It is concluded that the anisotropic half space and TIBC models can predict, with good accuracy, the reflections at a much reduced cost for unit cell dimensions <0.1 lambda . In the honeycomb example, each angle of incidence requires approximately 30 s for computation on a Cray 2 while only a few seconds was needed on a PC for both approximate models for all angles of incidence. These models are not intended to supersede more exact numerical solutions but rather to complement the analysis in cases when quick, approximate solutions are acceptable or when optimization studies are undertaken to maximize certain electromagnetic characteristics.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127563783","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}

The obtained calibrated scattering matrix is defined at two planar interfaces directly coincident with the front and back surfaces of the metal plate surrounding the slot. This measurement method determines different scattering matrices for the same slot, depending on the type of waveguide and the specific waveguide mode used to feed it. An example of a calibrated transmission response of a single slot, excited by the fundamental TE/sub 11/ mode of the cylindrical cavity used to feed it on either side, is presented. The slot resonance appears to be very wide and there is hardly any transmission-phase lag at its center.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130826399","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}

It is demonstrated that the current polarization specification used in the INTELSAT system can be met satisfactorily by MSF-radome-covered earth stations with conventional antennas. Typical radome co-polar and cross-polar scattering patterns are simulated and shown. It can be seen that the copolar-scattered fields, outside the main beam, have negligible effect on the copolar antenna pattern. Further, it is shown that the scattered cross-polar fields within the antenna tracking beamwidths are less than -40 dB down from the co-polar antenna pattern peak. The current INTELSAT V and VII specification is 30.7 dB for the cross-polarization purity level and hence adequate performance from the system enclosed with a radome is achieved.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132853987","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}

The analog portion of the system uses FM techniques to provide one channel of high quality voice. The digital portion uses A-QPSK (quadrature phase-shift keying)/A-BPSK (binary phase shift keying) modulation schemes with appropriate forward error correction to provide toll quality multichannel voice capability to the aircraft.

The characterization of the radiating slots has required the development of new design models as well as special testing techniques. The antenna requirements include a large scan sector in azimuth, low sidelobes, high pointing accuracy, and high antenna gain. These requirements demand an accurate design method and a well-controlled manufacturing process. A large antenna was designed, manufactured, and, tested, consisting of 48 waveguides, each fed through 8-bit ferrite phase shifters.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133100598","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}
