The switches use series and shunt FETs in single-pole four-throw (1P4T) and single-pole double-throw (1P2T) configurations, while the filters were designed using semi-lumped-element techniques. A preselector filter bank with postamplification was designed that consisted of four 5-pole Chebyshev bandpass topologies, with center frequencies of 1.5, 2.8, 4.9, and 9.2 GHz, respectively, and bandwidths slightly less than an octave. The LC filter realizations were designed using monolithic parallel plate (MIM) capacitors and high-impedance transmission lines for inductors. Realization of the inductor values was simplified by using tapped inductor techniques simulating an autotransformer, thus enabling the designer to select a variety of transforming ratios. Excellent channel-to-channel isolation, switching speed, and sensitivities, comparable to those of other much larger hybrid approaches, were obtained.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":339513,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":"15 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":"124067388","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}

An approach called T/R level data mixing, which utilizes fiber-optic transmission of data signal to individual T/R modules to be upconverted by an optically synchronized local oscillator, is demonstrated at 24 GHz. In this study, a free-running HEMT oscillator, used as a local oscillator at 24 GHz, is synchronized using indirect subharmonic optical injection-locking over a locking range of 14 MHz. Results of data-link performance over 500-1000 MHz is also reported in terms of gain-bandwidth, linearity and third-order intercept, sensitivity, and dynamic range.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":339513,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":"104 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":"127971945","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}
