In addition, a careful control of spurious responses is also required in order to guarantee an adequate protection from high-level input interfering signals, which may degrade the performance of the receiver. Both these requirements can be accomplished by a simple and cost-effective design approach, based on rectangular waveguide resonator. Fast and accurate simulation and measured response of a specific design are also compared, demonstrating that the proposed solution is practical and reliable.","PeriodicalId":250660,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Sympsoium Digest (Cat.

In this technique two or more chips without housing are mounted on a single substrate and connected by each other, resulting in very small and compact elements. An important role for the quality of this modular concept is the performance of the connecting structures and external devices like DC-blocks or line crossings between the ICs. In this contribution various elements are analysed by the TLM method. A deembedding technique for the S-parameter calculation is presented and windowing functions for the time-domain signals are investigated in order to decrease the computation time. Results are demonstrated for the S-parameters of interdigital capacitors and a balun transformer and compared to measurements.","PeriodicalId":250660,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Sympsoium Digest (Cat.

A new type of fan beam antenna for marine radar use has been fabricated by locating the radiator in the focal point of the cylindrical parabolic reflector.

Specifically, it shows that IS-95 format CDMA signals can be generated with a single bit digital data stream at 3.6 Gb/S. The technique uses band-pass delta-sigma modulation so that the quantization noise is shaped out of the frequency band of interest. This approach points the way to single-chip, DSP-based transmitters, used in conjunction with switching mode power amplifiers and simple analog filters, to implement all the functions of a wireless transmitter.","PeriodicalId":250660,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Sympsoium Digest (Cat.

The I-V characteristics of the FET are obtained for the different models. The RF voltage gain and the S parameters can be compared. This is the first time that such an analysis is performed. The wave device interactions occurring in the FET can be modeled using various physical models.
