The transmission medium used is integrated finline which is potentially cheap to produce and has lower loss than microstrip while remaining compatible with beam lead diodes. The performance obtained is comparable with that obtained using conventional techniques but the low cost circuit technology is suitable for mass production.","PeriodicalId":128931,"journal":{"name":"1979 9th European Microwave Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131208372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most critical element in the design of the 6 GHz DQPSK-OBWR is the one-bit (16.67 nsec) delay line which was fabricated in a lightweight MIC configuration using barium-tetratitanate substrates to provide an RF-phase stability of less than ±l.5° over operating temperature variations of at least ±15°C. Using a ±35 MHz bandpass filter (see section 4) and for OBWR temperatures ranging from 10°C to 40°C, all the measured bit-error-rate performance characteristics are within 0.7 dB from theory.","PeriodicalId":128931,"journal":{"name":"1979 9th European Microwave Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115926575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first mapping is done from a quite arbitrarily shaped conductor set to the upper half-plane with the conductors along the boundary line. The second step is a transformation to a rectangular region with two opposite conductors and magnetic sidewalls to achieve a homogeneous field configuration. The rest of the conductors are transformed into double-sided parallel slits in the magnetic walls. Therefore they do not disturb the homogeneous field if they are given the proper potential. This configuration is used for the computation of the wave impedance matrix.
