Broadband Analysis of Holographic Power Combining Circuits

Holography is a promising technique for power combining applications in the frequency range of short millimeter and submillimeter waves. In this paper, quasi-optical holographic power combining circuits are investigated. An equivalent network is utilized which rigorously models horn arrays and biperiodic dielectric structures in order to design computer-generated holograms. We apply the network model to a 5-element quasi-optical power combiner and demonstrate its capability. The hologram is designed for 150 GHz and has an efficiency of 92.5 % with a 90 % bandwidth of 5.3 %. With the aid of a broadband waveguide power divider and a vector field measurement system, the circuit is analyzed.

Intensification of delignification of Tectona grandis saw dust as sustainable biomass using acoustic cavitational devices

Delignification of sawdust was studied using ultrasound assisted alkali peroxide approach using longitudinal horn for the first time and the efficacy compared with more commonly used configurations of ultrasonic reactors. Comparison with the conventional approach based on stirring has also been presented to establish the process intensification benefits. Effect of different operating parameters such as sodium carbonate concentration (0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 M), hydrogen peroxide concentration (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1 M) and biomass loading (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 wt%), on the efficacy of lignin extraction has been investigated for different ultrasonic reactors. The optimum conditions for probe type ultrasonic horn were established as 150 W, 50% duty cycle and 80% amplitude with optimum process conditions as Na₂CO₃ concentration as 0.2 M, H₂O₂ concentration as 1 M, biomass loading of 10 wt% and operating time of 70 min. Longitudinal horn resulted in best efficacy (both in terms of yield and energy requirements) followed by ultrasonic horn and ultrasonic bath whereas the conventional approach was least effective. The obtained lignin was also analyzed using different characterization techniques. The presence of peaks at wavelength range of 875–817, 1123–1110, and at 1599 cm⁻¹ for the extracted sample confirmed the presence of lignin. Increase in the crystallinity index of the processed sample (maximum for longitudinal horn) also confirmed the lignin removal as lignin is amorphous in nature. Overall it has been concluded that ultrasound can be effectively used for delignification with longitudinal horn as best configuration.     

A variable-gain radiating horn using groove guide

A radiating horn of continuously variable gain using groove-guide is proposed. The beam width in both planes is varied. Some experimental measurements at 100 GHz confirm the behaviour.Work carried out at the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology, Cardiff, U.K.

 提出了一种用于偏馈抛物柱面反射天线的功分喇叭。由于改善了口面上的电磁分布,该功分喇叭可以让馈源阵列的栅瓣电平抑制到－28 dB。用FEKO进行仿真发现,与传统用角锥喇叭阵列作为馈源的抛物柱面反射天线相比,使用功分喇叭直线阵列可以使空间功率合成天线的效率从68%提高到80%,同时天线的增益也能增加0.7 dB。     

阵列馈源偏置抛物面天线合成高功率微波的研究

 运用物理光学分析方法，对使用7单元的扇形喇叭一维阵列和角锥喇叭或圆锥喇叭三角形阵列喇叭束作为单偏置抛物面天线的馈源，空间合成高功率微波进行了比较研究，数值分析表明在阵元输入功率、口面最大场强、天线口径、净空间及天线边缘照度相同,且阵列馈源具有准轴对称主瓣条件下，扇形喇叭构成的一维阵列馈源与单偏置抛物面组成的天线系统的方向性系数和溢出效率优于采用角锥喇叭三角形阵列馈源或圆锥喇叭三角形阵列馈源的天线系统。若将喇叭束直接作为辐射天线使用，由于圆锥喇叭三角形阵列方向性系数对阵元间相位波动的稳定性较好，而更具优势。     

X波段左手材料高功率微波天线罩实验研究

为改善高功率微波天线的性能,设计了一种新型X波段左手材料高功率微波天线罩,并对其进行了实验冷测研究。结果表明,加载一到四层左手材料天线罩均可在一定频率范围内汇聚波束和提高增益,其中加载一层左手材料天线罩时,天线增益提高最大,在频率为9.32 GHz时增益提高最大幅度约为9.64 dB。将实验结果与理论仿真进行对比发现,两者并没有吻合一致。分析了天线罩的功率容量,可以实现高功率微波的应用。     

Antenna Performance of a Directly Dug Corrugated Feedhorn for the 150-GHz Band

We have developed a 150 GHz band corrugated feed horn. These corrugated feed horns have been established by a new machining method, which involves digging corrugations through a metal material. We were able to realize E plane and H plane symmetry, low side lobe level, and low cross-polarization level. Measured co-polarization beam patterns above − 35 dB were consistent with the simulated patterns within a designed frequency range. The peak levels of cross-polarization beam patterns were less than − 30 dB. And, the performances were uniform in several horns. In the present paper, we describe the corrugated horn produced by this methods.     

带有锥形孔的复合变幅杆设计及动态分析

在超声振动拉丝加工过程中,为了实现线材的顺利拉拔,需要应用带有锥形孔的复合变幅杆。为此,本文基于等效四端网络与传输矩阵法,建立了带锥形孔圆锥变幅杆的传输矩阵,推导出带锥形孔圆锥过渡复合变幅杆的频率方程的一般公式。根据推导出的频率方程,应用区间搜索法和牛顿迭代法获取了准确的数值解,实现了该复合变幅杆的纵向振动。之后,应用有限元软件Ansys对设计出的复合变幅杆分别进行模态分析和动力学特性分析,获得了各段不同长度下复合变幅杆谐振频率、放大系数以及最大应力值的变化规律。最后,对制造出的复合变幅杆进行阻抗与振动性能测试,结果表明其频率准确,且振幅比较稳定。     

A planar Bézier profiled horn for reducing penetration force in ultrasonic cutting

An ultrasonic planar horn with a Bézier profile is developed. The first longitudinal displacement mode of the horn is exploited for high displacement amplification in order to reduce the penetration force required to enter and cut materials. The displacement amplification and stress distribution characteristics of the Bézier horn and the commonly used catenary horn are examined. The penetration force by the Bézier horn is nearly 75% of that by the catenary horn with a penetration speed of 0.25 mm/s during cutting a tissue stimulant. At a penetration speed of 0.5 mm/s, the penetration force by the Bézier horn is nearly 85% of that by the catenary horn for cutting a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) material. The decrease in the penetration force by the Bézier horn is attributed to the fact that the displacement amplification of the Bézier horn is 30% higher than that of the traditional catenary horn with the same length and end surface widths.
