We review the propagation of Gaussian beams of radiation through asymmetric elements which focus in only one direction perpendicular to the axis of propagation: these are most commonly cylindrical lenses or mirrors. We develop formulas for Gaussian beam imaging with fixed total distance between input and output waists, and use them to derive simple expressions for the case where the input and output waists are located in the same plane. This situation is required for correcting the beam patterns of certain types of feedhorns to improve the symmetry of their radiation patterns, as well as for the illumination of asymmetric antennas. A cylindrical lens has been used to transform the symmetric beam of a 100 GHz scalar feedhorn into an elliptical pattern; the results are in good agreement with the imaging formulas and demonstrate the utility of this technique.

A theoretical and experimental investigation is made to determine the feasibility of transmitting analog video signal over fiber at 1.3 µm. Effects of LED current and optical modulation index on various parameters such as second and third order intetmodulation, and differential gain (DG) and differential phase (DP) were evaluated. Preemphasis effects on signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and DG and DP were also presented. Experimental results were in close agreement with theory.

An experimental 3-band varactor diode power upconverter for SSB-AM communications has been linearized by predistortion at IF. Several types of simple predistortion linearizes have been tested and compared. Linearization factors from 10 to 22 dB have been achieved within a frequency band of 40 MHz or a dynamic range of 10 to 20 dB.

The singular integral equation technique is used to determine the normal modes of propagation in general planar transmission lines. Taking fin-lines as example it is demonstrated, how high-order modes can effectively and accurately be calculated. Some of these modes show an unusual evanescent nature for certain combinations of parameters. The modes of this type exist always in pairs with their squared propagation constants being complex conjugate.

A novel GaAs FET oscillator circuit is presented. This circuit is capable of reducing phase noise up to 20 db. A source-coupled pair of GaAs FETs has a balanced characteristic which can eliminate both the reactive and resistive modulation mechanisms which upconvert l/f noise. This circuit is inherently broadband and ideal for monolithic implementations.

A method based on the exact image theory to calculate the near field distribution of a horn antenna in direct contact with the skin is introduced. Being exact, the method is not restricted by parameter values and can be applied in optimization of horn aperture function to produce focus fields in the human body. The method observes the effect of the skin layer and can be applied for an arbitrary aperture function. The optimization is demonstrated with few examples.

Techniques have previously been developed to determine the scattering parameters for lines or guides witn a single geometric step discontinuity ([1], [2], [7]). However, for a system with more than one closely spaced discontinuity the field interaction between the discontinuities must be taken into account. A technique outlined below, can in theory handle any number of closely spaced discontinuities.

The spectral domain technique is used to analyze multiconductor printed transmission-line structures containing layered dielectric substrate. Starting from general analytical formulation a useful modification of the procedure is suggesteti for accurate description of multiconductor interdigitated microstrip circuit with equally dimensioned conductors. Frequency dependent numerical results for some new microstrip and coplanar structures with more than two coupled lines are shown, discussed with respect to high-directivity multiconductor coupler applications.
