Стохастизация СВЧ колебаний в микрополосковой логопериодической антенне-генераторе в условиях модуляции низкочастотным шумовым сигналом.

Abstract

Microwave solid-state oscillators of noise-like signals are of the great interest for wireless telecommunication systems, imaging systems and electronic warfare. In the paper, the possibility of power combining in the array of three independent noise-like oscillators is investigated. The noise-like oscillators are based on the microstrip log-periodic antennas which are integrated with field-effect transistors. As an active element, NE350184С field-effect transistor with 13.5 dB gain at 12 GHz is chosen. It was previously shown that single-frequency, multifrequency or noise-like generations are possible in the active antennas. The main factors that affect the generation type are the current in the drain-source circuit of the transistor and the distance between the antenna plane and reflecting screen. It is experimentally shown, that using of the noise-like oscillator arrays makes possible the spectrum and power combining, but the construction is not enough stable and reliable.
