Low-Power Testing of Losses in Millimeter-Wave Transmission Lines for High-Power Applications

Abstract: We report the measurement of small losses in transmission line (TL) components intended for high-power millimeter-wave applications. Measurements were made using two different low-power techniques: a coherent technique using a vector network analyzer (VNA) and an incoherent technique using a radiometer. The measured loss in a 140 GHz 12.7 mm diameter TL system, consisting of 1.7 m of circular corrugated waveguide and three miter bends, is dominated by the miter bend loss. The measured loss was 0.3±0.1 dB per m… Show more

“…Longer MMWs would remove this limitation because small particle Rayleigh scattering losses scale as 1/λ 4 . Furthermore, MMW sources are more efficient and have higher average power relative to lasers [11,12] and can be efficiently guided as a beam over long distances [13] compatible with borehole dimensions. This suggests the economic possibility of completely vaporizing rock to facilitate extraction as a nanoparticle particle smoke.…”
