Analysis of Transmission Characteristics for NRD/Microstrip Line Hybrid Integrated LSE and LSM-Mode Baluns*

The NRD/microstrip line hybrid integration structure shows good behavior for millimeter wave applications. This paper applies the integral equations method to analyze the transmission characteristics of the NRD/microstrip line hybrid integrated baluns coupling through slot and operating in LSE or LSM modes. To apply this method, a new Greens’ function of microstrip line is presented and the slot coupling problems between NRD guide and microstrip line and the practical LSE and LSM-mode baluns are analyzed respectively. The availability of the present approach is validated by rather good agreement between the theoretical results and the experiment data given in the literature.* Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 60371010) (No. 60471037)     

Analysis and application of NRD-guide excitors

In this paper, the NRD-guide excitors using a length of coaxial line which consists of a rectangle external conductor and a thin round inner conductor are presented, and the characteristics of the input impedances of LSE ₁₁ ^o mode and LSM ₁₁ ^o mode at the insertion points are analysed and calculated by using the method of the rector Green's function respectively. The computation results show that the mode excitors are able to improve the operating modes matching between NRD-guide and the quasi-TEM transmission line. The structures are suitable for fabrication LSE ₁₁ ^o mode oscillator and LSM ₁₁ ^o mode oscillator to compose millimeter wave NRD-guide integrated front ends. An example of an LSE ₁₁ ^o mode oscillator in Ka-band is given. Its oscillation frequency and output power could be easily adjusted by changing the parameters of the excitor.     

Tuning the negative electromagnetic response in periodically perforated metal-dielectric-metal structures

We fabricate Ag-SU-8-Ag sandwich metamaterials perforated with a periodic array of dipoles. The transmittance spectra of both experiment and modeling have indicated the existence of low- and high-intensity transmission bands in midinfrared frequencies. The position of these transmission bands depend on the dipole length, and lattice structure. The high-intensity transmission bands are due to the excitation of the external surface plasmon plartion (SPP) modes and the localized modes, while the low-intensity transmission bands are from the excitation of the internal SPP modes. The transmittance of the low transmission bands can be increased by decreasing the relative position of the two transmission bands, and the negative electromagnetic response of the metamaterials is also increased. However, if we further decrease the relative position of the two bands, the low transmission band will be merged in the high transmission band, and no negative electromagnetic response can be retrieved.     

A linear-operator formalism for bianisotropic waveguides

A bianisotropic waveguide can be defined as a cylindrical waveguide filled with bianisotropic materials, and all the conventional waveguides are special cases of the bianisotropic waveguide. In this paper, guided wave propagation in bianisotropic waveguide is analyzed by the theory of linear operators, and two types of adjoint waveguides and inner products are introduced respectively. Based on the concept of adjoint waveguides, the functional expressions of the field equations can be obtained, and from which the eigenvalue problem of the bianisotropic waveguide can be solved. Also, bi-orthogonality relations of guided modes are derived. These biorthogonality relations reported here can be used to expand electromagnetic fields in terms of a complete set of modes in straight bianisotropic waveguide. As an example of application, mode matching formulae for a discontinuity problem are given.     

View on the history of electromagnetics of metamaterials: Evolution of the congress series of complex media

This article describes some of the paths through which electromagnetics research of complex media and metamaterials has reached the present active state. In particular, events of a period in 1990s will be illuminated during which new scientific contacts between Former Soviet Union and the West were established. The series of chiral and bianisotropic meetings between 1993 and 2006 appear as a precursor to today's series of metamaterials congresses.     

Detecting the Rouse and Sub-Rouse Modes in Poly(Butyl Acrylate) and Poly(Ethyl Acrylate) Through Two-Dimensional Dynamic Mechanical Spectra

The difficulties of observing sub-Rouse modes (SRM) and Rouse modes (RM) in acrylate polymers has resulted in many arguments and disputes concerning the nature of their glass-rubber transition. Because different modes have different sensitivity to external perturbations, the two-dimensional dynamic analysis mechanical spectra (2D-DMS) was introduced to detect the local segments motion (LSM), SRM, and RM in poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) and poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA). The results of the asynchronous spectra showed the LSM, SRM, and RM of PBA and PEA are located, respectively, at about (?46 ～ ?29°C), (?28 ～ ?10°C), (?4 ～ 27°C), and about (?12 ～ ?5°C), (?3 ～ 6°C), and (10 ～ 44°C). Furthermore, the LSM and SRM of PBA and PEA have an overlap in the synchronous spectra. This is suggested to be caused by the higher coupling effect in PBA and PEA when compared with strong glass formation polymers, like polyisobutylene (PIB).     

Hybridization effect in coupled metamaterials

Although the invention of the metamaterials has stimulated the interest of many researchers and possesses many important applications, the basic design idea is very simple: composing effective media from many small structured elements and controlling its artificial EM properties. According to the effective-media model, the coupling interactions between the elements in metamaterials are somewhat ignored; therefore, the effective properties of metamaterials can be viewed as the “averaged effect” of the resonance property of the individual elements. However, the coupling interaction between elements should always exist when they are arranged into metamaterials. Sometimes, especially when the elements are very close, this coupling effect is not negligible and will have a substantial effect on the metamaterials’ properties. In recent years, it has been shown that the interaction between resonance elements in metamaterials could lead to some novel phenomena and interesting applications that do not exist in conventional uncoupled metamaterials. In this paper, we will give a review of these recent developments in coupled metamaterials. For the “metamolecule” composed of several identical resonators, the coupling between these units produces multiple discrete resonance modes due to hybridization. In the case of a “metacrystal” comprising an infinite number of resonators, these multiple discrete resonances can be extended to form a continuous frequency band by strong coupling. This kind of broadband and tunable coupled metamaterial may have interesting applications. Many novel metamaterials and nanophotonic devices could be developed from coupled resonator systems in the future.     

New generalized computations of quasi-planar waveguides characteristics

An efficient hybrid field solution to the general multilayer substrates transmission line problems with full shielded and half open cross-sectional geometry is presented by using the waveguide modes coupling and decoupling procedure in the spectral domain. Modal transverse transmission lines corresponding to the LSE and LSM modes are taken into account so that the Green's elements for the edge conditions can be derived by a simple iterative method. In this paper, we analyze not only the propagation constants and characteristic impedances but also the available transmission power capacity and power distribution of most commonly used structures. Normalized eigenmode power levels characterizing the propagation features are computed.
