Potential Functions in the Problem of Excitation of a Waveguide Filled with a Three-Layered Dielectric by a Longitudinal Magnetic Current

The paper deals with a rectangular waveguide having a three-layer dielectric filling and a longitudinal slot in its broader wall. A convergent solution for the magnetic field excited by the slot was obtained by using a modified eigenwave method. First we derive potential functions for the waveguide with a three-layer dielectric filling. These functions are then used to expand the magnetic current, which is explicitly present in the solution obtained after the eigenwave method. The convergent series are obtained for the partial input conductivities of the slot. The convergence rate of these series practically does not depend on the width and permittivity of a dielectric slab inserted into the waveguide.

Broadband Echo-Box of Millimeter Wave Band for a Long-Time Delay of a Microwave Pulse Signal

The paper presents a compact echo-box for a long-time delay of a microwave pulse signal of the millimeter wave range. Basically, the device is a quasi-optical spherical resonator with a non-symmetically ruby sphere placed inside. The ruby sphere eliminates the mode degeneracy and leads to the appearance of dense spectrum of nature oscillations. Due to the high Q-factor of the resonator, the echo-box is able to store the microwave signal power for quite a long time. In the case of a pulse signal, whose spectrum is wider than the spacing between two adjacent lines of the dense spectrum of the resonator, the echo-box has a wide effective transmission band. The device has the following characteristics: the central frequency is 36 GHz, the delay time is not less than 5 microsec with the potential of 100 dB, the transmission band is 2 GHz, the volume is 50 cm3, the weight is 300 g. The echo-box can be implemented in the automatic calibration and potential-control systems used for the measuring of the wave propagation characteristics in various media.

Surface Electromagnetic Oscillations in a Semiconductor Sphere

Spectral characteristics of a semiconductor sphere have been originally studied. It is shown that along with volume high-frequency oscillations, there are surface oscillations in the sphere. Inside the sphere the amplitude of these oscillations exponentially decreases along the radius from the resonator surface. At the large values of the polar index a surface oscillation converts to a surface plasmon existing on a semiconductor plane boundary.

Radiation Characteristics of an Electric Dipole of Arbitrary Orientation Placed Above a Plane Screen

The uniform geometric diffraction theory is used to determine the electromagnetic field of a radiating system in the form of an electric dipole of arbitrary orientation placed above a perfectly conducting, infinitesimally thin rectangular screen. The screen is arbitrarily positioned relative to the radiator and the field is considered throughout the observation space. An algorithm is suggested for estimating and analyzing the directional and power characteristics of the radiating system in dependence on the screen position. The maximum radiation directions, highest attainable values of both the directive gain and the radiation impedance of the dipole have been determined as functions of the screen position.

Construction of Non-Redundant Antenna Configurations on a Hexagonal Mesh by a Random Search

This study is devoted to searching for non-redundant antenna geometry on a hexagonal mesh enclosed in a regular hexagon with the radius up to 15 grid spacings. The search procedure consists in adding new elements to a randomly selected node starting from an empty configuration. The goal is to find configurations with as many elements as possible within a given hexagon radius. The results obtained for the configurations within the radius up to 15 are presented. The comparison of these results with those obtained by regular methods shows that the random search in certain cases is preferable as it allows to find the configurations having larger numbers of elements.

Investigating the Temperature Regime of the Starter Cathode in a Millimeter Wave Magnetron

The temperature regime of the starter cathode of a millimeter wave magnetron is investigated in dependence on its operation conditions. The widespread opinion that starter cathode does not experience the back bombardment, being located outside the interaction space of the magnetron has not been confirmed by practice. The power dissipated at the cathode can make 1 or 2, or even more percent of the input power. This amount is much lower than the power dissipated at the main cathode, however it should be taken into account in the case of great duty factors to avoid shortening of the cathode longevity. As has been found, the temperature of the starter cathode may sharply in crease already with anode currents as low as 10 to 20% of the operating current. The magnitude of this increase depends on the pulse waveform of the anode voltage. The longer the leading and trailing edge of the pulse, the greater the amount of power dissipated at the starter cathode. Knowledge of the cathode temperature required for stable operation of the magnetron, has permitted estimating the time current density through the starter cathode. It was found to be about 1 A/cm2 for the magnetron under consideration. Knowledge of this magnitude allowed launching investigations aimed at selecting the type of the starter cathode for magnetrons of great durability.

Electrostatic Fields in Reverse-Biased pn-i-pn Structures

Static electric fields are analyzed in GaAs, Si and Ge reverse-biased pn-i-pn structures. Analytic expressions have been derived for the electric field and electric potential in uniformly doped pn-i-pn structures. Both the geometry and the doping profile have been calculated for the structures. Conditions for a drift current-controlled positive feedback between the p-n junction have been established. It is shown that by properly selecting parameters of the reverse-biased pn-i-pn structures it is possible to provide both the desired electric field distribution over the neutral -region of the structure and the required magnitude of the multiplication factor fro electron-hole pairs of the p-n junctions.

Holographic Interferometry of a Lateral Surface of KDP Crystals and Modulation of a Laser Radiation at Resonance Frequencies

The mode pattern of resonance oscillations of electrooptical KDP crystals was investigated by using two methods such as holographic interferometry and polarizable optics. It was found that the theoretical solution based on the approximation of a thin plate are in a satisfactory fit to the shift oscillations which become excited in crystals of the rectangular form (odd modes). Besides there is revealed the existence of natural oscillations in these crystals that can be interpreted as even modes. The conditions necessary for effective modulation of a laser beam on resonance frequencies of the KDP crystals are determined.

Quasi-Optical Interferometers with Enhanced Phase Sensitivity

Quasi-optical interferometers are described intended for determining of electron concentration (ne) of plasma by sounding with submillimetric waves and measuring of phase shift of wave passed through plasma, the shift being caused by change of ne. Design of interferometers is based on a hollow dielectric beam guide and radio-measurement quasi-optical devices. Proposed circuits allow to increase accuracy of ne determination in cases that values of phase shift measured by well-known interferometers make several degrees or several tens of degrees.
