Simple Millimeter Wave Dielectric Disc Filter with Very Flat Passband Characteristic

A particular fitter design suitable for millimeter- and submillimeter-waves is presented. By mounting equally spaced dielectric discs of identical thickness inside an overmoded circular waveguide very flat bandpass-filters with a relative bandwidth of about ±6% can be achieved. Normalized to the guided wavelength the air spacing corresponds to 1/4, 3/4, ... whereas the thickness of the dielectric disc is an integer multiple of 1/2. This particular design is possible for an odd number of discs only. A design example shows 19 GHz bandwidth at 150 GHz. A typical application is side-band filtering for radiometers at plasma experiments.     

Can Millimeter Waves Generate Electroporation?

Analysis of the field distributions in a single biological cell under electromagnetic wave is given. With Debye approximation, the dielectric relaxation of each part of the cell, including the extracellular and cellular media, the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane, was taken into account. Making use of some typical parameters for a cell, the voltage across nuclear and cytoplasma membranes under electromagnetic waves are calculated up to millimeter wave frequency range. The calculated result indicates that it is unlikely to generate electroporation by present available millimeter wave sources.     

A Future Millimeter/Sub–Millimeter Radiometer for Satellite Observation of Ice Clouds

The instrument concept of a future spaceborne millimeter/sub-millimeter radiometer is proposed in this paper for the remote sensing of ice clouds from satellite. The proposed radiometer is expected to operate at a series of frequencies within the millimeter and sub-millimeter wave range from 150 to about 900 GHz. Five frequencies are selected in the atmospheric windows, i.e., 150, 220, 463, 683, 874 GHz, and at each frequency there are two orthogonally polarized channels. Three water vapor channels located close to 183.31 GHz are also included in this instrument, since they can provide water vapor information, which is needed for ice cloud parameter retrieval. To simplify system design and test, a modular design philosophy is followed in the receiver frontend design and two antennas are used separately for the millimeter and sub-millimeter channels. Overall, the instrument requirements can be met with today's technology, except for the channels at the highest frequencies, where the radiometric sensitivity can be larger than the required 1.0 K for the 10 km spatial resolution (2.5 ms integration time). However, this situation can be improved by averaging neighboring pixels in data processing if certain compromise in the spatial resolution can be made at these frequencies.

Broadband Orotron Operation at Millimeter and Submillimeter Waves

Due to high selectivity of open cavity, wider electron beams with higher current can be used in orotron as compared with other Cherenkov devices. It provides important advantages at short millimeter and submillimeter waves. Theory and preliminary experiments in the short part of millimeter and long part of submillimeter wavelength range show that orotron with operating voltage of few kV can generate significantly higher output power than existing BWOs. Combined electronic and mechanical frequency tuning in the band of about of octave has been obtained.     

Transmission Modes of Closed Elliptic-Groove Waveguides for Millimeter Waves

In this paper, a new type of horizontal-flat and vertical-flat closed elliptic-groove guides is firstly presented. The field components and characteristic equations for some main transmission modes of the closed elliptic-groove guides are derived by with the help of the mode-matching method and Mathieu function. The variations of the cut-off wavelengths along with eccentricities, widths and lengths of the parallel plates for a number of lower order transmission modes of the closed elliptic-groove guides are also analysed in detail. The calculated results in good agreement with ones in the relevant references are of very important values in theoretical researches and actual applications of closed elliptic-groove guides for millimeter and submillimeter waves.     

On Causes of Biological Efficiency of Low-Intensive Millimeter Waves

The process of the ions transport through the biological membrane is considered. A role of air microbubbles efficiently mixing a near-membrane liquid layer in the presence of a temperature gradient is pointed out. These circumstances result in lowering an energy barrier height of the transmembrane ion-transport. It is shown that even low-level irradiation by the millimeter waves creates the temperature gradient, which is enough for effective mixing of near-membrane liquid's layer. It is demonstrated that a process of restoration an equilibrium air-distribution in the intercellar medium after ceasing the microwave irradiation proceeds according to the diffusion mechanism, i.e. rather slow.     

Dielectric-Lined Multiwave Cerenkov Generators Producing High Power Millimeter Waves

This paper presents the concept of a Dielectric-lined Multiwave Cerenkov Generator(DMWCG) producing high power millimeter waves, which is investigated with a two and one half dimensional( ) electromagnetic relativistic Particle-in-Cell(PIC) simulation code. It is showed that the DMWCG can operate in a lower diode-voltage regime with much higher radiation efficiency as compared with the usual Multiwave Cerenkov Generator(MWCG). The simulation work indicates both the downshift of the wave frequency in the presence of the dielectric liner and the existence of the optima for the permittivity of the liner as well as for the magnitude of the guiding magnetic field. The required intensity of the guiding field is reduced with the introducing of the liner. The radiation is generated at the dominant frequency of 31.5GHz. The power level of 1.5GW is achieved, with radiation efficiency up to 15%. The features of parameter dependency are presented. And reasonable explanation is put forward. In addition, the enhanced propagation of the electron beam is studied in the presence of the dielectric liner.     

Dispersion Robustness of Millimeter Waves Generated by Up-Conversion Strategies

Abstract

The performance degradation caused by transmission along dispersive single-mode fibers of optically generated millimeter-wave signals using up-conversion is theoretically assessed and validated by numerical simulation. Up-conversion techniques based on optical double sideband, optical single sideband, and optical carrier suppression are considered. The generation of 60 GHz by frequency tripling using the optical single sideband is shown to be particularly tolerant to the fiber dispersion. The practical imbalance of Mach-Zehnder modulators is taken into account for optical carrier suppression modulation, where the finite extinction ratio is found to increase tolerance to fiber dispersion.

Doubly‐Charged Xe Ions Evidenced by Time Resolved RPA Measurement in the Far Field Plume of a Low‐Power HET

A low power Hall Effect Thruster (HET), based on a permanent magnet circuit, was investigated in the GREMI laboratory facility. The thruster operated in the working range between 50 and 300 W and the previously measured thrust is between 4 and 16 mN for an anodic efficiency respectively between 15% and 27%. The pulsed character of the thruster current is an important feature of this HET. The ion current's bursts are recorded at 30 and 70 cm from the exit plane in the thruster plume and are time‐resolved, which lead to a preliminary analysis of the time of flight (TOF) phenomena. This paper presents a detailed study of these bursts of ion current in the plume. The total ion current is shown to be a superposition of 2 distinct contributions of charged species. In complement, a controlled single current interruption in stable anodic current condition leads to exactly the same features than in oscillating mode. This crucial verification garantees the validity of the time of flight origine of the two distinct contributions. Then, the slower one is the more intense and is proportional to the ion Xe+ current whereas the faster one could be attributed either to doubly‐charged Xe⁺⁺ or to superfast Xe⁺. The work presents a way to determine unambiguously the nature of the fast contribution by recording the Retardated Potential Analyser (RPA) signals at various repelling grid potentials with respect to time. The energy distribution of the 2 wellseparated contributions are reconstructed and confirms the contribution of doubly‐charged xenon ions (Xe⁺⁺) in the plume. This way of RPA collecting data and interpretation presents the main advantage tobe an easy way for the identification of the nature of the charged species in the plume.
