Efficient and accurate computation of Green's function for the Poisson equation in rectangular waveguides
2009
[1] In this paper, a new algorithm for the fast and precise computation of Green's function for the 2-D Poisson equation in rectangular waveguides is presented. For this purpose, Green's function is written in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions involving complex arguments. A new algorithm for the fast and accurate evaluation of such Green's function is detailed. The main benefit of this algorithm is successfully shown within the frame of the Boundary Integral Resonant Mode Expansion method, where a substantial reduction of the computational effort related to the evaluation of the cited Green's function is obtained.
Accurate consideration of metal losses at waveguide junctions using admittance and impedance integral equation formulations
2005
[1] At higher frequencies, metal loss effects in passive waveguide components become more pronounced and hazardous. In this paper, we propose two integral equation techniques, based on the generalized admittance and impedance matrices, for the accurate consideration of losses in the metal walls of waveguide junctions. Both techniques have been evaluated in terms of accuracy and numerical efficiency, and conclusions are drawn regarding the best properties of the admittance parameter formulation. Finally, combining such technique with a classical perturbative method for considering propagation losses, we have successfully predicted all loss effects in two real waveguide filters used for comme…
Efficient and Accurate Consideration of Ohmic Losses in Waveguide Diplexers and Multiplexers
2006
The accurate consideration of all ohmic losses effects in waveguide manifold diplexers and multiplexers is rigorously studied in this paper. For such purposes, a full-wave CAD tool based exclusively on modal methods is originally proposed. Proceeding in this very efficient way, losses are precisely considered in all common components of such complex devices, i.e. planar junctions, uniform lines and multi-port circuits implemented in waveguide technology. For verification purposes, we have successfully compared our results for a magic-T junction and a manifold diplexer with experimental and numerical results.
On the Rigorous Calculation of All Ohmic Losses in Rectangular Waveguide Multi-Port Junctions
2005
In this paper, all ohmic losses effects present in rectangular waveguide multi-port junctions are rigorous and efficiently computed. For this purpose, a new formulation based on the theory of cavities, which provides generalized admittance matrix representations for such junctions, is proposed. To validate this theory, we have successfully compared our results with numerical data of a lossy E-plane T-junction and of a hollow waveguide, as well as with experimental measurements of a real H-plane T-junction.
CAD of complex passive devices composed of arbitrarily shaped waveguides using Nyström and BI-RME methods
2004
In this paper, a novel computer-aided design (CAD) tool of complex passive microwave devices in waveguide technology is proposed. Such a tool is based on a very efficient integral-equation analysis technique that provides a full-wave characterization of discontinuities between arbitrarily shaped waveguides defined by linear, circular, and/or elliptical arcs. For solving the modal analysis of such arbitrary waveguides, a modified version of the well-known boundary integral-resonant-mode expansion (BI-RME) method using the Nyström approach, instead of the traditional Galerkin version of the method of moments, is proposed, thus providing significant savings on computational costs and implement…
Analysis of the electromagnetic radiation generated by a multipactor discharge occurring within a microwave passive component
2010
International audience; Multipactoring is a non-linear phenomenon that appears in highpower microwave equipments operating under vacuum conditions and causes several undesirable effects. In this manuscript, a theoretical and experimental study of the RF spectrum radiated by a multipactor discharge, occurring within a realistic microwave component based on rectangular waveguides, is reported. The electromagnetic coupling of a multipactor current to the fundamental propagative mode of a uniform waveguide has been analyzed in the context of the microwave network theory. The discharge produced under a single-carrier RF voltage regime has been approached as a shunt current source exciting such a…
Multipactor Effect Characterization of Dielectric Materials for Space Applications
2018
[EN] The objective of this paper is to advance the state of the art in the characterization of the multipactor effect in dielectric materials. The materials studied are the most commonly used dielectrics in space applications, namely, Alumina, Rexolite, Rogers RT5870, Rohacell, Teflon, and Ultem 1000. In this paper, a new family of coaxial waveguide components, covering the L- and S-bands, with a wideband, low-pass response has been designed, and six different prototypes have been specifically optimized and manufactured. The six prototypes have then been used to simulate and measure the multipactor breakdown susceptibility charts for the six dielectric materials investigated. Finally, the s…
