摘要： A planar phase shifter formed of multiple layers of a ferrite. Selected layers of the ferrite are patterned with a conductor and the multiple layers of magnetic dielectric and conductor are cofired. The phase shifter is fabricated by first obtaining ferrite powder. Then, layers of the ferrite are made, preferably by tape casting. Next the ferrite layers are metallized by applying selected amounts of conductive metals in a selected pattern upon the tape. Selected numbers of vias are placed through selected layers of tape and conductive metal is placed in the vias to provide vertical connections through the layers. The tape layers are then stacked in a predetermined order and are laminated. The laminated stack of layers is then fired to a temperature of approximately 800.degree. C. to 1000.degree. C., sintering the laminated layers into one integrated structure.

摘要： A frequency selective limiting device is described incorporating a plurality of individual attenuating units spaced apart from one another in substantially parallel relation and positioned between a pair of ground planes. Each individual attenuating unit is interposed between a pair of magnetic strips. In one embodiment of the invention, each individual attenuating unit includes a microstrip conductor positioned between a dielectric substrate layer and a layer of ferrite material. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, each individual attenuating unit includes a microstrip conductor positioned between a pair of planar ferrite members, the pair of ferrite members and microstrip conductor being mechanically supported by a dielectrical substrate layer. In both embodiments of the invention, adjacent attenuating units are serially connected by microstrip jumpers to provide a flow path for microwave signals passed through the limiting device. The plurality of ferrite members in association with the plurality of magnetic strips are operable to attenuate by a predetermined level a microwave signal above a preselected threshold power level passed through the limiting device.

摘要： A frequency selective limiting device is described incorporating a planar ferrite member and at least one signal-carrying conductor positioned thereon. A conductor is located on the ferrite member to confine a portion of an RF magnetic field produced by the microwave signals within the ferrite member. In one embodiment of the invention, the conductor comprises coplanar ground planes positioned adjacent to the signal-carrying conductor, thereby forming a coplanar waveguide. Alternatively a pair of coplanar conductors may form a slot line. In another embodiment a second ferrite member is positioned in confronting relationship with the first ferrite member carrying the conductors.

摘要： The signal-to-noise enhancer can be used in frequency memory loops to prevent loop capture by noise. If a frequency selective limiter is incorporated in the loop, more than one signal can be stored simultaneously because the limiter prevents the loop amplifier from saturating. At present, the limiter must be a separate device. The frequency selective signal-to-noise enhancer/limiter apparatus comprises an enhancer apparatus and a limiter apparatus on a single substrate, using a single pair of magnets to bias both units.

摘要： A phased array includes a first plurality of radiators having a first polarization and a second plurality of radiators having a second polarization, different from said first polarization. The phased array is constructed such that radiating patterns of the first and second plurality of radiators are congruent. The radiators are constructed so that they radiating apertures thereof can occupy virtually the same space, i.e., the spacing of the radiating elements is less than a wavelength. Other features provided allow this compactness to be achieved. Impedance matching features are integrated into the radiators themselves. The elevation assemblies of the radiators are mated together, and then are coupled across to their respective azimuth assemblies. Two azimuth assemblies for either type of polarization may be provided when monopulse operation is required. Assemblies for both polarizations transmit sequentially, but receive simultaneously, thus allowing a complete polarization matrix to be collected with two pulse transmissions.

摘要： The present invention provides for a low power receiver protector and stepped attenuator for conditioning a received input signal within a microwave receiver front end. The low power receiver protector includes a detector for generating a surge signal in response to the received input signal exceeding a predetermined threshold, a delay line for delaying the received input signal for fixed duration, and a limiter for reducing the voltage of the received input signal in response to the generation of the surge signal. The stepped attenuator includes a plurality of cells each having an attenuation transmission path which includes an attenuator for providing a predetermined amount of attenuation of the received input signal. Each attenuation transmission path, bypass transmission path and delay line comprise a high temperature superconductor to provide minimal loss and reduced size.
