Meanderline phase shifters in microstrip are badly matched (vswr ≈ 2), due to the difference in phase velocity of the odd and even mode of the coupled transmission lines. This is overcome by a stepped impedance design, allowing to realize e.g. a 90° phase shifter with a return loss better than 30 db across an octave bandwidth. Straightforward design equations are derived and confirmed by measurements on MIC's in the frequency range 4 to 8 GHz and X-band.

A proposal is presented for compensation of long ac transmission lines entirely by shunt devices designated as reactance controllers. Fundamental design of the reactance controller as a transmission line shunt compensating device is established. Application of reactance controllers to transmission lines is described as well as a theoretical approach for the Transmission Planner to evaluate controlled shunt reactance compensation for future and existing transmission schemes.

The paper extends the method of recursive convolutions for the calculation of electro-magnetic transients on transmission lines with ground return to discretely transposed lines and double circuit lines. A review of the recursive convolution method is first given, completed with a starting procedure for the calculation of transients from a known steady state. Effects of transpositions, such as mode reflections and mode conversion, are then discussed. For double circuit lines, it is shown that they can be represented as two equivalent single circuit lines, thus making possible the use of most simple subroutines for line response calculations.

A new minimax network optimization algorithm not requiring derivatives has been developed. It is based on successive linear approximations to the nonlinear functions defining the problem. Adequate modeling of distributed parameter circuits for optimization purposes often involves parasitic, etc., which makes the gradient computation by the adjoint network method or related methods rather complicated, and often numerical errors are introduced in the gradients. Consequently, the algorithm is found to be of particular relevance in optimum design of practical microwave networks. The relative advantages of the proposed algorithm are established by comparison with known gradient and nongradient algorithms based on optimization of cascaded transmission-line transformers. The relevance to microwave filter design is demonstrated by an example which represents an improvement of analytical filter design results. Finally, optimum broad-band design of a practical coaxial transferred-electron reflection-type amplilier is carried out by means of the proposed method. The results are supported by experimental verification.

Exact, general, open-wire-line equivalent circuits for tapped-line combline and interdigital arrays are derived using a combination of graph transformations and induction. A significant feature of the equivalent circuits is that they do not require commensurate length sections. The equivalent circuit for tapped-line interdigital arrays is utilzed to develop design equations for tapped-line interdigital filters.
This paper establishes the quantitative relation between a TV transmitter load VSWR and the system frequency response. The need for a low value of VSWR is stressed, particularly for multimode transmitting systems.

The current response of a finite distributed RC line to a voltage-step driving function has a closed-form solution in terms of elliptic theta functions. This seems to have gone unrecognized in previous circuit theory literature. Different types of theta functions will appear depending on whether the solution is for open-circuited or short-circuited terminations. Furthermore, the voltage response to the same driving function can be expressed in terms of integrals of theta functions. These integrals constitute a possibly new set of higher transcendental functions, to be denoted here as "diffusion functions." Relationships among and properties of the various solutions and functions are given in mathematical identities and families of curves. Thus expressing the solutions in terms of individual functions whose properties are well-documented, rather than using the mostly opaque series form, allows a more distinct view of the physical behavior of the distributed RC line to emerge.

A novel thin-film down-converter which is pumped at a submultiple of the local-oscillator frequency has given a conversion loss which is comparable to the performance of conventional balanced mixers. The converter consists of two stripline filters and two Schottky-barrier diodes which are shunt mounted in a strip transmission line. The conversion loss measured at a signal frequency of 3.5 GHz is 3.2 dB for a pump frequency of 1.7 GHz and 4.9 dB for a pump frequency of 0.85 GHz. The circuit looks attractive for use at millimeter-wave frequencies where stable pump sources with low FM noise are not readily available.

This short paper describes a novel method of generating a pulse sequence using step-recovery diodes (SRDs) shunting a transmission line. Individual pulses in the train may have rise times less than 60 ps with amplitudes greater than 10 V. The many potential applications of the device include a short RF pulse generator, an FM generator, and a high-speed word generator.
