Parameter Estimation of Microwave Filters

Description: The focus of this thesis is on developing theories and techniques to extract lossy microwave filter parameters from data. In the literature, the Cauchy methods have been used to extract filters’ characteristic polynomials from measured scattering parameters. These methods are described and some examples are constructed to test their performance. The results suggest that the Cauchy method does not work well when the Q factors representing the loss of filters are not even. Based on some prototype… more

Electric filter with movable belt electrode

Description: A method and apparatus are disclosed for removing airborne contaminants entrained in a gas or airstream. The apparatus includes an electric filter characterized by a movable endless belt electrode, a grounded electrode, and a filter medium sandwiched therebetween. Inclusion of the movable, endless belt electrode provides the driving force for advancing the filter medium through the filter, and reduces frictional drag on the filter medium, thereby permitting a wide choice of filter medium materi… more

Particle deposition in granular media. Annual progress report

Description: Studies performed under Contract DE-AC02-79-ER10386.A000 Particle Deposition in Granular Media during the period June 1, 1979 to date are described. These studies include the design and construction of apparatus for filtration experiments and a complete trajectory analysis for the calculation of the initial collection efficiency of granular media. The results of the trajectory analysis have been used to develop a generalized correlation of the collection efficiency.

Signal enhancement by spectral equalization of high-frequency broadband signals transmitted through optical fibers

Description: A new technique is discussed for signal strength enhancement of high-frequency (>1 GHz), spectrally-broad, analog signals through 1 km of optical fiber. The conventional method for optical measurement of high-frequency gamma ray signals is to use an optical fiber placed in the gamma radiation beam as a Cerenkov transducer. The radiation-induced optical signal is degraded by material dispersion in transmission through the fiber. To reconstruct the signal (which is carried by each wavelength) and… more

Bias and self-bias of magnetic macroparticle filters for cathodic arc plasmas

Description: Curved magnetic filters are often used for the removal of macroparticles from cathodic arc plasmas. This study addresses the need to further reduce losses and improving plasma throughput. The central figure of merit is the system coefficient Kappa defined as filtered ion current normalized by the plasma-producing arc current. The coefficient Kappa is investigated as a function of DC and pulsed magnetic field operation, magnetic field strength, external electric bias, and arc amplitude. It incre… more

A Study of Efficiencies and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Air-Filtering Media

Description: Removal of particles from air is discussed in terms of three classes of filtering media--air-sampling, respirator, and air-cleaning. Plots of efficiency versus filtering velocity are presented. The pressure drop characteristics of the filters are discussed in terms of initial pressure drops of the clean filters, variations in pressure drop of the individual filters, and comparison of loading rates.

Standleg Moving Granular Bed Filter development program

Description: The design, fabrication, and installation of the cold flow test facility has been completed. The SMGBF test facility shown in Figure 2 consists of a solids feed hopper, a transparent test vessel, a screw conveyor, a 55-gal drum for solids storage, a dust feeder, a baghouse filter, and the associated instrumentation for flow and pressure control and measurement. The standleg is 11-in ID by 3-ft long, and also transparent to facilitate observation. The crushed acrylic particles of characteristics… more

Moving Granular Bed Filter Development Program

Description: The granular bed filter was developed through low pressure, high temperature (1600[degrees]F) testing in the late 1970's and early 1980's'. Collection efficiencies over 99% were obtained. In 1988, high pressure, high temperature testing was completed at New York University, Westbury, N.Y., utilizing a coal-fired pressurized, fluidized bed combustor. High particulate removal efficiencies were confirmed as it was shown that both New Source Performance Standards and turbine tolerance limits could … more

In situ testing of tandem HEPA filter installations with a laser single particle spectrometer system

Description: System components and methodology for in place testing of tandem HEPA filters are described. The system consists of a very high volume thermal DOP generator for producing sufficient challenge aerosol, a single particle intra-cavity laser particle spectrometer for high sensitivity detection, a forward light scattering photometer to measure challenge aerosol concentration, and a diluter to interface the spectrometer and photometer measurements. Results of the measurements on 11 tandem HEPA instal… more
