Radiation Characteristics of a Dielectric Slab Waveguide Periodically Loaded with Thick Metal Strips

A theoretical analysis is presented for the radiation characteristics of a dielectric slab waveguide periodically loaded with thick metal strips. A boundary-integral-equation formulation is employed to describe the fieIds in the grating layer. Through numerical calculations, we show that the leakage constant of the fundamental TM mode is much larger than that of the fundamental TE mode. This property will find application in mode filters for millimeter- and submillimeter-wave integrated circuits.     

Investigation on a Novel Leaky Wave Antenna with Double Radiation Beam Composed of Left-handed Slab Loaded Hybrid Waveguide using Planar Technology

A novel leaky wave antenna with double radiation beam composed of left-handed slab loaded hybrid waveguide using planar technology is proposed in this paper and its leaky characteristics are investigated with a method that the multimode network theory is combined with mode-matching method. The study of dispersion curves reveals that the proposed antenna structure supports two leaky modes corresponding to the forward and the backward radiations respectively. It demonstrates that the proposed antenna is of desirable property that can radiate both forward and backward directions simultaneously with quite simple and flexible configuration. Extensive numerical results of leaky characteristics with different structural parameters of the antenna are given to provide useful guidelines for the design of the new antenna.     

Bragg Interaction of Electromagnetic Waves in a Ferrite Slab Periodically Loaded with Metal Strips

The waveguiding characteristics of electromagnetic TE waves in a ferrite slab periodically loaded with metal strips are investigated. Theoretical formulation by means of the spectral domain approach is employed to obtain the Brillouin diagrams of two types of volume modes and a surface mode. It is found that the nonreciprocal properties of waves depend on the metal strip profile and bias magnetic field strength. Experiments on the magnetic-field dependence of the Bragg frequency and the stop bandwidth are carried out in the millimeter-wave frequencies. Typical results obtained from a polycrystalline YIG slab with periodic gold strips deposited on one surface are stop bandwidth about 2.14 GHz, with return loss about 2 dB at the Bragg frequency of 47.5 GHz, for the bias magnetic-field strength of 5.7 kG. The Bragg frequency can be tuned over the range of 1.39 GHz by varying the bias magnetic field from 0 to 8.2 kG. Experimental results show good agreement with theoretical predictions.     

Dielectric-Resonator-Based Composite Right/Left-Handed Transmission Lines and Their Application to Leaky Wave Antenna

Propagation and radiation characteristics of 1-D dielectric-resonator-based composite right/left-handed metamaterial structures with open mesh plates are investigated as a function of configuration parameters. The complex effective permittivity and permeability are estimated from the scattering parameters of the unit-cell structure. Based on this configuration, the single-mode transmission line is designed and the backfire-to-endfire frequency-scanned leaky wave antenna is implemented. It is found from numerical simulations that the 30-cell leaky wave antenna has a gain of 10 dBi with a scanning angle of over 90deg covering backfire-to-endfire directions. The measurement results show as wide beam-steering angles as numerically predicted.

A Variational Theory for Wave Propagation in Inhomogeneous Dielectric Slab Loaded Waveguides

A novel numerical technique based on the variational formulation defined only in the slab is developed to study the loaded rectangular waveguide with an inhomogeneous dielectric slab. The variational equation for the boundary value problem is formulated and solved numerically, using the finite element method with piecewise quadratic trial functions. A comparison of this new technique with the conventional variational ones is presented. Various propagation characteristics, such as the phase constant, useful bandwidth, power handling capacity, and attenuation constants due to conductor and dielectric losses, are investigated for the waveguide centrally loaded with a slab of parabolic dielectric profile. The effects of changes in dielectric profiles are discussed by examining the results for the slabs with constant and parabolic profiles.

Design and Experimental Demonstration of Cherenkov Radiation Source Based on Metallic Photonic Crystal Slow Wave Structure

This paper presents a kind of Cherenkov radiation source based on metallic photonic crystal (MPC) slow-wave structure (SWS) cavity. The Cherenkov source designed by linear theory works at 34.7 GHz when the cathode voltage is 550 kV. The three-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation of the SWS shows the operating frequency of 35.56 GHz with a single TM₀₁ mode is basically consistent with the theoretically one under the same parameters. An experiment was implemented to testify the results of theory and PIC simulation. The experimental system includes a cathode emitting unit, the SWS, a magnetic system, an output antenna, and detectors. Experimental results show that the operating frequency through detecting the retarded time of wave propagation in waveguides is around 35.5 GHz with a single TM₀₁ mode and an output power reaching 54 MW. It indicates that the MPC structure can reduce mode competition. The purpose of the paper is to show in theory and in preliminary experiment that a SWS with PBG can produce microwaves in TM₀₁ mode. But it still provides a good experimental and theoretical foundation for designing high-power microwave devices.
