RESEARCH ON SURVEILLANCE RADAR RECEIVERS AND TRANSPONDERS.

Abstract

Preliminary results for an X-band subharmonically pumped parametric amplifier investigation are reported. Parametric oscillations in the 9 - 10 gc range were realized, but parametric gain has not been achieved. C-Band tunnel diode amplifier work is summarized. Voltage gain bandwidth prod ucts up to 2.5 gc and noise figures as low as 5.1 db were realized using a strip transmission line amplifier. Preliminary data on a uhf transistor oscillator design and a single stage of varactor multiplication are presented. Evaluation results for three integrated circuit Standard Amplifying Modules using 2N834 transistors are reported. Gain and gain control characteristics agreed closely to predicted values; however, gain stability as a function of temperature was poor. Analytical design of the Standard Amplifying Mod ule using the 2N918 transistor is reported upon, along with design evaluation tests and integrated form layout for the new CE-CE con figuration. A filter module design and module layout is discussed and evaluated in conjunction with the new amplifier configuration. (Author)
