Calculations for impedance and effective dielectric constant are presented for CPWs with finite substrate thickness. Analytical formulations are presented for calculations. Network analytical methods of electromagnetic fields are employed to evaluate the effect of thick metal coating on CPW. Dispersion characteristics of CPW have been plotted for various metallization thicknesses. Effect of thick metal coating on attenuation is also plotted. Increase in metallization thickness of CPW causes an increase in wavelength; due to this fact characteristic impedance and effective dielectric constant decreases.","PeriodicalId":23431,"journal":{"name":"Twenty Seventh International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86378959","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}

Selective excitation of these modes is an extremely difficult problem. Therefore a proper choice of the start-up scenario, which provides initial excitation of a desired mode and its drive into a high efficiency regime with simultaneous suppression of all undesirable parasitic modes, is very important. This problem was first formulated and studied some time ago (G.S. Nusinovich, Elektronnaya Tekhnika, ser. 1, Elektronika SV Ch, no. 3, pp. 44-49, 1974). Later, important contributions that clarified some issues in this problem were made by E. Borie and B.J. Dicke (Int. J. Infrared Millimeter Waves, vol. 8, pp. 207-226, 1987) and D.R. Whaley et al (IEEE-PS vol. 22, pp. 850-860, 1994). This paper discusses several issues which are important for the orrect understanding of this problem, along with the results of simulations used for analyzing the start-up scenarios in 1 MW, 110 GHz and 140 GHz gyrotrons.","PeriodicalId":23431,"journal":{"name":"Twenty Seventh International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78697648","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}
