Abstract: Transmission-line transformers are circuits useful for microwave impedance matching applications due to their broad operating bandwidth. Multimode feed network is composed of two substructures, which are constituted by the transmission-line transformer. Beginning with the broadband transmission-line transformer with 4:1 impedance transformation, supposing the currents on the two lines...

Transparent polycrystalline spinel ceramic was fabricated without any sintering aids by spark plasma sintering method of a mixture of Al2O3 and MgO powders for only 10min soak at 1250°C. Densification, microstructure and optical transparency of spinel were examined. The spinel exhibits an in-line transmission of 55% for a visible-wavelength of 470nm and high hardness value of 2040 HV.

Nowadays lots of applications in telecommunications require a wide bandwidth to transmit more information and improve the quality on the transmission of this information. In order to guarantee this condition low losses systems are designed; these losses can be classified in dissipation losses and mismatch losses. There are different classic methods for impedance matching, but they reach the imp...

Dual scattering channel schemes extend the transmission line matrix numerical method (Johns’ TLM algorithm) in two directions. For one point, transmission line links are replaced by abstract scattering channels in terms of paired distributions (characteristic impedances are thus neither needed, nor in general defined, e.g.). In the second place, non-trivial cell interface scattering is admitted...

Efficient perturbation schemes are developed to compute the large amplitude, low frequency, galloping vibrations of a multi-span, overhead transmission line. Systematic procedures are formulated to assess the stability of a conductor’s wind and ice loaded static profile by employing a multiple-degree-of-freedom finite element model. The use of the computationally most demanding part of the fini...
