The reciprocity theorem is used to derive expressions for the short-circuit current at the terminals of a receiving antenna and the input impedance of an antenna. The source-field Situations in the reciprocity statement are chosen so as to make the derivations straightforward to carry out and easy to interpret.

Optical motors were operated to demonstrate efficient energy transportation for mechanical use at a remote point, via optical waves. The laser beam showed that it can produce the same amount of mechanical power at a level of −30 dB over a distance 20–70 times greater than a focused collimated white-light beam.

Surface effects are known to cause excess currents in p–n junctions. A quantitative model is proposed which shows that the essential contribution can be related to surface recombination velocity. An apparent exp (V/mUT) dependence is found for this current component.

The optimum noise figures of an m.o.s.f.e.t. at u.h.f. and at pinch-off are calculated using a simplified equivalent circuit. The noise parameters are also determined experimentally. Theory and experiment are shown to be in good agreement. Noise parameters of the m.o.s.f.e.t. for the frequency range 0.1–0.8 GHz are given.

An array of logical networks is described, the individual cells of which can be controlled so that their outputs either follow their primary input levels or act as subtractors between the primary input and that from an adjacent cell. The interconnections between cells in the array are so organised that the correct subtractions take place to extract the square root of the input binary number to the array.

An approximate linear relation is established between the transfer function of a linear network and the component deviations. This can reduce the time consumed by a Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis. Little work is involved in evaluating the relationship beyond that already required for a conventional transient analysis.

A continuously variable reflection-type microwave attenuator has been built using Gunn-effect samples. An attenuation of +20 to −5dB was obtained, negative values occurring when Gunn oscillations phase-locked to the injected signal. Microwave switching, as recently reported by Sugimoto and Sugiura, is a special operational mode of this attenuator.

It is shown that the operations of compressing and expanding a function of t along the time axis are linear. The operators are developed as series of differentials. The series are then realised by means of a transform similar to Mellin's transform.

On combining the theory of canonical state-space equations with the theory of RC transmission lines, a means of designing distributed circuits for desired integrated-circuit transfer functions is given. The theory rests on a transformation of O'Shea, and is made practical by use of the approximation curves of Barron.
