International Classification:

H03F 360

US Classification:

330286, 330 53, 330 66, 330124 R, 330307

Abstract:

A modular high power solid state amplifier and method of assembly, manufacture and use are herein disclosed. The high power amplifier includes a number of amplifiers, a DC board having flexible interconnects, a RF cover including an interlocking RF input, a RF board, a chassis, and a top cover; thereby providing an encased stand-alone solid state amplifier. The solid state components, angled designs, and piggyback topology of the invention provide a compact, efficient, integrated high power amplifier device.

Appl. No.:

10/059465

Inventors:

Dean Lawrence Cook - Mesa AZ, US

Assignee:

U.S. Monolithics, L.L.C. - Chandler AZ

International Classification:

H04B 1/38

US Classification:

375219, 375306, 455 73, 455 76, 455 86, 455318, 331 18

Abstract:

A frequency plan is provided for particular use in a transceiver. Advantageously, a single oscillator may be used to generate desired frequency signal. One or more power splitters receive the signal and equally divide the signal into first and second signals having a frequency substantially equal to the original. Multipliers on each arm of the transceiver receive a signal and increase the frequency of the signal. Ultimately, multiple signals having different frequencies may be transmitted over the same cable due in part to the generated frequency separation between the signals. In one particular aspect, the frequency plan provides a two-thirds relationship between the frequencies of the multiple signals.

Assignee:

ViaSat, Inc. - Carlsbad CA

International Classification:

H03H 7/38
H01P 5/08

US Classification:

333 34, 333254

Abstract:

In general, in accordance with an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a low-loss interface for connecting an integrated circuit such as a monolithic microwave integrated circuit to an energy transmission device such as a waveguide is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, the interface comprises a pin attached to a matching network that matches the impedance of the energy produced at the circuit to the impedance required by the waveguide without the use of a dielectric material.
