A New Technique for the Direct Measurement of Y-Parameters at Microwave Frequencies
A technique has been developed which makes practical the direct measurement of active device two-port y-parameters at microwave frequencies. The instrumentation involved is a simple modification of a conventional s-parameter test set, and the measurement procedure is only slightly more complicated than in a conventional s parameter measurement.
Microwave-transistor power-amplifier design by large-signal y parameters
The validity of large-signal y parameters for use in the design of microwave-transistor power amplifiers has been investigated, and simple design equations have been derived for the optimum source and load terminations. The predicted terminations are in good agreement with those experimentally obtained with a 1 GHz 1 W amplifier.
Main tendencies of religious consciousness development in modern society
The article is devoted to the investigation of the tendencies of religious consciousness development in modern society. At the present stage of development religious consciousness, like any other social and psychological phenomenon, is undergoing significant changes. The development of religious consciousness at the present stage of society evolution leads to the development of common moral norms and requirements. There is a tendency to reduce human ties with the religious community as a translator of religious consciousness. It is possible to speak about the transformation of religious consciousness but not about its disappearance.
