磁压对级联爆磁压缩脉冲发生器性能的影响

为了研究负载为mH量级的间接馈电两级级联柱-锥构型的爆磁压缩产生器的基本物理过程和能量转换机理，利用描述爆磁压缩物理过程的2维爆轰磁流体力学程序MFCG(Ⅴ)，以实验模型结构参数为基础模拟计算了一系列模型，分析了磁压对金属套筒径向膨胀速度及膨胀过程的影响。计算结果表明:套筒的径向膨胀速度取决于爆轰压与磁压的共同作用，在爆磁压缩过程的绝大部分时间里，向外膨胀的爆轰压都远大于向内压缩的磁压，因而套筒的径向膨胀速度主要是由爆轰压决定;但是在功率放大级的后半段，也就是发生器电流增长最快阶段，磁压也迅速增长，它的增长大大降低了套筒的径向膨胀速度；在功率放大级的后期，磁压已经超过爆轰压，它对系统设计的影响已经不能完全忽略。     

Multiple Scattering Solution of Millimeter Wave Propagation in Strong Sandstorm

As the operating frequencies of communication systems more higher into the millimeter wave range, and the density of particles in medium is more denser, the effects of multiple scattering in sandstorm become more significant. This paper treats the problems of electromagnetic multiple scattering in strong sandstorm by the Monte Carlo method. Based on the analytical theory of multiple scattering, the millimeter wave propagation and scattering in discrete random media are investigated by means of the particle-tracking technique. The millimeter wave is regarded as a Markov chain of wave particle collisions in a medium in which it is scattered and absorbed. Considering the effect of multiple scattering, millimeter wave attenuation induced by strong sandstorm is simulated numerically. The values of theoretical calculation are in good agreement with the measured results of simulated experiment at 34 and 93 GHz.

Characteristics of millimeter wave detection in a Fabry-Perot resonator using a YBCO-BiO composite superconductor

A quasioptical technique with a hemispherical-type Fabry-Perot resonator for measuring characteristics of millimeter wave detection using a YBCO-BiO composite superconductor has been successfully developed. This Fabry-Perot resonator consists of a spherical mirror and a plane mirror mounted on the cold head of the refrigerator, under a controlled temperature of 40 to 300 K. The method offers the advantages of estimating irradiation power, easily controlling the sample temperature, analyzing the mode of the irradiated millimeter waves and easily extending to higher frequencies. The superconducting millimeter wave detector has been measured with this technique, with measured sensitivities of 46.5 V/W (70 K) to 160 V/W (35 K) at 50 GHz. These results are close to the theoretical values calculated numerically from the characteristics of the detector. It was confirmed that the millimeter wave detection system using the Fabry-Perot resonator is suitable for estimating the sensitivity of the high-Tc superconducting millimeter wave detector.

ESR device using a submillimeter wave gyrotron as a radiation source and a pulse magnet for high field up to 30 T has been constructed. Our gyrotrons (Gyrotron FU series) were developed as millimeter and submillimeter wave radiation sources and have attractive advantages for ESR spectroscopy, for example, high power and frequency tunability over broad range.

In these two cases, the gyrotron was operated by complete cw mode. In the final case, a pulse technique was applied to the ESR, the gyrotron was operated in pulse mode and the pulsed magnetic field was generated in the synchronized phase with the gyrotron operation.

Application of Robust Incomplete Cholesky Factorizations Preconditioned CG Algorithms for FEM Analysis of Millimeter Wave Filters

The Incomplete Cholesky factorizations preconditioning scheme is applied to the conjugate gradient (CG) method for solving a large system of linear equations resulting from finite element method (FEM) analysis of millimeter wave filters. As is well known, the convergence of CG method deteriorates with increasing EM wave number and in millimeter wave band the eigen-values of A are more and more scattered between both the right and the left half-plane. The efficient implementation of this preconditioned CG (PCG) algorithm is described in details for Complex coefficient matrix. With incomplete factorization preconditioning scheme in the conjugate gradient algorithm, this PCG approach can reach convergence in 20 times CPU time shorter than CG for several typical millimeter wave structures.     

Generation of Optical Millimeter Wave Using Two Cascaded Polarization Modulators Based on Frequency Octupling Without Filtering

Abstract

An approach to generate an optical millimeter wave is introduced with frequency octupling using two cascaded polarization modulators followed by polarizers, respectively. By adjusting the modulation indexes of polarization modulators, only the ±4th-order sidebands are generated with a pure spectrum. Since no filter is needed, the proposed technique can be used to generate a frequency-tunable millimeter wave with a large frequency-tunable range. To prove the feasibility of the proposed approach, a simulation is conducted to generate an 80-GHz millimeter wave, and then its transmission performance is checked.

Support Vector Regression Model for Millimeter Wave Transitions

In this paper, we introduce a new method, support vector regression (SVR) method, to model millimeter wave transitions. SVR is based on the structural risk minimization (SRM) principle, which leads to good generalization ability for regression problem. The SVR model can be electromagnetically developed with a set of training data and testing data which produced by the electromagnetic simulation. Two Ka-band millimeter wave transitions, i.e., waveguide to microstrip transition and coaxial to waveguide adapter, are used as examples to validate the method. Experimental results show that the developed SVR models have a good predictive ability, and they are useful for interactive CAD of millimeter wave transitions.
