The multilayer structure is analysed into two configurations; in the first the optical axis is perpendicular to the electrode plane, in the second is parallel. In both cases the effects on the coupling coefficient of the loading film refractive index and thickness and of the coplanar electrode spacing are described. The mapping of the modulating electric field components has been carried out by a finite element computer program by accounting the anisotropy and inhomogeneity of the structure. This exact evaluation of the r.f. field, along with the larger optical energy confinement at the surface due to the diffusion and to a high refractive index overlay, has allowed to obtain with the second configuration a modulation efficiency improvement of the 45%, the first being equal to 11.5 m-1.","PeriodicalId":369354,"journal":{"name":"1977 7th European Microwave Conference","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133513091","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}

This change is attributable to the complex propagation direction of evanescent waves. To study the mechanism of shadow formation, and indeed the significance of a shadow zone when the incident evanescent field may be weaker than diffracted fields generated by the obstacle, the problem of inhomogeneous plane diffraction by a perfectly conducting semi-infinite screen is investigated. By a careful asymptotic treatment and error analysis of the known exact solution, the location of the shadow boundary is determined, as is the transition region surrounding it wherein the field cannot be separated into incident and diffracted constituents. It is found that for strongly evanescent fields, the shadow boundary and transition zones differ markedly from those for a homogeneous plane wave. Effects of losses in the medium are also considered.","PeriodicalId":369354,"journal":{"name":"1977 7th European Microwave Conference","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125784324","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 demultiplexer divides the incoming signal into four parallel 250 Mbit/s channels using fast hybrid integrated ECL-gates with rise time of less than 400 ps. All clock signals needed to drive these gates are extracted from the input signal by a phase locked loop using two frequency doubler stages between the local oscillator and the phase detector. Since the logic levels and supply voltages of the hybrid integrated ECL-gates are fully compatible with those of monolithic integrated ECL circuits, such ECL-circuits can be directly connected to the outputs of the demultiplexer.","PeriodicalId":369354,"journal":{"name":"1977 7th European Microwave Conference","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124842793","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 this paper, we show first, that some precautions have to be taken when measuring a temperature by the classical radiometric method. For instance, the signal emitted by a lossy material depends on its temperature, permittivity and thickness. This remark allows us to find out a new method for measuring microwave permittivity of liquids when using a Dicke radiometer. We propose a modified radiometric method to determine directly the temperature of the material whatever its reflection coefficient. The applicability of this method is tested with a X band set-up including FET microwave amplifiers. Possibilities of using probes for in situ temperature measurements are discussed.","PeriodicalId":369354,"journal":{"name":"1977 7th European Microwave Conference","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129596779","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}
