Two square TEM transmission cells with side heights 30 cm and 50 cm were designed for the calibration of RF-hazard monitors. The error due to reflections was reduced from ±10 % to ±2 % (input VSWR < 1.2) by lengthening straight sections and measuring the longitudinal E-field patterns at calibration frequencies. Comparison measurements with small probes showed that the maximum difference between the cells was 7 % except some sharp resonance points caused by TEM harmonics and TE01 mode. The vertical field non-uniformity was also examined.

A novel E-plane transistor mount for use up to the mm-wave range is presented. The quasiplanar waveguide structure developed is made on thin, low dielectric substrate inserted in the E-plane of a rectangular wavequide and incorporates a microstrip, and a slotted, inhomogeneous finline partially coated with a dissipative layer. Featuring excellent reproduciblity, low insertion and hiqh return loss in the waveguide band and appropriate broadband match below waveguide cutoff this design is shown to be well suited for precision measurement and amplifier applications. Performance data. of a realized X-band structure are reported.

A high capacity communication link is described, which uses a slotted-waveguide as a transmission medium. The slotted-waveguide is a rectangular waveguide with a framed slot in its broadwall. The coupling structure, mounted to the moving Maglev vehicle, is plunging through this slot into the waveguiding region. The paper describes those elements which from the system-und component-designer's point of view are in particular inherent to the slotted-waveguide technology. Neglegible electromagnetic interference and high communication capacity makes the slotted waveguide attractive for mobile applications where sufficient track-holding is provided.

The feasibility of using phased arrays for focused microwave hyperthermia is examined. A prototype system consisting of a semi-elliptic array of six 2.45GHz dipole antennas surrounding a homogeneous cylindrical body with the dielectric properties of the human lungs, and a linear array of five elements parallel to the axis of the body has been used to verify computational simulations of the same configuration. Microwave field intensities measured within the phantom indicate good agreement with theoretical predictions. A computer simulation for a different configuration is presented in order to show the inherent flexibility of the phased array applicator system. The results confirm the possibility of using phased arrays for induced localised hyperthermia for deep-seated tumour destruction provided that temperature monitoring is available.

We present experimental evidence that a single Schottky diode on GaAs is an agglomerate of paralleled microjunctions with different barrier heights and saturation currents. The current-voltage characteristic of the cluster breakes up into sections of exponentials with different slopes as one cools the diode from 300 K to 10 K. Noise measurements performed on cooled diodes at 4 GHz also confirm that a single device is a cluster of paralleled diodes. The model suggests a more compl icated equivalent cicuit of the diode which can also explain some of the problems experienced in attempts to theoretically predict cooled mixer noise performance. It also explains why in some diodes the excess noise appears at lower currents levels than in other diodes, a phenomenon which seriously degrades the low noise preformance of the mixer.

A new method for dimensioning a multiple layer Frequency Selective Surface (F.S.S.) based on an appropriate electromagnetic model will be examined. Feasibility and performance I imitations of F.S.S. having a single grid of Jerusalem crosses packed with several dielectric slabs will be analyzed. The technique of waveguide simulators is proposed as an attractive alternative to the radiation measurement technique. Experimental and theoretical results, in the frequency range of 8÷18Qk, are discussed in order to point out: the val idity of the measurement technique and the accuracy of the electromagnetic model.
