Inexpensive, Easy to Build Microwave Transceiver —The DROplexer— Walter Clark (based on the work and guidance of Eddie Phillips W6IZJ) This project is a modern day Gunnplexer. It is a “hack” (to use the modern vernacular) of a $ motion sensor module and a 99¢ store FM radio. The motion sensors are sold to companies that make intruder sensors, or door openers and are available on eBay to the experimenter. They are replacements for the Gunn diode motion sensor module which has been used since the 60s. The new module is far cheaper, much smaller, and consumes 30 times less power than a Gunn. It is also more stable; the biggest complaint about the use of Gunn’s in ham equipment. In the above photo the $6 DRO motion sensor module is in the middle next to the red 99¢ Store FM receiver. There is a 99¢ Store receiver and the $6 DRO motion sensor on each breadboard. The circuit boards have been removed from the red enclosure but the volume control was put back on the pot. There is a modulator which is the only circuit you have to build yourself. The modulator has only 10 parts and can be assembled in just a few hours. In the picture above you can see a microphone sticking out from modulator. Any headphones will work and they plug into the headphone jack that comes with the 99¢ FM radio. The range on this under $10 radio can be several blocks easily. The picture to the right, is what the older Gunnplexers looked like. Actually this is a motion sensor version of a Gunnplexer. The real Gunnplexer was a commercial product made by Microwave Associates in the 1970s. It used a varactor diode and circulator that this simpler version doesn’t have. There is another variation of the Gunnplexer made popular among amateurs by the early members of the SBMS. It was called a Polaplexer. An article about the Polaplexer can be found under projects in the SBMS website. The cable in the abov
