Multi-octave metamaterial reflective half-wave plate for millimeter and sub-millimeter wave applications.
The quasi-optical modulation of linear polarization at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths can be achieved by using rotating half-wave plates (HWPs) in front of polarization-sensitive detectors. Large operational bandwidths are required when the same device is meant to work simultaneously across different frequency bands. Previous realizations of half-wave plates, ranging from birefringen...
متن کاملMillimeter-wave achromatic half-wave plate.
We have constructed an achromatic half-wave plate (AHWP) suitable for the millimeter wavelength band. The AHWP was made from a stack of three sapphire a-cut birefringent plates with the opticalaxes of the middle plate rotated by 50.5 deg with respect to the aligned axes of the other plates. The measured modulation efficiency of the AHWP at 110 GHz was 96 +/- 1.5%. In contrast, the modulation ef...

متن کاملGallium Phosphide IMPATT Sources for Millimeter-Wave Applications
The potentiality of millimter-wave (mm-wave) double-drift region (DDR) impact avalanche transit time (IMPATT) diodes based on a wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor material, Gallium Phosphide (GaP) has been explored in this paper. A non-sinusoidal voltage excited (NSVE) large-signal simulation method has been used to study the DC and high frequency characteristics of DDR GaP IMPATTs dsigned to ope...
متن کاملMillimeter and Submillimeter Wave Applications
Many applications of millimeter and submillimeter wave systems have been suggested in the literature but, in general, they have not yet beea employed in practice to any significant degree. This report discusses the advantages and limitations of this frequency region and reviews the potential applications under the categories of radar, communications, radiometry and instrumentation. One of the p...
