Abstract: A method is provided for large signal modeling of a field effect transistor. The method includes establishing a small signal model for the transistor, such model having a gate-source capacitance Cgs and a drain-gate capacitance Cdg, both being functions of a gate-source voltage Vgs and a drain-source voltage Vds. The s-parameters of the transistor are measured and curve fitting is applied to the measured s-parameters to establish small signal model parameters. The small signal model parameters include gate-source capacitance Cgs as a function of Vgs and Vds and gate-drain capacitance Cdg as a function of Vgs and Vds. Curve fitting is applied to Cgs and Cdg to establish large signal gate charge fitting parameters. The established large signal gate charge fitting parameters are used to express a gate-source charge Qgs and a gate-drain charge Qgd as functions of Vgs and a gate-drain voltage Vgd in a large signal model for the transistor.

Abstract: A cylindrical multi-port combiner having a graceful degradation characteristic with a high degree of isolation (25 db) between ports and a high combining efficiency (>90.degree.) is disclosed. A radially-spaced inner and outer conductor forms a transmission line operating in a balanced mode. Circumferentially spaced plurality of like transmission lines have inner and outer RF absorbers at the outermost regions of the spaced adjacent inner and outer conductors, respectively. A corresponding end of each transmission line in adapted to be connected to one of a corresponding number of phase-matched RF sources. The other end of each transmission line has its inner and outer conductors connected in parallel, respectively, through stepped impedance-transforming transmission lines to form one connector for connection to an output RF load.

Abstract: A tilt-angle gun provides a conically-shaped electron beam formed in a magnetically-shielded region which is injected into a coaxial waveguide of the amplifier embodiment of the invention and into a coaxial cavity of the oscillator embodiment immersed in the main magnetic focussing system to form a hollow gyro beam of large radius. RF power input and the amplified rf power output are simply and easily provided through circular input and output waveguides coupled respectively to each end of the coaxial waveguide by slotted sections. The electron beam and the output rf energy are naturally physically separated so that extraction of the rf output is facilitated and occurs with little rf power loss.
