A new switching accuracy specification for such modulators is outlined which is directly related to system requirements. The modulator described employs PIN diode switches serially connected on a single MIC. Cross-talk degradations inherent in this approach are negligible due to the very short transition times achieved. The unit operates without adjustment over a minimum of half the 10.7-11.7 GHz band, and maintains this performance over a temperature range of 10°-60°C. Good system performance has been demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":128931,"journal":{"name":"1979 9th European Microwave Conference","volume":"4 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":"116885278","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}

According to this principle, the diodes are strongly coupled to a low-Q resonant circuit. The modes and resonant frequencies depend heavily upon the diode reactances. The flat cavity combiner which is described involves special techniques for suppressing unwanted parasitic modes without absorbing power on the desired TM 010 mode. A four diode structure delivers 5 W around 10 GHz, with a nearly 100% power adding efficiency and a 400 MHz locking bandwidth for a 10 dB gain. At Ku band, power combining of six 2.5 W nominal GaAs diodes inside a dielectric circular cavity, is presented.","PeriodicalId":128931,"journal":{"name":"1979 9th European Microwave Conference","volume":"65 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":"114648045","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}

On principle they are dielectric filled waveguides of about semicircular cross-section. They are manufactured by warming up a thermo-plastic dielectric rectangular strip on a metal plate until it begins to flow and assumes the desired cross-section. Then the strip on the plate is evaporated with a metal layer, the thickness of which is enlarged by electroforming. When compared to other new MIC types the main advantages are the absent radiation loss in bends, space saving design possibilities at acceptable waveguide attenuation. A directional coupler made in this new technology shows the feasibility of the proposed process. Results of measurements near 40 GHz are shown.","PeriodicalId":128931,"journal":{"name":"1979 9th European Microwave Conference","volume":"113 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":"116545603","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}
