Resonance Splitting in Two Coupled Circular Closed-Loop Arrays and Investigation of Analogy to Traveling-Wave Optical Resonators

Abstract

Abstract-A well known property of large circular closed-loop arrays is that when the dimensions and the distance of the cylindrical dipoles are properly chosen, the arrays possess very narrow resonances. As far as single isolated loop arrays are concerned, the phenomenon has been predicted and analyzed in the past in the framework of "two-term" theory. In the present paper the same methodology is, for the first time, applied to investigate the system of two coupled identical circular arrays. It is found that the spectral profile of this new array is characterized by the coupling-induced splitting of the resonances of the single loop array into symmetric and antisymmetric supermodes, in direct analogy with other types of coupled electromagnetic cavities. Due to the circular symmetry of the individual arrays, the phenomenon is strongly correlated to the optical counterpart of two coupled traveling-wave optical resonators, such as whispering gallery or microring resonators. By borrowing the resonance splitting model from optical resonators, this analogy connection is investigated and interesting conclusions are reached.

The Analytical Design of a Folded Waveguide Traveling Wave Tube and Small Signal Gain Analysis Using Madey's Theorem

“…The dispersion relationship and the electron beam characteristics are functions of these design parameters and allow a design equation to be derived [20][21][22][23][24][25]. An appropriate normalization procedure allows the normalized design equation to be derived.…”

A Basic Analysis About Induced Emf of Planar Coils to Ring Coils

“…When analyzing coil's inductance, some papers present results of the existence of parasitic capacitances (stray capacitances) [15][16][17], that interfere with the system on several aspects, as transformers [18][19][20][21]. In these researches, evaluations about effects of parasitic capacitances in planar coils and ring coils with diameters greater than 2 cm, as response of the induced emf in the ring coil when a step voltage excites the primary are not found.…”

“…On the other hand, works about resonance are usually formalized in sinusoidal low frequencies on common transformers or, in some cases, in microcircuits as microstrip disks [24,25], etc.…”
