A linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) radar is introduced to localize the impedance discontinuities on the instrument cable used in nuclear plants. The LFMCW reflectometry uses a phenomenon that electromagnetic pulses are reflected at the impedance discontinuities to localize impedance discontinuity points on the cable. For localizing impedance discontinuities, time delays betwee...

the paper describes an investigation about the application of the new multiple-impedance discontinuities model for optimizing profile diffuser barriers. the new multiple-impedance discontinuities model is much faster than the numerical method, thus it is used in an optimization process. the a-weighted insertion loss was used for the traffic noise spectrum. the result of optimization, which is d...

A new canonical scattering problem consisting of the propagation of the dominant TEM mode at the finite-length impedance discontinuity in the outer conductor of a coaxial waveguide is solved. The contributions from the successive impedance discontinuities are accounted for through the solution of a modified Wiener-Hopf equation. Some graphical results displaying the reflection and transmission ...

A general theory of the beam interaction with small discontinuities of the vacuum chamber is developed taking into account the reaction of radiated waves back on the discontinuity. The reactive impedance calculated earlier is reproduced as the first order, and the resistive one as the second order of a perturbation theory based on this general approach. The theory also gives, in a very natural ...

Abstract High-speed and high-frequency PCB interconnect solutions with the slightest discontinuities in physical geometry along microstrip transmission line can significantly degrade integrity of signal being transferred. This paper presents an analysis SMT component pads their impact on successive impedance. During 0805, 1206 2512 package size pad discontinuity evaluations it was spotted, that...

This paper presents the electromagnetic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of a novel chip-to-chip interconnect for use in System-in-Package (SiP) applications. An on-chip coplanar transmission line is transitioned to an off-chip coaxial cable using an etched trench on Silicon. This approach to die-to-die signaling has inherent advantages over traditional wire bonding that include matched impedance,...

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique has been used to model the one-dimensional (1-D) surface impedance of a lossy earth plane having discontinuities in two and three dimensions. Using a horizontal magnetic field aperture source located five cells from an absorbing boundary and 35 cells above the lossy earth plane, the surface impedance was accurately modeled at a distance of 0=50...

This paper presents an EM analysis of dispersions & discontinuities in a microstrip transmission lines. Dispersion characteristics of a microstrip lines are investigated by the existing models for study of microstrip lines and then compare the results with Software Simulation. Dispersions on microstrip lines with characteristics impedance 50Ω are investigated for the frequency range 1 to 18 GHz...

Accurate power line channel models are an essential asset for the development of advanced power line communication systems. A physically based power line communication channel model is derived. Elements within a power line network, e.g. line discontinuities, branches, and loads, are modelled as IIR-filters. The transfer function of the overall channel is calculated by concatenating the transfer...
