This paper analyzes multireflector antennas making use of spectral domain techniques. The behaviour of the multireflector antenna is determined by means of a transference function that relates the plane wave spectrum of an incident signal on this antenna to the plane wave spectrum reflected by the structure. Multireflector antenna clusters that synthesize specific radiation patterns have also been undertaken. The paper allows us to generalize the identification of every reflecting object through a transference function that relates the incident spectrum to the reflected one. This will permit us to analyze reflection problems with multiple structures.

After several attemps on transverse dipole array design using numerical technique (MOM) a simple and reliable design method is derived. The method heart's is an intensive use of a database generated with a Moment Method. The basic topology is a series of transverse dipoles coupled electromagnetically to a microstrip line. Each array element is considered as an entity which is described as an equivalent circuit. This method allows a very simple interface with commercially available CAD softwares. As examples, two design of a six dipole linear array is presented. The first is a passive one showing a gain of 16 dB. The second one is the evolution of the first one as an active design showing 27.5 dB of gain at the center frequency of 10 GHz. In each of these designs, the method is shown realiable.

The differential phase measurement method has been improved to need the use of only one power meter instead of three power meters. This enables accurate antenna phase pattern measurements with a simplified set-up, accompanied by the reduction in cost. All advantages of the differential phase measurement method are still also present, e.g. there is no need to phase lock oscillators or to use rotary joints. Measurement results for an antenna at 110 GHz are presented. A comparison t earlier data shows good agreement.

It is shown that integral equation formulations for electromagnetic field problems which amount to compact operators (as found e.g. in boundary integral or spectral domain approaches) are incomplete problem specifications for purposes of numerical solution. They describe problems which are ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. This difficulty becomes apparent after some implementation specific degree of problem complexity is reached. It is demonstrated that for electromagnetic field eigenvalue problems the consequence is a failure to detect any solution, except eventually spurious solutions if an inadequate discretization procedure is employed. It is concluded that integral equation formulations with compact operators must be accompanied by regularization conditions to yield a complete problem specification. Theoretical results are illustrated by numerical details from full-wave boundary integral equation analysis of a coplanar waveguide with conductors of finite thickness and finite conductivity.

The coplanar waveguide loaded inset dielectric guide is described in comparison with conventional coplanar waveguide, and analyzed using an integral equation method. This structure has several interesting features useful for microwave and millimeter wave applications. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effects of various structural and material parameters on propagation constant and characteristic impedance. By suitable choice of these parameters, a wide single-mode bandwidth and a wide range of characteristic impedance can be achieved. Comparison between computed and measured data shows good agreement.

Miniature low-pass and hand-pass filters that use novel 4-port short-line meshes (SLM) stacked in a multilayer MMIC structure are proposed. The SLM is a periodic structure of very short TFMS lines. It acts as a point connection at low frequencies and as a growing frequency-dependent connection in higher frequency regions. This feature is effectively combined with inductors and capacitors to build a 4-GHz low-pass filter and a 8-GHz band-pass filter with various stop band characteristics on a 1.4 mm × 1.2mm chip.

A new measurement procedure is developed for the determination of optoelectronic scattering parameters in fiber-optic devices working in microwave modulating frequency range. The measurement scheme is based on a microwave network analyzer and optoelectronic transducers to determiine the optical parameters by the use of corresponding electrical parameters. The application of the TMR (Through, Match, Reflect) calibration procedure for optical measurements is straightforward, which requires for the realization of the needed optical standards only commercially available elements. The error removal can be performed in a wide modulating frequency range both in transmission and reflection measurements. The validity of this measurement calibration procedure is demonstrated by some measurement examples.

In order to measure accurately the instantaneous real speed on the sea, a low cost Doppler radar has been developed in the W-band. The main parts of the device are a Gunn diode oscillator and a Schottky diode mixer integrated on the same printed circuit, on either side of the emission and reception system including a conical horn with a Fresnel zone plate, excited by the dipole antennas of emission and reception. The Doppler signal, which is obtained after mixing, must be in the order of tens of kHz.
