LONG LIFE K-BAND DUPLEXER.

Abstract

Research was continued on the development of a long life K-band three port duplexer. The gaseous TR tube development was directed toward design refinements on new tubes based on the test performance secured to date. New designs were evolved and tests on everall performance and life test data are presented. The microwave circuitry for limiter design was conceived and several circuits were evaluated using the PIN diodes. The PIN diode was shown to be unsatisfactory because of its slow response time. However, these diodes did provide information useful in circuit design. Finally, data is also presented on tests where the gas TR tube and a semiconductor limiter combination were subjected to high power. Leakage power and crystal protection were subjected to high power. Leakage power and crystal protection data taken in tests on this configuration are presented. (Author)
