Circuit analysis, reverse-engineering and hacking of a Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi Multiradio base station FRGL amplifier. The user Da_Stier from highvoltageforum.net made a deep circuit analysis of the power amplifier, reverse-engineered how it works, built new printed circuit boards to make it run standalone and built a new enclosure for it. Shifting its output frequency band from 2.1 GHz to 2.4 GHz, for us in HAM radio experiments.
Michael made a custom 3D printed RF enclosure and drop-in RF and power supply board using the original headers. He did S21 measurements before modifications and after modifications to determine the efficiency of the changed frequency.
