摘要:

The problem of a thin variable-length cylindrical post in a rectangular waveguide is investigated by an approach which permits the current distribution on the post to be determined accurately. This in turn permits the reflection coefficient to be evaluated accurately. The case considered is that where the frequency and waveguide dimensions are such that only the TE10mode can propagate. Off-centred posts, little considered in previous studies, are specifically considered, as are the resonance characteristics of the post. An experimental study is also reported which demonstrates the accuracy of the theoretical predictions.

摘要:

The reradiation characteristics of a grating coupler for a grounded dielectric slab waveguide are investigated for the transverse magnetic mode, taking into account the finite conductivity of the ground plane. A pair of canonical equations for the coupler are derived. Analyses based on the solution of the canonical equations show the effects of the finite conductivity on the minimum reradiation coefficient, the optimum modulation index of the grating, the optimum incident angle, and the sensitivity of the reradiation to the changes in the incident angle about the optimum value. The coupler with the grating on the conducting surface is compared with the coupler having the grating on the film-cover interface for both the transverse-magnetic and transverseelectric modes.

摘要:

The variational expression of the line capacitance is derived for the coplanar waveguide (CPW) with thick metal coating for the first time. It is presented in the general form to be applicable to the case with uniaxially anisotropic media. An efficient and accurate numerical method is employed to calculate the line parameters, and it reveals the effect of the metalisation thickness of a CPW.

摘要:

The transient-excitation problem of an open dielectric slab by the integral transform method is solved. The solution is represented by an expansion in discrete spectrum functions (so-called steady-improper or nonmodal complex oscillations) increasing in space when moving away from a slab surface. The physical interpretation of the improper complex oscillations is proposed. The space-time existence region of the solution is defined. The oscillation expansions are shown to describe a transient process in the structure.

摘要:

A near-field/far-field transformation procedure is described which is based on cylindrical mode expansion techniques and provides the capability for dealing with probes of any directivity. The principle of the method is demonstrated by computer simulation and the approach is validated in practice by predicting the 2-dimensional far-field patterns of slotted waveguide arrays. The near-field data is acquired with directive probes of up to 9 wavelengths in size at ranges of 0.1 D2/λ The effects of probe position errors are also discussed.

摘要:

An algorithm to acquire a desired signal of unknown direction and waveform and to steer nulls to jammers by a process of sequential selection and testing of auxiliary beams in a sidelobe canceller is proposed. The receiver must be able to recognise the desired signal when its input SNR exceeds some given threshold of around 10 dB. For weak desired signals, the achievable output SNRs approach those obtained by the beamformer in the absence of jamming, but a saturation effect occurs as input signal power increases; output SNRs saturate relatively early and become dispersed in value, although remaining quite useable. Performance against jamming in diffuse multipath conditions typical of the urban environment is evaluated with fairly satisfactory results. Comparison is made with the competitive techniques of eigenvector steering and the use of a linearly constrained adaptive beamformer with an augmented sample correlation matrix diagonal.

摘要:

In large Cassegrain antennas careful design is required to minimise the detrimental effects on the antenna performance caused by blocking of the radiation by the subreflector support. A study of the aperture blocking by some possible support structures has been carried out for the United Kingdom/Netherlands millimetrewave telescope antenna which has very stringent mechanical specifications. By examining the dependence of the blockage on the structural geometry and analysing the mechanical performance, an optimum structure has been achieved. Although the structure is required to support a secondary, which oscillates at up to 15 Hz without causing any spurious movements which are significant in comparison to the 0.4 mm shortest operating wavelength, the loss of gain has been kept down to 7.4%.

摘要:

The paper presents a bibliography of approximately 150 References concerned with aspects of radiowave propagation affecting terrestrial line-of-sight microwave links operating in the frequency range 10 GHz to 30 GHz. The References cover the period 1971 to 1985 and have been classified by means of a matrix scheme, to allow the rapid selection of relevant papers.

摘要:

The systematic synthesis of an optically shaped dual-offset reflector antenna with uniformly phased aperture and with source and aperture power distributions independently prescribed is reviewed. A recent paper showed that a method for dealing with circular apertures could be extended to noncircular apertures by the use of conformal mapping. In the paper we describe an alternative method in which the aperture boundary is continuously deformed to the required shape. Examples show that systems with elliptical apertures of high axial ratios (e.g. 4:1) can be successfully designed. The problem of interpolating points on the reflector surfaces has been addressed using bicubic splines.
