Wave Interactions in Active and Passive Microwave and Millimeter Wave Circuits

摘要

Millimeter wave circuits require studies of wave interactions fromelectromagnetic point of view in the analysis, design and characterizations of circuits, components and systems. In this research, wave interaction issues are central in a number of investigations. The topics studied include active quasi-optical structures for power generation, active integrated antennas for radar, communication and transponders, optical control of remotely located active antennas, and comprehensive electromagnetic simulation of active microwave and millimeter wave circuit structures. We have accomplished milestones in these subjects. Quasi-optical power combiner has an excellent capability while the electromagnetic simulation enhance the capability of obtaining much more information content than in conventional CAD programs on the physical and dynamic behavior of the circuits.
