A new type of spectrum analyzer using RF interferometry is presented. The stationary wave integrated Fourier transform spectrometer is dedicated to the measurement of transient wideband signals. The spectrometer is mobile and cheap. It consists of spatial samplers placed along a waveguide ended by a short circuit. The standing wave caused by the short circuit is sampled and the spectrum is obtained by an FFT computation. A 0.3–5 GHz analyzer was built as a proof-of-principle demonstration and an application to RF dosimetry is shown.

AbstractWith the advent of bidimensional array detectors the throughput advantage of a Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) can be used to create a new type of 3-D spectrometer. The classical multiplex property in the spectral domain of a FTS is multiplied by the number of pixel of the array. The points of the entrance field are all observed in parallel. After discussing the properties of this instrument, the coupling of the FTS of the CFH Telescope to a camera equipped with a NICMOS 3 array is described. With this combination, spectro-imaging in any bandpass between 1 and 2.5 µm is possible within a circular 24” field of view, with a scale of 0.33”/pixel, at seeing-limited spatial resolution. Any spectral resolution is choosable up to 30,000. Illustrations are given by a study of the dark side of Venus at 1.27 µm and of planetary nebulae at 2 µm. Many other objects can benefit from this observing mode in the near infrared. Further developments of this 3-D technique are discussed.

Corn cob, an agricultural waste, is paralyzed at different temperatures (700oC, 800oC and 900oC). Microwave absorption of carbon in the frequency range of 2 GHz to 8 GHz is reported. Carbon activated  with 5%  nickel nitrate showed more than 90% absorption of microwave in the frequency range from 6 GHz to 8 GHz, while carbon activated  with 10% Nickel nitrate treated corn cob showed 90% absorption  in the frequency range of 2.5 GHz to 5 GHz. Carbon showing the best absorption are characterized by XRD, Raman spectra and SEM . It is suggested that corn cob treatment   alone with KOH did not improve the microwave absorption, whereas treatment along with nickel nitrate improved the absorption property much better. It is proposed that treatment with nickel nitrate helps in creating suitable pores in carbon   which improved the absorption behavior because while treating carbon with 1N HCl helps to leach out nickel creating equivalent amount of pores in the carbon.
