To determine the dielectric permittivity of materials in a wide frequency range with the automation of measurements and the necessary accuracy, measuring cells have been created to ensure the simplicity of the design of the waveguide path. In order to obtain information about the suitability of measuring cells based on irregular SHF waveguides for estimation of dielectric parameters of materials, we simulated the structure of electromagnetic field in the system consisting of two irregular waveguides and waveguide chamber placed between them using a three-dimensional electrodynamic simulation in Ansoft HFSS package environment. The distribution of the electric field was simulated when an empty polyethylene tube, a rod of fluoroplastic and a rod of textolite are placed in the measuring cell. It was demonstrated that high order modes fade out in irregular waveguide and do not affect the precision of obtained results, and significant edge effects were not detected. It allows one to utilize measuring cells based on irregular waveguides together with a scalar or vector network analyzer and using the partial filling of the waveguide method or the modified Nicholson – Ross – Weir method for measurements of dielectric permittivity  of materials. The results of modeling the dependence of the amplitude and phase of the reflection coefficient of the textolite and fluoroplastic on the frequency in Ansoft HFSS environment are given. The simulation results are compared with the results obtained experimentally. The frequency dependencies of  were obtained experimentally for test materials – textolite and fluoroplastic – in the frequency range of 25,95–37,50 GHz. The experimental data are in satisfactory agreement with the results of theoretical calculations and do not go beyond the boundaries specified by the measurement uncertainty.

Abstract Measurements of the wall pressure fluctuations near a wing-plate junction were made for wings with three different aspect ratios (AR) of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 at several angles of attack. The chord-based Reynolds number for each wing was 274,000. The results show that the wall pressure fluctuations are a function of wing AR for cases where AR≤ 1.0. For each wing, the pressure fluctuations are highest upstream of the wing leading-edge due to three-dimensional flow separation; wings with AR = 1.0 and 0.5 show comparable levels, while those with AR = 0.2 show lower fluctuation levels over a wide frequency range. Downstream of the leading-edge, the pressure fluctuations decay rapidly on both sides of the wing until the maximum thickness location after which little variation is observed. The pressure fluctuations downstream of the leading-edge on the suction-side were observed to be comparable for AR = 0.2 and 0.5, while those for AR = 1.0 were higher in magnitude. On the pressure-side, the pressure fluctuations near the leading-edge are a weak function of AR; however, those further downstream remain independent of AR. The pressure fluctuations aft of the wing on the suction-side are more coherent for lower ARs and show higher convection velocity, possibly due to an interaction between the tip and the junction flows for lower ARs.

Dielectric properties of Eucalyptus urophylla wood were measured by using a network analyzer over an ultrawide frequency range between 0.2 GHz and 20 GHz. The effects of moisture content (MC), temperature and frequency on the dielectric permittivity and the dielectric loss factor of Eucalyptus urophylla were investigated along different grain directions. The results showed that the dielectric permittivity along with the dielectric loss factor increased significantly with the elevation in MC. At the frequency of 2380 MHz with the MC increasing from 0% to 100%, the dielectric permittivity along different grain directions (including longitudinal, radial and tangential directions) increased by 180%, 110% and 112%, respectively, while the loss factor along these three directions increased by 1642%, 3703% and 5058%, respectively. In addition, the increase in dielectric properties of Eucalyptus urophylla wood was determined with the temperature elevating. When the temperature elevated from 20 °C to 140 °C, the dielectric permittivity at 2380 MHz along the longitudinal, radial and tangential directions, increased by 19%, 14% and 15%, respectively, while the loss factor increased by 133% at most. As the radio frequency increased, the dielectric permittivity of wood decreased. Regression equations satisfactorily described the dielectric properties of wood along different grain directions with different moisture contents.

The theremin is one of the earliest electronic musical instruments. It is named after the Russian physics Professor Lev S. Termen who invented it in 1919. This musical instrument belongs to a very short list of devices which are played without physical contact between the musician and the instrument. theremin players complain about the interference that any object in a radius of approximately 3 meters produces when playing the theremin, modifying the intonation of the instrument. This is a problem when playing in small scenarios, with other musicians which move around it. With the aim of reducing the degree of interference from nearby obstacles, some metallic isolating bars conforming an antenna array can be placed around the theremin pitch antenna. The paper shows different simulations calculated with the commercial software Ansoft HFSS, a tool which allows three-dimensional full wave electromagnetic field simulation, with radio frequencies, millimeter and micro waves, and experimental measures, both showing a reduction in the effect of the interference.

The effect of stoichiometry, i.e. Ca/Cu ratios (CaCu3xTi4O12, x = 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) on the microstructure and electrical properties was investigated. The grain sizes of CaCu3xTi4O12 composition increased sharply with the increase of copper, from ~1 μm with x = 0.8 to ~50 μm with x = 1.2. The real part of dielectric permittivity changed dramatically, the pellet with x = 1.0 had the highest dielectric permittivity ~160, 000 at 1 kHz. Furthermore, the dielectric permittivity of all pellets was impressively large values (between 10, 000 to 1, 000,000 at 100 Hz) and was nearly constant over a wide frequency range between 100 Hz to ~100 MHz. However, the dielectric permittivity of CaCu3xTi4O12 composition is not consistent with the amount of copper and cell parameters and grain sizes. Impedance spectroscopy exhibited that the CaCu3xTi4O12 composition had two semicircle at least at high frequency (~ 107 Hz) and low frequency (<100 Hz), respectively. The grain and grain boundary of the compositions had different impedance and relaxation behavior.

Parametric Studies

This study presents a three-dimensional global–local formulation for the prediction of guided wave scattering from discontinuities (e.g. defects). The approach chosen utilizes the Semi-Analytical Finite Element method for the “global” portion of the waveguide, and a full Finite Element discretization for the “local” portion of the waveguide containing the discontinuity. The application of interest is the study of guided wave scattering from transverse head defects in rails. Theoretical scattering results are impossible to obtain in this case for a wide-frequency range. While three-dimensional Semi-Analytical Finite Element–Finite Element models for guided wave scattering studies have been used in the past, this is the only study where guided waves in rails were modeled in a wide-frequency range (up to 180 kHz). A comparison analysis with a benchmark study of wave reflections from the free end of a cylindrical rod is conducted first. For the case of the rail, selected case studies of incoming guided modes were chosen, and reflection and transmission spectra are calculated for head defects of various sizes. This kind of results can be utilized to guide and/or interpret ultrasonic guided wave tests aimed at defect detection or quantification. Finally, parametric studies are conducted to examine more closely the role of certain operational parameters that are important in this kind of analysis, and specifically the size of the “local” region and the number of guided modes considered. These parametric studies lead to compromises that need to be struck on the basis of conservation of energy among all wave modes involved.

Materials with a high dielectric constant (e > 1000) based on complex oxides of spontaneously polarized systems, lithium-conducting systems, and oxides of transition metals were studied. It was shown in dielectric ceramics Ba(Ti,Sn)O3 the absence of significant dispersion of dielectric parameters (e and tg δ) in a wide frequency range from 1 to 105 Hz. The introduction of MnO2 and Al2O3-SiO2-TiO2 improves dielectric parameters and reduces sintering temperature. Obtained ceramic materials are characterized by high dielectric constant values e ~ 13000–16000 and low dielectric losses tg d ~ 0.05–0.06 (at 1 MHz). Synthesized solid solutions of La0.5Li0.5-xNaxTiO3 system, where x = 0 and 0.1, have high values e¢ > 104 at low frequencies (f ≤ 10 Hz). Dielectric properties of these materials are determined by the lithium ions mobility that increases with the rise of sodium content by increasing bottleneck size and decreases by the number of lithium vacancies reduction. The disadvantage of such materials is the decrease in dielectric constant with frequency increase. It was found that the ceramic СaСu3Тi4–xAlxО12-y-0.5xFy with x/y = 0.04/0.04 after sintering for 10 h is characterized by dielectric parameters: e¢ » 71000 (1 kHz) and tg d » 0.047. Introduction of aluminum (x/y = 0.04/0) or fluorine (0/0.08) in CCTO reduces dielectric losses (tg d » 0.044). The advantages of this type of material are a wide frequency range of high dielectric constant and relatively low dielectric loss. Synthesized materials can be used for the development of ceramic capacitors with high characteristics.

Abstract The Fe nanocrystals (NCs) were embedded into the epitaxial BaTiO 3 (BTO) matrix. According to optimize growth processes, a novel nanocomposite system was constructed, which consist of well epitaxial BTO layer and three-dimensional Fe NCs. Based on this, the different dielectric response in the regions of low temperature-high frequency and low frequency-high temperature were revealed by the contribution of hopping and interfacial polarizations, respectively. With the increased amount of Fe NCs, the obvious enhancement of low-frequency conductivity, middle frequency capacitance and high-frequency inductive effect was found. The metal NC embedding plays an important role in tuning the dielectric behaviors and ac conductivity of oxide dielectrics. This significant rectification effect in the wide-frequency ranges opens up a new direction for the designing of embedded nano-capacitors.
