Accordingly, exact PDF-based and Fourier-based expressions are obtained for both performance criteria. As for the fading condition, channels may differ in degree and model, including Nakagami-m and Rice distributions. Numerical examples reveal that power unbalance strongly deteriorates the combiner's performance, and may render the system performing worse than a non-diversity scheme. Effects of fading conditions are shown to be less influential in the performance, mainly at high signal levels.","PeriodicalId":156662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2003 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference - IMOC 2003.

Relevant ADE electrical properties are compared with the corresponding characteristics of the Cassegrain geometry (a configuration commonly used in high-gain spacecraft applications). It is shown that the ADE is capable of operating efficiently with electric apertures considerably smaller than the Cassegrain geometry, an important feature for small spacecraft. To demonstrate the outstanding electric performance that can be expected from the ADE, the predicted and measured results of an X-band 1250 mm aperture diameter prototype are presented.","PeriodicalId":156662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2003 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference - IMOC 2003.

This standard is based on difference-frequency generation (DFG) in a periodically-poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide using a continuous-wave Nd:YAG laser at 1064.2 nm and a continuous-wave HeNe laser at 632.8 nm, allowing for a frequency standard at 1561 nm which is derived directly from two internationally-accepted primary standards. In preliminary experiments using unstabilized commercial lasers we generated tip to 0.2 /spl mu/W at 1561 nm using only 24 mW at 1064.2 nm (TM/sub 00/ mode) and 28 /spl mu/W at 632.8 nm (TM/sub 01/ mode). The maximum measured conversion efficiency was 4 % W/sup -1/cm/sup -2/. Much higher output powers and conversion efficiencies are expected with an optimized PPLN waveguide designed to allow mixing of only TM/sub 00/ modes, This is also, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of DFG using a HeNe laser.","PeriodicalId":156662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2003 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference - IMOC 2003.

In THz-photomixers, typically based on photoconductivity in \"low-temperature-grown-GaAs.\" (LT-GaAs), the performance is typically limited by the (very low) photoconductive gain and depends critically on an extremely short lifetime of photo-generated charge carriers in LT-GaAs. In contrast to those devices, in our photomixer the gain does not depend on the recombination lifetime but only on the transit time and on the path length of the photo-generated electrons within suitably designed p-i-n nanostructures, which both can be optimised for (primarily) ballistic transport. In addition, impedance matching to the attached antenna can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":156662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2003 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference - IMOC 2003.
