Planet Ocean Ltd Introduces: the Radac Waveguide Radar PLANET OCEAN LTD INTRODUCES: THE RADAC WAVEGUIDE RADAR Described by the European Commission in 2008 as 'the energy of the future', the re- sulting growth in the offshore wind industry helps to ensure security in Europe’s future energy and a transition into a low carbon economy. Weather however remains a major risk to offshore operations and knowledge of site conditions assists in determining the optimum times during which certain procedures can be performed safely. While ad- vances in technology and industry maturity will make offshore wind an increasingly attractive investment, the industry is always in need for solutions which reduce costs and increase operational efficiency. Since 1996, RADAC has therefore been developing the WaveGuide: a very accurate radar based system to measure the sea state, vital in planning operational and development activities in the offshore environments. Wave and tide data are of great importance during all stages of offshore wind farm development and operation as well as many other sectors. Vessels, such as those used for jacking operations, crane operations and towing, rely on real-time wave data. Their operations are typically limited by a maxi- mum wave height of two meters or less. Therefore reliable and real-time data are essential for maximised exploitation of weather windows and improved safety during these offshore activities. From the development phase onwards, wave data is required to calculate the wave load in order to define the requirements of the platform design. In addition, during its operational life, the actual wave climate is monitored to validate the expected endurance models and justify the lengthening or shortening head and which facilitates commissioning, remote servicing, for the platforms lifetime.

  • High Gain Slotted Waveguide Antenna Based on Beam Focusing Using Electrically Split Ring Resonator Metasurface Employing Negative Refractive Index Medium
    Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 79, 115–126, 2017 High Gain Slotted Waveguide Antenna Based on Beam Focusing Using Electrically Split Ring Resonator Metasurface Employing Negative Refractive Index Medium Adel A. A. Abdelrehim and Hooshang Ghafouri-Shiraz* Abstract—In this paper, a new high performance slotted waveguide antenna incorporated with negative refractive index metamaterial structure is proposed, designed and experimentally demonstrated. The metamaterial structure is constructed from a multilayer two-directional structure of electrically split ring resonator which exhibits negative refractive index in direction of the radiated wave propagation when it is placed in front of the slotted waveguide antenna. As a result, the radiation beams of the slotted waveguide antenna are focused in both E and H planes, and hence the directivity and the gain are improved, while the beam area is reduced. The proposed antenna and the metamaterial structure operating at 10 GHz are designed, optimized and numerically simulated by using CST software. The effective parameters of the eSRR structure are extracted by Nicolson Ross Weir (NRW) algorithm from the s-parameters. For experimental verification, a proposed antenna operating at 10 GHz is fabricated using both wet etching microwave integrated circuit technique (for the metamaterial structure) and milling technique (for the slotted waveguide antenna). The measurements are carried out in an anechoic chamber. The measured results show that the E plane gain of the proposed slotted waveguide antenna is improved from 6.5 dB to 11 dB as compared to the conventional slotted waveguide antenna. Also, the E plane beamwidth is reduced from 94.1 degrees to about 50 degrees.

  • Waveguides Waveguides, Like Transmission Lines, Are Structures Used to Guide Electromagnetic Waves from Point to Point. However
    Waveguides Waveguides, like transmission lines, are structures used to guide electromagnetic waves from point to point. However, the fundamental characteristics of waveguide and transmission line waves (modes) are quite different. The differences in these modes result from the basic differences in geometry for a transmission line and a waveguide. Waveguides can be generally classified as either metal waveguides or dielectric waveguides. Metal waveguides normally take the form of an enclosed conducting metal pipe. The waves propagating inside the metal waveguide may be characterized by reflections from the conducting walls. The dielectric waveguide consists of dielectrics only and employs reflections from dielectric interfaces to propagate the electromagnetic wave along the waveguide.

Balabukha Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electromagnetics of Russian Academy of Sciences (ITAE RAS) Izhorskaya 13, Moscow 125412, Russia Abstract| The idea to inverse the radiation pattern of the microwave antenna due to appli- cation of the isotropic metamaterial screen with negative refractive index in S band is demon- strated at the ¯rst time in this investigation. The electromagnetic simulation of waveguide antenna patterns by moment's methods demonstrates an agreement modeling antenna patterns with measured antenna diagrams for values of metamaterial e®ective parameters (permittivity and permeability) extracted from measured S-parameters of metamaterial sheet sample. 1. INTRODUCTION The prediction of left handed materials (LHM) by V. G. Veselago in 1967 [1] can be considered as a new stage in the development of electromagnetics of continuous media. Recently a lot of papers [2, 3] related to the arti¯cial magnetoelectric media with anomalous electromagnetic properties have been appeared. Among these papers there are ones on 2-D, 3-D media with the negative permittivity and permeability [4, 5] and, hence, negative refractive index. The abnormal antenna patterns of a rectangular open waveguide loaded by a rectangular cross-section magnetoelectric tube made of the metamaterial with the negative refractive index in S frequency band for di®erent thicknesses of tube are demonstrated at ¯rst in this paper. 2.
