Millimeter wave beams diffracted from reflecting gratings

According to the angular-spectrum method, a radiation beam of an antenna horn in the Fresnal region is decomposed into the plane waves with the fast Fourier transform algorithm and the waves diffracted from a reflection grating are superposed as a diffracted beam. Compared with the reflected beam from the same size mirror, the radiation half width of the diffracted beam from a grating is narrower and its lateral shape is shift. These performances have been experimentally verified at Ka-band by: (1). The relative diffraction efficiencies in the first order with two triangular gratings which is put along propagating direction of a beam produced by a conical lens-horn. (2). H-plane lateral width with power—3dB lapsed of the focus beam from a grating and a mirror in a grating spectrometer for millimeter waves (25–100 GHz).     

MEMS tunable SOI waveguide Bragg grating filter with 1.3 THz tuning range for C-band 100 GHz DWDM optical network

A MEMS tunable integrated waveguide Bragg grating-based filter for C-band optical dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) network is presented and analyzed in this work. Waveguide Bragg grating being a notch filter in the transmission spectrum is used to realize a tunable filter by varying the applied voltages to the fixed–fixed beam loaded with this grating. The strain across the grating is enhanced by choosing MEMS beam configuration such that the metal electrode is the bottom-most layer of the composite fixed–fixed beam. Device dimensions are chosen to achieve a narrow full width half maximum of 0.77 nm, allowing filtering of adjacent channels of 100 GHz DWDM network. A large Bragg wavelength shift of 10.4 nm (1552.52–1562.92 nm) was achieved at 45.8 V actuation providing tuning for 14 DWDM channels with inter-channel cross talk below ? 21 dB, with tuning range of 1.3 THz.

     

Fabrication and numerical simulation of the permeable base transistor

A new transistor structure has been reported in which a thin tungsten grating has been embedded inside a single crystal of gallium arsenide. The embedded metal grating, which forms a Schottky barrier with the gallium arsenide, is the base of the transistor and can be used to raise and lower a potential barrier in the semiconductor between the grating lines. The name given to this device is the permeable base transistor (PBT). Devices have been fabricated with a noise figure of 3.5 dB, an associated gain of 9 dB at 4 GHz, and a maximum frequency of oscillation of 17 GHz. This transistor structure is numerically modeled over a wide range of metal grating thicknesses, periodicities, and carrier concentrations. The results from these simulations have been condensed into a unified equation for the base-to-collector transfer characteristic which is valid for the PBT, FET's, and bipolar transistors, and simplifies the comparison between different device structures. A new iterative technique has been used to approximate the nonequilibrium electron velocity, leading to a predicted fTabove 200 GHz, a maximum frequency of oscillation near 1000 GHz and a power-delay product below 1 fJ for devices with small grating dimensions and large carder concentrations.

Tunable Chirped Fiber Grating Based Variable Time-Delay Network for Phased-Array Antenna Beamforming

In this paper, we present a photonics continuous beamforming system for optically controlled phased-array antenna based on a tunable fiber ring laser source and a novel variable true-time delay network consisting of one single-mode fiber delay line and four tunable chirped grating delay lines. The chirp rate of each chirped grating is tuned by bending a uniform fiber Bragg grating (FBG) bonded at a slant onto the lateral surface of a simply supported beam. This kind of variable true-time delay network can provide five-channel time-delayed signals that can be fed to an antenna array to achieve continuously beam scanning. The proposed true-time-delay unit with 5-element phased array steerer is suitable for phased-array antenna beamforming at frequencies up to 12 GHz.
