Components for a 14 GHz receiver were developed using the Miniature Ceramic Circuit (MCC) technology. These components are remarkable for their small size and high level of integration. MCC technology combines many of the desirable characteristics of the monolithic approach and with the flexibility of the hybrid approach.

We describe a new monolithic millimeter-wave semiconductor oscillator which is capable of supporting a contiguous sequence of charge domains in the drift channel. The frequency is not determined by a transit time effect, but rather by the spacing between adjacent domains, and can be electrically tuned from a few gigahertz to a few hundred gigahertz.

This report deals with the problem of nonlinearity characteristics in microwave power amplifiers for digital radio link systems with multi-level modulation (ex. 64 QAM); and in particular With reference to their degradations vs temperature variations. Moreover various possible methods of compensation are taken into account. After a brief examination of the not temperature controlled predistortion method operating at intermediate frequency, solutions are suggested to keep the non-linearity characteristics independent from thermal conditions. By presenting the experimental results and the comparative considerations, the use of the "feed-back controlled predistorter" and the "predictive method" is analysed.

The four noise parameters of room-temperature and cryogenically-cooled HEMT's have been investigated. Two previously described structures, the quantum- well HEMT [1] and the high-transconductance HEMT [2] have been tested and compared with noise parameters of a MESFET (NE67383). It was demonstrated that the cryogenic noise performance of a HEMT is dependent on light illumination and may be or may not be better than that of a MESFET, depending on the device structure. The minimum noise temperature of T/sub min/ = 10.5 +- 1.5K of the quantum-well HEMT, illuminated with light, measured at f = 8.4 GHz and T/sub a/ = 12.5K is the best yet published for field effect transistors.

Various microstrip components, including mixers, IMPATT oscillators, Gunn oscillators, doublers, and circulators, have been developed at W-band with state-of-the-art performance. The use of microstrip drastically reduces fabrication costs due to the less stringent machining tolerance. The design and performance of these components will be reported.

The current state-of-the-art in multipole SAW Resonator Filters is presented. Applications are discussed including preselector, I.F., and L.O. clean up filers. A brief review of their operation is presented along with a detailed explanation of their capabilities. Various tradeoffs are discussed for filters from 50 MHz to 1 GHz and from 0.02% to 0.2% fractional 3 dB bandwidths. The lntermodulation suppression of SAW Resonator Filters is presented in a later section.

A wide bandwidth diplexing feed system consisting of a pair of multihole corrugated directional couplers and a dual-depth corrugated horn, has been developed for satellite communication antenna applications. The feed has capacity to handle any arbitrary dual orthogonally polarized signals and to incorporate in dependent depolarization correction for these signals in the downlink and uplink. It shows a very good isolation between orthogonally polarized signals at each reused frequency over the recently allocated bands which extend from 3.4 to 4.2 GHz in the downlink and 5.85 to 6.775 GHz in the uplink for fixed satellite systems. Two modular devices which operate for high or low frequency beacon to extract difference modes for tracking purpose, are also described. Based on beacon allocation, the suitable module can be conveniently incorporated in the feed system without disturbing the electrical performances at the communication links.
