INTRODUCTION This paper is concerned with the connection between the varactor equivalent circuit and harmonic generator performance. Substantial progress has recently been made in the detailed analysis of multiplier circuits by several workers; these results will likely be published in the near future. Instead of borrowing from these new...

This article presents a high gain and efficiency Doherty amplifier for WLAN mobile base stations with three advanced methods. First, a Doherty amplifier is developed with uneven power drive, which provides more input power to the peak amplifier for full power operation and appropriate load modulation. Second, a special...

This year is the 50 th anniversary of Microwave Journal . As is frequently the response to such noteworthy occasions, the editors, in their unquestionable wisdom, have invited old codgers like me to create retrospectives on microwave technology. I never thought it would have happened, but the older I...

Raytheon Co. played a pivotal role in the February 20 th successful intercept of a non-functioning satellite. The company’s Standard Missile-3 was specially modified for its unique operation, performing beyond its intended capabilities to intercept the target 153 miles over the Pacific Ocean. Much engineering and technical expertise went...

Northrop Grumman Corp. is one of two companies awarded a contract by the US Army to design and demonstrate a prototype missile interceptor weapon system that will defend warfighters against rocket, artillery and mortar (RAM) threats. As part of the first phase of a multi-phase program spanning five years,...

The European Space Agency’s director general Jean-Jacques Dordain and European Commission director general for Enterprise & Industry, Heinz Zourek, have signed an agreement, which establishes the allocation of an EC budget of €624 M to ESA as a contribution to the implementation of the GMES Space Component (GSC). This...

Flomerics’ MicReD subsidiary will play a major role in the recently announced European-funded NANOPACK project, which aims to address thermal barriers to continued performance increases in semiconductors and power electronics by developing new technologies and materials for low thermal resistance interfaces and electrical interconnects. The NANOPACK consortium, which is...

TATA Advanced Systems (TASL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Industries, along with leading Tata technology companies (TATA Consultancy Services and TATA Power SED) is joining forces with EADS Defence & Security (EADS DS) to form a high tech team partnership to bid for the Indian Army’s $1 B...
