Abstract: A hybrid programmable transversal filter (HPTF) is described that employs a LiNbO.sub.3 SAW delay line and two monolithic dual-gate GaAs FET arrays to control magnitude and sign of the 16 tap weights. The HPTF is completely programmable and is constrained only by the bandwidth (100 MHz centered at 250 MHz) and the number of taps. Theoretical calculations of tap weight control range and dynamic range are presented, compared with experiment and used to justify the hybrid LiNbO.sub.3 SAW - GaAs FET combination. Dynamic range of 85 dB and a continuously variable tap weight control range of 70 dB are demonstrated.

Abstract: An avionics housing has electrical equipment within it connected to an electrical connector by means of a flexi-rigid assembly having multiple conductive tracks extending side-by-side on an insulating layer. Radio frequency interference between the connector and the equipment is reduced by forming the flexi-rigid assembly into one or more loops about a ferrite block which absorbs radio frequency on the conductive tracks. The housing may have several blocks of different materials which absorb radiation of different frequency ranges. Additionally, the assembly may be wound about a plastics block to form an air-cored coil for absorbing higher frequencies. Where only higher frequencies are to be absorbed, the air-cored coil may take the place of the ferrite block. The flexi-rigid assembly also includes a capacitor assembly in the form of two conductive layers extending across opposite side of the conductor tracks and insulated therefrom.

Abstract: An inhomogeneous ceramic dielectric microwave RF TEM resonator filter having a plurality of unplated notches in the ceramic for enhancing direct inter-resonator coupling. The filter is implemented without the lumped coupling capacitors which are typically associated with each resonator of a TEM resonator filter. Furthermore, the launching resonators which are typically used to couple in and out of the filter are eliminated by using coaxial probe capacitors inserted in each of the end resonators. The non-end resonators can be made to look as long as the end resonators, with probes therein, by including a conductor pad disposed upon the block top surface and connecting the internal plating of the non-end resonators.

Abstract: An adaptive filter may be realized by weighting the outputs from a tapped delay line. This, however, allows nulls to corrupt a wanted signal spectral region. A fixed (non-adaptive) filter (2) coupled between the signal input and an input of means (3) for summing the weighted outputs serves to allow nulls only to be formed in the skirt region of the fixed filter response thus preserving a wanted signal.

Abstract: A frequency selective surface having a fibrous ceramic material body and a metallic grid on a reflecting face thereof. The body is formed by bonding a mass of silicon dioxide fibers together at their intersection points, as with a fusing agent such as boron nitride in a sintering process, resulting in an array of fibers with cellular porosity intentionally distributed through the body to reduce its density. Other types of ceramic fibers can be used either alone or in combination with the silicon dioxide fibers. The grid is attached to the reflecting surface or deposited thereon. The frequency selective surface finds particular utility in satellite microwave communications satellites.
