An active antenna array system, capable of switching between sum and difference patterns for radar applications, is explored. The desired phase relationship amongst antenna elements is synthesized via injection locking. Optical reference signal is transmitted from remote controller through optical fiber link. Measured patterns agree with theoretical results.<>

In this paper we present a novel algorithm for a flexible table-based, bias-dependent, small-signal cascode MESFET model. The model utilizes 2-port DC and RF characterizations of a single-gate, common-source MESFET in contrast to the typical 3-port characterization approach typically applied to dual-gate and cascode FETs. Cascode FET simulations enabled by the new model are shown to track measured data over varying bias conditions.<>

This paper describes the extremely low crosstalk characteristics of a guided wave structure, buried microstrip line. The analyses with the use of the rectangular boundary division method and FDTD method have revealed that the line structure possesses much lower coupling coefficients than traditional microstrip lines, from -15 dB to -100 dB depending on their burial depth. This line structure is believed to be quite useful for realizing highly integrated microwave and millimeter-wave circuits.<>

In this paper, a new transmission line matrix node is proposed for electromagnetic analysis of a composite coaxial cell which is used to characterize highly dispersive materials over a large frequency band. A variety of measurements using such a coaxial line cell have been done with different liquid samples to verify the wideband characteristics. It is shown that theoretical and experimental results have a very good agreement.<>

Significant advances in the development of HEMT technology have resulted in high performance cryogenic LNAs whose noise temperatures are within an order of magnitude of the quantum noise limit (hn/k). Key to the identification of optimum HEMT structures at cryogenic temperatures is the development of on-wafer noise and device parameter extraction techniques.<>

A moment method using a dyadic Green's function is developed for the analysis of quasi-optical systems. The dyadic Green's function used has separate terms for the paraxial and non-paraxial fields and is much easier to develop than a mixed potential Green's function. The method is applied to the analysis of antenna elements in a quasi-optical resonator.<>

We propose a new aggressive Space Mapping strategy for electromagnetic (EM) optimization. Instead of waiting for upfront EM analyses at several base points, it exploits every available EM analysis using the classical Broyden update, producing dramatic results right from the first step. A high-temperature superconducting filter design solution emerges after fewer EM analyses than the number of designable parameters! For the first time, Space Mapping is extended to the parameter extraction phase, overcoming severely misaligned starting points induced by inadequate empirical models.<>
