Abstract

By the aid of the Microwave Design System (MDS), software package, the design and analysis of the downconversion and IF amplification parts of a microwave superhytrodyne receiver, operating in the S-band, and the implementation of the designed subsystem in the microstrip form, is presented.. All individual circuits constituting this subsystem are fabricated separately and their characteristics are measured to test their performances and then the integration of these circuits is fabricated again on a single substrate and its characteristics are also tested and measured.
