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 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 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.
