However a delicate compromise between noise figure, gain and intermodulation products must be achieved: this is why a \"working area\" for the amplifier has been defined from experimental degradation (Multipath fading, constructive interferences, ...). Each stage of the amplifier has been optimized for this goal and 5 dB noise figure and 23 dBm intercept point have been obtained for a 17 dB gain amplifier.","PeriodicalId":429268,"journal":{"name":"1978 8th European Microwave Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126604239","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}

Two 300 channel carriers can be transmitted and it is therefore necessary that each amplifier should present the following characteristics : a 300 MHz minimum bandwidth, a 4 dB maximum noise figure, a 1 dB gain compression point of at least + 26 dBm, a 0.5°/dB maximum AM/PM conversion, a nominal output power of 15.5 dBm per carrier (for a 6 foot antenna), and a 46 dB overall gain. In order that the total system noise power be less than 200 pW, we show that for a 50 km link, a ± 15 km displacement around the centre of the link can be tolerated. An amplifier was built which meets these specifications. The 2 input stages were optimised for minimum noise measure, and the output stages were optimised for minimum intermodulation. Such a repeater, whose d.c. consumption is low (12 W) could easily be powered by solar cells and could be used on many inaccessable sites.","PeriodicalId":429268,"journal":{"name":"1978 8th European Microwave Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131336811","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 method is exact under the homogeneous-dielectric assumption and yields excellent approximation for the microstrip case. The analysis is carried out by explicit formulae, ensuring high efficiency when numerically implemented.
