High Gain MMICs The AE314 and AE312 are GaAs E-PHEMT MMICs with superior distortion characteristics aimed at the FTTx, CATV and broadcasting markets. The AE314 is a cascade amplifier with a typical gain of 22 dB. DC to 1 GHz, or DC to 2 GHz matching application is provided...

Detecting and Classifying Low Probability of Intercept Radar; Second Edition Phillip E. Pace This comprehensive book presents Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radar design essentials, including ambiguity analysis of LPI waveforms, FMCW radar, and phase-shift and frequency-shift keying techniques. Moreover, it details new OTHR modulation schemes, noise radar and...

A novel stop-band frequency selective surface (FSS) is presented. By adding four narrow branches to conventional square-loop FSS, the proposed FSS can achieve a good frequency stability for different oblique angles and a high frequency selective ability. An equivalent circuit model is used to analyze its transmission property. Due...

Enhancement-mode PHEMTs significantly extend the usefulness of GaAs RFICs for general-purpose RF component designs. To demonstrate the technology’s benefits, this article demonstrates a 2 to 3 GHz GaAs PHEMT RF pulse modulator operating off a single, positive supply voltage, switched by a TTL-level logic signal. Active gate bias networks,...

Power density of the new communications systems supporting the networked battlefield can be four times lower than that of the AM/FM radios they replace due to the use of advanced modulation techniques to improve data throughput of Net-Centric communications systems. These software-defined radios must operate over wide transmit bandwidths,...

An ultra high resolution radar is one of many promising areas of UWB applications because of its inherent nature of ultra wide bandwidth.1 In theory, UWB radar could achieve the ultra high range resolution of up to 2 cm if a single antenna could cover the whole UWB frequency...

Holzworth has released a product line of ultra low phase noise, multi-channel CW sources that incorporate up to eight independently tunable channels inside a single 1U high housing. One example is the HS3008A, 3 GHz RF synthesizer, which is capable of tuning frequencies from 8 MHz to 3 GHz...

Phase stability with respect to temperature has a direct impact on system performance and is therefore an important characteristic for high frequency components and subassemblies. Enhanced phase tracking with temperature translates into lower residual noise and reduced system uncertainties. Cable assemblies interconnecting critical high frequency signal paths will also...
