Characteristics of Guided-wave Electromagnetic Bandgap Structure

1. Abstract The performances of the periodic surface structures (PSS) of different geometric shapes on the ground plane are studied. Simulated results with full wave electromagnetic analyses are in good agreement with those experimental data. The optimal structure of PSS bringing about the perturbation electromagnetic waves and power loss will be determined. The proposed wideband PBG microstrip...

An Electronically Switchable Leaky Wave Antenna

We report an electronically switchable dielectric leaky wave antenna. The main beam angle can be electronically steered using p-i-n diodes. The diodes are used as switches to control the radiation from two sets of gratings with different periods, thereby switching the main beam angle. Beam steering is achieved at a single fixed frequency; no frequency sweeping is necessary. A microwave prototyp...

Electromagnetic Wave Surface Velocimetry

Electromagnetic wave surface velocimeters ESVs measure the Doppler shift in electromagnetic waves reflected from the water surface. They provide nonintrusive water surface velocity measurements from bridges and river banks. Comparisons with laboratory and field tests show very good agreement over a wide range of elevation and planview angles. Laboratory testing shows comparable results between ...

Radio-Wave Propagation and Electromagnetic Surface Waves.

1. A Discrepancy and Its Resolution.-The problem of the propagation of radio-waves along the surface of the (plane) earth was first treated in a celebrated paper by A. Sommerfeld (1909).1 Let the (r, (p)-plane of a cylindric system of coordinates coincide with the plane of the earth surface and let the z-axis point vertically upward. Sommerfeld considered a vertically oscillating dipole (radio-...
