Download or read book Quasi Optical Control of Intense Microwave Transmission written by Jay L. Hirshfield and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-02-12 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between February 17 and 20, 2004, approximately fifty scientists from ten countries came together at the Institute of Applied Physics (IAP), Nizhny Novgorod, Russia to participate in a NATO sponsored Advanced Research Workshop whose appellation is re flected in the title of this volume, namely Quasi Optical Control of Intense Microwave Transmission. The fashionable label “quasi optical ” has come into use in recent decades to denote structures whose characteristic dimensions exceed (sometimes by large factors) the free space radiation wavelength. Such structures were and are developed to replace the traditional single eigenmode ones in situations when high frequenc ies (short wavelengths) are combined with high powers, a combination that could otherwise lead to RF breakdown and high Ohmic wall heating rates. Treatments of guided wave propagation in oversized structures is aimed at pr eserving the propagating field coherence and thus to provide efficient transmission of RF power to remote destinations such as antennas, microwave ovens, plasma chemical reactors, nuclear fusion machines, and the like.

Download or read book Planar Active Antennas and Quasi optical Power Combining Arrays Using FET s and Slots written by Shigeo Kawasaki and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents design concepts and experimental data of planar active antenna and quasi-optical power combining arrays with strong coupling to realize a compact and low-cost radar and communication system. The prototype circuits for this purpose were made in a layered configuration using microstrip lines and in a uniplanar structure using CPW's. As an active source, an FET was selected. As a unit cell of the power combining array, a single layered active antenna using microstrip lines and slots was fabricated. In the design, small signal S-parameters were used to determine the circuit configuration while a large signal analysis to the entire circuit involving the slot antenna input impedance was carried out. The circuit designed for 10 GHz was found to operate at 9.3 GHz and the other designed for 25 GHz at 24 GHz. In addition, the circuit with CPW's and slot designed for 10 GHz was found to operate at 8.6 GHz. Based on these successful results, linear power combining arrays were made. For the strong coupling, each oscillator output is connected by a single transmission line. Several 6-element microstrip arrays and a 4-element CPW array were fabricated. In the former, sharp main beams were obtained. To obtain a millimeter-wave operating frequency, the second harmonic spatial power combining array made with FET's were demonstrated around 40 GHz. To show a topology of a 2-dimensional array, a 16-element dual polarized array at 7.8 GEL was made. To obtain the maximum in-phase radiation signal, impedance matching, a phase of the radiation signal and a signal phase of each oscillator were taken into account ...
