Recent advances in the drilling technologies have allowed real-time proactive geosteering of the drilling direction to steer to a precise target zone. Electromagnetic modeling of LWD sensors in complex geometries is a challenging task to conventional computational electromagnetics (CEM). In particular, several complications arise due the non-conformal boundaries present in this problem. In this paper we present a pseudoanalytical formulation to handle the electromagnetic wave propagation inside radially-stratified and axially-toroidal structures that could be used as an efficient CEM method for modeling LWD tools inside directional boreholes. Preliminary results demonstrate that our method can accurately analyze LWD sensors in typical directional wells.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115404658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the transmission frequency band from 130 GHz to 150 GHz the estimated in-band gain variation is 0.5 dBi which guarantees gain uniformity. The antenna with optimized dimension is implemented for a transition between elevated coplanar waveguide (ECPW) and rectangular waveguide. The chip-to-waveguide transition in back-to-back configuration exhibits a simulated return loss of 10 dB and insertion loss of 3 dB from 128 GHz to 153 GHz. For higher directivity, a horn antenna is used together with the chip-to-waveguide transition forming an extended packaging structure that is suitable for the transceiver (Tx and Rx) chips. The simulated gain of the extended packaging structure is 11.9 dBi with 23% bandwidth at 140 GHz and the in-band gain variation is 2 dBi.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128093436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiments with these lines have demonstrated their successful operation at L and S bands, thereby enabling them for applications in UWB pulsed radars in space vehicles and defense systems. There is also a great interest in compact solid-state high-power microwave sources for applications in small defense platforms (boats, trucks, etc.) to destroy the enemy electronic systems. Although the operation of these devices has been demonstrated exhaustively in recent years, their working principle is not quite well understood so far as it has been expected that the precession of the magnetic dipoles in the ferrite material given by the Larmor frequency, which predicts a proportional increase with the magnetic field bias. However, as observed experimentally the opposite occurs and the frequency decreases with the increasing of the magnetic field applied. Thus, the objective of this paper is to address this problem using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation with boundary conditions on the TEM mode propagation in the coaxial line. The formulation obtained for the precession frequency will be used to compare with experimental data found in the literature.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115870091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
