Proceedings of the 50th European Microwave Conference Co-Designed Quasi-Circulator and Bandpass Filter Andrea Ashley#1 and Dimitra Psychogiou#2 Abstract?This paper focuses on RF co-designed front-end components that simultaneously exhibit the function of a quasicirculator (QC) and a bandpass filter (BPF). They are based on transistor-based non-reciprocal stages that are effectively combined with

Proceedings of the 50th European Microwave Conference GaN-FET Class-E Amplifier for 60-MHz Radar Frederick H. Raab Green Mountain Radio Research LLC, USA fraab-gmrr.biz Abstract ? A prototype power amplifier (PA) using GaN FETs is developed for space-based surface-penetrating radar at 60 MHz. LDMOS FETs would typically be used at this frequency, but the need for space-qualified components mandate
