DIELECTRIC EFFECT ON THE RADIO-FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS OF A RECTANGULAR WAVEGUIDE GRATING TRAVELING WAVE TUBE

A new type of partial-dielectric-loaded rectangular waveguide grating slow-wave structure (SWS) for millimeter wave traveling wave tube (TWT) is presented in this paper. The radio-frequency characteristics including the dispersion properties, the longitudinal electric field distribution and the beam-wave coupling impedance of this structure are analyzed. The results show that the dispersion of the rectangular waveguide grating circuit is weakened, the phase velocity is reduced and the position of the maximum E _z is basically invariant after partially filling the dielectric materials in the rectangular waveguide grating SWS. Although the coupling impedance decreases a little, it still keeps above 40 Ω.     

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL MULTI-OBJECT SCATTERING SYSTEMS WITH ARBITRARY STRUCTURE

A general analysis approach to multi-object(M-object)scattering systems of ar-bitrary structure is presented.Through the system scattering equation(SSE),the M-objectproblems are first transformed into a series of single-object(S-object)problems and then arethey solved,one-object by one-object,to determine the unknown coefficients of SSE.Finally theSSE is solved to yield the global solutions of original M-object problems.As to the solution ofS-object problems concerned,we use the global numerical boundary condition(GNBC)basedfinite element method(FEM)for complex scatterers,or the moment method(MM)for conduct-ing scatterers.For clarity we will confine ourself in two-dimensional(2-D)cases,and show somecalculation examples of M-object scattering systems for demonstration.

IMPROVED GENERALIZED ADMITTANCE MATRIX TECHNIQUE AND ITS APPLICATIONS TO RIGOROUS ANALYSIS OF MILLIMETER-WAVE DEVICES IN RECTANGULAR WAVEGUIDE

An improved generalized admittance (GAM) matrix technique is presented in this paper. Matrix transformation eliminates the singularity factor of GAM, denominator (1+Γ), because of new presentations of GAM. The relationship equations between II-port current and I-port incidence wave is computed by mode matching method. The generalized scattering matrix (GSM) of waveguide structure and its discontinuity problems is obtained with relationship equations and reflection coefficients. The GSM’s of millimeter-wave multistepped bend and T-junction in rectangular waveguide are computed by the improved GAM technique. The results comparisons between the proposed method and commercial software HFSS10.0 show the validity of the proposed method, which improves the validity of the GAM technique and reduces mathematical efforts. It is general, very efficient and can be used to solve other complicated and multiport network problems.

This paper presents a method to derive the Dyadic Green's Function(DGF)ofa loaded rectangular waveguide by using the image method.In the calculation of the DGF,we use the integral transformation and replace the multi-infinite summation by a single one;thus it greatly simplifies the calculation and saves computer time.As an example of the DGF'sapplication,we give the moment method's scattering field calculation of a metal sphere resting onthe broad wall of the loaded rectangular waveguide.Results of our calculations well agree withboth data of experiments performed in our laboratory and those are published.It is easy to seethat the method used in this paper can be expanded to other related waveguide problems.

DESIGN OF A NEW TYPE OF ELECTRO-OPTIC POLYMER WAVEGUIDE MODULATOR WITH ULTRAHIGH BANDWIDTH

In this article, rectangle, trapezoidal and T type microstrip lines embedded into up cladding of the waveguide are designed. By the analysis of the finite element method (FEM), this embedded microstrip line has perfect velocity matching between the electric signal and lightwave carrier and at the same time, conductor loss of the trapezoidal and T type microstrip lines also reduce. Thus the modulator’s bandwidth increases greatly. Calculations show that, comparing with one of non-embedded rectangle microstrip line which is the most familiar configuration of polymer modulator, the optical 3-dB bandwidths of embedded trapezoidal and T type microstrip increase 264% and 339% respectively under the condition of impedance matching.

SUPPRESSING THE COHERENT SPECKLE OF SAR IMAGES WITH WAVELET ANALYSIS

This paper studies Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images contaminated by the coherent speckle noise with the multiresolution analysis of wavelet transform. This study shows that the influences of the speckle on different frequency components of the SAR image are different, and that the SAR image and the speckle have different manners of singularity. So, this paper presents a denoising method of wavelet analysis to reduce the speckle. Some experiments approve that this method not only suppresses the speckle effectively, but also preserves as much target characteristics of the original image as possible. It shows that this denoising method of wavelet analysis offers a very attractive alternative to suppress the coherent speckle noise of the SAR image.     

ANALYSIS OF ARBITRARILY TRAPEZOIDAL-GROOVE GUIDE WITH THE CONFORMAL MAPPING METHOD

The arbitrarily open trapezoidal-groove guide is analyzed with the conformal mapping technique. A new formula is given for the evaluation of one fundamental parameter associated with the technique. The relationship between the cut-off wavelength for the dominant mode and the geometry of the guide structure is studied; dispersion characteristic of the groove guide is also given. Some numerical results are shown to be in good agreement with both experimental data and the results of the finite element method (FEM). Moreover, it is testified that dispersion of the trapezoidal-groove guide is low. The obtained results are significant for the design and application of the open trapezoidal-groove guide for millimeter waves.     

MODAL ANALYSIS OF A SLOTTED WAVEGUIDE: COMPARISON BETWEEN ANALYTIC SOLUTION AND COMPUTER SIMULATIONS

Because of the complicated geometry of the slotted structure, analytical theories of such structures are inevitably developed on the basis of simplifying assumptions. On the other hand, the accuracy of the theory is of importance to the design of microwave interaction structures. In this study, modes of the slotted waveguide are investigated analytically and simulated with the HFSS code. It is shown that, in spite of the approximations made, the dispersion relation and field patterns of the standard analytical theory are in excellent agreement with the HFSS simulations over the complete range of the slot depth. Modes not built into the theory will also be noted.
