Investigation of an X-band magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator

An X-band magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator （MILO） is designed and investigated numerically and experimentally for the first time. The X-band MILO is optimized in detail with KARAT code. In simulation, the X-band MILO, driven by a 720 kV, 53 kA electron beam, comes to a nonlinear steady state in 4.0 ns. High-power microwaves （HPM） of TEM mode is generated with an average power of 4.1 GW, a frequency of 9.3 GHz, and power conversion efficiency of 10.870 in durations of 0-40 ns. The device is fabricated according to the simulation results. In experiments, when the voltage is 400 kV and the current is 50 kA, the radiated microwave power reaches about 110 MW and the dominating frequency is 9.7GHz. Because the surfaces of the cathode end and the beam dump are destroyed, the diode voltage cannot increase continuously. However, when the diode voltage is 400 kV, the average power output is obtained to be 700 MW in simulation. The impedance of the device is clearly smaller than the simulation prediction. Moreover, the duration of the microwave pulse is obviously shorter than that of the current pulse. The experimental results are greatly different from the simulation predictions. The preliminary analyses show that the generations of the anode plasma, the cathode flare and the anode flare are the essential cause for the remarkable deviation of the experimental results from the simulation predictions.

Energy unidirectional transmission in an asymmetrically finite transmission line

The phenomenon of energy unidirectional transmission is numerically investigated by using a system of two coupled discrete nonlinear electrical transmission lines, each line of the network contains a finite number of cells and has different pass band structures, respectively. Using numerical simulations, we examine the frequency multiplication of the driving frequency and the lattice filtering effect in the line. These lead to the generation of energy unidirectional transmission. In the present work, energy is carried by the second harmonic wave in the pass band. In addition, we also study the dependence of the energy efficiency on the driving amplitude and other parameters of the model, such as the system size and the nonlinear coefficient, by calculation. Furthermore, after detailed numerical simulation, an experimental demonstration is realized. The experimental results agree with those in simulation qualitatively.

Acoustical characteristics of a multichannel transmission line

The properties of an acoustic system called by the author ”a multichannel transmission line” (MTL) are considered. Analytical expressions are derived for the following main acoustical characteristics of an MTL consisting of an arbitrary number N of single lines: the input impedance, the resonance frequencies, the reflection and transmission factors for an MTL-insulator, and the reflection factor for an MTL-absorber. For these quantities, numerical calculations are performed, and their frequency dependences are presented for different parameters of the constituent lines in the cases N=2 and 3. It is shown that the acoustical characteristics of MTL-insulators and MTL-absorbers have considerable advantages over the characteristics of similar systems designed on the basis of single lines.     

Analysis of metamaterials using transmission line models

We use simple transmission line models with lumped elements of inductance and capacitance to interpret optical transmission and reflection spectra of cut wires and cut-wire pairs in the near infrared region. The numerical values of the elements are obtained by fitting experimental or numerical simulated reflectance and transmittance spectra. The scattering parameters and the retrieved effective material parameters calculated from the transmission line models show good agreements with those obtained from experiments or numerical simulations. This indicates that transmission line theory is a powerful tool for designing and analyzing metamaterials at optical frequencies. PACS 41.20.Jb; 78.67.-n; 78.66.Sg

Performance robustness of a noise-assisted transmission line

In this paper we analyze the stochastic-resonant behavior of a chain of forward-coupled bistable overdamped oscillators used as a transmission line with possible applications to neurophysiology, information transmission and storage. We drive the line with a random sequence of non-return-to-zero bits and each oscillator is independently perturbed by noise. The line is analyzed for varying coupling strengths that lead to different regimes, ranging from noise-supported to coupling-supported transmission. We characterize the transmission performance by parameters such as output bit error rate and delivered signal-to-noise ratio, and show them to improve and remain flat for a broad range of noise intensities in all coupling regimes. In particular, we found that this system exhibits an enhanced robustness as compared to a linear transmission channel impaired only by additive noise.
