Influence of density variations of ionosphere plasma on the conditions of electromagnetic whistler waves propagation in the ionosphere

Mizonova V.G., Degteryov E.G., Sokolova G.M.

Abstract

Background. Plasma density variations caused by infrasonic wave can significantly affect conditions of propagation and reflection of whistler electromagnetic wave incident on the ionosphere from above. Aim. In that work, relationship between the coefficient of wave energy reflection from ionosphere, electromagnetic wave field near the ground surface and parameters of infrasonic wave are studied. Methods. The collocation method for solving the boundary problem for a plane-layered ionosphere and the perturbation theory method are used to find the electromagnetic wave field. Results. The greatest modulation of the reflection coefficient is associated with density perturbations at altitudes 80–110 km where whistler decay increases by an order of magnitude at the local altitude region (less than 15–20 km). In that case, the reflection coefficient variation can achieve 40 %. Conclusion. The results obtained are important for understanding the interconnection of magnetosphere radiation processes of different nature. The study of the modulation of coefficient of whistler reflection from the ionosphere is relevant for explaining the operation modes of a plasma magnetospheric maser.

Tabakov D.P., Al-Nozaili B.M.

Abstract

Background. The work is aimed at developing and researching rigorous methods for solving internal problem of electrodynamics for multi-element structures (metastructures) consisting from the final number of elements, as well as to study the physical processes occurring in them. A special case of such structures are two-dimensional lattices with a fixed interelement distance, consisting of identical elements having the same spatial orientation (regular lattices). Aim. In this work, based on an iterative approach, the internal solution is solved. problems of electrodynamics for a finite regular two-dimensional lattice of spiral elements. In order to obtain a priori information about the electrodynamic characteristics of elements lattice and justification for the choice of projection function systems are analyzed spectral characteristics of the integral operator of the internal problem for a single spiral element. Then the currents on the structure elements are calculated, their spectral characteristics are determined. The results of spectral analysis allow increase the efficiency of solving an internal problem. Methods. The research is based on a strict electrodynamic approach, within the framework of which, for the specified structure in the thin-wire approximation, an integral representation of the electromagnetic field is formed, which, when considered on the surface of conductors together with boundary conditions, is reduced to a system of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, written relative to unknown current distributions on conductors (internal task). The solution of the internal problem within the framework of the method of moments is reduced to solving a SLAE with a block matrix. Results. A mathematical model of a finite two-dimensional lattice of spiral elements is proposed radiating structure. For the specified structure, in the case of its excitation by a flat electromagnetic wave, based on the iterative approach, the internal problem of electrodynamics was solved. The following were carried out in a wide frequency range: analysis of the convergence of the iterative process, spectral analysis of the integral operator of the internal problem for a single spiral element, as well as spectral analysis of external field and current functions functions on lattice elements. Conclusion. The feasibility of determining the spectral characteristics of integral operators is shown internal task for the elements forming the metastructure. A relationship has been identified between the frequency dependence eigenvalues of the integral operator of the internal problem of single elements, forming a metastructure, with resonance phenomena arising in the metastructure, the influence of resonances on the convergence of the iterative process was confirmed. The feasibility of considering averaged amplitude current spectra is shown. It was revealed that the averaged spectrum of current functions is close to degenerate, especially near resonant frequencies. This allows for use as projection functions a compact set of eigenfunctions that have significant amplitudes in the vicinity of the frequency under study, which significantly simplifies the solution of the internal problem.

Semenov P.A., Zemlyakov V.V., Vyatkina S.A.

Abstract

Background. Modern technologies in the field of optics and photonics place high demands on the quality and output power of the radiation source. The fulfillment of these requirements can currently be achieved by creating multi-aperture laser systems with coherent beam addition. The main problem of creating such systems is the development of phase synthesis methods in a multichannel optical system. Aim. In this paper, we consider a phase synchronization method without a reference beam for a coherent addition system with active feedback, which is based on the Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm. This algorithm makes it possible to reconstruct complex field amplitudes in the aperture and focal planes from intensity distributions in these fields. The application of this algorithm for multichannel systems is analyzed and its features, such as the occurrence of stagnation and ambiguity of the solution, are revealed. Methods. Solutions are proposed to eliminate the problem of convergence of the algorithm to side solutions and getting the iterative procedure into the local extremum using global optimization algorithms, methods of reducing the dimension of the problem and the introduction of antisymmetric amplitude modulation. Results. The paper demonstrates the results of phase field reconstruction for a large number of optical sources. For a seven-aperture system, a physical simulation was performed to restore phase information, confirming the results of numerical modeling. Conclusion. The proposed approach is a reasonable alternative to currently existing methods and can be used in the problem of coherent addition in multichannel optical systems.

Abstract

Background. For further development of communication networks, it is planned to use hybrid satellite networks for traffic transmission. However, satellite communication channels have features such as distortion caused by the Doppler effect and increased energy efficiency requirements. Aim of this study is to analyze variants of orthogonal frequency multiplexing methods and modulation methods in order to choose the most stable technology, taking into account destabilizing factors. Method. Comparing different signal processing technologies and studying their resistance to bit errors is the imitation modeling of the communication channel in the Matlab environment. This approach allows creating a model of the communication network, taking into account the main parameters of communication channels, such as the Doppler effect, energy deficiency and destabilizing factors. Results. The distribution of the bit error coefficient for various signal processing technologies, depending on the signal-to-noise ratio, is compared. The method of frequency multiplexing is defined, providing the minimum peak factor and the most resistant to bit error. It is also noted that the effectiveness of all the studied technologies depends on the spacing and modulation constellations, and that it is necessary to adjust the characteristics of the system for each case. Conclusion. The results of this study can be used to improve the quality of communication in difficult interference conditions of hybrid mobile networks of 5 and 6 generations using the satellite segment.

Electrodynamic analysis of a sinusoidal antenna for small wave sizes

Tabakov D.P., Zondai W.J.

Abstract

Background. The work is aimed at developing and researching rigorous methods for calculating thin-wire structures with a complex generatrix shape, having small wave sizes, as well as studying the physical processes occurring in them. A special case of such structures is a sinusoidal antenna operating in a standing current wave mode. Aim. In progress the solution of internal and external problems of electrodynamics is carried out for a sinusoidal antenna of small wave sizes located above an infinitely extended ideal reflector. The currents on the elements of the structure are calculated, its input resistance and radiation characteristics are determined. Methods. The research is based on a strict electrodynamic approach, within the framework of which, for the specified structure in the thin-wire approximation, an integral representation of the electromagnetic field is formed, which, when considered on the surface of conductors together with boundary conditions, is reduced to a system of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, written relative to unknown current distributions on conductors (internal task). Results. A mathematical model of the radiating structure is proposed, determined: the input resistance of the structure and the basic characteristics of its radiation. It is shown that the operating range of a sinusoidal antenna in the standing wave mode is determined by the quality factor of the input impedance resonances; An increase in the width of the sinusoidal conductor leads to a decrease in the resonant frequencies of the input resistance with a simultaneous increase in the quality factor of the resonances. Conclusion. From a practical point of view, the use of the considered structure allows significantly reduce the dimensions in comparison with a thin electric vibrator, however in this case, the operating range will be correspondingly narrowed, which is determined, due to the weak dependence of the radiation characteristics on frequency, by the quality factor of the resonances. The current distribution on the generatrix of the structure can be considered as a «projection» standing surface wave localized in the plane of a sinusoidal conductor, and resulting from the superposition of forward and backward surface (slow) waves propagating at a speed significantly lower than the speed of light. To further clarify the physics of the processes occurring in the structure, one should use spectral analysis of current functions and study the distributions of the electromagnetic field in the near zone of the structure.

Osipov O.V., Panin D.N., Semenov E.S., Tsilimbaev N.A.

Abstract

Background. The using of mirror asymmetric chemical compounds for doping quartz makes it possible to metamaterial creation that has the chirality property. In such a compositional structure, unusual effects may arise when interacting with an optical wave. Aim. We calculate the transmission and reflection of a linearly polarized optical wave through a multilayer structure consisting of two doped quartz glasses separated by two air gaps. Methods. Based on a homogeneous mathematical model of a chiral metamaterial, taking into account the dispersion of the dielectric constant and the chirality parameter based on the matrix method, a system of linear algebraic equations is obtained for the complex reflection and transmission coefficients of an electromagnetic wave of linear polarization. Results. An analysis of the frequency and angular characteristics of the modules of the reflection and transmission coefficients was carried out at various values of the quartz doping level. It is theoretically predicted that at some wavelengths, most of the incident optical energy can be concentrated in the air gaps of the multilayer structure. Conclusion. The data obtained as a result of calculations can be used in the development of planar structures for frequency-selective concentration of energy in the visible and infrared spectrum based on quartz glasses doped with chiral chemical compounds.

Influence of atmospheric turbulence on the spectral composition of the radio signal

Klyuev D.S., Volobuev A.N., Adyshirin-Zade K.A., Antipova T.A., Aleksandrova N.N.

Abstract

Background. It is shown that it is necessary to study the effect of atmospheric turbulence on the spectral characteristics of a radio signal. Aim. The influence of atmospheric turbulence on the spectral fluctuations of the radio signal intensity and on the displacement of the spectral components of the radio signal has been studied. Methods. The research was carried out on the basis of an analysis of the relationship between two-wave and single-wave correlation ratios. Based on the solution of the differential equation for fluctuations of the eikonal amplitude of an electromagnetic wave and the use of the derived trigonometric ratio, a connection between the two-wave Fourier=spectrum and single-wave spectra is obtained. In this case, a single source of turbulence effects on the radio signal was used at the coordinate point of the radio wave propagation by introducing a new variable equal to the average value of the coordinates of the turbulence effect. To find the resulting double integral, one of the coordinates of the turbulent action is transformed into an angular variable. Results. The dependence of the relative dimensionless mean of square of the integral intensity of the radio signal fluctuations on the wave number of turbulent pulsations of the atmosphere at various displacements of the spectral wavelengths of the radio signal is found. Conclusion. It is shown that turbulence slightly distorts the spectral information essence of a propagating radio signal in various wavelength ranges.
