Decade bandwidth FET functions have been designed, using an analytical approach followed by a computer optimization. Two experimental functions have been built using commercially available FETS : - a YIG tuned oscillator monotonically tunable from 2 to 20 GHz with 1 mW minimum output power. - an ultrabroadband amplifier covering the frequency range from 150 MHz to 16 GHz with 12 dB flat gain and a V.S.W.R lower than 2.5.

The Kurokawa oscillator theory is applied to IMPATT oscillator circuits using an accurate non-linear diode equivalent circuit and broadband circuit representations of both rectangular and coaxial waveguiding structures. The analysis considers the influence of harmonic components in the oscillator output.

Design and fabrication of compact multi-stage single-ended feedback amplifiers operating from 2- 8 GHz are discussed. The nominal gains are 22 dB in the three-stage unit and 30 dB in the four-stage unit. Measured maximum VSWR's do not exceed 1.9:1. Noise figures, although not optimized, were below 7.6 dB and 8.4 dB, respectively.

Recent theoretical investigations reveal the dominant role played by a new type of matrix transformation in the theory of microwave networks composed of multiport elements; this is an extension to multidimensional vector spaces of the well-known scalar fractional bilinear transformations. Projective matrix transformations have been found to map the scattering matrix, the impedance matrix, and the admittance matrix of an n-port network embedded in a 2n-port supernetwork. The transfer-scattering matrix and the chain- or ABCD-matrix of a 2n-port network embedded in a 4n-port supernetwork, are also mapped in a similar manner by matrix transformations of the same type. A fundamental application of this new transformation is the generalization of the concept of image-parameters known for 2-port networks to that of image-matrices for 2n-port networks. This generalization leads to a rigorous normal-mode analysis of wave-propagation on image-matched chains of cascaded 2n-port networks.
