A method for calculation of the coupling of a dielectric loaded resonator to a rectangular waveguide by means of a long thin slot is presented. Experimental measurements performed on several cases are compared to the calculations. Effect of the resonator's field variation on the coupling calculations are discussed. It is shown that the small aperture theory fails to predict the coupling coefficient variation as a function of the slot length. The actual (measured) variation is predicted properly by taking into account the field distribution in the resonator.

The design of a wideband FET frequency doubler operating with a 4-8 GHz input bandwidth is described. The doubler and bandreject amplifier combination achieve an average conversion loss of 3.5 dB across the 8-16 GHz output band. The design method uses the harmonic balance algorithm implemented on an IBM PC-AT personal computer.

This paper refers to the retrieval of two-dimensional thermal fields in biological bodies from multispectral microwave measurements by a scanning waveguide applicator. A formulation of the inverse radiometric problem suitable for a two-step solution (transverse deconvolution and profile retrieval) is outlined. The performance of the inversion procedure is tested by a numerical evaluation of the impulse response of the resulting algorithm.

This paper describes the design and development of 60 and 70 GHz High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) amplifiers. The 60 GHz amplifier exhibited a gain of 4.5 to 6.5 dB across the frequency band 56 to 62 GHz and had an associated noise figure of 6.0 dB measured at 57.5 GHz. The 72 GHz amplifier achieved a gain of 4 to 5 dB with a bandwidth of 2.5 GHz, with an associated noise figure of 7.8 measured at 71.0 GHz.

A one-and-one-third-octave frequency halver has been developed to accommodate the 7-18 GHz input band, the widest bandwidth yet reported. Dynamic range capabilities of varactor halvers can be increased from 7 dB to about 20 dB by means of a novel "sliding bias" circuit.

This paper describes the fundamental characteristics and experimental results of newly developed tunable bandpass filters using rnicrostrip-line ring resonators. The experimental filter has a steeper attenuation slope and less circuit instability than conventional filters, and it seems to be a suitable filter for MICs or MMICs.

A numerical technique for the design of parallel-coupled bandpass microstrip filters is discussed. The method accounts accurately for the dispersion effects due to the presence of the substrate, the associated surface wave propagation and radiation losses. The presented technique does not have any frequency limitations and can be applied to various microstrip filters. Comparison with experimental results shows excellent agreement.

A method for determining the coupling coefficients between dielectric resonators (DR) is presented. Experimentally measured S-parameters are used to characterize a circuit model of the DR. The DR's resonant frequency is systematically altered with a sliding short in the desired filter configuration and measured. This data is combined with the DR model utilizing equivalent circuit techniques to determine the coupling coefficient.
