STUDY OF SOLID-STATE AND TRAVELING-WAVE MASER TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
The purpose of this program is to develop improved maser techniques and apply them to a broad-band maser system. The deliverable breadboard maser system has been fabricated, assembled, and initial testing has been completed. The unit basically provided gains of 30 db over 260 Mc of instantaneous bandwidth at 2.1 K. This inherent bandwidth far exceeds that obtained in any other maser known to date. Continued performance testing and limited modifications to the system are being made during the final phase of the program. An extension in time has been requested to enable this work to be completed. The semiconductor device program has been completed. This work has resulted in the development of techniques for limiting as well as modulating microwave signals. The results were presented at the recent PGMTT Symposium in Clearwater, Florida. (Author)
