ABSTRACT:
An input signal for a travelling wave or distributed amplifier having input and output transmission lines is supplied to one end (1) of the input line and an output signal is derived from one end (4) of the output line. Conventionally, the other end (2, 3) of each line is terminated in a respective matched load, but three ports of the amplifier may be employed. The travelling wave amplifier may be used to replace a circulator (CIRC, FIG. 2) in an FMCW radar having a single transmitting/receiving antenna (ANT) (TWAMP1, FIG. 3), to replace a directional coupler (DC) for supplying a local oscillator signal to a mixer (MXR) (TWAMP2, FIG. 4), and in combination with a mixer diode (D) to form a mixer amplifier (TWAMP3, FIG. 3), giving the possibility of the larger-scale integration of RF circuits.
