A new broadband slot antenna with low cross-polarization is presented. It is realized by introducing metal stubs in the aperture of a conventional bow-tie slot antenna. A spectral domain moment method analysis shows that the cross-polarization can be reduced by about 15 dB. The SWR remains below 1.6 in the bandwidth fupper/flower=2.8. Experimental data are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

A nonquasi-static nonlinear table-based FET model, which has been implemented into a commercial Harmonic Balance Simulator (MDS), is described and demonstrated. It makes use of a simplified nonquasi-static charge formulation and also accounts for low frequency dispersion phenomena. It can be derived, fast and simply, from dc and small signal S-parameters and is general and technology and process independent. The model is accurate under dc, small and large signal operating conditions being able to perform excellent predictions up to high frequencies and over a wide bias range. Dynamic large signal model behaviour has been validated using pseudomorphic HEMT structures, by comparing measured and simulated input and output waveforms, dynamic load line and transfer characteristics. Excellent agreement between measurements and simulation results has been achieved in the frequency range from 2 to 50 GHz.

A new dual mode cavity concept is presented based on the independent tuning of two orthogonal resonant modes inside a cavity. The use of this principle has been claimed in the past very frequently but violated in practice due to a confusing association between the electromagnetic system and its equivalent network representation. It is shown that the desired coupling effect inside the cavity is simply obtained when both resonant modes are simultaneously excited and tuned to different frequencies. A generic network representation for the dual mode cavity is proposed which is more clearly associated to the real electromagnetic system. The relation of this network with the standard filter synthesis network is shown and some fundamental design implications are derived that are not in full agreement with the classical design techniques. Based on this new understanding a simple tuning mechanism has been experimentally verified on typical channel filters.

The paper will describe a novel measurement system which is part of a research project on the design of M3ICs at 140 GHz. The intension is to characterise on-wafer devices within the waveguide band 110 - 170 GHz using a dielectric waveguide multistate reflectometer (DMR). Although a lot of work has been done in recent years on realising 6 port and then 4 port reflectometers they either were built for frequency ranges below 100 GHz or they were realised using metallic waveguide technology.

New way of calculation the fingers slow-wave structures of a two-wire type, based on the theory of multiconductors' lines and on the replacement of a real structure by an equivalent to it two-wire long line is offered. The offered method permits to calculate the dispersion characteristics not only one-row, but also of the two-row fingers structures. For the first time by calculation and on the basis of direct measurements the opportunity of an essential increase of electromagnetic waves' deceleration in fingers combs, located in parallel one upon the other, is shown. Results of experimental researches of effect of fingers' width and of the period of their arrangement on the value of deceleration are shown also.

This paper presents a new large signal modeling technique for FET devices. The proposed method employs distributed approach using nonlinear transmission line based on GCA(Gradual Channel Approximation). The modeling procedure needs only a few S parameter measurements under cold bias condition and simple I-V measurements. The former is used to extract the channel conductance and gate capacitance and the latter to optimize the velocity-field relation. The large signal model can be directly established without any active biased S parameter measurements, ECP extraction, and laborious fitting procedures required in conventional empirical modelings.

In this paper effects of trellis coded modulation in mobile radio systems are evaluated. The specific channel with timeselective fading process is considered. The complete descriptions of such channel and an appropriate receiver is given. General model for bit error rate calculations is presented. That model enables error determination for every type of fading encountered in mobile radio systems as well as for different TCM schemes. Here we chose to analyse trellis encoding in combination with PSK, PSK with pilot tone and DPSK.

A noise scattering matrix statistical model of the Anechoïc Chamber measurement channel is first developed in the frequential domain, then in the time domain and in the holographic radar images domain. Building these models allows one to analyse the sensitivity of a common target classification tool, the Huynen parameters, for any target and then to construct a prediction model of the Huynen parameters sensitivity based on the measure of a single target scattering matrix [S].
