A new method of designing re-entrant cavity bandpass filters is discussed. By using this method filters can be designed without any experimental trials. Filters are molded with identical outer dimensions over 4 to 8 GHz bands and mass produced. Their measurements coincide with theoretical results obtained by this new design method.

An octave bandwidth power amplifier design which exploits the unique capabilities of a new miniature hybrid technology is presented. The technology features flip-chip mounted FETs which are placed directly on thin film matching circuits defined on high thermal conductivity BeO. One advantage of this approach is that novel topologies, such as the cascode configurations of this design, are easily implemented. Better than 7dB gain over 5 to 10 GHz with 25% power-added efficiency is predicted for this design which, with bias circuits, measures 4.4 × 6.4 mm.

For the direct reception of satellite television broad-casting, a simple and inexpensive down-converter has been developed utilizing fin-line techniques. Filter and mixer layout is on a common substrate connected to a free running Gunn local oscillator. Excellent transmission quality has been observed testing the down-converter in a complete receiver.

We have investigated novel techniques for the fabrication of silicon IMPATTdiodes for use at frequencies of up to 300 GHz. The basic techniques described are ion implantation, laser annealing, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), unique secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS - profile diagnostics), and novel wafer thinning. These techniques yield ultra -thin, reproducible wafers, and are currently being used in the development of silicon hybrid and monolithic integrated millimeter-wave sources.

An experimental characterization of state of the art microwave power amplifiers for high capacity 16 QAM digital radio systems is given. The effects of amplifier nonlinearities on 16 QAM signals are qualitatively demonstrated with the aid of real time signal state diagrams. A quantitative description is obtained by measured degradation of bit error ratio characteristics as a function of output power level. The comparison of the power capability shows advantages for modern high linearity TWTs over GaAs FET amplifiers at slightly superior efficiency. Techniquss for fast and easy characterization of nonlinear amplifiers are derived. Finally, methods to improve amplifier linearity are discussed.

A general equivalent circuit representation of symmetrical junction circulators in E- and H-plane configuration is presented. Assuming single-resonant circuits for the eigen-immittances, the frequency response of conventional circulators is calculated. Design rules are given to achieve maximum bandwidth.

In this paper, a semiconductor based fin-line isolator is analyzed. This device is based on field displacement effect phenomenon arising in a gyroelectric semiconductor (a theoretical method is presented). It is mainly an extension of the well known spectral domain approach. For this purpose, the semiconductor layer is taken into account through its conductivity tensor. Two semiconductors (GaAs and InSb) have been considered. The main parameters of the isolator such as isolation, insertion losses, band width are computed and compared with the experimental results. There is satisfactory agreement between theoretical and experimental results in the case of the GaAs. Finally it is pointed out that the InSb is the best choice.

A survey is given describing the status of computer-aided design techniques as they are used today in the development of microwave integrated circuits. Some still existing deficiencies and fundamental problems are outlined. Parallel to this, the special requirements for the design of monolithic microwave circuits are discussed, as well as the impact which comes from the growing availability of economic, decentralized computer power. Some considerations concerning future developments are presented and a few representative design examples will be shown.
