Microwave Transmission Technique for Accurate Impedance Characterization of Superconductive Bolometric Mixers

The impedance of the supconducting hot-electron bolometer mixer was measured in the range 0.2-4 GHz. A special technique relying on determination of S21 transmission parameter of the device was used. Many advantages of the techinque (wide frequency range, in sity calibration, low tes power, accuracy) are demonstrated. The estimate of the mixer bandwidth from the impedance data using the mixer theory is in good agreement with the results ofthe direct bandwidth measurements.

(abstract) Transmission Electron Microscopy of Al(sub x)Ga(sub 1-x)N/SiC Multilayer Structures

The potential of wide-band-gap III-V nitrides as solar-blind ultraviolet sensors and light emitters has prompted an increasing amount of work recently, including the fabrication of the first UV sensors from as-deposited single crystal GaN. We have used high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the microstructure of two novel developments of wide-band-gap III-V nitrides: the growth of ultra-short period GaN/AlN super lattices (digital alloys); and the incorporation of SiC layers into Al(sub x)Ga(sub 1-x)N structures. By varying the relative periods in a GaN/AlN superlattice, it should be possible to tailor the band gap of the composite to lie between the elemental values of 365 nm for GaN and 200 nm for AlN. The group IV semiconductor, SiC, has a close lattice match (< 3%) to Al(sub x)Ga(sub 1-x)N for growth on the basal plane. Demonstration of epitaxial growth for Al(sub x)Ga(sub 1-x)N/SiC multilayers could enable an extension of direct band-gap material towards the visible.

Low-Complexity Progressive Image-Transmission Schemes For Space Applications

This paper describes the use of combination of multiresolution image representation and data compression techniques to reduce transmission time and permit early recognition of images. Data compression removes the inherent redundancies in the image data to reduce the overal data volume.

Reconfigurable Transmission Line for a Series-Fed Ku-Band Phased Array Using a Single Feed

The paper presents a novel approach to realize a lowcost phased array using a simple feeding mechanism. Specifically, a single coplanar stripline (CPS) transmission line is used to feed the antenna array elements. By controlling the CPS's dielectric properties using a movable dielectric plunger, scanning is achieved. Due to its simplicity, single feed, and no phase shifters, this approach leads to a dramatic reduction in cost which does not scale for larger arrays.
