Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Distance Measurement by Means of a Groove Guide Oscillator(Electromagnetics Academy, 2009) Bechteler, Thomas F.; Aydınlık Bechteler, Ayşe SevinçIn this work, a system for measuring the distance between two metallic plates is presented. A groove guide resonator operating in the X-band with an incorporated Gunn element serves as the distance sensor. According to the distance between the two metallic plates, the resonant frequencies of the groove guide oscillator change. In a first step, the fundamental resonant frequency of the groove guide oscillator at various distances is computed by means of the FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) method. In a second step, the resonant frequencies of the realized groove guide oscillator were measured. Although the signal's wavelength is about 30 mm, the resolution of the measurement is in the sub-millimeter level, i.e., about 25 mu m. Furthermore, in case of distance variations, even within a short time, the system is able to track distance variations nearly instantaneously. The resonant frequency information is processed using a heterodyne system.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Analysis of Excitations for a Groove Guide Resonator at 10 Ghz by Means of the Fdtd Method(Springer Verlag, 2005) Bechteler, Thomas F.Various excitations of a new groove guide resonator working in the X-band (8 GHz - 12 GHz) are investigated by means of numerical simulations. For the numerical simulations the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method is used. The groove guide resonator, modelled both with and without excitation structures, is discretised in space. The results in the time domain are then transformed into the frequency domain in order to obtain the resonance frequency spectrum. Comparison between simulations with and without excitations shows the effect of the excitations on the resonance frequency spectrum. The results are compared with those of previous analytical methods.
