ELECTRONICS RESEARCH PROGRAM. INVESTIGATION OF MILLIMETER-WAVE MODULATION AND SIGNAL PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Research concerns an investigation millimeterwave modulation and signal processing techniques. The purpose of this investigation is to advance the technology and determine the feasibility of millimeter-wave communication systems in the region between 10 mm (30 Gc) and 1 mm (300 Gc). Initial effort centers on two problem areas: low-noise receiver front-ends and stable millimeter-wavelength reference sources. A parametric amplifier approach to low- noise receiver design is being studied, as is the use of a phase-locked klystron system as a possible stable reference source. Fabrication and design status of the klystron system is presented.
