Quasi-Optical Power Combining of Solid State Millimeter-Wave Sources: A Proposalfor Graduate Fellowship

摘要

The goal of the research reported here was the development of a circuit- basedmodeling procedure for both the passive and active components of a quasi-optical power combiner. Contributions include the development of a multi-port equivalent circuit of a multi-element quasi-optical power combiner. Excellent agreement with experimental results was obtained. Mount independent techniques were also developed for characterizing two terminal active elements.
