Among these, with regard to band-width and losses, non-uniform microstrips with a continuously varying cross-section have better characteristics than those having only rough discontinuities. In this work a theoretical analysis of non-uniform microstrip lines, based on a magnetic walls model, is presented. The experiments performed in a wide freque, ncy range have shown a promising agreement with the theory. Both theoretical and experimental behaviour show the existence of transmission and reflection zeros characterizing the filtering properties of structures of this kind.","PeriodicalId":377507,"journal":{"name":"1976 6th European Microwave Conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123135013","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}

Since Man is an optical imaging system, and also the ultimate recognition system, it is interesting to compare his performance with a microwave lens system which remotely images suitably reflecting targets. It is shown that the microwave system resolution can be only one order of magnitude inferior to the human eye-brain response. Given that recognition of objects is performed on their low spatial frequency components, the small scale microwave imaging system is comparable to human performance for simple target shapes.","PeriodicalId":377507,"journal":{"name":"1976 6th European Microwave Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122054738","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}

One structure is a slot waveguide, formed by a slot or gap of unplated film on a substrate between two plated regions, for which previous analyses are incorrect for one polarization. The correct analysis shows that for that polarization the modes are leaky and that propagation occurs over a wider frequency range than expected. The other structure is a new one consisting simply of a strip of metal plated on a film on a substrate. Waveguiding with low loss is possible under appropriate conditions because metals at optical frequencies behave as overdense plasmas.","PeriodicalId":377507,"journal":{"name":"1976 6th European Microwave Conference","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134165796","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}
