Ku-Band Electronically Tunable Monopulse Receiver

Techniques employed for Ku-band hybrid integrated microstrip components are discussed along with their performance data. The final integration results in a complete monopulse receiver with its own electronically tunable Gunn oscillator in a total packaged volume of 2.1 in/sup 3/. Materials and their limitations are discussed. Electronically tunable Gunn oscillator performance at Ku band is demonstrated which leads finally to a brief discussion of the dynamic impedance properties of negative resistance diodes.
