A band-pass frequency selective surface with polarization rotation

A band-pass frequency selective surface(FSS) with polarization rotation property is proposed. The proposed polarization rotating FSS(PR-FSS) is a two-dimensional periodic structure, its unit cell is an antenna-filter-antenna(AFA) module,and the polarization directions of the upper and lower antennas in each AFA module are orthogonal to each other, so the PR-FSS can achieve frequency selection and 90 degrees polarization rotation at the same time. The numerical simulation demonstrate that the anticipated frequency selection and polarization rotation are realized by the PR-FSS in the frequency band from 8.84 GHz to 10.30 GHz with a relative bandwidth of 15.26%, and the maximum insertion loss in the pass band is only 0.17 d B. Finally, one effective experiment validation is carried out, a reasonable agreement is observed between the experimental and simulated results except for a slight deviation caused by fabrication error and measurement tolerance.

Numerical Calculation of Seafloor Synthetic Seismograms Caused by Low Frequency Point Sound Source

Elastic wave on seafloor caused by low frequency noise radiated from ship is called ship seismic wave which can be used to identify ship target. In order to analyze the wave components and the propagating properties of ship seismic wave, the numerical calculation of synthetic seismograms on seafloor aroused by a low frequency point sound source is carried out using a wave number integration technique combined with inverse Fourier transform. According to the numerical example of hard seafloor, the time series of seismic wave on seafloor are mostly composed of interface waves and normal mode waves. Each normal mode wave has a well defined low cut-off frequency, while the interface wave doesn't have. The frequency dispersion of normal mode wave is obvious when frequency is lower than 100Hz, while the interface wave is dispersive only in the infra-sound frequency range. The time series of seismic wave is dominated by the interface wave when the source frequency is less than the minimal cut-off frequency of normal mode wave.

Seismogram Synthesis in Multi-layered Half-space Part Ⅰ. Theoretical Formulations

In the past two decades numerous studies were made to develop and improve the theory and practical computation techniques of synthesizing theoretical seismograms for the model of multi-layered half-space. Today, synthesizing theoretical seismograms in multi-layered half-space is an important tool for understanding the structure of the Earth’s interior as well as the seismic source process from well-recorded seismograms data. As part of a review of the state-of-the-art, in this article I shall present a systematic and self-contained theory of elastic waves in multi-layered half-space media based on the developments in the past two decades.

A novel technique for automatic seismic data processing using both integral and local feature of seismograms

A novel technique for automatic seismic data processing using both integral and local feature of seismograms was presented in this paper. Here, the term integral feature of seismograms refers to feature which may depict the shape of the whole seismograms. However, unlike some previous efforts which completely abandon the DIAL approach, i.e., signal detection, phase identifi- cation, association, and event localization, and seek to use envelope cross-correlation to detect seismic events directly, our technique keeps following the DIAL approach, but in addition to detect signals corresponding to individual seismic phases, it also detects continuous wave-trains and explores their feature for phase-type identification and signal association. More concrete ideas about how to define wave-trains and combine them with various detections, as well as how to measure and utilize their feature in the seismic data processing were expatiated in the paper. This approach has been applied to the routine data processing by us for years, and test results for a 16 days＇ period using data from the Xinjiang seismic station network were presented. The automatic processing results have fairly low false and missed event rate simultaneously, showing that the new technique has good application prospects for improvement of the automatic seismic data processing.

A cloud-based synthetic seismogram generator implemented using Windows Azure

Synthetic seismograms generated by solving the seismic wave equation using numerical methods are being widely used in seismology. For fully three-dimensional seismic structure models, the generation of these synthetic seismograms may require large amount of computing resources. Conventional high-performance computer clusters may not provide a cost-effective solution to this type of applications. The newly emerging cloud-computing platform provides an alternative solution. In this paper, we describe our implementation of a synthetic seismogram generator based on the reciprocity principle using the Windows Azure cloud application framework. Our preliminary experiment shows that our cloud-based synthetic seismogram generator provides a costeffective and numerically efficient approach for computing synthetic seismograms based on the reciprocity principle.

Electrically triggered dual-band tunable terahertz metamaterial band-pass filter based on Si_3N_4–VO_2–Si_3N_4 sandwich

We experimentally demonstrate an electrically triggered terahertz(THz) dual-band tunable band-pass filter based on Si_3 N_4–VO_2–Si_3 N_4 sandwich-structured hybrid metamaterials. The insulator–metal phase transition of VO_2 film is induced by the Joule thermal effect of the top metal layer. The finite-integration-time-domain(FITD) method and finite element method(FEM) are used for numerical simulations. The sample is fabricated using a surface micromachining process,and characterized by a THz time-domain-spectrometer(TDS). When the bias current is 0.225 A, the intensity modulation depths at two central frequencies of 0.56 THz and 0.91 THz are about 81.7% and 81.3%, respectively. This novel design can achieve dynamically electric–thermo–optic modulation in the THz region, and has potential applications in the fields of THz communications, imaging, sensing, and astronomy exploration.

The strain seismograms of P- and S-waves of a local event recorded by four-gauge borehole strainmeter

At a sampling rate of 100 samples per second,the YRY-4 four-gauge borehole strainmeters（FGBS） are capable of recording transient strains caused by seismic waves such as P and S waves or strain seismograms. At such a high sampling rate, data from the YRY-4 strainmeters demonstrate fairly satisfactory self-consistency. The strain tensor seismograms demonstrate the senses of motion of P waves, that is, the type of seismic wave travels in the direction of the maximum normal strain change. The observed strain patterns of S waves significantly differ from those of P waves and should contain information about the source mechanism. Spectrum analysis shows that the strain seismograms are consistent with conventional broadband seismograms from the same site.

Solar-blind ultraviolet band-pass filter based on metal–dielectric multilayer structures

Solar-blind ultraviolet （UV） band-pass filter has significant value in many scientific, commercial, and military appli- cations, in which the detection of weak UV signal against a strong background of solar radiation is required. In this work, a solar-blind filter is designed based on the concept of ＂transparent metal＂. The filter consisting of Al/SiO2 multilayers could exhibit a high transmission in the solar-blind wavelength region and a wide stopband extending from near-ultraviolet to infrared wavelength range. The central wavelength, bandwidth, Q factor, and rejection ratio of the passband are numerically studied as a function of individual layer thickness and multilayer period.

Research on anisotropic parameters by syn-thetic seismogram

Based on the extensive-dilatancy anisotropy theory, the method of synthetic seismogram is used to estimate the anisotropic parameters. The advantages of the method lie in that it avoids the singularity resolution and saves calculation time of computer by using the eigenvalue and eigenvector analytical expressions of Christoffel equation, at the same time, the result is tested by coherence function. The test result reveals that there exists a fine linear relation between original records and synthetic records, indicating the anisotropic parameters estimated by synthetic seismogram can reflect and describe the anisotropic characteristics of the given region medium.

The optimum source－time function for generating finite－difference synthetic seismograms

A source-time function plays an important role in generating finite-difference synthetic seismograms.In this regard,we consider the amplitude spectra of five different time functions.This investigation shows that when the high-frequency signals of the time function carry more power than the main signal,the tailing phenomena would be associated with the main signal which is not desirable in producing finite-difference synthetic seismograms.It is illustrated that the time function denoted by is the optimal source-time function among those examined in this paper for generating finite-difference synthetic seismograms.This matter is also verified by making finite-difference synthetic seismograms over an elastic earth model consisting of a layer over a half space.

Grid dispersion in generating finite-differences synthetic seismograms

In order to obtain a finite-difference synthetic seismogram, the finite earth model must be subdivided into cells.If the cell size becomes too large in comparison with wavelength of the source signal, waves disperse with increasing traveltime. This phenomenon is known as grid dispersion. The grid dispersion produces a variation of velocity with different frequencies; that is the higher signal frequencies travel more slowly than the lower signal frequencies. Consequently, substantial tailing of the signal arises with increasing traveltime. This may happpen if: (1) the grid spacing is large; (2) the sampling rate is large; or (3) the source wavelength is too short compared with grid size. In other words, an important parameter in generating finite-difference synthetic seismograms is the number of grid points per wavelength of the source signal. In this paper, it is shown that the frequency of a source function has great effects on grid dispersion when P-Sv coupled waves propagate through elastic models by finite-differences. The two-dimensional elastic models considered in this paper consist of : (1) a normal fault, and (2) a layer over a half-space. This study verifies that, when generating finite-difference synthetic seismograms, the grid dispersion will be reduced to a satisfactory level if the grid points per wavelength at the half-power frequency of the source signal for the lowest velocity of the medium exceeds ten.

We have designed and proposed the edge modes supported by graphene ribbons and the planar band-pass filter consist- ing of graphene ribbons coupled to a graphene ring resonator by using the finite-difference time-domain numerical method. Simulation results show that the edge modes improve the electromagnetic coupling between devices. This structure works as a novel, tunable mid-infrared band-pass filter. Our studies will benefit the fabrication of planar, ultra-compact nano-scale devices in the mid-infrared region. A power splitter consisting of two output ribbons that is useful in photonic integrated devices and circuits is also designed and simulated. These devices are useful for designing ultra-compact planar devices in photonic integrated circuits.

Design of UWB Band-pass Filters with GPS Band Rejection

This paper presents a compact Ultra-Wideband （UWB） band-pass filter using a high-pass filter and a low-pass one, and the resonator with lumped elements. The structure of our proposed bandpass filter is very simple and the Defected Ground Structure（DGS） structure is used to get the low-pass filter characteristics. This proposed band-pass filter can be much smaller than a cascaded type filter. As a result of simulation, the insertion loss is less than 0.3 dB throughout the pass-band of 2.2 GHz- 10.6 GHz, while the return loss is more than 18 dB. And it has rejection level of 36 dB at GPS band.

DUAL MODE WIDEBAND BAND-PASS FILTER WITH NOTCHED BAND FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

This paper presents a planar microstrip wideband dual mode Band-Pass Filter(BPF) from 2 GHz to 3.4 GHz with a notched band at 2.62 GHz.The dual mode band-pass filter consists of a ring resonator with two quarter-wavelength open-circuited stubs at =90o and =0o,respectively.A square perturbation stub has been put at the corner of the ring resonator to increase the narrow stopbands and improve the performance of selectivity.By using a parallel-coupled feed line,a narrow notched band is introduced at the required frequency and its Fractional BandWidth(FBW) is about 5%.The proposed filter has a narrow notched band and a wide pass-band with a sharp cutoff frequency characteristic,the attenuation rate for the sharp cutoff frequency responses is 297.17 dB/GHz(cal-culated from 1.959 GHz with-34.43 dB to 2.065 GHz with-2.93 dB) and 228.10 dB/GHz(calculated from 3.395 GHz with-2.873 dB to 3.507 GHz with-28.42 dB).This filter has the advantages of good insertion loss in both operating bands and two rejections of greater than 16 dB in the range of 1.59 GHz to 1.99 GHz and 3.49 GHz to 3.98 GHz.Having been presented in this article,the measurement results agree well with the simulation results,which validates our idea.

A new method of weighted superposition for seismogram synthesis in depth domain

The extensive use of depth-imaged seismic data produced by pre-stack depth migration(PSDM)leads to the necessity to synthesize seismogram directly in depth domain.However,since seismic wavelet in depth domain is dependent on media velocities.The time-domain convolution operation directly used in depth domain does not meet the linear time-invariant condition.In this paper,we present a new method for genuine depth-domain seismic synthesis.This method constructs the velocity-dependent seismic wavelets varying adaptively with the corresponding interval velocities in the depth direction and weights them by the reflectivities,then the synthetic seismic record is obtained by the superposition of these weighted depth-varying wavelets.We applied this method to synthesize the seismic record of both a multi-layered geological model and the field data.The results show that the method can accommodate the intrinsic velocity-dependent variation characteristics of seismic events in depth domain and avoid the redundant depth-to-time and time-to-depth transformations.
