Abstract:
In this paper, we present a new structure cathode named co-axis double annulus cathode. By modeling and solving the Laplace equation, we get the accurate distribution of potential in the diode, through which we have the connection of parameters to get the double annulus cathode emissions simultaneously. The CHIPIC particle-in-cell software was used to a simulate the electrons explosive emission of the double annulus cathode with appropriate parameters. The result verifies that, the emitting current density of the double annulus cathode is determined by both the original E-field distribution in the diode and the screening effect between two cathodes. The screening effect factor of one cathode has a linear relationship with the beam emitted from the other cathode and an exponential relationship with the distance between the two cathodes.

Abstract:
This paper presents a method for design a suitable two stage depressed collector of X band large duty ratio coupled-cavity traveling wave tube (CC-TWT). The axial, radial velocities and radius of 96 electron trajectories in the output potion of this TWT were simulated and analyzed by 2.5 dimensional interaction package owned by 772nd factory.

2017, 29: 103201. doi: 10.11884/HPLPB201729.170187
Abstract:
Frequency sweep jamming is one of the main threats to the current frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radio fuze while its jamming probability has certain randomness. To improve the jamming performance, an optimized narrow-band sweep jamming approach for single-channel FMCW Doppler radio fuze is proposed based on the analysis of the corresponding failure mechanism of the FMCW fuze. This approach is an unequal-interval frequency sweep jamming with optimized stepped-frequency points. The simulation and measurement results show that this approach enhances the effect of sweep jamming, and it also provides a reference to the design of jamming scheme for the FMCW fuze with multiple-channels or some other anti-jamming measures.

2017, 29: 103203. doi: 10.11884/HPLPB201729.170094
Abstract:
The effect of the high-altitude nuclear explosion pulse on cable above ground is studied. Considering the effect of ground, Time Domain Integral Equation(TDIE) combined with reflection coefficient method are proposed to solve the transient current of the cable above ground. The time domain reflections of electromagnetic waves from half-space are obtained by eigenmodes method. The exact solution of time reflection coefficient could be obtained without calculating the infinite term of the Bessel function. Finally, the simulation results of the current induced by the cable above the ground are given. The results show that the reflection field always tries to cancel the incident field when the reflection pulse reaches the horizontal cable, the induced current on the cable is less than that only considering the incident pulse. The coupling current of the cable varies significantly with the height above ground, the overhead cable has a larger coupling current compared to the ground cable.

Abstract:
The weighted nonlinear least squares iterative fitting method is an important method to solve the -particle spectra. The appropriate spectrum peak shape function model and the initial values of the parameters are the key to the nonlinear least squares iterative fitting. Based on the shaping mechanism of -ray spectrum, a kind of -ray spectrum peak shape function was established, and the method of determining the initial values of the peak shape function based on the moment estimation was proposed. The mathematical statistics, the mean, variance and third-order central moments of the peak shape function and the discrete spectral peak data were calculated respectively. The initial values of the parameters were obtained by the established equations. The radon daughters alpha spectra detected by a continuous aerosol detector and 238Pu surface-source -energy spectra detected by a low-background -ray spectrometer were used to test the peak shape function model and the initial values acquisition method. The results show that the peak shape function model can be well applied from high-degree overlapping to low-degree overlapping. The initial values of the parameters of the peak shape function obtained by the moment estimation method can make the peak shape function well fit the alpha spectrum data. The method has strong practicability in the computer automatic analysis of alpha spectrum.

Abstract:
Laser surface melting technology can effectively reduce nano optical waveguide sidewall roughness for scattering loss reduction. To clarify the temperature field evolution law of KrF excimer laser surface melting on waveguide sidewall, a two dimensional finite element numerical model is established, which has taken into account the effects of temperature dependences of material parameters and latent heat. Several investigations have been made about the relationships between the carry behavior forward of melting pool boundary and different processing parameters. Simulation results indicate that melting pool begins developing in the corner between the upper surface of waveguide and the laser-facing sidewall surface. At a given laser incidence angle, the depth of melting pool is correlated positively with the average energy density. Melting pool shape is mainly controlled by laser incident angle: with the decreasing incidence angle, the melting pool appears firstly single-edge U-shaped, then single-edge V-shaped, and finally single-edge V-shaped with an obtuse angle. Analysis shows that melting pool shape induced by a larger laser incidence angle is more favourable to the finishing process of waveguide sidewall. On this basis, a new process method is proposed for determinating laser incident angle to optimize the shapes of melting pool and then selecting the appropriate laser energy density to obtain sufficient melting depth.

Abstract:
In order to ensure the normal operation of mobile devices in the Wi-Fi band without interference from adjacent frequency bands, a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter for the Wi-Fi 802.11b band (2401-2482 MHz) is designed. An initial structure ladder filter based on a one-dimensional Mason equivalent circuit model using thin-film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) is designed. The resonance area value of series FBARs and the ratio of resonance area value of parallel FBARs to series FBARs were made into two types of optimization parameters reasonably. Using the required insertion loss and out of band rejection of filter as the optimization objectives, the optimized values were obtained by the algorithm based on gradient and genetics in ADS software. In order to make the simulation results more accurate, the combined acoustic-electromagnetic method is used to simulate and compare with the simulation results of the Mason equivalent circuit model in the filter design process. The results show that the performance of the filter is decreased, with 1.6 dB insertion loss increase and 1.1 dB ripple increase, while out of band rejection is basically the same. The designed Wi-Fi band BAW filter has low insertion loss (less than 3 dB) and high out of band rejection (more than 40 dB) performance.

Abstract:
The electromagnetic driven solid liner implosion is one of the high energy density (HEDP) experimental techniques. Some drivers have been constructed in the past years, these drivers are varied in peak current and current rise time.

The results indicate that drivers with current rise time above 2 microsecond would be appropriate for solid liner implosion experiment. The analysis also lays the theoretical foundation for the future design of high capacity drivers used for solid liner implosion experiment.

Abstract:
For critical nuclear cases including radioactive material leakage, illegal freight of special nuclear material, this paper proposes a research on an energy spectrometer with neutron/gamma discrimination via a single probe to achieve detection and monitor of special nuclear materials and radioactive materials. Several difficult research points have been triggered and expanded to tackle the challenging studies on FPGA and EJ299-33A including the data acquisition circuit design of nuclear pulses, nuclear signal process, pulse discrimination and offline analysis of energy spectra.

Abstract:
The research and testing technique of friction sensor is an important support for hypersonic aircraft. Compared with the conventional skin friction sensor, the micro shear stress sensor has the advantages of small size, high sensitivity, good stability, and good dynamic response. The micro shear stress sensor can be integrated with other flow field sensors whose process is compatible with that of the micro shear stress sensor to achieve multi-physical measurement of the flow field; and the micro-friction balance sensor array enables large area and accurate measurement for the near-wall flow. A micro shear stress sensor structure is proposed, whose sensing element does not directly contact with the flow field. The MEMS fabrication process of the sensing element is described in detail. The thermal silicon oxide is used as the mask to solve the selection ratio problem of silicon deep reactive ion etching(DRIE). The optimized process parameters of DRIE are etching power 1600 W/LF power 100 W, SF6 flux 360 cm3/min, C4F8 flux 300 cm3/min, O2 flux 300 cm3/min. With Cr/Au mask, etching depth of glass shallow groove can be controlled at 30 ℃ and low concentration HF solution; spray etching and wafer rotating improve the corrosion surface quality of glass shallow groove. The micro shear stress sensor samples were fabricated by the above MEMS process, and results show that the error of the length and width of the elastic cantilever is within 2 m, the depth error of the shallow groove is less than 0.03 m, and the static capacitance error is within 0.2 pF, which satisfy the design requirements.

2017, 29: 104101. doi: 10.11884/HPLPB201729.170113
Abstract:
The resonant sensors based on aluminum nitride double-ended tuning fork (AlN DETF) have the characteristics of small size, good stability and reliability, and fast response. In order to improve the sensitivity and resolution, it is necessary to analyze the influence of the structure parameters of vibrating beam on the sensitivity and signal power of AlN resonator. The multi-physics model of AlN DETF resonator was established to verify effect of single parameter on the sensitivity by pre-stressed eigenfrequency analysis. The relationships between signal power and length, width of vibrating beam were obtained by post-processing data of simulation results when the thickness remained constant. The results show that relative sensitivity and signal power are growing in opposite directions with the width or the length of the beam. Therefore, there is a design tradeoff between signal power and relative sensitivity of AlN resonator according to process and structure strength. The optimized AlN DETF resonator was simulated, and its sensitivity, signal power and Q value are 56 Hz/N, 6.810-4 nW and 958, respectively.
