An improved periodic defected ground structure (DGS) is investigated for low-pass filter (LPF) applications. The realization in microstrip configuration consists in making the equivalence between the geometry of a DGS structure and a parallel LC resonator circuit. Initially, one filter is designed using identical DGS, equally spaced. Varying empirically the dimensions of the DGS, we obtain an improvement of frequency responses. In order to verify the performances of the proposed changes in the filter, simulations were done between the uniform periodic DGS circuit and the improved non uniform periodic DGS. The results show that the latter exhibits better stopband performance, with suppressing ripples and enlarging the bandwidth. One modified DGS filter was designed and fabricated. The measurements show good consistency with the simulated results.

This paper presents the experimental results of Rsh/Q0 measurements in klystron cavities using the perturbation technique. The theory involving this technique results in an expression which depends on the natural frequency f0 and the perturbed frequency shift Δf, both measured using a cylindrical reentrant cavity with offset gap built in the laboratory. In addition, it is used a cylindrical cavity (pill-box) to calculate a constant that depends on the geometry of the perturbed object, as well as analytical expressions to calculate an integral factor that relates the square of the voltage on axis and the electric energy originally stored in the small volume of the perturbed object. The values measured of f0, Δf and Rsh/Q0 are, respectively, 2.86 GHz, − 5.27 MHz and 79.8 Ω. They are also compared with the results simulated by a 3D eigensolver obtaining a good agreement.

In this work, we investigate the time to failure and the failure probability of optical fiber submitted to small bent diameter's and high optical powers. The bent diameters under study were 2.9, 3.1 and 3.3mm and the optical powers injected in the bent fiber had the values of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 W. For the bending diameter of 3.1 mm the failure probability presented a Weibull parameter of −0.279±0.021 for the optical power of 1.5 W and −1.38±0.158 for the optical power of 1.0 W. For the injected optical power of 2 W the failure probability presented a Weibull parameter of −0.307±0.025 for a bending diameter of 3.1 mm and −0.617±0.036 for a bending diameter of 3.3 mm.

Intensive development of cellular personal communications system has been observed lately. Thus, protection of a man, and especially protection of his head against non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation generated by cellular telephones is becoming one of the most important problems. The results of elaborated microstrip antennas which have minimized radiation towards the user's head are presented in this paper.

This paper proposes a model and a tool to allow remote and distributed simulation of optical networks using XML. We define how the simulation can be parallelized in order to be quickly processed. We use remote access in order to perform the simulations in multiple processors simultaneously by sending the network and the simulation description coded in XML to the available remote computers. The sequential and distributed simulations modes were compared in two different situations in order to show that we can successfully perform parallel processing in the simulation of optical networks. We achieved a speedup of 7 in a remote simulation running in two Quadcore processors when compared to the previous version of our simulator, which runs in a single core processor.

This work presents a mono-objective optimization for a Yagi-Uda antenna applying the ellipsoid algorithm. For problems which the objective function is not known, like function that represents the Yagi-Uda antenna behavior, the ellipsoid algorithm has some features that make it more interesting compared to other optimization methods. To obtain antenna electromagnetic characteristics it is used the electric field integral equation (Pocklington integral equation) numerically evaluated by the Method of Moments (MoM). The ellipsoid optimization leads to antenna geometry with superior directivity than those presented in the available literature.

Following the efforts performed in research and development of electromagnetic devices as antennas, optical fibers and microwaves devices we report a careful implementation of the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) in a parallel environment. We use Graphic Processor Units (GPUs) to take advantage of FDTD parallel features and observe the time evolution of the electromagnetic fields in a Single Instruction, Multiple Data parallel implementation. It was observe performance gains up to 30 times when this parallel GPU solution are compared with a serial solution in a modern CPU.

This paper presents some experimental results of unloaded Q-factor, Q0, measurements in klystron cavities using the critical points method. The circuit model and impedance locus involving this method are outlined in order to present the experimental procedure. The values calculated for a typical reentrant S-band klystrons cavity, using a vector network analyzer, were 3394 for the unloaded Q0, 1.2715 for the coupling coefficient and 2.85818GHz for the load resonant frequency.

In this work we numerically investigated an all-optical 2R (reamplification and reshaping) regenerator based on four-wave mixing and implemented with two stages of highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber. The two-stage setup, aside from providing an almost ideal transfer function, allows for the regenerated signal to maintain its original wavelength (wavelength shift-free). We tested the device operation by applying to its input an optical signal affected by accumulative amplified spontaneous emission noise from a cascade of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. To assess the regenerator performance, we calculated and compared the Q-factor and extinction rate of the input signal with the corresponding values for the output signal. Our results show, due to the action of the proposed two-stage wavelength shift-free regenerator, the input signal Q-factor improves by up to 70% and its extinction ratio by up to 3 dB whilst maintaining the input signal carrier frequency.
