Abstract: A technique for making high performance low noise amplifiers, low cost high performance RF, microwave circuits and other devices by using a minimum of costly high performance semiconductors is described. By combining a single discrete portion of an expensive semiconductor with a less expensive GaAs carrier, MMIC devices with improved performance over their discrete counterparts are achieved.

Abstract: A power amplifier is described that includes a balanced amplifier arrangement having an input quadrant coupler and output quadrant coupler and two amplifiers, which may include or consist of single transistors, there between. The power amplifier also can provide a signal to an isolated port of the output coupler in order to provide impedance matching. This arrangement dispenses with the need for transistor matching networks at the output of the two amplifiers, which in turn enables the power amplifier to be operable over a wider frequency range as compared with a Doherty power amplifier.

Abstract: A phased array antenna is disclosed where the transmit/receive modules are replaced by a series of separately packaged components. The components include, for example, a vector control component, a high power amplifier component, a low noise amplifier component, a transmit/receive duplexing component and ancillary supporting components. An advantage of this arrangement is that cheaper antenna arrays can be constructed without limiting the capability and/or performance of a system incorporating such an array when compared to known solutions.

Abstract: A high voltage electrode and method of construction is provided including a multi-layered composition to optimize dielectric strength, dielectric constant, structural strength and durability. The high voltage electrode can be utilized as a submergible drop-in unit for easy installation within a fluid holding tank such as a water cooling tower. The submergible generator includes a channel that houses a charged electrode, and functions as a ground electrode to the charged electrode, and also functions as a fluid diverter.
