TWO TERMINAL CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROWAVE MONOLITHIC ELEMENTS Christopher M Snowden, Gary P Doades, Michael J Howes and David V Morgan ABSTRACT The characterization technique described allows microwave devices such as MESFETs and TEDs to be readily investigated providing information on the operating conditions and device-circuit interaction. Planar devices are modelled due to their role

AN INTEGRATED SCATTERING- AND NOISE PARAMETER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM W.A.M. Beuwer ABSTRACT By addition of noise measuring equipment to an existing semi-automatic Network Analyser System, Scattering and Noise Parameters of linear twoports can now accurately be measured in a relative easy and fast way, over a frequency band from 1,8 - 18 GHz. To reach this goal an HP9845B desktop comp

A SIMPLE ATTENUATOR MULTIPORT REFLECTOMETER USING FIXED PROBES AND AN ADJUSTABLE Ulrich Stumper ABSTRACT A simple microwave multiport network for the determination of complex reflection coefficients is described. It is characterized by the detection of the standing wave pattern generated by the unknown load through an adjustable attenuator, by means of a number of fixed probes. With this

A HOMODYNE NETWORK ANALYZER WITH IMAGE ERROR CORRECTION OLAF OSTWALD and BURKHARD SCHIEK ABSTRACT: In homodyne network analyzer systems the most important errors are caused by an inadequate suppression of the image sideband. A procedure is described which determines the complex magnitude of the image sideband via calibration measurements and eliminates the corresponding image errors. T

LANGE-COUPLER USING MICROSTRIPS ON ANISOTROPIC SUBSTRATES Adaildo Gomes d'Assun~ao* and Attilio Jose Giarola+ ABSTRACT An analysis of the effect of the substrate's dielectric anisotropy on the characteristics of the Lange-coupler is reported. The geometry and phase velocities of the 3 dB and 50 ~ Lange-coupler are presented for the 'Epsilam-lO' (anisotropic substrate) and for other dielectric
