摘要： An K-band amplifier circuit (10) with two samplers (12, 18) coupled to detectors (22, 26) that detect an input and an output RF signal level. These two reference signals are provided to a differential gain control circuit (24) which is coupled to one or more variable gain amplifier (VGA) (14) stages. The VGAs compensate for the gain of an entire chain of amplifiers (16). When the individual amplifier gains vary for any reason, (i.e., process, temperature effects or end of life degradation) the variation in gain causes higher or lower levels of detected output reference signals for a given RF input signal. The gain control circuit (24) drives the VGA (14) up or down as appropriate. By maintaining a constant offset in input and output reference control signals, the gain control circuit (24) drives the amplifier chain (16) to a constant gain.

摘要： A power amplifier (10) suitable for satellite cellular communication systems provides highly efficient linear amplification of noise-like RF signals that have multiple carriers spread over a large instantaneous bandwidth. The amount of distortion present in the output is detected (14, 16, 18) and a feedback signal is provided to control the bias point of the active devices. As drive levels increase, the increased harmonic distortion power detected causes the power amplifier bias to increase thus reducing distortion. The control circuit (20) continually re-biases the power amplifier (12) for maximum efficiency for a predetermined level of distortion. The control circuit (20) may be adjusted to maximize efficiency while maintaining an allowable distortion level over the entire dynamic range of the devices.

摘要： A harmonic generator (20) converts an input signal (24) at a fundamental frequency (28) into an output signal (32) at a harmonic frequency (34). A non-linear device (22) converts the input signal (24) into an intermediate signal (38) in which the harmonic frequency (34) has a maximized amplitude (40) determined by a conduction angle (26). A harmonic filter (68) produces a filtered signal (70) proportional to the amplitude (40) of the harmonic frequency (34) within the intermediate signal (38). A detector (80) produces a control signal (82) proportional to the amplitude of the filtered signal (70). A control circuit (84) produces a variable bias signal (50) for non-linear device (22), bias signal (50) being proportional to the amplitude of the control signal (82) and determining the conduction angle (26). An output filter (88) converts the intermediate signal (38) into an output signal (32) at the harmonic frequency (34).

摘要： An integrated microstrip (14) to suspended stripline (24) transition structure and method for fabricating the same provide a transition from microstrip (14) to suspended stripline (24) transmission line with minimal electrical discontinuity and insensitivity due to misalignment. A conductor (10) has a constant width, while gradually tapering voids (44,42) in ground planes (36, 38) provide a suspended stripline (24) transmission medium. The gradually tapering voids (44, 42) provide impedance transformation and minimize discontinuities during transition due to fabrication tolerances.

摘要： A method (140) for tuning millimeter-wave FET amplifiers (20) during manufacture, through the application (144) of a gate bias voltage (52) so as to tune the FET (22) of the amplifier (20) to match an input circuit (24), and through the application (146) of a drain bias voltage (74) so as to tune the FET (22) of the amplifier (20) to match an output circuit (26), then measuring (150) the frequency response of the amplifier (20). This tuning method (140) is repeated (152) until a predetermined frequency response has been achieved. Once achieved, the predetermined frequency response is realized (154) by permanently fixing the gate bias voltage (52) and the drain bias voltage (74) at the determined values. This iterative method (140) of tuning amplifiers (20) is then repeated for all amplifiers (20) to be tuned.

摘要： A method and apparatus for efficiently interconnecting a large number of high frequency high bandwidth signals includes two interface plates (100, 200), each having two substantially coplanar faces, a mating face (110, 210) and a non-mating face (120, 220). Each interface plate has waveguides (116, 216) disposed between the coplanar faces such that when the mating faces of the interface plates are brought together, a plurality of waveguide connections are made. An energy absorbing gasket (300) having a hole pattern matching the waveguide pattern is disposed between the mating faces of the interface plates so that reflections caused by misalignment and non-coplanarity of faces can be reduced.

摘要： An RF power detector (10) includes an RF detector circuit (12), a nonlinear feedback amplifier (14), a temperature compensation circuit (16) and a linear feedback amplifier circuit (18). The RF detector circuit converts an RF signal to a voltage representative of the RF signals power level. Nonlinear feedback amplifier (14) nonlinearly amplifies the voltage and compensates for the nonlinearities of the RF detector circuits detector elements. Temperature compensation element provides a temperature compensation signal to compensate for the temperature effects of the detector elements of RF detector circuit (12). The output signal of RF power detector (10) is a substantially linearly representation of the RF input signals power level. Nonlinear feedback amplifier (14) includes a nonlinear feedback circuit (30) with a nonlinear feedback element (32) in the feedback path of op-amp (42). Power detection at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies is accomplished with the high dynamic range, high sensitivity, low minimum detection level and temperature sensitivity. The RF power detector is very producable and requires virtually no manual circuit tailoring or tuning.

摘要： An extremely broad band high power termination (10) for microwave and millimeter frequency amplifiers combines a standard resistive low frequency termination (15) with a broad band high frequency absorptive element (13) using an absorptive material such as Eccosorb. A mid-band matching network (14) is provided between the resistive termination (15) and the Eccosorb absorptive element (13). The Eccosorb absorbs the energy of the higher microwave frequencies while the resistor absorbs energy at low frequencies. Accordingly, a much higher power handling capability in a compact planer environment is achieved. This termination (10) is suitable use for use in K-band power amplifier combiners (30) that require high isolation and high power handling capability of the isolated ports (35).
