Solid state ku-band power amplifiers, phase 1
Abstract
A proposed solid-state K sub u-band power amplifier utilizing a circularly symmetric array of IMPATT diodes mounted in a single radial line power combiner is discussed and its performance predicted. The proposed amplifier configuration consists of a TM sub 030 mode radial line cavity containing 20 IMPATT diodes, with separate input and output ports provided by a ferrite circulator. Conventional IMPATT amplifier techniques preclude the achievement of gain, power output, efficiency, and IMP suppression specifications simultaneously; there fore, several novel techniques with the potential of reducing the intermodulation product level are discussed.
