TRAVELING-WAVE TUBE MIXER PROGRAM
Abstract
Research is concerned with establishing design feasibility of a uni-envelope, single-electron beam device incorporating as many of the following functions as practicable: (1) low-noise r-f amplification, (2) local oscillation, (3) frequency mixing, and (4) IF amplification. A brief analysis is made of mixers in general, and a description is presented of the various specific approaches which are applicable to the solution of the problem of providing, within a single envelope, a device which will provide low noise amplification and frequency down conversion for millimeter input signals. Some preliminary experimental results are discussed which relate to 2 of the approaches and a general literature survey is included which provides background for the state of the art. (Author)
