Abstract

A method for the production of extremely wide bandwidth THz radiation comprising: delivering an electron beam from a source to an undulator that does not deflect the angle or transversely move the electron beam; and optimizing the undulator to yield peak emission in the middle of the THz band (1 THz). These objectives are accomplished by magnetically bending the orbit of the incoming electron beam in the undulator according to the function x(z)=x.sub.o exp(-z.sup.2/2.sigma..sup.2) and controlling the transverse magnetic field to be B(z)=B.sub.0(1-z.sup.2/.sigma..sup.2)exp(-z.sup.2/2.sigma..sup.2).

Method for generation of THz frequency radiation and sensing of large amplitude material strain waves in piezoelectric materials

Patent Reed, Evan J [Pine Island, MN]; Armstrong, Michael R [Albuquerque, NM]

Strain waves of THz frequencies can coherently generate radiation when they propagate past an interface between materials with different piezoelectric coefficients. Such radiation is of detectable amplitude and contains sufficient information to determine the time-dependence of the strain wave with unprecedented subpicosecond, nearly atomic time and space resolution.

Ultra-wideband horn antenna with abrupt radiator

Patent McEwan, Thomas E [Livermore, CA]

An ultra-wideband horn antenna transmits and receives impulse waveforms for short-range radars and impulse time-of flight systems. The antenna reduces or eliminates various sources of close-in radar clutter, including pulse dispersion and ringing, sidelobe clutter, and feedline coupling into the antenna. Dispersion is minimized with an abrupt launch point radiator element; sidelobe and feedline coupling are minimized by recessing the radiator into a metallic horn. Low frequency cut-off associated with a horn is extended by configuring the radiator drive impedance to approach a short circuit at low frequencies. A tapered feed plate connects at one end to a feedline, andmore » « less

Method of achieving ultra-wideband true-time-delay beam steering for active electronically scanned arrays

Patent Loui, Hung; Brock, Billy C.

The various embodiments presented herein relate to beam steering an array antenna by modifying intermediate frequency (IF) waveforms prior to conversion to RF signals. For each channel, a direct digital synthesis (DDS) component can be utilized to generate a waveform or modify amplitude, timing and phase of a waveform relative to another waveform, whereby the generation/modification can be performed prior to the IF input port of a mixer on each channel. A local oscillator (LO) signal can be utilized to commonly drive each of the mixers. After conversion at the RF output port of each of the mixers, each RFmore » « less

Method and apparatus for ultrasonic doppler velocimetry using speed of sound and reflection mode pulsed wideband doppler

Patent Shekarriz, Alireza [Kennewick, WA]; Sheen, David M [Richland, WA]

According to the present invention, a method and apparatus rely upon tomographic measurement of the speed of sound and fluid velocity in a pipe. The invention provides a more accurate profile of velocity within flow fields where the speed of sound varies within the cross-section of the pipe. This profile is obtained by reconstruction of the velocity profile from the local speed of sound measurement simultaneously with the flow velocity. The method of the present invention is real-time tomographic ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry utilizing a to plurality of ultrasonic transmission and reflection measurements along two orthogonal sets of parallel acoustic lines-of-sight.more » « less

Instantaneous ultra-wideband sensing using frequency-domain channelization

Patent Loui, Hung; Maio, Brianna

A radar system wherein a radar return is channelized by frequency into a plurality of channels, and each of the channels is sampled by a respective analog-to-digital converter that has a sampling rate less than the Nyquist rate of the radar return. The digitally sampled channel signals are Fourier transformed into the frequency domain, where each of the frequency-domain channel signals is matched-filtered according to a respective partial matched filter. The channel signals are then transformed back to the time domain, whereupon they are added together to generate the impulse response of the radar system responsive to the radar return.
