    摘要: A control network operates a GaAs FET with a quiescent current closer to the maximum output current, I.sub.max, than to zero current. An output network couples the FET to the load and is characterized as having a low impedance at a fundamental frequency and a high impedance lower than an open circuit impedance at at least the second harmonic frequency. As a result, the peak voltage on the output terminal is greater than two times the supply voltage. A preamplifier raises the level of the input signal so that it has a positive voltage peak when biased by the control network and applied to the input terminal. This overdrives the FET and produces an output current that is at the maximum output current level for a longer time during each cycle than the output current is at a minimum level. This enhances the effect of the output network to produce an output voltage spike on the FET that is several times the DC voltage. The amplifier is part of an amplifier system that also includes a switch coupled between the DC supply and the FET that is responsive to a control signal. A circuit is responsive to the input signal for generating the control signal appropriate for disconnecting the DC voltage supply from the FET when there is no input signal.

    摘要: A driven element is disposed on an antenna axis for transmission of electromagnetic energy in a transmission direction along the antenna axis. First and second parasitic arrays are disposed on opposite sides of the antenna axis in the transmission direction from the driven element. At least a portion of the antenna axis adjacent to the parasitic arrays is without parasitic elements. Each parasitic array has a plurality of parallel parasitic elements or directors spaced apart along a respective array line that includes a proximal portion adjacent to the driven element that extends in a general direction that is at an acute angle to the transmission direction. The first and second parasitic arrays are sufficiently close to the antenna axis to produce a radiation pattern that has a lobe with greatest magnitude in the transmission direction.

    摘要: A microstrip filter having a plurality of parallel resonant conductors mounted on a dielectric substrate is tuned by applying a portion of a hot-melt type glue to the filter surface. The glue is melted and then deposited on the conductors and spread across and along the conductors until the filter has a desired frequency response. The glue is then cooled until it becomes solid.

    摘要: This microstrip comb line filter includes a planar dielectric substrate, and a planar ground member positioned on one side of the dielectric substrate and extending along a first portion of the substrate. There is a second portion of the substrate along which the ground member does not extend, thereby forming a cavity filled with air. A plurality of generally parallel, electromagnetically coupled and spaced-apart, elongate microstrip conductors are positioned on the other side of the dielectric substrate. One end of each of the conductors is positioned adjacent to the first portion of the substrate and connected to the ground member. The other end of each of the conductors is electrically spaced from the ground member and positioned adjacent to the second portion of the substrate. The air cavity extends along at least half the length of the conductors.
