Abstract:

The research conducted is an attempt to develop a swept frequency X-band transmitter for use as an aid to navigation. The investigation involves mounting an IMPATT diode in microstrip and stripline circuits to obtain a minimum rf output power of one watt. Provisions for electronic tuning and pulsing are also discussed. Author
