Surely there is much black art in that box, and be careful, that pcb
will rape your soul  ;)

wonderful video and equipment.

It looks like there are some hairpin filters there, Sonnet has an example of those, see attached image of a simulation.

Great job, Mike! Carmina Burana is great theme music for the magical:

Cantiones profanæ cantoribus et choris cantandæ comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis ("Songs of Beuern: Secular songs for singers and choruses to be sung together with instruments and magic images.")

Is this the 7GHz version?

Hairpin filters are pretty cool stuff. Unfortunately they work at frequencies starting around 1GHz. So playing with this stuff requires a spectrum analyser and RF generator which work up to several GHz.

Great teardown, Mike.

Any plans to show us the beast in action, or has hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia set in?

All I can say is, my nickname is Zadoc for a reason. As soon as I saw that RF PCB I was....

Lucky bugger to have got that Anritsu at a good price!
