PSEUDO PASSIVE SATELLITE TECHNIQUE STUDY.
Abstract
The Pseudo Passive Satellite Technique uses antenna elements with incorporated tunnel diode amplifiers placed on a surface to increase the scattering cross section of the surface. The study results give stability criteria for the coupled tunnel diode amplifiers, scattering patterns of arrays of antenna elements and criteria to eliminate lobing in the pattern, and tunnel diode amplifier and element design criteria. Experimental results of tunnel diode reliability and parameter variations with temperature are given. An array of X-band integrated antenna elements and tunnel diode amplifiers was tested. Based on the results of the above investigations, the Pseudo Passive Satellite Technique is feasible. (Author)
