Ka-band Coaxial Horn Filtenna for Enhanced Electromagnetic Compatibility on Spacecraft
No full textCoexistence of wireless data links and radio sensing instruments onboard scientific satellites renews challenges concerning electromagnetic compatibility. Integration of filtering functions into the downlink antenna offers a space-effective way to improve isolation by suppressing out-of-band emissions. The present manuscript describes a filtenna design based on insertion of radial stubs into a coaxial horn and provides simulated results validating the principle

Circularly Polarized Coaxial Horn Filtenna for Electromagnetic Interference Mitigation
No full textThis article describes the design of a circularly polarized filtenna based on the insertion of radial stubs into a coaxial horn antenna. These stubs can be placed into the horn body or in the coaxial core, both cases are analyzed in this article. The radial stubs create transmission zeros (TZs) at their resonant frequency producing a stopband filter and preserving the polarization. This solution allows to integrate a filter function into the horn flare, so there is no need for additional space for the placement of an external filter. The gain of the filtenna in the passband is comparable with the gain of a standard horn with the same dimensions. For the chosen use case, the filtenna enables transmission to the ground of scientific data in the passband frequency range and minimizes interference with measurement equipment working in the stopband frequency range. A prototype has been manufactured and its measurements are in accordance with the simulations, validating the design principle
Fundamental issues in antenna design for microwave medical imaging applications
No full textThis paper surveys the development of microwave medical imaging and the fundamental challenges associated with microwave antennas design for medical imaging applications. Different microwave antennas used in medical imaging applications such as monopoles, bow-tie, vivaldi and pyramidal horn antennas are discussed. The challenges faced when the latter used in medical imaging environment are detailed. The paper provides the possible solutions for the challenges at hand and also provides insight into the modelling work which will help the microwave engineering community to understand the behaviour of the microwave antennas in coupling media

Gunther Schuller, his influence on the French horn
No full textGunther Schuller is presently one of America's most influential music personalities. As one colleague of Schuller's at the New England Conservatory has written, "In many ways, Gunther Schuller is a modern incarnation of the renaissance man, with his interests and abilities flowing from him like ripples in a pond."1 Schuller, in his six decades, has been one of the nation's first-rate orchestral horn players and has participated in the instrument's introduction into the jazz medium; his interest in musicological research has encompassed the study of various types of music and resulted in Early Jazz: Its Roots and Musical Development, 2 considered by some to be "the definitive musicological treatment of jazz history . . ..”3 Schuller is also recognized as a leading contemporary composer and conductor, former composition instructor and long-time artistic co-director of the annual summer Tanglewood Festival, and teacher, authority, and author on horn playing.The dissertation traces Schuller's varied career, giving particular attention to his phenomenal success as a virtuoso of the French horn by age seventeen. The study also details his development as a composer, concentrating primarily on his compositional style as revealed in the works for horn as a solo and chamber music instrument. Among the works discussed are the horn concertos, the woodwind suite and brass quintet, Lines and Contrasts for sixteen horns, and Five Pieces for Five Horns. Included in the discussion is his unpublished and virtually unknown first Horn Concerto, which was written (and performed only once) by the composer while he was first horn in the Cincinnati Symphony. For the research, a copy of the manuscript was provided by the composer. (To date, the only published remnant is an arrangement of the second movement entitled Nocturne for horn and piano.)The dissertation examines Schuller's ideas concerning the "art" of modern horn playing through a discussion of his writings (Horn Technique), his musical studies (Studies for Unaccompanied Horn and Duets for Unaccompanied Horns), and through the observations of colleagues and former students. Fortunately, some of Schuller's well-articulated thoughts on musicianship in general and horn playing specifically have been retained in the tapes of the Sixth Annual International Horn Workshop, held at Ball State University in 1974. These are transcribed and included in the Appendix.In summary, the research is in three major sections. The first deals with biographical information-- Schuller's various careers, a survey of his compositions and writings, and a discussion and evaluation of his playing career based on information from his colleagues, recordings, and reviews. Section two examines the composer’s style and his influence on the instrument’s technique through a detailed study of the solo and chamber works for horn. Part three concerns his pedagogical and philosophical ideas regarding music education, with particular attention to the horn and horn playing.1.
