Teledyne Scientific Company's millimeter wave electronics focus on a new
and promising architecture called Millimeter Wave Beam Circuits (MBC). The
MBC approach borrows heavily from previously advanced quasi-optics
concepts, which recognized and exploited the inherent advantages of
free-space power combining as compared to traditional, planar power
combining methods.
Intrinsically three-dimensional, the MBC approach relies on tunable, TEM
waveguide structures enabled by engineered two and three dimensionsional
metal-dielectric structures called photonic bandgap materials. A wide
variety of high power, high performance millimeter wave applications of
MBC are currently being studied at Teledyne Scientific Company. These
include:
