Three-dimensional information of the burden surface in high temperature and excessive dust industrial conditions has been previously hard to obtain. This paper presents a novel microstrip-fed dielectric-filled waveguide antenna element which is resistant to dust and high temperatures. A novel microstrip-to-dielectric-loaded waveguide transition was developed. A cylinder and cuboid composite str...

In this paper we proposed the estimation of the characteristic impedance, effect of dispersion, and the effective dielectric constant of Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) using conformal mapping theory and performances are analyzed. Numerically efficient and accurate formulae based on the conformal mapping method for the analysis of coplanar waveguide structures are presented. The analysis formulas for ...

An electromagnetic truncated Gaussian pulse propagates through a waveguide with piecewise diierent dielectric constants. The waveguide contains a barrier, namely a region of a lower dielectric constant compared to the neighboring regions. This setup yields a purely imaginary wave vector in the region of the barrier ('electromagnetic tunneling'). We exactly calculate the time-dependent Green's f...

A moment method using a multifilament-current model is presented to analyze the modes propagating in a cylindrical dielectric waveguide. In this model, analytically derivable fields of filamentary electric and magnetic currents (of yet unknown propagation constant and amplitude) are used to simulate the field of each mode inside and outside the guiding core. A simple point-matching procedure is...

The techniques that are presently available for the measurement of complex permittivities of dielectric substrates are only applicable to single layer substrates. This paper presents a new technique which uses the Finite Element Method (FEM) to estimate the complex permittivities of individual layers from the measurement of the S-parameters of a rectangular waveguide holding a multilayer dielec...

A two-dimensional symmetric hybrid plasmonic waveguide that integrates two high-refractive-index dielectric slabs with a finite-width insulator-metal-insulator (IMI) structure is proposed, and the characteristics of its long-range propagation mode are numerically analyzed at 1550 nm wavelength. In contrast to the previously studied structures, the gap between the slabs and the metal stripe and ...

We show that metallic wires embedded in narrow waveguide bends and channels demonstrate resonance behavior at specific frequencies. The electromagnetic energy at these resonances tunnels through the narrow waveguide channels with almost no propagation losses. Under the tunneling behavior, high-intensity electromagnetic fields are produced in the vicinity of the metallic wires. These intense fie...

This paper presents a simple but effective method for the analysis of open-ended waveguides. The method begins with the introduction of a large waveguide to approximate the half-space. In order to avoid the convergence problem lossy dielectric is assumed to homogeneously fill the large waveguide. After obtaining a number of convergent data for different values of the loss tangent an extrapolati...

A post-wall waveguide-fed parallel-plate slot array antenna [1–3] has been proposed as a highgain, high-efficiency and mass producible planar antenna in millimeter-wave applications. The authors are developing post-wall waveguide slot arrays using a copper-clad dielectric substrate which reduces the cost of waveguides structures by printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication technique. The transmis...

Dielectric-graphene-dielectric (DGD) structure has been widely used to construct optical devices at infrared region with features of small footprint and low-energy dissipation. The optical properties of graphene can be manipulated by changing its chemical potential by applying a biased voltage onto graphene. However, the excitation efficiency of surface wave on graphene by end-fire method is ve...
