A quasi-lumped element impedance matching technique was developed for a multi-octave bandwidth FET amplifier. The lumped elements were realized by parallel capacitors, high impedance band wires and etched lines on a 0.170 x 0.085 x 0.010 inch alumina substrate. A two-stage amplifier has been constructed using this method and yields 17/spl plusmn/ dB gain and 3.5 dB maximum noise figure over 1.75 to 6.0 GHz band.

This paper describes a W-band, fixed tuned receiver that achieves double side-band noise figure less than 5.5 dB over 10 GHz bandwidth for both LO and RF ports. This low DSB noise figure includes a 1.6 dB contribution from an amplifier with 1000 MHz bandwidth. Only three milliwatts of LO power, obtained through a broadband frequency doubler, are required for receiver's optimum performance without biasing the mixer diodes.

An S-band compressive receiver if utilizing an MSW (Magneto-stetic Wave) epitaxial YIG dispersive delay line for broadband spectral analysis is presented. The dispersive line, centered at 2.7 GHz with an 870 GHz bandwidth dispered over 0.2 MSCC allows analysis of a 650 GHz band with 12 MHz resolution.

This paper concerns the development of a 100-kW peak power, self-biased, pulsed limiter covering the 1250 to 1350 MHz band. The limiter requires no external power sources and uses four 70 mu m PIN diodes as the active elements in a power-sharing, axially symmetric, shunt-loaded arrangement in a 50-ohm, 7/8-inch OD, coaxial transmission line. Two shorting stubs used for zero-bias tuning and dc returns are in the same electrical plane as the PIN diodes. Four symmetric Schottky-barrier, high-voltage detector diodes decoupled from the main transmission line provide fast leading edge, high-amplitude current biasing pulses to each PIN diode. The one-stage limiter demonstrated a spike leakage of 2.8 kW/65 ns, a flat leakage of 32 watts peak, and a 1-dB recovery period of 17 mu s for an incident power level of 100 kW/2.8 mu s. Passive zero-bias loss was under 0.5 dB.

A novel microwave bridge incorporating fundamental and harmonic balancing has been developed for measuring amplitude and phase characteristics of items, such as phased array antenna amplifiers, that exhibit small but significant nonlinear behaviour. Measured characteristics relate to the output traveling waves from the item which may, however, be terminated in any safe load. Successful bridge design and operation in a fundamental range of 2 to 4 GHz, a second harmonic range 4 to 8 GHz and a third harmonic range 6 to 12 GHz has been achieved. Sensitivity and resolution are such that it is possible to differentiate between leading and trailing edge phase characteristics of pulse operated microwave amplifiers. Results obtained with various load impedances can be used to plot equi-amplitude and equi-phase contours on a Smith chart at fundamental and harmonic frequencies.
