Leading national thinking on politics, government & public policy through Open Access research

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Government & Public Policy, based within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Research here is 1st in Scotland for research intensity and spans a wide range of domains. The Department of Politics demonstrates expertise in understanding parties, elections and public opinion, with additional emphases on political economy, institutions and international relations. This international angle is reflected in the European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) which conducts comparative research on public policy. Meanwhile, the Centre for Energy Policy provides independent expertise on energy, working across multidisciplinary groups to shape policy for a low carbon economy.

Abstract

A quasi-optical mode converter in the form of a corrugated horn has been designed through numerical simulations, manufactured and experimentally measured for application in W-band gyro-devices. This horn converts a cylindrica TE11 mode into a free space TEM00 mode in a frequency band of 84-104 GHz with a reflection better than -30 dB, a Gaussian coupling efficiency of similar to 98% and directivity of 26.6 dB at 95 GHz. The small beam waist makes such a horn ideal for use with a depressed collector system. The measured results are in excellent agreement with the numerical simulations.
