The characteristics of dielectric backed planar conducting layers of arbitrarily shaped in a rectangular waveguide are calculated by means of coupled integral equation technique (CIET) which accurately takes higher order mode interactions. Equivalent structures for the accurate analysis whole structure are introduced in which magnetic surface currents are identified as the unknowns at the apert...

Abstract In this paper, we conduct research of the waveguide strength under icing. Icing is assumed to be uniform along perimeter and length waveguide, so ice deposits considered in form an equivalent increase density structure. As a result, icing problem reduced gravitational bending waveguide. Waveguide has thin-walled rectangular cross-section; therefore, solution demand using theory plate. ...

A novel dual-band filter based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is presented in this paper. The proposed filter is composed of two filters with different center frequencies and bandwidths, where they share input and output ports with source-load coupling using rectangular SIW cavity structure. Multi-transmission zeros have been obtained through electrical coupling between the source and ...

We present an analysis of the reading capability of a novel optical pickup consisting of a single-mode and a multi-mode rectangular waveguide. According to the simulations, if one has prior information about the structure of the disk, superresolution readout could be achieved. The proposed system has the advantage to be compact and should be straightforward to be extended to arrays. The working...

We study propagation of light beams in two-dimensional photonic lattices created by periodically curved waveguide arrays. We demonstrate that by designing the waveguide bending, one can control not only the strength and sign of the beam diffraction, but also to engineer the effective geometry and even dimensionality of the two-dimensional photonic lattice. We reveal that diffraction of differen...

We present experimental and theoretical studies on terahertz surface plasmon (TSP) propagation on slit and rectangular aperture arrays in an aluminum sheet. Terahertz waves are coupled onto the plasmonic structures via a parallel plate waveguide. Long-lasting oscillations are observed in the temporal pulse shape after propagating through the periodic structure, whose Fourier transformation into...

We report on the experimental characterization, in the telecom C-band, of group-velocity dispersion (D) in 100-nm high rectangular strip waveguides realized by silicon-on-insulator technology. We compare the experimental results with numerical predictions, showing that 100-nm high waveguides exhibit normal dispersion and that the absolute value of the dispersion coefficient D decreases as the w...

In this paper we present a spatial power combining architecture consisting of several interacting printed antenna arrays placed at dielectric interfaces in multilayered waveguide. Narrowband resonant patch and slot antennas used in earlier designs are replaced by tapered meander line antennas and their modifications, in order to increase the frequency bandwidth and efficiency of the system and ...
