Comments Regarding
my Electromagnetic Wave Propagation and Microwave Design and Analysis Work:
-
- I have been generally interested in this field of work since boyhood.
I was a radio ham operator in high school and planned to become a satellite
communications engineer in college. As it happens, I ended up getting swooped
off to do equally interesting work in biomedical engineering instead.
-
- Fortunately, my twenty-five years of experience in
acoustics and ultrasound
turned out to be very helpful when I got into microwave engineering a few
years back. Everything in both disciplines eventually boils done to wave
propagation. If you know one discipline well ... you actually already
know a lot about the other.
-
- Anyway, I got into microwave
measurement systems in order to see if I could develop a
non-contacting sensor that would be responsive to the conductivity of
variably doped porous
silicon wafers and variably conducting electrolyte solutions. I set up a microwave lab with all manner of signal
generators, power meters, directional couplers and a vector network
analyzer. Using this equipment, I made a variety of useful
measurements and developed practical methods.
-
- While I was at it, I started to
develop experience using finite element analysis ( FEA ) to guide my
experimental work. I then completed and used many numerical models.
