Efficiency Enhancement of Components Based on Talbot Effect

International Journal of Infrared and Millimeter Waves volume 28, pages 923–935 (2007)Cite this article

Abstract

Two ways to improve efficiency of components based on Talbot effect are considered in the present paper. One way is based on optimization of waveguide wall impedance, another one consists in modification of waveguide cross-section shape. Both methods allow correction of waveguide modes spectrum and lead to efficiency enhancement. For the important application of Talbot effect-remote steering antenna of a wavebeam in plasma-the steering band is expanded by 40–50%.
