Studies of Non-Reciprocal Effects in Planar Submillimeter to Optical Waveguiding Structures and of Monolithic Circuits

摘要

This report summarizes technical activities and accomplishment under the support from the Office of Naval Research in the area of waveguiding structures for nonreciprocal devices, monolithic integrated circuits and related subjects. The report is divided into three parts. First, a number of nonreciprocal open waveguiding structures analyzed in this project are summarized. Second, an effort to characterize printed transmission lines formed on a semiconductor substrate containing a lossy layer is reported. The third part summarizes a number of approaches to characterize discontinuities in a printed transmission line. In addition, a preliminary effort for investigation of a transmission line suited for high critical temperature superconductors is presented. (RH)
