Analysis of waveguide inserted by a metallic sheet of arbitrary shape with the method of lines

In this paper, one type of waveguide three-dimension discontinuity, rectangular waveguide inserted by a metallic sheet of arbitray shape with zero thickness, is firstly analysed by using the Method of Lines. This waveguide discontinuity can be regarded as basic unit of microwave and MMW passive components and active circuits. Numerical results are in good agreement with physical meanings and other published data. Numerical results of several characteristics are presented at the end of the paper, including convergent characteristic of which the scattering parameters are depended on the number of discretization lines, dependence of scattering parameters on the size of metallic sheet and frequency response of scattering parameters.

Scattering parameters of a waveguide cross junction loaded with a metallic post in the center

In this paper, the scattering parameters of a waveguide cross junction loaded with a metallic post in the center are analyzed for the first time by using the Method of Lines. The homogeneous boundary condition of the third kind and curved boundary are introduced in the formulation. Numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The scattering parameters at Ka-band and W-band of the cross junctions loaded with metallic posts of different radii are presented. It is shown from the numerical results that loaded with metallic posts is an effective means for adjusting the network parameters of the waveguide cross junction to satisfy some special requirements in the design of millimeter wave components.

Electromagnetic modeling and transient simulation of interconnects in high speed VLSI

A new technique is implemented in the method of lines to calculate the static parameters of a multilayered multiconductor system. Every dielectric layer is equivalent to a transmission line and every interface with conductors is equivalent to a current source, thus the whole structure is equivalent to a series of cascading two port networks. A bilevel waveform relaxation method is then used to compute the transient response of such a system terminated in arbitrary loads. All these are integrated into a software specially for the interconnect problems and one of its typical applications is presented.

Full wave analysis of conductor-backed and multi-layer high-Tc superconducting coplanar waveguide

Dispersions, attenuation and characteristic impedance of shielded conductor-backed coplanar waveguide(CBCPW) and shielded three-layer coplanar waveguide (CPW) with finite conductor thickness as well as their superconducting applications are calculated. The method of lines(MoL) is employed to analyze these coplanar waveguides. The analysis is validated by a comparison of the calculated results with those published previously. Effects of finite width of grounded strip for a CPW are considered. Extensive investigation of the numerical convergence for calculation of the characteristic impedance is also described.

Scattering by an E plane dielectric sheet in rectangular waveguide

A method for the computation of S-parameters associated with a rectangular waveguide with a rectangular dielectric obstacle is presented. The method uses the Method of Lines and discretization of the dielectric permittivity to treat the dielectric discontinuity along the discretization direction. In this way, the Method of Lines can be applied to analyze waveguide discontinuity with dielectric inhomogenousity along the discretization direction. The numerical results have been verified by both theoretical and experimental results.

In this paper, the new technique of harmonic power combination—millimeter -wave quasi-optical harmonic power combination is presented. In this technique, by compounding several closed resonators with a quasi-optical open resonator, the harmonic powers of active devices are combined, which takes effectively respective advantages of closed cavity power combination and open cavity power combination and improve the combination efficiency of multiple-device harmonic power combiner. The experimental results for W-band are given and shown this combination method is available.

Extended application of the complex source-point theory

In this paper, the complex source-point theory used for a symmetric concave spherical resonator is extended to an asymmetric concave spherical resonator. Thus, the formulae for the field distribution of the asymmetric spherical resonator can be easily deduced from the formulae for the field distribution of the symmetric resonator, thereby the application range of the complex source-point theory is enlarged and a convenient method is provided for the field analysis of an arbitrary spherical resonator.
