Claims15
A wave launcher arranged to emit two or more modes of propagating waves for observation at a predetermined distance from the wave launcher, comprising:
- a pulse generator configured to generate a pulse;
- a waveguide including an elongated member and an aperture plane at an end of the waveguide;
- and
- a plurality of antennas, each of the plurality of antennas being positioned within the waveguide at a different distance from the aperture plane and arranged such that each of the plurality of antennas is capable of emitting a different mode or a different superposition of modes of propagating wave from the aperture end of the waveguide when excited by the pulse.
A wave launcher arranged to emit two or more modes of propagating waves for observation at a predetermined distance from the wave launcher, comprising:
- a pulse generator configured to generate a pulse;
- a wave guide including an elongated member with an aperture plane located at an end of the waveguide;
- an antenna positioned within the waveguide at a distance from the aperture plane and arranged such that the antenna is capable of emitting electromagnetic energy to the aperture end of the waveguide when excited the pulse;
- and
- a step stage section located adjacent the aperture plane of the waveguide, the step stage section comprising two or more dielectric step stage elements capable of exciting two or more modes of propagating waves from the wave launcher in response to the emitted electromagnetic energy from the antenna.
A wave launcher arranged to emit two or more modes of propagating waves for observation of a localized wave peak at a predetermined distance from the wave launcher, comprising:
- a pulse generator configured to generate a pulse;
- a wave guide including an elongated member with an aperture plane located at an end of the waveguide;
- an antenna positioned within the waveguide at a distance from the aperture plane and arranged such that the antenna is capable of emitting electromagnetic energy to the aperture end of the waveguide when excited the pulse;
- and
- a corrugated section located within the wave guide, the corrugated section being capable of exciting two or more modes of propagating waves from the wave launcher in response to the emitted electromagnetic energy from the antenna.
