The use of both Pierce and shaping electrodes is necessary in order to produce thin intense beams. A theoretical study is made to find the beam envelope equation and the factors affecting the radius at the beam waist and its distance from the gun exit in a field free space region. The variations of the beam current, the beam perveance, the beam profile and transverse beam emittance with the extracting voltage are studied. The increase of the anode voltage is found to decrease beam perveance, beam waist and beam emittance. The position and radius of the beam waist is found to depend on the beam perveance and beam slope at the gun exit aperture. In order to produce beams with minimum beam emittance and beam waist would necessitate working with higher extracting voltage.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The pre-RAKE system is also attracting attention for wireless portable communication in time division duplex applications due to achieving the same multipath diversity of the RAKE receiver but using an ordinary matched filter receiver at the portable unit. In this paper, we study the pre-RAKE system with DPSK modulation for multi-user communications in a Rayleigh fading channel. The system performance is analyzed in a generalized Rayleigh fading multipath channel. Two diversity-combining techniques, namely, maximal ratio combing (MRC), equal gain combing (EGG) and zero forcing equalization (ZFE) are considered Both diversity types are supplemented by selection diversity for the strongest paths in gain. We also consider the effect of imperfect channel estimation on the system performance and compare the results with the case of coherent QPSK pre-RAKE system.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

Starting from the two-fluid plasma model we separate the problem into two parts. The \"temporal\" (dynamical) part enables us to find the frequencies and growth rates of unstable waves. This part within the redefinition of natural (eigen) frequencies coincides with the system describing HF suppression of the Buneman instability in a uniform unbounded plasma. Natural frequencies of oscillations and spatial distribution of the amplitude of the self-consistent electrical field are obtained by solving a boundary-value problem (\"spatial\" part) considering a specific spatial distribution of plasma density. It is shown that, independent of the geometry of the problem, the conclusion that HF stabilization of Buneman instability in plasma waveguides remains valid. The influence of the HF electric field on the instability of a low-density electron beam passing through a plasma waveguide is reported. It is found that the HF field has no essential effect on the frequencies and growth rates of unstable surface waves which are excited by the beam in the plasma waveguides. The region of instability only slightly narrows and the growth rate decreases by a small factor.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The paper presents the analysis using an analytic approach and the simulation of a simple system from which the concluded remarks are applicable to a more general guidance system. The paper shows the effects of the sampling period, the compensator time constants and the guidance gain upon the system performance. The contribution of the paper stems from the easy presentation of a simple classic controller and shows its effect upon the system performance either analytically or through system simulation.

The total amount of processor idle time increases with the number of processors; due to factors such as contention for shared resources, intercommunication, and software structure. In this paper the inherent parallelism of a software system is investigated. A new definition for the partial average parallelism is introduced. Using this definition two analytical expressions are developed to compute the minimum number of processors executing a parallel software at maximum obtainable speedup, and to compute the minimum time to execute a software in a fixed number of processors. The presented example shows that these two expressions are extensively useful when choosing the optimal schedule algorithm. The exact location of the knee (the point where the benefit per unit cost is maximized) is very important in multiprogramming environment where maximum efficiency is required. An expression for the number of processors at the knee is also deduced. A computer program is given that calculates the minimum number of processors, the minimum time, and the exact location of the knee.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

However, most are neither cost effective nor reliable. They are bulky, heavy and sophisticated. Moreover, they cannot be integrated using MOSFET technology on a single chip. The paper presents a new detector for precise detection of microwave signals. The new detector is composed of a short channel MOSFET (L/spl sim/2 /spl mu/m), acting as a hot carrier injector, surrounded by four diffused collectors, which are topologically, arranged so as to detect the magnitude of the magnetic field to be measured or monitored and determine its orientation. A current cross-coupling technique is used to compensate for the sensor leakage currents (60 dB smaller). A negative feedback is introduced to improve the detector linearity (better than 2%) and stability. Magnetic field as small as 10 nT has been measured over a wide dynamic range (/spl sim/120 dB) of measurement.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.
