A parametric antenna for hydrophysical research on long-distance paths

This work considers the capabilities of a hydroacoustic antenna based on principles of nonlinear acoustics to perform hydrophysical studies on long-distance paths. The antenna is described and results from initial experiments at sea are reported. The antenna is installed at a depth of 40 m at the site of investigations by the Hydrophysical Institute, Abkhazia Academy of Sciences. At a pumping frequency of 20 kHz, it allows the medium to be probed in the 300–3000 Hz range of parametric radiation on long-distance routes. The sharp directional pattern (2° angular resolution) of the broadband parametric radiation ensures single-mode excitation of the marine waveguide throughout the frequency band. Generation of a specific signal by a parametric antenna provides conditions for using the frequency dispersion of the velocity of acoustic signal propagation in the marine waveguide to compress the signal as it travels along a long-distance path.

Antenna measurements on the radiator component of an X-band Vlasov-type mode converter

This paper addresses the radiation patterns launched from circular waveguide radiators as the first step in the design of a Vlasov-type mode convertor that will function at high power levels in the X-band frequency range (8 to 12 GHz). The radiating ends of the radiators are each cut at a specific angle relative to the center axis of the waveguide to form the waveguide launcher component of a Vlasov-type mode convertor. The far-field radiation patterns for three radiators were measured with an antenna pattern-mapping system.ATTN: SLCHD-NW-RS     

Transient radiation in an anisotropic magnetodielectric plate in a waveguide

We have considered transient radiation of a charged particle in an anisotropic magnetodielectric plate placed into a regular waveguide. It is assumed that the charged particle passes through the plate moving at a constant velocity perpendicularly to the waveguide axis. Wave equations and analytical expressions for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) fields in different regions of the waveguide have been obtained. Energies of transient radiation of the moving particle have been calculated. The properties of transient radiation and Vavilov–Cherenkov radiation have been analyzed for the case of a rectangular waveguide. Energies of transient radiation have been calculated for the case of a “thin” plate in the waveguide, when the wavelength in the plate is much greater than the length of the plate.     

Measurement of the parameters of the natural waveguide mode

The possibilities of using the decomposition of natural waveguide modes in a shallow-water sea in case there is a sound velocity gradient into sinusoidal modes of an ideal waveguide is grounded. The applicability range of such decomposition is shown. Dispersion in signals of the modes presented in such a way is determined by mathematical reversal without a test source. The structure of discrete modes in a natural waveguide is determined without utilizing the bottom parameters and sound velocity’s distribution over the waveguide depth. The coefficient of the mode signal’s correlation with the measured parameters of the mode signal and a real signal, introduced into it, is shown to be 0.973. The signals from a point emitter positioned at the depth of 50 m in the frequency range of 90–280 Hz in a shallow-water sea (the Barents Sea, a 120 m depth, a 7 km distance), received by a vertical antenna array comprising 32 receivers spaced equidistantly with a 3-m step are used in the experiment. A real signal has been successfully reversed using a mathematical model.     

Radiation properties of ICRF waveguide couplers

The radiation spectra of a dielectric-filled waveguide (DWG) and a folded waveguide (FWG) antenna in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies are evaluated for tokamaks with the waveguide codes, which model the coupling of the waveguide modes to the plasma waves with outward radiating boundary conditions. The codes provide a self-consistent calculation of the fields across the waveguide apertures for various antenna phasings taking into account a complete set of waveguide eigenmodes including the reflected modes and, in the case of DWG, an arbitrary orientation of the antenna to the plasma magnetic field. In the studied cases, the spectra are found to be well described by a model which is based on a simplified wave field pattern determined by the antenna aperture geometry. Comparison to the corresponding loop antenna is carried out     

Antenna array in the sound field of an arctic waveguide

An antenna array placed in an arctic-type acoustic waveguide is considered. The guided sound field consists of a signal generated by a point source and an isotropic interfering noise produced by the ice cover. The array is operated in a specific regime: the output signals correspond to individual modes of the sound field. The signal received by the array is subjected to correlation processing with a finite averaging time. It is shown that, depending on the processing method, the signal-to-noise ratio can reach 40–60 dB for a realization duration of 1 min, and the quality of the signal detection is increased.

The results of calculations performed in the framework of the approximate approach developed by the authors are presented for the diffraction of sound waves by a stiff spheroid in an acoustic waveguide.

Superlight source of radiation with a waveguide used for bunching an electron beam

A scheme of a generator of electromagnetic-wave radiation is proposed in which a radiating region moves along a radiator with a velocity greater than the velocity of light in vacuum. The superlight motion of the generating region leads to the situation in which the resulting radiation has the properties of Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation. The electron beam of a superlight source is formed while the particles travel across a waveguide along which an electromagnetic wave propagates. The construction of the generator makes it possible to vary the velocity of the radiating region, the radiation pattern, and the radiation beamwidth. Calculations are performed that allow one to evaluate the parameters of the generator and the characteristics of radiation.

Pulse shapes for absolute and convective cyclotron-resonance-maserinstabilities

A linear analysis is presented for pulse shapes produced by a spatial and temporal delta-function disturbance of cyclotron-resonance-maser modes for the case where the initial equilibrium state is free of radiation. A pinch-point analysis based on the theory of R.J. Briggs (1964) and A. Bers (1983) is employed. Numerical and analytical techniques are developed for the straightforward calculation of pinch-point coordinates in a reference frame moving with arbitrary velocity in the axial direction. Examples analyzed include the absolute instability in the waveguide operating mode, in higher harmonics of the operating mode, and in lower-frequency waveguide modes when the operating mode is a higher-order waveguide mode. Effects of waveguide wall resistance on pulse shapes and the effectiveness of such resistance in suppressing or reducing the growth rates of absolute instabilities are also analyzed     

Properties of surface waves in an elastic cylinder filled with a liquid

The properties of harmonic surface waves in an elastic cylinder filled with a liquid are studied. The case of elastic material for which the shear wave velocity is higher than the sound velocity in a liquid is considered. The wave motion is described based on the complete system of equations of the dynamic theory of elasticity and the equation of motion of an ideal compressible liquid. The asymptotic analysis of the dispersion equation in the region of large wave numbers and qualitative analysis of the dispersion spectrum showed that in such a waveguiding system there exist two surface waves, the Stoneley and the Rayleigh waves. The lowest normal wave forms the Stoneley wave on the internal surface of the cylinder. In this waveguide phase, velocities of all normal waves, except for the lowest one, have the velocity of sound in the liquid as their limit. Therefore, the Rayleigh wave on the external surface of the cylinder is formed by all normal waves in the range of frequencies and wave numbers in which phase velocities of normal waves of the composite waveguide and the lowest normal wave of the elastic hollow cylinder coincide.
