A broad synthetic forward data is generated using the finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method. A simple correlation coefficient based (CCB) measure is introduced to examine the diversity in the measured data from objects of different shapes and dielectric permittivity. This scattered data is further fed directly to a support vector machine (SVM) for binary classification. The classification results are seen to be consistent with what is expected from the CCB analysis. It is observed that the near-field scattering information is much richer and more suitable for accurate machine-based classification as compared to the far-field information in the presence of noise. The proposed scheme is promising in providing valuable insights on improving the measurement set up so that the sensed data becomes amenable for machine learning.","PeriodicalId":338001,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and RF Conference (IMARC)","volume":"3 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131492088","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 design of the input coupler is optimized by numerical simulation using CST to get minimum reflections, maximum transmission with large bandwidth and high mode purity. The CST simulation results predict that the input coupler offers a good transmission (> -0.5 dB) and low reflection (< - 32 dB) at the operating frequency of 92 GHz. Further, a three-disc output window is designed and simulated to seal the vacuum inside the gyro-TWT at the output end. The ceramic material Al2O3 due to its high mechanical strength is used.
