The results of several studies on network models of log-periodic structures are described. A nonuniform, continuously scaled transmission line is introduced to simulate the near-field behavior of the log-periodic dipole array. The frequency-independent performance of the continuously scaled line represents the ideal, which is approximated by using lumped elements in a log-periodic structure. It is particularly significant to note that 1) the continuously scaled model predicts the observed input impedance behavior of log-periodic dipole arrays even when the frequency is approaching the high-frequency limit of the antenna, 2) phase velocity on the transmission line model in the active region and at the input region is also found to agree with experimental data, 3) increasing the Q of the loading element increases the coupling to the reflected wave, resulting in increased variations of impedance. Decreasing the angle of taper of the antenna will compensate for the increase in Q . Based on this model, it is shown that true size reduction may be achieved only at the expense of efficiency.
A new method of combining the power output of an even number of high-efficiency avalanche diodes will be described. Four diodes operated in a microstrip circuit have generated a power of 620 W at 1.026 GHz.

The circuit analysis of microwave networks composed of distributed transmission lines and lumped circuit elements soon become complex when the transmission lines employed have significant loss that must be considered. The many possible combinations of Iumped circuit parameters and the use of shorted and open stubs to form resonant circuits useful for the control of microwave energy make it very necessary to use the computer to do the complex calculations for circuit analysis. Such a program must contain the possibility then for the user to specify not only the network numerical values but the way in which these network components are connected. In general the characteristics of a network can be computed from its ABCD matrix. The specification of a network is then broken down into its simplest form called a SECTION, each SECTION being specified by eleven parameter values or circuit TYPE designations. When each SECTION is so specified the computer calculates the transfer ABCD matrix for this section of the network and combines this matrix to the preceding SECTIONS by matrix multiplication before considering the next section of the network. A Flow Diagram for the computer program is shown in Fig. 1. After the first data card containing a name and number for indentification is read the input data for the first case or problem is read. The computer then prints out the titles and input data so specified for the user to check the parameter values and control TYPE numbers given in the data. The specified parameter changes are made in the SECTIONS designated and a set of changes called the VARIABLE is made to the network. The VARIABLE becomes the horizontal axis for plotting the characteristics of the network and the parameter changes generate a family of curves for the network analysis. After each change in the VARIABLE the ABCD matrix is calculated and/or stored in core for later plotting. After all changes in the VARIABLE and parameter are complete, a tape is generated to

In this paper the design, installation and, performance of the highest power broadcast station at present in America is described. Considerations underlying WLW's decision to increase power are mentioned. The station is unique in a number of respects, the most outstanding being the high level class B modulator producing audio-frequency outputs of 350 killowatts, the "isolation" operation of the control circuit, and the concentric transmission line. The vertical radiator is pictured and data are presented comparing its performance to that of a standard T antenna immediately adjacent. The more important performance characteristics of the transmitter and antenna are given.
If two antennas (vertical radiators) are fed through transmission lines from a common radio-frequency supply, then phase shifts between the currents in these antennas will occur if one antenna varies in capacity or re...

If two antennas (vertical radiators) are fed through transmission lines from a common radio-frequency supply, then phase shifts between the currents in these antennas will occur if one antenna varies in capacity or resistance. This will result in a change of the horizontal radiation pattern. As shown in the following paper these phase shifts can be eliminated by a certain method of tuning the antenna circuits. The degree of phase compensation attainable, however, depends on the attenuation of the transmission line. Compensation of phase shifts is also possible if an artificial line is inserted at the sending end for reasons of making the effective electrical length of the transmission line any value desired. The results of the experimental investigation were found to be in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.

An analytical program for calculating the field distribution about a microstrip transmission line bounded by a shielding wall is used to calculate the impedance, velocity, and attenuation parameters. The program input parameters are the dimensions of the strip and shielding wall and the relative dielectric constant of the substrate material. The field distribution about the strip is integrated to find the charge density on the strip and walls with and without the dielectric substrate. From these two calculations, the relative velocity and impedance can be calculated.

Digital logic circuits are now available and are being used with delay times that are comparable to the delays of interconnections used in packaging these circuits. At high speeds, however, such interconnections no longer behave as simple short circuits, but take on the appearance of transmission lines. Unless transmission lines are terminated properly, ``reflections'' can develop that might be of sufficient magnitude to produce false logic levels or exceed maximum circuit voltage specifications. One may choose to solve the problem by increasing the density of the system. This, however, introduces the problem of ``crosstalk.'' The present article describes several analytical techniques for predicting the kinds of reflections and crosstalk that are typically seen in digital systems, thus enabling the engineer to determine in advance whether or not such ``interconnection noise'' will result, how bad it will be, and what the typical interconnection limitations are for circuits of various speeds.
The class of lossless, nonuniform transmission lines having an absolutely continuous characteristic impedance is considered. It is shown that an integral representation for the solution of such a line is possible when...
