Far-Field Pattern of a Focal-Plane Array-Lens Antenna at Millimeter Wavelengths

In this paper an analysis of the far-field pattern of a focal-plane array in the case of two different lenses, a coma-free lens and a hyperbolic lens, and their comparison, are presented. Ray tracing and aperture integration are used. The calculated field pattern at W band is presented. The focal-plane elements are assumed to be corrugated horn. The f / D of the lens is 1.3. The coma-free lens is designed by step integration. The calculation results show that the coma-free lens is superior to the hyperbolic lens in the imaging performance. The coma-free lens can contain more pixels under the condition that the beam size and beam quality are almost constant over the range of angles scanned and the differences among beams gain less 1.8 dB. The aperture efficiency and directivity are also presented.

Millimeter-wave Low Sidelobe Time Modulated Linear Arrays with Uniform Amplitude Excitations

The study of millimeter-wave low sidelobe linear arrays with time modulation technique is presented in this paper. Special emphasis is on the realization of low sidelobes with uniform amplitude excitations, which are easier for the practical implementation. Two types of time modulated linear arrays with uniform amplitude excitations, namely, the variable aperture size (VAS) linear arrays with optimized time sequences and the linear arrays with optimized random time sequences were studied. The optimized time sequences are obtained via the differential evolution (DE) algorithm and the genetic algorithm (GA). Many factors that affect the array performance are discussed.

Fabrication of metal-nanoparticle/carbon-fiber composites having a microtube-array morphology

In the current work, we succeeded in incorporation of Pt ions into sisal fiber (SF) – a biological matrix with a characteristic morphology of microtube array, and in subsequent in situ synthesis of Pt nanoparticles of ca. 3.6 nm. Carbonization of the SF with Pt nanopaticles at 400°C produced Pt-nanoparticle/carbon-fiber composite, preserving the initial microtube-array morphology of SF. It is interesting that the walls of neighboring microtubes and the middle lamella between these microtubes were fused by carbonization, and a homogeneous wall was formed. Although the size of Pt nanoparticles was enhanced to ca. 5.3 nm after carbonization, the solid matrices (from cellulose to carbon) acted as effective barriers against the growth of Pt nanoparticles. The Pt-nanoparticle/carbon-fiber composite combines several important aspects, including the morphologies of fiber and microtube-array, carbon matrix, and Pt nanoparticles. Thus it might be a novel type of catalyst and have potential applications in many fields.

Four-beamlets laser array and its propagation

A new type of laser array named four-beamlets laser array is proposed. Based on the diffraction integrals, analytical propagation formulae for the four-beamlets laser array passing through paraxial aligned and misaligned optical systems are derived, respectively. The four-beamlets laser array can also be expressed as a superposition of a series of Hermite Gaussian modes by using polynomial expansion. As a numerical example, the propagation properties of a four-beamlets laser array in free space are illustrated graphically. The fractional Fourier transform of the four-beamlets laser array is also studied. Our model provides a convenient way to describe laser array with four-beamlets.     

Investigation of spontaneous magnetization of coupled 2×2 superconducting π ring array

We present the theoretical investigation of spontaneous magnetization of a coupled 2×2 πring array. It is indicated by free energy calculation that the system has the lowest energy when the four π rings have the full antiparallel configuration. Furthermore, the numerical evaluation results show that the system which favours full antiparallel spontaneous magnetization is a quantum effect deriving from the phase cohering of the superconducting quantum wavefunctions in the four superconducting rings through the shared Josephson junctions.     

Decentered elliptical flattened Gaussian beam

A decentered flattened Gaussian beam (DEFGB), is defined by a tensor method. The propagation formula for a DEFGB passing through an axially nonsymmetrical paraxial optical system is derived through vector integration. The derived formula can be reduced to the formula for a generalized decentered elliptical flattened Gaussian beam under certain condition. As an example application of the derived formula, the propagation characteristics of a DEFGB in free space are calculated and discussed. As another example we have studied the properties of superposition with radial array consisted by DEFGB.     

Theoretical study of 2 X 2 element planar array of equilateral triangular patch microstrip antenna in plasma medium

The radiation properties of 2 X 2 element planar array of equilateral triangular patch microstrip antenna in plasma medium are studied. The array factor and far-zone EM-mode and P-mode radiation fields of the array geometry are derived using vector wave function techniques and pattern multiplication approaches. The total field patterns and various characteristics of pattern such as half power beam width (HPBW), first null beam width (FNBW) and direction of maximum radiation are computed for two different values of progressive phase excitation difference between the elements. The results of this array geometry are obtained both in plasma medium and in free space and compared with those of single element equilateral triangular patch microstrip antenna.
