Abstract:
An impedance match at the external terminals of an amplifier are simulated by cancelling any component of the signal wave reflected by the amplifier. At the input terminal of the amplifier, the cancelling wave is obtained by sampling the amplified signal and directionally coupling a portion thereof into the amplifier input network in a direction away from the amplifier. At the amplifier output terminal, the cancelling wave is obtained by sampling any wave reflected back towards the amplifier, and injecting a portion of this wave into the input end of the amplifier.
Abstract:
This application describes an active four-port having directional transmission properties. The four-port comprises two active members whose respective emitting, control and collecting electrodes are connected by means of separate networks characterized in that the symmetric mode transfer gain and the antisymmetric mode transfer gain, as measured between the control and collecting electrodes, are equal.
Abstract:
AN ELECTROMAGNETIC PARAMETRIC ACOUSTIC WAVE SENSOR COMPRISING A REACTIVE BRIDGE WHICH IS ENERGIZED BY MEANS OF A HIGH FREQUENCY PUMP SIGNAL. IN THE ABSENCE OF AN ACOUSTIC WAVE, THE BRIDGE IS BALANCED, PRODUCING NO OUTPUT SIGNAL. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ACOUSTIC WAVE THE BRIDGE IS UNBALANCED, PRODUCING A DOUBLE SIDEBAND, SUPPRESSED CARRIER OUTPUT SIGNAL. THE LATTER IS COUPLED TO A PHASE DETECTOR, ALONG WITH A COMPONENT OF PUMP SIGNAL, WHEREIN AN ELECTRICAL REPLICA OF THE ACOUSTIC INPUT SIGNAL IS PRODUCED.
