Summary form only given. Within the limits of the quasi-TEM (transverse electromagnetic) approximation, the validity of a simple dispersive model for the electrical analysis of interconnections with perforated reference planes was examined. The advantage of this model is that simple 2-D transmission-line parameter extraction programs are mainly utilized and, combined with an appropriate electromagnetic analysis of the periodic interconnect geometry, lead to a computationally efficient prediction of the transmission line characteristics of the interconnections. The proposed model was extended to the electrical characterization of coupled interconnects, as well as interconnects located on either side of a perforated plane. Comparisons with experimental results and results obtained using rigorous full-wave techniques were used to demonstrate the validity of the proposed model.<>

A loading technique that combines both resistive and inductive tapered loadings to improve the efficiency of the monopole and yet maintain uniform nonresonant impedance characteristics which makes a good impedance match possible, is introduced. In order to increase the radiating power and thus the efficiency of the resistively tapered monopole, tapered inductive loading is employed primarily to counteract the high capacitive reactance at the lower end of the frequency band and thus increase the radiating power of the antenna. Several profiles for the inductive loading were tested and were found to give, depending on the load, an improvement in the radiation power of the antenna. However, only one among the different loading profiles used was able to increase the efficiency and yet maintain very favorable broadband matching characteristics.<>

A dual-shaped dual-reflector synthesis technique is applied to the design of a reflector antenna system for transforming the output of a whispering-gallery-mode gyrotron to a focused Gaussian free-space beam. Numerical and measured results of the synthesis are presented. The synthesis routine developed yields excellent results when analyzed using ray tracing. Diffraction calculations indicate that undesired output field structure can be nearly eliminated by modifying the radiation pattern of the primary radiator.<>

The admittance matrix of a reentrant folded dipole is derived, its equivalent circuit is evaluated, and a mathematical model is presented. These results, when combined with mutual coupling theory and an iterative network computation can lead to the evaluation of all element excitation coefficients. This, then, allows far-field radiation pattern predictions of a log-periodic folded dipole backfire array and permits tolerance analysis and optimization of antenna dimensions for best gain and sidelobes.<>

In an effort to develop an antenna-mixer array based on the existing technology, various antenna probes inside pyramidal horns have been examined on scaled model-horns at microwave frequencies. Modeling results and design principles of these antenna probes are presented, which include the resonant impedance, the operating frequency, and the bandwidth of the horn antennas. These measurement results provide a guideline for designing probes for millimeter/submillimeter-wave integrated-circuit horn-antenna-mixer arrays. All the impedance measurements indicate that the presence of the horn increases the effective length of the probe element. They also indicate that the resonant frequencies can be controlled by changing the length of the probes or loading the probes, and that resonant resistances can be increased to a reasonable matching range by folding the probes. The fan-probe design indicates that the bandwidth can be increased by changing the probe width.<>

A novel ABC has been proposed, based on anechoic chamber absorber foam geometry, with specified complex permittivity and permeability. The advantage of this absorbing boundary, based on carbon-loaded anechoic chamber absorber foam pyramids, is that it prevents reflections from much wider incident angles than currently used techniques. Preliminary FDTD (finite-difference time-domain) results on this ABC are presented. A two-dimensional FDTD simulation of an equilateral triangle saw-tooth absorbing layer, with a modulated Gaussian pulse plane wave, is shown.<>

A rigorous formulation is carried out for a superconducting microstrip line with an arbitrary strip thickness. The superconducting strip is modeled by an equivalent impedance sheet in the formulation. The surface impedance of the sheet is obtained in a general closed form which is a function of the strip parameters. The transmission characteristics of superconducting microstrip lines are calculated using the derived formula and presented for comparison. Numerical results for the phase and attenuation constants of microstrip lines are computed using the two-fluid model for the sake of comparison with other methods. It is concluded that the approach presented here can accurately predict the characteristics of normal conducting and superconducting microstrip lines as well as other planar transmission lines with finite strip thickness.<>

A method is presented for computing far-field antenna patterns from near-field measurements. The method utilizes near-field data to determine equivalent magnetic current sources over a fictitious planar surface which encompasses the antenna, and these currents are used to ascertain the farfields. An electric field integral equation is developed to relate the near fields to the equivalent magnetic currents. A method of moments procedure is used to transform the integral equation into a matrix one. The matrix equation is solved with the conjugate gradient method (CGM), and, in the case of a rectangular matrix, a least-squares solution for the currents is found without explicitly computing the normal form of the equation. Near-field to far-field transformation for planar scanning may be efficiently performed under certain conditions by exploiting the block Toeplitz structure of the matrix and using CGM and the fast Fourier-transform (CGFFT), thereby drastically reducing computation and storage requirements. Numerical results are presented by extrapolating the far fields using experimental near-field data.<>
