An MIC 0.75 inch diameter VHF/UHF switch module employing packageless diodes has been developed that operates over two octaves in the 20-500 MHz range. It has been tested up to 2.0 KW CW!! This represents a factor of 10 in power greater than previously reported. Several switch assemblies employing this module design are described and test results presented.

Direct generation of a modulated signal at microwave frequencies offers considerable simplicity and economy in the transmitter of a microwave communication system. Minimum-shift-keying (MSK) is a digital modulation which yields the same bit-error-rate performance as coherent PSK even though this modulation may be generated as a continuous phase frequency-shift- keying. Utilizing this feature of MSK, this paper describes novel circuits for generation of MSK modulation at microwave frequencies.

Small samples of frozen human packed red blood cells (RBCs) were thawed by microwave heating (2450 MHz) and by water bath heating. The functional integrity of the cells was measured before and after thaw, and over a 6-hour period after wash. Minor differences between microwave and water thawed RBCs were observed.

A new approach to nonlinear gyro-deivce theory is presented. This approach is based upon the soliton concept. The general gyro-device equation is derived and solved for its soliton solutions. Two different amplification regimes are analyzed and comparisons are made with linear theory.

The integral-equation method was used in the analysis of inhomogeneous broadside-coupled striplines. The method is general and may also account for dielectric anisotropy. Curves to characterize suspended broadside-coupled microstrip lines with isotropic and anisotropic substrates are shown as examples.

The two-stub transition design is analysed on isotropic and anisotropic substrates. Broadband design is made by optimizing the slotline and the stub lengths. Sensibility analysis of the behaviour of the whole structure with these parameters shows the slotline length and impedance to be the dominant factors. An extended-octave design can easily be achieved, with VWSR less than 1.5, for double-transitions.
