The model precisely predicts such empirically observed phenomena as limited out-of-band isolation, generation of extra transmission zeros, and asymmetric responses. The model parameters can be determined from simple measured data. Experimental verification of the model is carried out and the measurements also provide useful data for the design and prediction of canonical data mode filters responses.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":339513,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132924210","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 resulting structure, called a stackFET, is essentially an optimum implementation of a dual-gate GaAs FET in which the gain of the two FETs is combined in a series biased, DC-coupled arrangement. The RF interconnection of the stackFET is such that each individual FET acts as if it is operating in RF common-source mode, rather than a common-source/common-gate cascode combination. This results in much higher gain and stability, and very well-behaved matching and automatic gain control characteristics. A stackFET-based balanced amplifier module giving 22.5 dB of gain over the 2-8-GHz band is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":339513,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133227649","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}

A method of observing specific arc locations in parallel-coupled stripline filters using a conventional oscilloscope camera is described. Experiments were performed with a network analyzer and with two 1-MW pulsed sources at S-band and X-band frequencies, respectively. The results were used to develop models of the parallel-coupled-stripline filters. These models are in good agreement with the low-power S-parameter data from network analyzer measurements made on the filters. High-power models were constructed using zero impedance paths to represent arcs. These models extend limited high-power data, giving the wideband responses of the filters under conditions of breakdown.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":339513,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122007927","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}
