The e.m. wave propagation in a parallel-plate wave guide withone boundary corrugated and filled with uniaxial warmdrifting plasma has been studied. The dispersion relation and the field expressions for the TM-modes have been derived. The effects of the temperature and the drift velocity on the propagation modes have been studied in detail. The fast and the slow waves are greatly affected by the temperature and the drift velocity, whereas the wave guide wave is insignificantly affected. The effect of the corrugation has also been discussed. The dispersion relation of the TE-modes, in this case, has been derived and found to be same as that of the wave guide filled with free space.
Figure 13(b) shows the improved circuit model and Fig. 14 shows input impedance of the pendulum array prototype, coil and the circuit model plotted across frequency. The peaking of the input impedance indicates a greater portion of the input power is coupled to the pendulum system while the power consumption caused by the Ohmic resonance of coil is relatively reduced. Note that not all the modes were predicted by the circuit model due to the fact the mutual coupling among the pendulum elements are not included in the model demonstrating the superiority and completeness of the full wave model. The estimated Q factor at the in-phase mode is around 62.2 as previously demonstrated using the circuit model. To our knowledge, this is the first time such a high Q factor has been achieved in a mechanical antenna system using magnetic dipoles at ULF, demonstrating the potential of magnetic pendulum arrays for efficient ULF transmission.
Ladder frame structures are used as models for multistorey buildings. These periodic structures exhibit alternating propagating and attenuating frequency bands. Of the six different wave modes of propagation, two modes strongly attenuate at all frequencies. The other four modes have nonoverlapping stop band characteristics. Thus, it is challenging to isolate such structures when subjected to broadband, multimodal base excitation. In this study, we seek to synthesize a periodic ladder frame structure that has attenuation characteristics over the maximal range of frequencies for all the modes of wave propagation. We synthesize a unit cell of the periodic structure, which comprises two distinct regions having different inertial, stiffness, and geometric properties. The eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of the unit cell determines the attenuating or the nonattenuating characteristics of the structure. A novel pictorial presentation in the form of eigenvalue map is developed. This is used to synthesize the optimal unit cell. Also, design guidelines for suitable selection of the design parameters are presented. It is shown that a large finite periodic structure comprising a unit cell synthesized using the present approach has significantly better isolation characteristics in comparison to the homogeneous or any other arbitrarily chosen periodic structure.
Electrostriction in an optical fiber is introduced by the interaction between the forward propagated optical signal and the acoustic standing waves in the radial direction resonating between the center of the core and the cladding circumference of the fiber. The response of electrostriction is dependent on fiber parameters, especially the mode field radius. A novel technique is demonstrated to characterize fiber properties by means of measuring their electrostriction response under intensity modulation. As the spectral envelope of electrostriction-induced propagation loss is anti-symmetrical, the signal-to-noise ratio can be significantly increased by subtracting the measured spectrum from its complex conjugate. It is shown that if the transversal field distribution of the fiber propagation mode is Gaussian, the envelope of the electrostriction-induced loss spectrum closely follows a Maxwellian distribution whose shape can be specified by a single parameter determined by the mode field radius.
