Single ended mixers at 94 GHz and 140 GHz with whisker-contacted honeycomb diodes have been realized. Environmental tests showed that the split block mixermount construction withstands shocks up to 1000 g/2 ms. Commercially available Mott-diodes have been used to obtain noise temperatures of 600/spl deg/K (SSB) at 94 GHz and 250 uW L.O. drive.

A design procedure is described for dc blocks using asymmetric coupled microstrip which exhibit a rippled frequency response, while at the same time acting as impedance transformers. Lumped capacitances are added in order to compensate for the difference in propagation constants of two quasi TEM modes.

A technique which reduces the requirement for constructing high accuracy phase shifters for steering the main beam in a small (less than 20 elements) linear antenna array is described. The key hardware components are the phase detectors which monitor the phase difference between adjacent radiating elements and a microcomputer to read the phase differences and adjust phase shifters to obtain the desired antenna performance. This closed loop technique will also provide a means for future investigations to verify theoretical versus experimental phase distributions and other element effects in small antenna arrays.

The characteristic impedances and the normalized phase velocities of single and parallel-coupled striplines using anisotropic substrates were obtained by means of an integral-equation approach and a mapping method. A quasi-TEM approximation based on Laplace's equation was used. Calculated values for sapphire and pyrolytic boron nitride are given.

The transfer function of a lowpass non-minimum-phase network with characteristics approximating a constant passband amplitude and any prescribed phase can be expressed in a closed form. This procedure can be used to approximate pre-distorted lowpass characteristics such that application of non-linear frequency transformation produces the desired bandpass ones. Network synthesis leads to a lowpass cross-coupled structure with diagonal cross-couplings. The method is used to design a six-cavity waveguide filter with linear phase characteristic.
