Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The present invention relates to quasi-optical grid arrays, and is specifically for grid oscillators for electrical tuning and modulation. Explanation of related technologies Broadcasting radio ’radar and other imaging systems require the transmission of millimeter-wave frequency bands and microwave radio frequency (“ RF ”) signals. In order to effectively reach the level of output transmission power required by the Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Employee Consumer Cooperative for many applications suitable for some commercial frequencies, the so-called "power combination" technology has been used. The output power of individual components Are coupled or combined so that a single power output that is larger than the individual components can be supplied. Therefore, the power combination has a used resonant waveguide cavity or transmission line feed network. However, these methods have some obvious shortcomings that turn into high frequencies. First, the loss of conductors at the waveguide wall or the transmission line tends to increase with frequency, and finally the efficiency of the combination is limited. Second, these resonant waveguide cavities or transmission line combiners become increasingly difficult for machines as the wavelength becomes smaller. Third, in waveguide systems, the devices often must be manually inserted and tuned. This is laborious and only useful for a relatively small number of devices. Many years ago, spatial power combinations using "quasi-optical" were proposed as possible answers to these questions. The theory is that the resonator can be an array of microwave or millimeter-wave solid state sources with the same frequency and phase synchronization, and their outputs will be combined in free space to minimize conductor losses. Further, planar arrays can be manufactured integrally and at shorter wavelengths, thus potentially causing thousands of devices to be combined on a single wafer. This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) · 4-510978 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (2) Since then several kinds of quasi-optical devices It has been developed to include detectors, multipliers, mixers, and phase shifters. These passive devices continue to be the subject of investigation. However, over the past few years, active quasi-optical devices, namely oscillators and amplifiers, have gradually formed. The advantage of using a quasi-optical spatial power combination (among other methods) is that the output power scales linearly with the wafer area. Therefore, the field of active quasi-optics has attracted considerable attention in a short time 'and the growth of this field has been explosive. It is generally believed that the first quasi-optical grid array amplifier was developed by M. Kim et al. At the California Institute of Technology. This grid uses differential pairs of 25 μM ES F E T and exhibits 11 dB gain at 3 GHz. As shown in FIG. 1, 'a typical gate amplifier 10 is an array of closed space differential pairs of transistors 14 which are sandwiched between an active gate 12 and an active gate 12 between input and output polarizers' 18, 24. An input signal 16 passes through the horizontally polarized input polarizer 18 and the horizontally polarized input antenna 20 built on the grid 12 stimulates the rf current from the input beam incident from the left. These currents drive the input of transistor pair 1 in differential mode. The output current is redirected along the vertically polarized antenna 22 of the grid, generating a vertically polarized output light beam 30 through the output polarizer 24 to the right. Transversely polarized inputs and outputs provide two important advantages. First, it provides good isolation between input and output, reducing the potential of false feedback oscillation. Second, the input and output circuits of the amplifier can be independently tuned by using a metal strip polarizer 'which also restricts the light beam to the forward direction. Since several gate amplifiers have been developed and therefore have further proven to have great prospects for military and commercial RF applications, and especially for high frequencies, broadcasting systems are small, preferably integrated, sealed ----------- clothing -(Please read the notes on the back before filling this page)

Description of invention (3) The installation requires significant output power levels (such as &gt; 5 watts). Also, the resonator can be used to provide feedback to couple the active device to form a high power oscillator. A non-modulation source architecture, known as "K 1 m oscillator", is based on 1 Kim, EA Sovero, JB Hacker, MP De Lisio, JJ Rosenberg, DB Rutledge, "6 using a grid amplifier with twisted reflector 5 Gh z — 1 1 · 5 G Η z source, "IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory and Technology, October 1 993, Vol. 41, No. 10, pp. 1772-1774, description. The basic idea of the oscillator is to use external feedback to the gate amplifier to sense it to oscillation. Figure 2A shows the essentials of the standard Kim oscillator disclosed therein. Figure 2B shows an exploded view of the actual architecture of a standard Kim oscillator. As can be seen, the twisted reflector 40, containing the named polarizer 42 and the mirror 44, rotates the y-polarization of the portion of the amplified output beam according to its incidence and reflects it back to the input of the gate amplifier. The polarizer 4 2 of the twisted reflector_ 40 can be regarded as a perfect reflector for the polarized energy along its wiring and the invisible energy for polarizations perpendicular to each other. Grid amplifier active arrays provide gain and gain compression.

Description of the invention (4) Generates relatively small output power and has a relatively narrow tuning range. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Including the grid oscillator of the external torsional reflector feedback network ("K im Oscillators) are conventionally tuned by mechanically shifting the frequency of the feed-back network along the axis of the beam transmitted through the grid. Unfortunately, the actual need to move the reflector to tune the device is undesirable for several reasons. Transfer mechanism The increase in volume increases volume and is expensive for highly reproducible structures. Mechanical tuning can be inaccurate and slow. Further, the oscillator cannot modulate its output signal. Therefore 'the right kind of device is inaccurate for most applications The electrical tuning of a grid oscillator with a twisted reflector has been proposed as a possible solution. One solution must be to introduce a varactor and load a structure called a chirped waver instead of a polarizer called a twisted reflector. This solution Direct phase modulation of the grid oscillator should be allowed, but special processing units are needed to generate the § weekly variable signal applied to the varactor, and special commercial amplifiers to properly drive the varactor. These additional components are Oscillators may increase cost and complexity. Therefore, there is a limited need for grid oscillators that do not require such special circuits for tuning and modulation.

That is, the frequency and phase of the oscillator output are substantially the same as the frequency and phase of the input reference signal of the reference port.

Description of the Invention (10) Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment The invention disclosed herein belongs to a quasi-optical grating oscillation including a reference input port placed at any position of the oscillator Device. Fig. 3 shows the actual fabrication of such an embodiment. The K 1 m oscillator 1 3 0 includes an active grid array 1 4 6 sandwiched between an output polarizer 1 4 8 and a torsional reflector 1 4 0. The twisted reflector includes a mirror 1 4 4 and a named polarizer 1 4 2. In this embodiment, the reference signal input port 150 is drilled into the mirror 14 of the torsional reflector 140. As soon as the time-dependent frequency and phase are relatively small, a reference signal 60 is simply introduced into the reference input port. As discussed below, this reference port may be located in a different location from the K i m edger in the same manner as the device shown in FIG. 3. Fig. 4A is a functional explanation explaining the operation of the embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 3, in which the quasi-optical grid array oscillator is incorporated into the active array's twisted reflector to introduce a phase modulation scheme for generating a signal. In particular, the gate amplifier 1 4 6 produces an output signal at its output or “y-polarization”: 1 6 0. As seen in the sJl 5 tiger path 1 6 2, part of the signal is received by the output polarizer 1 4 8 and part of the signal is dissipated on the torsional reflector 1 4 0, which introduces a phase delay of 1 6 4 and a polarization rotation of 1 6 6 . This signal bounces off the reflector and acts as an X-polarized signal to the grid array along 172 times. This return signal is received at the X polarized port 170 of the grid amplifier 1 46 and blocked by the output polarizer 1 48. The modulated phase or modulated frequency reference signal 60 is introduced into the reference signal port 150, which in this embodiment is located inside the torsional reflector 40. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 size (210x297 male sauce) -13- 510978 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (11) (Please read the notes on the back first Please fill in this page for more details.) The free-running frequency should be displayed by the oscillator. The oscillator will be generated to the frequency and phase reference signal 60. The reference signal in this concept is the external injection lock signal. It should be understood that "generating" as used herein does not need to mean real-time tracking of the reference signal. Instead, the term refers to an action in which the output of the oscillator will reach its frequency which will substantially match the frequency of the reference signal and its phases will withstand a substantially fixed relationship of the phases of a pair of reference signals. In addition, the reference signal 60 does not need to be at the desired output frequency, but can replace a whole segment (such as half, one third) operating at the desired operating frequency, because the oscillator can be generated by the harmonics of the reference signal. An understanding of the power of a particular oscillator, quickly acquired by a person familiar with the art, will cause him to predetermine the relationship between the frequency and phase of the oscillator output and the frequency and phase of the reference signal. Knowing this predetermined relationship will cause him to construct a reference signal to obtain the desired output. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 B — 4 D shows another functional solution of the frequency / phase modulation technology shown in FIG. 4 A. With the reference signal at another point of the oscillator, or the port is imported . Therefore, FIG. 4B shows the same scheme as in FIG. 4A as the reference signal 60 is substantially located at the input 璋 1 70 of the gate amplifier 46 and the reference port 1 50 of FIG. 4. Figure 4C shows the generated signal introduced at the output port 160 of the amplifier, and Figure 4D shows the signal introduced at the output 180 of the oscillator. In a further embodiment of the present invention, the coexisting amplitude modulation can also be performed by using an oscillator. Direct amplitude modulation can be applied to the control electrode of the active device of the array (such as the gate of a field effect transistor or a bipolar battery. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -14-510978 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (12) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The base of the crystal is adjusted. Time-varying voltages applied to control lines connected to control electrodes of individual devices will produce amplitude modulation of the oscillator output. The control voltage will cause, for example, quadrature amplitude modulation (Q A M) as the phase-modulated reference signal is synchronized. The Consumer Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs printed another method to achieve amplitude modulation, Chireix AM technology described by H. Chireix, "High Power Out-of-Phase Modulation", Proc. IRE, vol. 23, no. 11, November 1935? ? .1 370-1 392, perhaps in combination with the phase modulation schemes illustrated in Figures 3 and 48-O. The application of Chireix technology requires the use of a pair of modulated oscillators 2 1 0, 2 1 2 as illustrated in Figure 5. In particular, the “out-of-phase modulation control unit 2 0 4 generates a pair of phase-modulated signals 2 0 6, 2 8 from the data input signal 2 0 0 and the reference oscillator 2 0 2. These signals are used in two The signal reference of the modulation oscillator 2 1 0, 2 1 2 is consistent with the phase modulation technology of C h 1 rei X. The two reference signals are constructed from the control unit 2 0 4 so that the generated oscillator output The resulting phaser sum is the desired phase and amplitude modulated output signal. In the invention disclosed herein, the impedance pairings 2 1 4, 2 1 6 and power combiner 2 1 8 detailed in the above referenced article are detailed The overall function consists of using the power combination of 2 1 8 plus the spatiality and the quasi-optical ground of the quasi-optical chirp or using guided wave compensation (such as waveguide filter, "Magic T", positive mode transducer, or W 1 1 k 1 ns ο η combiner). It is also possible to combine the two amplitude modulation techniques described above in order to improve efficiency and phase / amplitude accuracy. Individual oscillators can be provided with direct amplitude through the control electrode Steps of modulation to provide two or more amplitude separations Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm) -15-510978 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 5. Invention Description (13) Direct amplitude modulation of the electrode to provide two or more Multi-amplitude separation step. In the simplest version, two oscillators can be run orthogonally with each oscillator with simple on / off modulation. This can be used to generate QPSK or 8 QA Μ Modulation. For more complex modulation schemes, the out-of-phase modulation of Chireix with two constant-amplitude phase-modulated oscillators can be improved based on each oscillator with two or more separate amplitude steps. Lower The output of all amplitudes will then be obtained from the sum of the phasers of the output of the individual oscillators of smaller amplitudes. This will improve the efficiency and the correctness of the phase and amplitude of all the outputs of low amplitudes. Therefore, the exemplary embodiment of the invention described Further changes, modifications, and improvements will also be apparent to those who are familiar with this technology. Further, it is obvious that this technology and system is not limited to use as a technology.
