Design and testing of the thesis can be broken up into five major parts – the design and construction of the five modules of a subcarrier multiplexing system: mixer, voltage controlled oscillator, bandpass filter, amplifier and power combiner. A printed circuit board was designed to connect these modules together with minimal stray capacitance and inductance.
The mixer, voltage controlled oscillator, power combiner and amplifier performed adequately displaying minimal losses, and met the requirements of the thesis. The bandpass filter however, displayed no signs of directive filtering and produced a loss of around 20dB.
