Numerical Analysis of Two Dimensional Tapered Dielectric Waveguide

Abstract

A simple method is presented to obtain the scattering parameters of the two dimensional tapered dielectric waveguide, by discrete approximation to tapering, consisting of series of steps. The two dimensional step discontinuity of the junction of two different dielectric rectangular waveguides has been solved using integral equation arising from the field matching of the discrete modes and the continuous spectrum. Accurate numerical solution has been obtained using Ritz-Galerkin variational approach with appropriate sets of expanding functions. The results in the form of scattering parameters for varying tapered length have been depicted graphically. Computed results from generalized integral expressions are found to be in excellent agreement with results obtained in two-dimensional case. With this method it is possible to design the structure to enlarge the cross section of a mode in a slow and controlled manner. 1 Introduction 2 Generalized Scattering Matrix Technique 3 Analysis of Discontinuity 3.1 Scattering Matrix Formulation (TE Case) 4 Numerical Results 5 Conclusion References

Prototype Design of Compact and Tuneable X-Band Pre-Bunched Free Electron Maser

“…In such waveguide taper, power may be lost to reflection and radiation. The taper should be designed to keep radiation reflection loss at a minimum [16]. Simulation using Vector Fields CONCERTO shows that the return loss of RF power is minimised when the taper length is designed to be equal to 1* waveguide wavelength.…”

Velocity Error Analysis of a K-Band Dual Mode Traffic Radar

“…In FMCW radar the oscillator is VCO with the features of high linearity and wide modulation bandwidth. However, in CW radar the oscillator is DRO or PLL, which has low phase noise and high frequency stability [15][16][17]. Although the oscillators are different, the above two radar systems can be realized with the same RF frontend platform by using MMIC VCO as oscillator and choosing different modulation waveform.…”

The Experimental Results of a Low Power X-Band Free Electron Maser by Electron Pre-Bunching

“…This is to ensure that the interaction between the electrons and EM wave occurs at the correct phase of the EM wave. The thin gap section makes a short electron transit time possible and increases the intensity of the electric field through which the electron passes [9][10][11]. The height of the thin gap section is designed, such that the transit time of electrons in the thin gap section is less than the time for half of a wavelength of the standing wave sinusoidal waveform [12].…”
