The U.S. Air Force apparently performed actual human experimentation of this technique in October of 1994.  They used a RF carrier frequency of 1 GHz with an incident RF power density of 100 mW/cm2.  That may not seem like a lot, but it would require hundreds of kilowatts of RF power and a high-gain antenna system to get any measurable effects out to a messily 100 feet.  They also initially used just regular AM modulation, but encountered distortion issues when trying to transmit "voices."  This is what lead to the development of the audio pre-processing circuit and the suppressed-carrier sideband system.

An obscure Russian Patent No. 2,526,478 (English PDF) titled "Method and Device of Microwave Electromagnetic Impact at Trespasser" is probably a good look at what an actual "Havana Syndrome" microwave weapon would consist of.

This patent references using the microwave auditory effect with a modulation targeting the mechanical resonant frequency of a target's skull to "disable a trespasser."  It appears to have been issued in 2014 and references numerous U.S. patents pertaining similar work.  While lacking any real technical information, the ideas in the Russian patent do appear to be plausible.

Russian Patent No. 2,526,478

"The technical result is achieved by the fact that it is proposed to use directional radiation modulated by amplitude of the microwave electromagnetic waves.  The impact on the intruder is due to the occurrence of painful mechanical thermoelastic phenomena in individual elements of the human auditory apparatus at their resonant frequencies"

...

"Resonance phenomena in the 'radio sound' are due to the size of individual elements of the human auditory apparatus and are observed in the range of modulation frequencies of 6 ... 12 kHz."

Claims:

"1. The method of microwave electromagnetic exposure to the intruder, characterized in that the effect is carried out by an amplitude-modulated microwave electromagnetic field with a changing modulation frequency, while the amplitude modulation frequencies are taken in the range of mechanical resonant frequencies of the intruder's head and individual elements of his hearing organ.  2. A microwave device for electromagnetic influence on an intruder, comprising a microwave generator with a radiating antenna, characterized in that an amplitude modulator and a low-frequency tuner are introduced into it, configured to tune to the mechanical resonant frequency of the intruder's head and individual elements of its hearing organs.  The output of the low-frequency tuning unit is connected to the control input of the amplitude modulator, the output of which is connected to the control input of the microwave generator."

Interestingly, a Rossiyskaya Gazeta article from 2012 titled "Worse than a Bullet" (Mirror) brags about how during the the Soviet-era, a laboratory was created and headed by Colonel Mikhail Bazhanov:

"The USSR jumped ahead of the United States in creating weapons using truly 'new physical principles.'  ...Alas, to break the psyche and even kill a person with the help of directed electromagnetic radiation of a certain frequency, so to speak, 'scientists' still learned.  But here a sign regularity has long been manifested.  Those who created and used psychotronic 'generators of death' themselves quickly died, most often from cancer.  There are, probably, topics forbidden for knowledge by Nature itself."

It should be noted that it was Russian scientists who developed the gyrotron, a high-power microwave RF device originally designed for particle accelerators, but can be easily adapted to kill people...

An official Russian military article from 2019 titled In Search of "Humane" Weapons (Mirror) contains the following curious section:

Efficiently disables radio-electronic equipment for reconnaissance, communications, navigation and control of microwave radiation.  Microwave weapons disrupt the functioning of the brain and central nervous system.  A person begins to hear non-existent noises and whistles.  This weapon can also affect the internal organs of a person with a probability of death.

When exposed to low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, the human brain releases chemicals that regulate its behavior.  They can cause symptoms of various diseases, make a person instantly fall asleep or, on the contrary, stay awake for a long time.  And the so-called "electromagnetic pistols," which shoot clots of energy, can cause convulsions similar to epileptic ones.  "Thermal gun" in seconds can heat up the human body to a critical temperature - over 40 degrees Celsius.  An unbearable burning sensation puts the soldier to flight.

The development of "military microwave ovens" was held back for a long time by their huge dimensions, but recently such devices have significantly decreased in size and can be installed on a tank turret and even in the head of a tactical missile.  Microwave generators are thrown into enemy territory using conventional ammunition.  However, there are also technical problems, consisting in the difficulty of obtaining radiation of the required power at an acceptable mass, dimensions and cost of the installation.

        

A more recent patent, U.S Patent No. 7,841,989 titled "Electromagnetic Personnel Interdiction Control Method and System" describes a microwave weapon which:

"A non-lethal and non-destructive electromagnetic personnel interdiction control stun type weapon system and method utilizes beamed radio frequency energy in a frequency range and modulated to impose a Lorentz force on the vestibular system or sensory cells of a remote human subject sufficient to disrupt the mechanical transduction process and/or the chemical engine by which sound, position and other sensory input are converted to messages by nerve cells and processed by the brain to produce complete disorientation, confusion, and incapacitation sufficient to temporarily render the subject powerless to resist arrest or subjugation."

Umm...  O.K.  The work was initially done by Invocon for the U.S. Marines and resulted in a microwave weapon which they called the "Electromagnetic Personnel Interdiction Control (EPIC)."

It appears to cause "confusion" within the target by using pulsed microwave energy to influence their vestibular system.

This inner-ear system gives us our sense of balance and apparently energizing our inner-ear with microwave pulses/modulation at the mechanical resonant frequency of those little "hairs" will make them oscillate, resulting in a sensation of spinning or dizziness within the target, maybe even causing them to vomit...

The experimental EPIC system used a carrier frequency of 915 MHz modulated (AM? sideband?) with a 300 Hz audio modulation.  The RF output power was 1.3 kW (+61 dBm) into a 20 dB gain high-gain (directional) antenna for an Effective Radiated Power (ERP) around 125 kW.  This amount of power was required to create the necessary power density of 105 W/m2 at a distance of only 10 meters (33 feet).


Figure from U.S. Patent No. 7,841,989

EPIC (Electromagnetic Personnel Interdiction Control)

"The Marine Corps has a requirement for a non-destructive stun weapon that would render a hostile war fighter ineffective for a period of time.  There is significant political and military interest in such a capability.  In addition, the ability to remotely incapacitate a human being without permanent damage would be a landmark event in the field of civil law enforcement.  The desirability of waging bloodless war to counter threats to national security is virtually limitless since both military and civil authority could determine a priori when and if loss of human life is necessary.  IVC proposes to investigate the use of beamed RF energy to excite and interrupt the normal process of human hearing and equilibrium.  The focus will be in two areas.  (1) Interruption of the mechanical transduction process by which sound and position (relative to gravity) are converted to messages that are processed by the brain.  (2) Interruption of the chemical engine which sustains the proper operation of the nerve cells that respond to the mechanical transduction mechanisms referenced in item (1).  Interruption of either or both of these processes has been clinically shown to produce complete disorientation and confusion.  Second order effects would be extreme motion sickness.

This RFP (Mirror) asks for a weapon that can 'temporarily incapacitate' a human threat as a point or area target.  In short, a Star Trek hand-held Phaser Weapon set on 'Stun.'  It would be the ultimate in individual weaponry providing an individual war fighter with the ability to reduce an opponent to helplessness while doing no permanent damage.  The requirement also states the need for the weapon to operate through walls and other protective mediums that now provide cover for combatants in urban warfare situations.  This capability would increase the effectiveness of a war-fighter in urban combat for two reasons: (1) the enemy could be engaged and neutralized through a wall; and (2) the damage of friendly fire mistakes would be minimized since on permanent damage would be done by the stun weapons.  The civilian applications of such a weapon would be a landmark event in law enforcement.  The civil authority could always protect themselves from lethal threats while still delivering targets to the justice system unharmed.  Further, the critical decision now placed on law enforcement as to whether or not lethal responses are necessary could be virtually eliminated since use of the 'stun' weapon could neutralize a perceived threat without permanent damage."

This also appears to be the same device mentioned in the Wired article titled "Navy Researching Vomit Beam" (Mirror).

In a related article titled "EXCLUSIVE: Doctors Reveal Details of Neuro-Weapon Attacks in Havana," which interviews Dr. James Giordano, contains this statement:

"Giordano said directed energy weapons can cause these injuries by creating 'cavitation,' or air pockets, in fluids near the inner ear.  The shape of the inner ear amplifies sounds and waveforms to cause the effect.  The process creates air bubbles, or cavities, that eventually burst.  Near the inner ear are two pathways carrying blood to the brain - the cochlear aqueduct and the vestibular aqueduct.  The bubbles can travel rapidly up the aqueducts into the brain where they can 'function as a stroke,' Giordano said."

In a reseach paper titled "FDTD Analysis of Microwave Hearing Effect," (PDF) researchers in Japan performed a detailed analysis of the thermoelastic waves created as a result of the microwave hearing effect.

Their results show that a 20 µs pulse duration at 915 MHz with an incident power density of only 1 mW/cm2 is capable of generating "pressure waves" in the 7-9 kHz in a human head model.  These frequencies correspond to the approximate acoustic resonant frequencies of the human head model.  If the pulse duration is approxiate half the period of the mechanical resonant frequency of the target head (i.e. resonant frequency of 8 kHz = 125 µs period, so pulse widths around 62 µs) then constructive interference can occur, causing the induced thermoelastic waves to build in amplitude.  If the pulses are longer in duration, then the waves tend to cancel each other due to being out of phase.

"The resonance frequency of pressure waves in the head has been shown to be 7-9 kHz in our analysis.  A microwave pulsewidth duration of a half-cycle of the resonant frequency, i.e., about 50µs, most efficiently excites thermoelastic waves because the thermal stress energy is fully integrated into thermoelastic waves.  If the pulse duration is longer than this, phase cancellation of elastic waves occurs.  When the pulse duration is one-cycle of the resonance frequency, the phase cancellation is most remarkable and the elastic waves are not excited efficiently."


Power spectra of elastic waves at the cochlea.

A continuation of Nir M. Yitzhak's research resulted in a paper titled "Numerical Simulation of Pressure Waves in the Cochlea Induced by a Microwave Pulse" (PDF).

The paper contains this statement for pulses at 915 MHz:

"In all models, the strongest acoustic response occurs at the frequency of about 8 kHz, which represents the fundamental resonance frequency of sound generation in the human head.  The occurrence of a peak in the acoustic power spectrum near 8 kHz persists also for other electromagnetic frequencies, irradiation directions, polarizations and pulse widths, although secondary peaks, in the range between 1 kHz and about 30 kHz also appear."


Calculated power spectra of the pressure waves at the cochlea.

In 2015, researchers at the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science released a paper titled "Pathophysiology of Microwave-Induced Traumatic Brain Injury" (PDF) in which they concluded that it was possible to cause "traumatic brain injury" in rats using only around 3 kW of microwave energy at 2.45 GHz.  The paper concludes with the line "... microwave-induced neurotrauma shows the same pathological changes as blast traumatic brain injury," which kinda sounds like the symptoms of a brain concussion which have been reported to be caused via the "Havana Syndrome."

A 2021 research paper titled "Computational Modeling Investigation of Pulsed High Peak Power Microwaves and the Potential for Traumatic Brain Injury" (PDF, Supp. PDF) dives deep into the effects of microwave pulses in the 1-2 GHz range on the human brain and attempts to ask the question, "Can high peak power pulsed microwaves cause adverse health effects in addition to the microwave auditory effect?"  Their results are quite informative:

"The peaks at 9.7 kHz are in agreement with previous research that microwave-induced cochlear microphonics in humans should be between 7 and 10 kHz and should not be influenced by the orientation of the body axis to the electrical field...

Although the brain is believed to naturally vary in temperature between 1° and 3°C, these changes occur relatively slowly through changes in cerebral blood flow.  This study has shown that, by applying a small temperature increase (<0.0005°C) in a very short amount of time (less than several microseconds), potentially injurious stress waves are created.  The temperatures presented in this study are well below the threshold (8°C) known to cause unconsciousness in rodents following a single HPM pulse.

While the peak power densities used within this simulation study are large, they are achievable with known microwave hardware.  For example, to produce a power density of 1,000,000 mW/cm2 at 25 m away from a 40 dBi antenna, a microwave source would require approximately 8 MW of power per pulse."

In an article from Military Medicine titled "Vehicle-Mounted High-Power Microwave Systems and Health Risk Communication in a Deployed Environment" contains the following statement:

"Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have been used against coalition forces to deadly effect in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Among the many innovations fielded to counter this threatare vehicle-mounted high-power microwave (HPM) systems.  HPM devices such as the "Jackal" and "Calilgo" use directional radio frequency (RF) antennas to assist in the neutralization of IEDs via detection or premature detonation.

...

"In the fall of 2011, four out of six soldiers from two separate teams experienced symptoms of nausea and headache during routine night convoy operations in southwest Asia.  The first team reported their symptoms immediately after completing their mission and expressed concerns that their symptoms had been caused by a malfunctioning counter-IED system ontheir vehicle.  Members of the second team arrived later and were told what had happened to the first team.  Two out of the six soldiers also endorsed having had nosebleeds, which each considered to be an unusual event.  Both teams were sent to the Combat Support Hospital for evaluation.  None of the soldiers experienced any unusual sensation of thermal energy while in their vehicles.  None of the soldiers complained of a recurrence of their symptoms after the mission."

...

"The soldiers’ perception that their symptoms had been caused by a malfunctioning HPM device was due in part to aperceived temporal relationship.  Both teams reported that their symptoms began 30 minutes after the devices had been placed in "transmit," and subsided when the devices were placed on standby during breaks in the mission; their symptoms returned when the devices were reactivated."

Construction

Coming Soon.

100 Watt RF Power Amplifier for 2 GHz  This project covers the final RF output amplifier.

4 Watt RF Power Amplifier for 2 GHz  This project covers the RF pre-amplifier required to drive the final RF power amplifier.

The RF power amplifier was tweaked a bit to clean up the wiring.  The soldered ground wire was replaced with a crimped lug and placed under one of the PC board mounting bolts for a more secure mounting.

RF input to the final transistor in the RF power amplifer was modified to be on the otherside of the attenuator (marked "N10" on the PCB).

Using RF carrier frequencies in the 1.9-2.0 GHz will potentially allow one to "mask" the use of a device by hiding it the noise created by cellular phone base station downlinks.

The Motorola MHL19338-based RF drive amplifer was modifed from the original project to fit inside the case of an old cellular-band receive pre-amplifier.  An optional 20 dB directional coupler on the input can be used for monitoring the input RF signal.

This amplifier requires +28 VDC at around 500 mA.  At 2 GHz, a +6.3 dBm input generated a +34.1 dBm output.

Large white vans will make a great "moving system" and cover for your covert operations.
