    摘要: An apparatus for frequency up conversion and down conversion using frequency multiplier circuits. The frequency multiplier circuits receive a lower frequency signal and are operated in a forward direction to provide a higher frequency output. The same frequency multiplier circuits are operated in a reverse direction by receiving a higher frequency signal and producing a lower frequency output. The frequency multiplier circuits preferably use heterojunction barrier varactor diodes to eliminate the need for DC bias or idler circuitry.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a high frequency quasi optical oscillator power source is provided which includes an array of amplifier devices each having an input antenna tuned for a fundamental frequency. A amplifier coupled to the input antenna amplifies fundamental frequency signals. A multiplier coupled to the amplifier provides signals at a multiple of the fundamental frequency and at the fundamental frequency. The output antenna coupled to the multiplier is tuned at the fundamental frequency and at a multiple of the fundamental frequency. A grating lobe-to-main lobe converter located above the array of amplifier devices converts grating lobe power to main lobe power at the multiple of the fundamental frequency. A frequency selective reflector opposes the amplifier array to reflect signals at the fundamental frequency and to pass signals at the multiple of the fundamental frequency.

    摘要: A device for varying the capacitance of an electronic circuit is disclosed. The device comprises a flexible membrane located above the electronic circuit, a metal layer connected to the flexible membrane, and bias circuitry located above the membrane. Variation of the capacitance of the electronic circuit is obtained by pulling the membrane upwards by means of the bias circuitry. The disclosed device provides a sizeable capacitance variation and high Q factor, resulting in overall low filter insertion loss. A nearly constant group delay over a wide operating bandwidth is also obtained.

    摘要: A method for designing a multiple layer frequency selective surface structure. An overall response for the structure is specified. The desired response may be modeled as a filter response. Parameters for each of the layers making up the structure that provide the overall response are determined based on the polarization modes between the layers being decoupled. To provide for decoupling, the individual layers are rotated with respect to each other. The overall response of the structure is then calculated and compared to the desired response. Adjustments are made in the parameters of each layer until the calculated response is equal or nearly equal to the desired response.
