毫米波多内导体布喇格结构电磁特性研究

基于多模耦合理论,利用三维电磁仿真软件CST对毫米波双内导体和三内导体布喇格结构电磁特性分别进行了比较研究。结果表明:双内导体布喇格结构相比同轴布喇格结构可以抑制竞争模式,反射率稳定并接近1,对称性结构电磁特性优于非对称性结构;随着内导体距离同轴轴心距离的增大,双内导体布喇格结构频率响应带宽变宽,且当内导体距离同轴轴心距离较远时,带宽变宽趋势明显,而反射率值趋于稳定;对于三内导体布喇格结构,随着内导体距离同轴轴心距离的增大,频率响应带宽变窄,且当内导体距离同轴轴心距离较近时,带宽变宽趋势明显。因此,可根据实际需要恰当选择毫米波多内导体布喇格结构参数,拓宽其作为反射器或者滤波器的性能,提高模式的选择性及模式的纯度,改善布喇格结构的性能。

Modeling of Biological Tissues Response to Radio Frequency （RF）： Towards Remote Sensing of Electrocardiography Signal

Premature newborns are at high risk of developing infections, so they require continuous monitoring of vital parameters for long periods of time, until they approximately reach the pregnancy due date. ECG （electrocardiography） is one of the most widely used method for evaluating the structure-function relationship of the heart in health and in sickness. Due to incomplete skin development, premature newborns have some special requirements to the ECG monitoring electrodes. Contact ECG monitoring adversely affects the health and comfort of the newborns. The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of using RF （radio frequency） in ECG signal remote sensing. This requires studying the interaction mechanisms between RF fields and biological tissues The ECG current propagated from the heart through the skin has an effect on the permittivity of the skin which is frequency dependent. Thus, the feasibility of detecting the change of the relative permittivity in the presence of ECG signal is also discussed. The RF biological tissues response is simulated using MATLAB software in preparation for experimental validation.

Multiple Image Method for the Two Conductor Spheres in a Uniform Electrostatic Field

A method using multiple mirror images of point charges is put forward to analyze the polarization of two identical conductor spheres in a uniform electrostatic field.By use of the method,the electric field distribution and the interaction force between two spheres can be calculated accurately even for very small gap between two spheres.Our results show that the magnitude of the product of the gap between two spheres and the local electric field in the center of the gap is approximately in the same order and the interaction between two spheres increases very fast as the two spheres are close to each other.We also show that the interaction force between two conductor spheres is almost same with that between two dielectric spheres with high permittivity.

Cell trapping and patterning using dielectric-structure-assisted negative dieletrophoresis

This paper reports a cell trapping and patterning method using dielectric-pattern-assisted negative dielectrophoresis (dnDEP) that can achieve high-density cell arrays and complicated cell patterns.The dnDEP device consists of two planar metal electrodes and a patterned dielectric layer sandwiched in-between.The dielectric patterns generate non-uniform electric fields when an ac voltage is applied on the two electrodes,and the interaction of polarizable cells and the non-uniform electric fields imposes negative DEP forces on the cells,pushing them to the patterns in the dielectric layer.Using this dnDEP device,human lymphoma cells were successfully patterned in high-density microwell arrays and stellate structures.Thanks to the three-dimensional configuration and the small distance between the electrodes,cell trapping and patterning can be implemented with a voltage of 10 V.This dnDEP device has the advantages of simple configuration,low actuating voltage,and the compatibility with high conductivity physiological media for cell culturing.

Experimental investigation on the wing-wake interaction at the mid stroke in hovering flight of dragonfly

This paper focuses on flow structures of the wing-wake interaction between the hind wing and the wake of the forewing in hovering flight of a dragonfly since there are arguments whether the wing-wake interaction is useful or not.A mechanical flapping model with two tandem wings is used to study the interaction.In the device,two identical simplified model wings are mounted to the flapping model and they are both scaled up to keep the Reynolds number similar to those of dragonfly in hovering flight since our experiment is conducted in a water tank.The kinetic pattern of dragonfly(Aeschna juncea) is chosen because of its special interesting asymmetry.A multi-slice phase-locked stereo particle image velocimetry(PIV) system is used to record flow structures around the hind wing at the mid downstroke(t/T=0.25) and the mid upstroke(t/T=0.75).To make comparison of the flow field between with and without the influence of the wake,flow structures around a single flapping wing(hind wing without the existence of the forewing) at these two stroke phases are also recorded.A local vortex identification scheme called swirling strength is applied to determine the vortices around the wing and they are visualized with the iso-surface of swirling strength.This paper also presents contour lines of z at each spanwise position of the hind wing,the vortex core position of the leading edge vortex(LEV) of hind wing with respect to the upper surface of hind wing,the circulation of the hind wing LEV at each spanwise position and so on.Experimental results show that dimension and strength of the hind wing LEV are impaired at the mid stroke in comparison with the single wing LEV because of the downwash from the forewing.Our results also reveal that a wake vortex from the forewing traverses the upper surface of the hind wing at the mid downstroke and its distance to the upper surface is about 40% of the wing chord length.At the instant,the distance of the hind wing LEV to the upper surface is about 20% of the wing chord length.Thus,there must be a wing-wake interaction mechanism that makes the wake vortex become an additional LEV of the hind wing and it can partly compensate the hind wing for its lift loss caused by the downwash from the forewing.

Investigation on 3D flow field induced by a plasma actuator with serrated electrode

This paper presents an experimental investigation on flow field induced by a dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) plasma actuator with serrated electrodes in still air to further improve its flow control effectiveness. For comparison, the actuator with widely used linear electrodes was also studied. Experiments were carried out using 2D particle image velocimetry. Particular attention was given to the flow topology, discharge phenomenon, and vortex formation mechanism. Results showed that a 2D wall jet was induced by the linear actuators, whereas the plasma actuators with serrated electrode introduced a series of streamwise vorticities, which might benefit flow control(e.g., enhancing the momentum transport in the separated boundary flow). In addition, the mechanism of 3D flow topology induced by the serrated DBD actuator was analyzed in detail.

Formation mechanism of subtrenches on cone-shaped patterned sapphire substrate

In this paper, the cone-shaped patterned sapphire substrates (PSS) were etched by an inductively couple plasma with BCl 3 as the reacting gas. The influence of the operating pressure and the RF bias power on subtrenches of the cone-shaped PSS and the formation mechanism of subtrenches were investigated. The profiles of patterns were characterized by FESEM (field emission scanning electron microscope). It showed that the subtrench size varied with the operating pressure and the RF bias power. As the operating pressure increased from 0.2 Pa to 0.9 Pa, the subtrenches changed from narrow and deep to wide and shallow; then to narrower and shallower. When the RF bias power varied from 200 W to 600 W, the subtrenches gradually became noticeable. The FESEM results also indicated that the subtrenches were formed due to the ion scattering effect which was caused by tapered sidewalls and charges accumulation. It is discovered that the scattering effect is closely related with the operating pressure and RF bias power.
