Exact 'Absorbing' Conditions in Outer Initial Boundary-Value Problems of the Electrodynamics of Nonsinusoidal waves.
Part 3: Compact Inhomogeneities in Free Space


The exact 'absorbing' conditions are constructed, which make it possible to replace the 'open' initial boundary-value problems in the radiation and scattering theory of nonsinusoidal electromagnetic waves by the 'closed' problems. The coordinate artificial boundaries, on which these conditions are formulated, enclose the region where all the efficient sources and scatterers are located. In this way the computational domain of the direct numerical methods used for the analysis of transients in compact inhomogeneities of free space is found properly truncated.

Convolution-Type Equation of Inverse Refraction Problem

The inverse refraction problem within framework in the geometric optical approximation made impossible the reconstruction of the refraction index profile of the Earth's atmosphere on the surface measurements of the wave refraction angle of the radiosource, which is on the moving satellite. In the work the analysis of the probabilities of the numerical solution of the inverse refraction problem, which is reduced to an integral Fredholm equation of the first-kind of convolution type has been made. It is shown, that the methodical error of the equation solution by an integral Fourier transform method, which is predetermined by a hipping of the time dependence of the refraction angle outside of the measurement interval by the different ways (in particular, zero values), in the real situations exceeds the errors caused by the regularization and approximated measurements of the refraction angle.

Reconstruction of Electrical Constants of Soil and Depth of Subsurface Objects Using Data of Subsurface Sounding

The problem of reconstructing the electric constants of a soil layer and the depth of its lower underlying boundary has been formulated and solved. Its solution is found by means of the nonlinear singular equation for conductivity in terms of the functional frequency dependence of the wave attenuation factor in the soil layer. This dependence is calculated directly from the dada of subsurface probing.

Radar Clutters from Inhomogeneities of the Ground Level Environment. Experimental Performances and Statistical Model

On the basis of theoretical end experimental studies, features of the ground and precipitation clutters are considered. Such clutters cause sharp decrease of power contrast and the Doppler contrast of the target signal from low-flying aircraft targets. It is shown that both complexity and high spatial-time l iveliness of the amplitude distribution of the spectrum of such kind of clutters prohibit yielding a static model by simple means.

Operation of Gunn Diode Containing Two InP0.7As0.3-In0.4Ga0.6As Active Regions

The operation of Gunn diode with series concatenated InP0.7As0.3 and In0.4Ga0.6As active regions was analyzed in terms of the two-temperature intervalley electron transfer model. The energy and frequency characteristics of the diodes differing in the type of cathode metallic contact were obtained (barrier height is 0.04 eV). The output characteristics of the diode with two active regions and a blocking metallic cathode were found to result from the complex interplay between the physical processes occurring simultaneously in the two regions. The highest output power flux was estimated to be ~40 kW/cm2 at a frequency of 42 GHz and a generation efficiency ~20%. The diode with an antiblocking metallic cathode contact operates as a heterocathode diode, i.e. a generation of current oscillations is provided exclusively by the In0.4Ga0.6As active region.

Modelling the Gunn Diodes Based on Variband Semiconductors

A two-temperature model of intervalley electron transfer in the variband semiconductor is developed. This model was applied to examine the operation of the Gunn diodes based on the variband Inx(z) Ga1-x(z) As. In the active diode region the semiconductor composition x(z) is linearly coordinate-dependent. It is shown that operation of the diode with a variband active region is determined by the coordinate dependency of relaxation frequency of electron concentration in the Ã-valley of Inx(z) Ga1-x(z) As. If this frequency is a decreasing function of coordinate (in the Inx(z) Ga1-x(z) As this occurs when x(z) increases) the dipole domains propagate in the diode, while the opposite case is featured by the propagation of charged layers. The maximum output power flux ~6.5 kW/cm2 was obtained for the GaAs-In0.4Ga0.6As - diode at a frequency of 37 GHz with a 12% efficiency.

Digital System of Asynchronous Pulse Noise Cancellation

An algorithm is considered for the processing of the radar information coming to the input of a coherent pulse radar. The algorithm allows to detect and to cancel an asynchronous pulse noise (APN) by the processing of one range-bin. The algorithm is based on the use of the Doppler phase filters formed on the basis of the coefficients of the discrete Fourier transform. The results are presented of the mathematical simulation of the input signal processing of a digital system for the APN cancellation, the system being based on the spectral analysis of the APN characteristics. Several variants of the cancellation system are proposed.
