Helicon waves are electromagnetic waves which propagate in magnetized plasma. An approach for helicon plasma source improvement consists in optimizing helicon wave excitation by means of specific antenna designs. The antenna is composed of N1 identical meander line antenna legs equally distributed on a cylinder of radius Rc. We consider an $mathrm{N}_{1}=4$ design. Due to the RF antenna leg parasitic effect we get each leg’s current with delay $tau_{k}$ (k is a leg number index, $mathrm{k}=1,ldots,4$). For simplicity, we assume all time delays are equal, $tau_{k}=tau$ for $k = 1$, 2, 3, 4. We present a practical guide which combines graphical information with theoretical analysis to effectively study the local stability of models involving delay dependent parameters. The stability of a given steady state is determined by the graphs of some function of $tau$.","PeriodicalId":276613,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Microwaves, Antennas, Communications and Electronic Systems (COMCAS)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125551044","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}

Widely used approaches include mechanical scanning with antenna apertures and phase switching in arrays. Both of those solutions have severe limitations, related to scanning speeds and implementation costs. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate a possible paradigm solution, where the antenna pattern switching is achieved with optical signals. Our architecture employs high quality ceramic-based driven element and optically switchable reflectors. The latter elements are realized with a set of split ring resonators, loaded with a tandem of varactors and photodiodes. Resonant frequency of each reflector is controlled with an incident light illumination. Fast switching between optically driven reflectors allows achieving scanning between several directions, which cover the entire 2π azimuth section. The current architecture can link to a new paradigm shift, where extremely fast optical switching can allow performing high quality scans over the whole three-dimensional space, which is highly demanded in a broad range of modern applications.","PeriodicalId":276613,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Microwaves, Antennas, Communications and Electronic Systems (COMCAS)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116353463","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}
