Basic research in electronics (JSEP)

This annual report presents a summary of the scientific progress and accomplishments on research projects funded by the Joint Services Electronics Program (JSEP) for the contract period from 1 April 1980 through 31 March 1981. It does not contain information regarding accomplishments on research projects funded in other ways. The Joint Services Electronics Program at the Polytechnic is the core of interdisciplinary research in electronics encompassing programs in the Departments of Electrical Engineering, Physics and Chemistry under the aegis of the Microwave Research Institute. The research encompassed by this program is grouped under three broad categories: Electromagnetics, Solid State and Information Electronics. The detailed projects (work units) comprising the complete program are listed in the Table of Contents. In addition to the progress, we include for each of the work units the publications during the past year resulting from the research, and some of the recent interactions with the DOD or industry or other academic institutions. At the front of this Annual Report we present our Report on Significant Scientific Accomplishments, and at the end we append a comprehensive list of all the journal publications and conference proceedings during the period from August 1, 1980 to the present, arranged alphabetically according to the name of the first author.
