损耗介质环与金属环间隔加载的周期损耗介质波导能够有效地控制各种模式的衰减特性,这对于抑制毫米波回旋行波管放大器的绝对不稳定性和提高其性能具有重要作用.针对应用于Ka波段、TE01模的回旋行波管放大器的周期损耗介质加载圆波导,系统地分析了该周期系统与均匀系统间的模式映射关系.研究表明,当介质层厚度一定时,均匀介质加载波导中的高阶模式可以映射为光滑波导中的低阶模式,且相互映射的模式在中空区域的场型一致.周期系统中的模式表现出复合模式的分布.在一个周期中,介质段和金属段的模式分别映射为均匀介质波导和金属波导中的模式.明确周期介质加载波导系统与均匀波导系统间的模式映射关系是分析发生在这种复杂的互作用回路中的回旋电子脉塞注波互作用的前提,对简化其物理模型具有指导作用.     

Complex resonances of conducting spheres with lossy coatings

The electromagnetic scattering amplitude for metal objects coated with a lossless dielectric exhibits a large number of resonances versus real frequency. These resonances are a function of the object shape and size, coating thickness, and coating electrical properties. Previously, it was shown that for coated spheres and nonspherical bare objects, these resonances can be understood in terms of phase matched circumnavigating surface waves and the objects' complex eigenfrequencies. The effect of dielectric loss in the coating on the complex eigenfrequencies and phase velocities of these surface waves is presented for a metal sphere coated with a uniform homogeneous dielectric coating. It is seen that the positions of the complex resonance frequencies move away from the real frequency axis under the influence of dielectric loss in the coating. The effect of this is shown to correspond to the changes in the backscatter spectrum versus real frequency as computed using a Mie series expansion. The significant difference between the lossless and lossy dielectric-coated sphere cases is seen to be due to a modification of the phase velocities of surface waves, particularly the whispering gallery types, and the increased attenuation of the surface wave modes

Approximate 3D model of electromagnetic modes in waveguide cross-shaped junctions with dielectric filling

Athree-dimensional electrodynamic model of hybrid electromagnetic modes in a waveguide junction of cylindrical and rectangular waveguides with dielectric filling of a cylindrical waveguide is proposed in this study. To solve the vector problem, the mode matching technique (MMT) is applied with the separation of the common waveguide junction region and the representation of the field in this region in the form of superposition of the fields of the partial eigenwaves of waveguides. Classification of eigenmodes is carried out: intrinsic resonances of junction based on transcendental modes and resonances of a waveguide-dielectric type. The investigated structure can be used for measuring the electrical parameters of dielectric samples of both cylindrical and rectangular cross-section shape. Since the spectral characteristics of the junction are determined mainly by the size of the central coupling region of the waveguides and the electrical parameters of the dielectric in the junction, the measurements are of a local nature.     

MDM光波导激发高阶SPP模的传输特性

研究了金属-介质-金属(MDM)型表面等离子体激元(SPP)光波导的电磁特性。理论计算结果表明,对于633nm的TM偏振入射光,当介质膜层厚度小于85nm时,波导中只能激发产生一阶SPP模(基模),其余高阶模全部截止。随着介质膜厚度增加,高阶SPP模逐渐被激发产生。当介质膜层厚度较小时,SPP模的有效折射率的实部随阶数的增加而减小,而虚部则随阶数的增加而增加,SPP基模具有最大传输距离。然而,当MDM波导中的介质层厚度超过0.555μm时,由于三阶SPP模的电磁场主要集中在离金属层相对较远的介质层中,其有效折射率的虚部具有最小值,具有最大的传输距离,而非基模。当入射光波长为633nm介质层厚度为0.9μm时,Ag/SiO2/Ag光波导中三阶SPP模的传输距离达到约150μm。

A Lossy Dielectric-Ring Loaded Waveguide With Suppressed Periodicity for Gyro-TWTs Applications

A dielectric-loaded (DL) waveguide is an attractive possibility for interaction circuits with high-power sources in the millimeter-wave regime down to tenths of millimeters, particularly for gyrotron-traveling-wave-tube amplifiers (gyro-TWTs). We present results on a systematic investigation of the influence of the periodically loaded lossy dielectric on the propagation characteristics of the operating modes, which reveals that a complex mode in the periodic system can be mapped to a corresponding mode in an empty waveguide or a uniform DL waveguide. Dielectric losses not only induce modal transitions between different modes with similar field structures and close phase velocities in the uniform system but also unify the discrete mode spectrum into a continuous spectrum in the periodic system. Since the lossy dielectric functions as a power sink, the higher order Bloch harmonic components arising from the structural periodicity are suppressed, and the mode spectrum of the lossy periodic system degenerates into that of an empty waveguide. This alleviates the potential danger of spurious oscillations induced by the higher order harmonic components, making the periodic lossy DL waveguide promising in a high-power millimeter-wave gyro-TWT.     

Coupled mode analysis of a finline

A theoretical analysis of a unilateral finline loaded with arbitrary inhomogeneous lossy dielectric material is presented. The rigorous coupled-mode approach is used. The electromagnetic field in the line is expressed in terms of the modes of a ridged waveguide, and the problem is transformed to a matrix eigenvalue equation. Approximate expressions are derived for investigating the properties of the fundamental mode in finlines loaded with dielectric slabs. Dispersion characteristics, the characteristic impedance, and the attenuation due to dielectric losses and the finite conductivity of the metal coating are computed for various line configurations. The numerical results are compared to data obtained by means of the spectral-domain method, proving the validity and usefulness of the proposed approach     

A dielectric rod waveguide coupled with metal rectangular waveguide

Measurements have been done in the millimeter wave region on a composite waveguide which comprises a dielectric rod waveguide connecting two metal rectangular waveguides. Such a waveguide has been used by us in a Josephson harmonic mixer installed in a small metal cryostat, to prevent the thermal invasion from outside environment and to transmit both signal and LO waves with small losses. The measured transmission loss, that is caused mainly by the coupling loss between metal rectangular waveguides (TE₁₀ mode) and a dielectric rod waveguide (HE₁₁ mode), has been less than 2dB in the frequency range of 52–104 GHz.

Plasma travelling wave antenna

The possibility of using plasma column as linear travelling wave antenna is studied. It is shown that surface current waves propagating in plasma column of finite length are a source of paraxial electromagnetic radiation of decimeter band. Influence of dielectric waveguide, which surrounds cold isotropic plasma, on dispersion properties of plasma column is investigated. The corresponding dispersion equation for eigenwaves of circular dielectric waveguide filled with plasma is derived and solved numerically. Plasma and waveguide parameters are determined under which the surface wave slowing-down is close to unity leading to antenna’s radiation primarily in axial direction. It is shown that in case of plasma density around 10¹²−10¹³ cm⁻³ dispersion of the considered wave is close to dispersion of waves propagating in metal travelling wave antenna.

Cherenkov radiation in a plasma-filled coaxial cylindrical dielectric slow-wave structure

In this paper, a new type of plasma-filled coaxial cylindrical dielectric slow-wave structure that is very beneficial to the beam-wave interaction of the high-power microwave source is developed. The Cherenkov radiation in the plasma-filled coaxial cylindrical dielectric slow-wave structure is examined by use of the self-consistent linear field theory. The dispersion equation and the synchronized condition as well as the wave growth rate of the beam-wave interaction are derived. The dispersion equation clearly shows that the Cherenkov radiation excited in the plasma-filled coaxial cylindrical dielectric slow-wave structure results from the coupling between the slow electromagnetic wave, TM-modes, propagated along the slow-wave structure and the negative-energy space-charge wave propagated along the relativistic electron beam. The numerical results indicate that the dispersion curves are divided into two branches due to the presence of the background plasma in the coaxial cylindrical dielectric slow-wave structure for the identical electromagnetic wave mode, and the radial distributions of the longitudinal fluctuating electric field corresponding to the two dispersion curve branches are completely different. Injection of the background plasma into the slow-wave structure can enhance the output frequency and the wave growth rate of the beam-wave interaction and enables the high-power microwave source that utilizes this kind of slow-wave structure to gain more output power of the microwave with higher output frequency.     

Gyrotron-traveling wave-tube circuits based on lossy ceramics

The gyro-traveling wave tube (gyro-TWT) is a microwave amplifier with simultaneous high power, high frequency, and broad bandwidth capabilities. Techniques for providing a controlled loading of the TE/sub 01/ cylindrical-guide operating mode of a 35 GHz gyro-TWT using monolithic, lossy ceramic structures are presented. The loading scheme, which also suppresses spurious backward-wave oscillations in the TE/sub 11/, TE/sub 21/, and TE/sub 02/ modes, is based on a sequence of alternating ceramic cylindrical shells and metal rings to form the electron beam tunnel. Design techniques for achieving optimal performance and methods for reducing the sensitivity to temperature-induced variations in ceramic dielectric properties are presented.

A study of the dispersion characteristics of cylindrical metal-clad optical waveguides indicates that: (1) the propagation of electromagnetic energy in metal-clad optical waveguides differs in principal from that of dielectric step-index waveguides and ideal metallic waveguides; (2) hybrid modes exist in this structure, and the cutoff frequency of the HE₁₁ mode does not equal zero; (3) TM and HE(EH) modes have attenuation higher at least by an order of magnitude than that of TE modes; and (4) the surface plasma wave can propagate in this structure.

A dielectric-coated circumferential slot array for omnidirectional coverage at microwave frequencies

The design and development of a resonant array of circumferential shunt slots cut into the broad wall of a ring waveguide are presented. This antenna, which is recessed into a metal cylinder and dielectric coated, provides nearly omnidirectional coverage. Calculations using an idealized model consisting of a dielectric-coated flush-mounted array on a metal cylinder were performed and used as the primary basis for design. The array recess design was experimentally determined and shown to control the elevation pattern when the recessed array is mounted on a variety of spacecraft shapes. The tolerance problems and the related trapped wave effects encountered in the development of the array are discussed.
