摘要:
An acoustic surface wave device and a method of constructing such a device which has much lower spurious responses resulting in improved operation. In a specific embodiment, the back surface of the surface wave device is treated by sand blasting or the like to form a plurality of depressions therein which act to randomly scatter undesired modes in the substrate thereby materially improving the device response.
摘要:
A microwave signal is delayed for a predetermined time period with a minimal production of undesired spurious RF signals by providing a resistive termination for undelayed input microwave signals reflected by an acoustic delay means and an output conductive path from the input microwave signals delayed by the acoustic delay means.
摘要:
Apparatus for providing time delay, frequency selectivity and/or switching of electromagnetic wave energy, that includes, a single- or multilayer magnetic material adapted, when magnetized, to convert electromagnetic wave energy in air, for example, to spin wave energy in the material, the electromagnetic wave energy being subjected to an abrupt discontinuity in the equilibrium environmental parameters to effect such conversion. The electromagnetic wave is converted within the material to a combination of evanescent and propagating spin waves. By controlling the abruptness of said discontinuity, it is possible, as discussed herein, to control the rate of decay ( Alpha ) of the evanescent wave and the wave number (k) of the spin wave thereby to control the rate of conversion and determine, further, the wavenumber of the spin wave. It has been found, for present purposes, that when Alpha k, the group velocity of the spin wave is minimum, thus making possible the use of thin films to provide substantial delay. There is also described apparatus and method in which the power within the material can be directed at some angle to the direction of the incoming wave to provide some time delay but, more importantly, to provide switching and/or filtration of an input signal; the latter apparatus and method do not ordinarily relate to thin film although thin film may be used. Further, operation is generally in the region of Alpha >>k.

The impedance of delay lines (particularly acoustic delay lines) is matched to the microwave source utilizing active networks synthesized from inverted common collector transistor circuits. The active inductance and negative resistance generated by the inverted common collector transistor circuits are connected across input terminals of the delay line and matching is improved by connecting an active negative resistance in series between source input terminal and a delay line input terminal.
