The interpretation of rainfall and clear weather radio propagation data, the generation of short and long term statistics for radio systems design and factors which are shown to increase potential errors in the application of measured data are discussed. The application of models of attenuation and cross-polarisation due to rainfall, upper atmosphere ice, snow, combinations of these hydrometeors and radio refractive effects are addressed.

Recently completed computations of the field profiles existing within various microwave open resonator configurations are described for the following situations - perfectly aligned planar and spherical mirrors; misaligned spherical mirrors; imperfectly shaped spherical mirrors. The approach used, involves the sequential projecting of the field profile existing at one mirror on to the other until a steady state profile is obtained. The relative merits of two calculational methods are discussed. Results are presented for the various configurations.

The photodetection mechanisms in GaAs MESFETs have been investigated by several researchers. Recently the authors have published an in-depth study of the MESFET as an optical detector under constant illumination involving both experimental and theoretical modelling. In this paper we discuss the compressive nature of that photodetection process. Experimental results involving constant illumination, modulated light and pulsed illumination verify the theoretical conclusions. Finally we present a suggested structure of an RF logarithmic amplifier based on the above phenomenon.

A novel power detector for fast power measurements in RF technology is presented. The essential detector elements are field effect transistors. Due to the fact that the field effect transistors are used as passive elements, the detector features an exellent noise characteristic. Beside this, the power detector also shows a low sensitivity to temperature variations. Relating to noise characteristic, temperature stability and dynamic range the field effect detector is better than a Schottky diode detector.

The compact range has become a popular measurement tool in the evaluation of microwave antennas in recent years. Larger aperture reflectors operating over the entire microwave and millimeter wave spectrum are now required, Olver (1). In this paper, the state-of-the-art design of a Very Large Compact Range (VLCR) reflector with dimensions of 36 meters × 32 meters is described. This VLCR reflector is predicted to achieve unique levels of performance in the large required quiet zone region of the design.

This paper describes a novel design of MESFET based frequency multipliers with automatically stabilized output power level. This particular circuit configuration beside generating the desired output harmonic, allows to stabilize the output power level without inserting any additive control and detector circuit. To detail and verify theoretical performances, electrical results obtained on a 12/24 GHz freq. doubler are given and commented.

Laterally displaced microstrip lines which are coupled through a rectangular slot in a common ground plane are analyzed. Microstrips are displaced each other from the center of the slot. The analysis is based on the spectral domain method and the reciprocal theorem. Numerical results of the S parameters are shown for different values of displacement distance.
