A lowpass antimetric ladder network is transformed into a single-lattice single-sideband crystal filter using simple network equivalences and an asymmetrical frequency transformation. A methodis then given for altering the phase shift independent of both the attenuation and network configuration, and applied so that a crystal in each lattice arm resonates at the frequency of infinite attenuation. ...

A rigorous derivation of the power-reciprocity theorem in antenna theory is presented. It relates the absorption cross-section of the load in the receiving situation to the power gain of the antenna in the transmitting situation. The most general case is considered, namely (a) the materialof which the antenna is made may be lossy, anisotropic and inhomogeneous, if only linear in its electromagneti... View full abstract»

• ### Transmission loss in a waveguide partially filled with dielectric

Publication Year: 1974, Page(s):1057 - 1058
| | PDF (251 KB)

The. problem is to calculate the dielectric loss in a waveguide partially filled across its smaller dimension. A numerical solution can be found which applies for any ratio of dielectric thickness to height of guide, but only when the dielectric loss is small. Numerical results agree with some obtained by previous authors. View full abstract»

R.F. signals with certain defined characteristics have to be generated for ground testing on f.m. c.w. radar airborne-guidance systems. Normally in flight, two r.f. signals would be received; one direct from the ground transmitter and the other originating at the same transmitter, but reflected from a target. A lowfrequency wide-deviation frequency modulator is applied to the carrier at the ground... View full abstract»

Forward error correction (f.e.c.) and decision feedback (a.r.q.) are combined using a hybrid decoding scheme of partial error correction and partial error detection. This is shown to have advantages when a low error probability is required and efficient use of transmitter power is important. The performance of the scheme is analysed, assuming transmission over a channel disturbed primarily by whit... View full abstract»

Conducting material, in both the solid and the liquid state, can be suspended above a.c. coil systems. It is shown how a rectangular plate, suspended by one such system, may also be propelled by the same system of currents which serve to suspend it, and that lateral guidance is then automatically built into the system. In early experiments which are described, over 90% of the input power to such a... View full abstract»

The paper investigates the performance of a synchronous generator with two field windings, with separate voltage and angle regulators.

Publication Year: 1974, Page(s):1141 - 1145

| | PDF (525 KB)

In the usual design of optimal linear regulators for synchronous machines, the controller is designed for a particular set of system operating conditions. However, in actual system operation, these conditions are subject to load demands. Consequently, the optimal controller designed for a certain operating condition will no longer yield a satisfactory performance at others. The paper endeavours to... View full abstract»

The paper demonstrates the application of communication techniques to improve the phase-controlle circulating-current cycloconverter. A modification to the existing cosinusoidal firing method is proposed which employs regular sampling instead of natural sampling. It is shown that this modification leads to a reduction in the magnitude of certain (low-frequency) harmonics that exist in the output w... View full abstract»
