RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION LEADING TO METHODS OF GENERATING AND DETECTING RADIATION IN THE 100 TO 1000 MICRON WAVELENGTH RANGE OF THE SPECTRUM. Quarterly Progress Report No. 10 for June 1, 1958 to September 1, 1958

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4296464
Work on the problems of developing a suitable CW millimeter-wave generator and appropriate detection and measuring techniques is described. Harmonic frequency multiplication is being used as the basis for the development of the generators. Ferrites, gas discharge, and semiconductor crystals are all being investigated as possible nonlinear elements in these multiplying devices. The crystal detector work received a new impetus with the arrival of InSb and InAs materials. Measurements on the dielectric resonators indicated that these devices hold great promise as frequency measuring devices in the millimeter range. (For preceeding period see AECU-3797.) (W.D.M.)
