Two square TEM transmission cells with side heights 30 cm and 50 cm were designed for the calibration of RF-hazard monitors. The error due to reflections was reduced from ±10 % to ±2 % (input VSWR < 1.2) by lengthening straight sections and measuring the longitudinal E-field patterns at calibration frequencies. Comparison measurements with small probes showed that the maximum difference between the cells was 7 % except some sharp resonance points caused by TEM harmonics and TE01 mode. The vertical field non-uniformity was also examined.

A novel E-plane transistor mount for use up to the mm-wave range is presented. The quasiplanar waveguide structure developed is made on thin, low dielectric substrate inserted in the E-plane of a rectangular wavequide and incorporates a microstrip, and a slotted, inhomogeneous finline partially coated with a dissipative layer. Featuring excellent reproduciblity, low insertion and hiqh return loss in the waveguide band and appropriate broadband match below waveguide cutoff this design is shown to be well suited for precision measurement and amplifier applications. Performance data. of a realized X-band structure are reported.

A high capacity communication link is described, which uses a slotted-waveguide as a transmission medium. The slotted-waveguide is a rectangular waveguide with a framed slot in its broadwall. The coupling structure, mounted to the moving Maglev vehicle, is plunging through this slot into the waveguiding region. The paper describes those elements which from the system-und component-designer's point of view are in particular inherent to the slotted-waveguide technology. Neglegible electromagnetic interference and high communication capacity makes the slotted waveguide attractive for mobile applications where sufficient track-holding is provided.

The feasibility of using phased arrays for focused microwave hyperthermia is examined. A prototype system consisting of a semi-elliptic array of six 2.45GHz dipole antennas surrounding a homogeneous cylindrical body with the dielectric properties of the human lungs, and a linear array of five elements parallel to the axis of the body has been used to verify computational simulations of the same configuration. Microwave field intensities measured within the phantom indicate good agreement with theoretical predictions. A computer simulation for a different configuration is presented in order to show the inherent flexibility of the phased array applicator system. The results confirm the possibility of using phased arrays for induced localised hyperthermia for deep-seated tumour destruction provided that temperature monitoring is available.

Thick film InSb loaded slot lines on dielectric substrate have been used to generate non-reciprocity in anisotropic media for millimeter waves propagating perpendicular to the direction of a D. C. magnetic field in order to increase the non-reciprocity effect, the concept of surface admittance may be used to obtain greater energy concentration and stronger wave fields adjacent to the dielectric substrate. This paper contains the results of theorical calculus and experiment performed to verify the effect of surface admittance in the form of distributed microcapacitance on dielectric substrate within the slot. It is shown that the interaction between the D. C. magnetic field and the strong E field currents inside InSb, results in a much larger ratios of attenuation constants than those obtained in the absence of distributed capacitance. Also a performant simplification of the spectral analysis method is verified. In this case isolation factors of the order of 22 db for, insertion loss, less than 1 db, agress with theoritical expections to a great extent.

A new method for dimensioning a multiple layer Frequency Selective Surface (F.S.S.) based on an appropriate electromagnetic model will be examined. Feasibility and performance I imitations of F.S.S. having a single grid of Jerusalem crosses packed with several dielectric slabs will be analyzed. The technique of waveguide simulators is proposed as an attractive alternative to the radiation measurement technique. Experimental and theoretical results, in the frequency range of 8÷18Qk, are discussed in order to point out: the val idity of the measurement technique and the accuracy of the electromagnetic model.
