The model is capable of accurate simulation of small-signal S-parameters over the data-acquisition bias range. In addition to the dc current sources, the model contains two quasi-static charge sources and RF current sources, which are generated by integration of respective intrinsic small-signal element values with respect to the port voltages. All equivalent elements are obtained by cubic spline interpolation. Extrapolation of the model beyond the measurement range is taken into account. The model is extracted by an in-house software without involving optimization. The validity of the model is demonstrated by comparing the simulation of small-signal S-parameters over a wide bias range and power performance to the measured data.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

The transmission lines consist of pairs of parallel-plate waveguides, each waveguide formed from two deep (150 /spl mu/m) suspended single crystal silicon (SCS) beams. This transmission is achieved through the integration of SCREAM (single crystal reactive etching and metallization) technology adapted for very high aspect ratio structures with thick copper sputter deposition. The integration of these processes allows for the deposition of thick (>.5 /spl mu/m) metal on the sidewalls and attenuation characteristics better than 0.17 dB/mm over the 10-48 GHz frequency range.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

Superresolution methods enable resolution of signals separated by less than the natural beamwidth of the array. This ability enables the algorithms to separate the closely spaced signals encountered in a multipath environment. The algorithm is termed loaded capon and is shown to be capable of operating on data sets containing a limited number of data points. The new algorithm is shown to be robust in both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise environments. Simulated and measured data, recorded on a multi-channel direction finding system, are used to demonstrate the algorithm's superior performance robustness over both the standard MVE and eigen-based techniques such as MUSIC.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

Its main feature consists of a microwave switch, a symmetrical bootlace lens which is a beam forming device like Rotman (1963) lens, and linearly arrayed antennas. Each beam port of the symmetrical bootlace lens is designed to give a linear phase front across the radiating elements, yielding a radiation spatially summed in a direction normal to the phase front. Furthermore, a few watts small power amplifiers may be inserted between the array ports of the lens and radiating elements to replace the conventional single high power amplifier and heavy cable runs and fixed directive sector antenna with a cost-effective tower-top phased array antenna. These concepts are checked by experimental results.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.
