APPLICATION OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES TO HIGH POWER DUPLEXERS.
Abstract
Techniques were investigated which show promise for extending the power handling capability of semiconductors when used as duplexers. High power testing were performed on the duplexer cir cuit described in the fourth quarterly report. This was found to be able to sustain 1.5 mega watts of peak power and 3 kilowatts of average power with an operating pulse length of 5 micro seconds when an externally obtained bias was ap plied to the diodes during the onset of the high peak power. Based on this performance together with that obtained for self-biased diode duplexers, the capability of the self-biased duplexer made with these techniques is estimated. Recommendations for further development effort in order to exploit the usefulness of the tech niques here developed were made. (Author)
