Periodic and Guiding Structures at Microwave Frequencies
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper reviews the properties of periodic and guiding structures which now play an important part in the operation of components, antennas, electron tubes and low-noise amplifiers. An account is first given of dispersive propagation in periodic-loaded lines, showing how the frequency characteristic breaks into pass and stop bands. The formation of forwardand backward-space harmonics and the effect of systematic modidcation of loading are examined. A description is then given of the various types of surfacewave structures including dielectric rods, dielectric-clad metals, and corrugated surfaces, as well as surface wave instruments and circuits. Practical slow-wave structures such as ladder lines, coupled cavities and helices are finally treated. The survey concludes with a bibliography.

Photonic band gaps and localization in two-dimensional metallic quasicrystals
– We report on experimental observation of photonic stop bands in two-dimensional metallic Penrose lattice. We investigated the defect characteristics, and observed strongly localized cavity modes below the plasma frequency. The absence of the translational symmetry allowed to change the defect frequencies and localization properties of the defect modes. Propagation of photons along highly loca...
متن کاملTransmission and Reflection Characteristics of a Concrete Block Wall Illuminated by a TM-polarized Obliquely incident wave
Typically, many of the modern buildings have concrete walls constructed from cinder block walls, that have periodic nature in their relative dielectric constant. This periodic nature excites higher-order Floquet harmonic modes at microwave frequencies, which leads to the propagation of scattered waves along with non-specular directions. Periodic structures exhibit different behaviors when illum...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Waves Propagation Characteristics in Superconducting Photonic Crystals
Photonic crystals (PCs) are structures with periodically modulated dielectric constants whose distribution follows a periodicity of the order of a fraction of the optical wavelength. Since the first pioneering work in this field, many new interesting ideas have been developed dealing with one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and threedimensional (3D) PCs. Researchers have proposed many n...

During the past decade we have demonstrated that coupled nonlinear systems (oscillator arrays) can offer simple methods for phase control in microwave antenna arrays, and hence provides alternatives to conventional electronic beam scanning capability. Numerous experiments have been carried out at microwave frequencies to verify the analysis, and the experimental work proved valuable in guiding ...

In recent years, there has been tremendous progress in the miniaturization of optical devices. Planar waveguides and photonic crystals are currently key technologies enabling a revolution in integrated optical components. The size and density of optical devices employing these technologies is nonetheless limited by the diffraction limit of light, which imposes a lower size limit on the guided l...
