New Types of Microstrip Antennas for the Applications Typically, patch antennas are narrowband and their Q factor is inversely proportional to frequency. The main reason for the high Q factor is that patch antennas are essentially circuits printed on a relatively thin substrate: the higher the dielectric, the higher...

Static Fractional: The True Fractional Division Method of Indirect Synthesis A significant development of the indirect frequency synthesis method, called fractional-N, has been developed recently. This article shows that this dynamic method is only one of two possible ways for the implementation of the fractional division idea. The second...

Antenna Systems for Polarization Diversity During the last couple of years, antennas for mobile networks have sprouted up like gladioli all over our downtown areas. For aesthetic reasons and due to the fact that it has become more expensive to acquire the rights to install antennas on buildings and...

SiGe MMICs and Flip-chip MICs for Low Cost Microwave Systems Recent progress in SiGe device technology has improved cutoff frequencies of these devices to beyond 200 GHz. Such high speed transistors fabricated on low cost Si substrates allow high levels of integration as well as the development of low...

Major Advances in Phased Arrays: Fast One This article is the first of a two-part series that describes the major accomplishments in phased arrays, and new-age MMIC ground-based and airborne arrays. Significant advances have been made in the last 35 years in the area of electronically steerable phase-phase scanned...

Components Parametric Bandpass Filters These parametric bandpass filters are designed for local multipoint distribution system wireless applications. The filters feature constant delay, high selectivity, small size and low cost, and can be used to transmit and receive data at rapid rates in limited bandwidth channels. The filters utilize a...
