Amplitude and phase balances of two types of microstrip-(MS-) to-coplanar stripline (CPS) baluns have been analyzed through simulations and measurements, and their effects on broadband antenna performance are investigated. The impedance bandwidth of the balun determined by a back-to-back configuration can sometimes overestimate the balun operating bandwidth. With the conventional balun with a 180° phase delay line, it is observed that the balun balance over the operating frequencies becomes much more improved as the CPS length increases to over 0.1 λg. As compared with the conventional balun, the proposed MS-to-CPS balun demonstrated very wideband performance from 5 to over 20 GHz. With the proposed balun, amplitude and phase imbalances are within 1 dB and ±5°, respectively. Effects of the balun imbalance on overall broadband antenna performance are also discussed with a quasi-Yagi antenna and a narrow beamwidth tapered slot antenna (TSA).

The advancing requirements for strength, relaxation, thermophysical, electrical, and other structural elements characteristics actualizes the polymer composite material use for the soft part and node point manufacture, which improves performance index. This paper reported the need to take into account relaxation phenomena in predicting the body’s thermal field development that is made of polymeric materials, and the thermal relaxation time and the thermal damping time proportional to the duration of transient thermal process certain periods. In this article three-period thermal process in a cylindrical body mathematical model is presented. cylindrical body made of a low-heat-conducting material by using a heat conduction hyperbolic equation that is reflecting the heat flow relaxation and thermal damping phenomenon. A numerical solution to the problem of unsteady heat conduction in a circular disk for a two-phase delay equation is presented, which is based on the grid method implementation by using a three-layer implicit difference scheme and the finite difference method use. Calculation formulas for the run-through coefficients as well as the temperature values at the outer boundaries are concluded using the boundary conditions approximation for the intermediate and upper time layers, taking into account the multi-period of the process. The implementation of the modified run-through method when solving the non-stationary heat conduction problem in a cylindrical body, taking into account the finite heat propagation speed and thermal damping is described. The calculation results for the cylindrical body temperature field are obtained by using the polymethyl methacrylate example upon sudden heating based on a model with a two-phase delay. The results presented in this paper aid in an increase in predicting temperature field accuracy in polymer composite materials in the transient thermal processes study.

<p>A Hardware Interface (HI) to synchronize the operations of standalone Measurement Instruments (MIs) in the absence of networking has been proposed in the recent literature. The synchronization accuracy achieved is one period of the clock equipping the HI. To improve the synchronization accuracy two solutions can be argued on the basis of the mathematical model of the delay between HIs. The first involves increasing the clock frequency; the second concerns the compensation of the phase delay between HI clocks. In this paper the second solution is adopted in order to: (i) reduce the energy consumption, and (ii) not increase the complexity of the hardware architecture. The phase delay compensation is obtained by introducing a programmable delay line after the HI clocks. The phase delay evaluation and the successive tuning of the delay line are performed in the synchronization phase of the HIs. Once synchronized, each HI is moved to the standalone MI to trigger it according to the common sense of time. During the execution of the measurement procedure, networking is not necessary. Experimental tests validate the correct operation of the upgraded HI architecture and indicate that the achievable synchronization accuracy is a low percentage of the HI clock period.</p>
