A Device for Experimental Research on Wave Electromagnetic Processes in Multiply Connected Quasi-Optical Systems with Periodic Inhomogeneities

The results of the development of a universal experimental device and the general methodology for modeling wave electromagnetic processes in multiply connected quasi-optical resonance systems, which contain periodic inhomogeneities of various modifications, at which surface waves of a dielectric waveguide are transformed into bulk electromagnetic wave, are presented. The optimal modeling modes and the key parameters of the investigated electrodynamic systems are selected. The block diagram of the experimental device, which is implemented in the wavelength range λ = 4–8 mm, is described. A general methodology for modeling the wave electromagnetic phenomena in resonance and wave-guiding multiply connected quasioptical systems is outlined for the first time by the authors.
