Abstract

This report explores the potential for reducing the fields and the quality factor within a system cavity by introducing microwave absorbing materials. Although the concept of introducing absorbing (lossy) materials within a cavity to drive the interior field levels down is well known, increasing the loading into a complex weapon cavity specifically for improved electromagnetic performance has not, in general, been considered, and this will be the subject of this work. We compare full-wave simulations to experimental results, demonstrating the applicability of the proposed method.

Perturbation theory to model shielding effectiveness of cavities loaded with electromagnetic dampeners

Journal Article Campione, Salvatore ; Reines, Isak C. ; Warne, L. K. ; ... - Electronics Letters

It is notable that a slotted resonant cavity with high-quality factor exhibits interior electromagnetic (EM) fields that may be even larger than the external field. The authors aspire to reduce the cavity's EM fields and quality factor over a frequency band analytically, numerically, and experimentally by introducing microwave absorbing materials in the cavity. A perturbation model approach was developed to estimate the quality factor of loaded cavities, which is validated against full-wave simulations and experiments. Conclusions with 78.7 mils (2 mm) thick ECCOSORB-MCS absorber placed on the inside cavity wall above and below the aperture slot (with only 0.026% cavitymore »« less

Penetration through Slots in Cylindrical Cavities Operating at Fundamental Cavity Modes in the Presence of Electromagnetic Absorbers

Journal Article Campione, Salvatore ; Warne, Larry Kevin ; Reines, Isak C. ; ... - Progress in Electromagnetics Research M

Placing microwave absorbing materials into a high-quality factor resonant cavity may in general reduce the large interior electromagnetic fields excited under external illumination. In this study, we aim to combine two analytical models we previously developed: 1) an unmatched formulation for frequencies below the slot resonance to model shielding effectiveness versus frequency; and 2) a perturbation model approach to estimate the quality factor of cavities in the presence of absorbers. The resulting model realizes a toolkit with which design guidelines of the absorber's properties and location can be optimized over a frequency band. Analytic predictions of shielding effectiveness for threemore »« less

Realizing thin electromagnetic absorbers for wide incidence angles from commercially available planar circuit materials

Conference Glover, Brian B ; Whites, Kieth W ; Radway, Matthew J

In this study, recent work on engineering R-card surface resistivity with printed metallic patterns is extended to the design of thin electromagnetic absorbers. Thin electromagnetic absorbers for wide incidence angles and both polarizations have recently been computationally verified by Luukkonen et al.. These absorbers are analytically modeled high-impedance surfaces with capacitive arrays of square patches implemented with relatively high dielectric constant and high loss substrate. However, the advantages provided by the accurate analytical model are largely negated by the need to obtain high dielectric constant material with accurately engineered loss.

Wake-field studies on photonic band gap accelerator cavities

Journal Article Li, D ; Kroll, N ; Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, M/S 26, P.O. Box 4349, Stanford, California ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We have studied the wake-field of several metal Photonic Band Gap (PBG) cavities which consist of either a square or a hexagonal array of metal cylinders, bounded on top and bottom by conducting or superconducting sheets, surrounded by placing microwave absorber at the periphery or by replacing outer rows of metal cylinders with lossy dielectric ones, or by metallic walls. A removed cylinder from the center of the array constitutes a site defect where a localized electromagnetic mode can occur. While both monopole and dipole wake-fields have been studied, we confine our attention here mainly to the dipole case. Themore »« less

Electromagnetic simulation of helicon plasma antennas for their electrostatic shield design

Journal Article Stratakos, Yorgos ; Zeniou, Angelos ; Gogolides, Evangelos - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

A detailed electromagnetic parametric analysis of the helicon antenna (half Nagoya type) is shown at 13.56 MHz using a CST Microwave Studio 2012. The antenna is used to excite plasma inside a dielectric cylinder similar to a commercial reactor. Instead of focusing on the plasma state, the authors focus on the penetration and the three dimensional distribution of electric fields through the dielectric wall. Our aim is to reduce capacitive coupling which produces unwanted longitudinal and radial electric fields. Comparison of the helicon antenna electromagnetic performance under diverse boundary conditions shows that one is allowed to use vacuum simulations without plasmamore »« less
