[ Abstract] Readout of radio signals from a photodetector at the carrier fre-
quency in SAW devices by means of a stationary diffraction grating and a light
beam is analyzed. The light beam propagates along the surface through an opti-
cal waveguide. The main advantage of a surface waveguide over a volume wave-
guide is a larger depth of space-phase modulation and thus a higher signal
transmission coefficient, without reflections. The performance characteristics
of this indirect optical readout system, small-signal transmission coefficient
and output power, are calculated on the basis of the Raman-Hata condition for
diffraction and the photodetector current resulting from interaction of the
waveguide optical wave with the traveling surface acoustic wave and the sta-
tionary reference grating. The photodetector current has a constant component
and an alternating one. The two principal sources of noise voltage are thermal
noise in the load resistance and shot noise in the photocurrent. The performance
characteristics, signal transmission coefficient and signal-to-noise ratio, are
comparable with or better than those of readout by means of a Mach-Zander wave-
guide optical interferometer and direct readout by means of a piezoelectric
interdigital transducer. An additional advantage is the possibility of signal
amplification by the external source of the reading light beam. Figures 5 ;

[ Abstract] Quality control of television transmission in the " Moskva" system
via satellite relay and with narrow-band automatic frequency control requires
regular signal measurement at the receiver stations. These measurements must
take into account the presence of a residual FM dispersion signal, not quite
eliminated by " tying" the level of the image signal through the d.c. restorer
circuit in the video amplifier in the receiver bay. This residual dispersion
signal appears after predistortion and the automatic frequency control subse-
quently reduces the frequency deviation, but it introduces a significant error
(typically 10-18 mV) into the measurement of background interference (typically
7 mV). During measurement of the weighted noise (typically 1.5 mV) the 2.5 Hz
dispersion signal is automatically suppressed by the interference suppression
filter, but an additional filter is required for suppressing it during measure-
ment of the background interference. A special filter for this purpose has been
developed with 40 dB attentuation at 2.5 Hz, a printed-circuit active high-pass
filter with transistor amplifier stage. Figures 2; references: 3 Russian.

[ Abstract] The design of a relay circuit for phase-locked automatic frequency
control in satellite communication systems with multistation access and time
sharing is analyzed, synchronization of ground stations being achieved by tying
the time bases of all local stations to that of one master station. The per-
formance of the phase detector in such an automatic control system is largely
affected by the time delay which the satellite transmission line inserts into
the feedback loop. Calculations are based on a mathematical model of a phase
detector which produces a signal determined by the sign of the error signal but
carrying no information about the magnitude and the rate of change of the error
signal. For solving the closed-loop equation, first the open loop differential
equation describing the dependence of output signal on error signal is solved.
This is done most expediently by reducing this equation to a system of two
linear differential ones. The initial conditions for the steady-state process
are not randomly selected but follow from the closed-loop equation. A periodic
steady-state process in such a control system with relay characteristic consists
of three stages per cycle, the second and third stage corresponding respectively
to the negative and positive half-period of the error signal when readout is
set to begin before the following cycle begins. For calculation of the transient
process, the simultaneous solution of the aforementioned system of two equations
continues beyond the first cycle till the results begin to repeat themselves.
The design and review procedure is demonstrated on an astatic filter for phase-
locked automatic frequency control. The results indicate that phse detectors
with relay characteristic and oscillators with discrete phase control are suit-
able for multistation time-division satellite communication systems. Figures

[ Abstract] A cylindrical wave impinges from a vacuum on an unbounded ellipti-
cal cylinder having large electrical dimensions. The field scattered by the
cylinder is represented as the sum of the field reflected in accordance with
geometric optics and the diffraction field itself. The latter is represented
in the form of the superimposition of the fields of the diffraction modes
directed by the cylinder surface. Expressions are written for the field com-
ponents of the individual diffraction modes. It is assumed that the radius of
curvature of the directing surface and the cylinder impedance are slowly changing
functions of one of the elliptical coordinates within the scale of the diffrac-
tion mode wave-length. Two specific forms of the impedance as a function of
this elliptical angular coordinate are analyzed, which make it possible to as-
certain particular features of the diffraction of electromagnetic waves at
smooth objects. For lower values of the impedance, a rigorous solution is
possible by the separation of variables, where the resulting formula describes
the field of a quasi-surface wave throughout all space. For large values of the
impedance, the quasi-surface wave becomes greatly compressed. The value of the
impedance can be chosen so that the results of the quasi-optical approximation
remain applicable to the quasi-static case. References: 4 Russian

[ Abstract] Experiments to determine the fine structure of a region of the iono-
sphere based on backscatter signals were conducted during August and September
of 1980 on a midlatitude path. The ionosphere was heated by means of a 15 0 KW
transmitter operating at 4.6 and 5 .7 5 MHz, with an antenna directional gain of
100. The transmitter cycled with a CW transmission for 5 minutes followed by
a 5 minute pause. The artificial ionospheric perturbation was observed at a
point 1,300 km from the transmitter. The instrumentation measured the signal
levels in the shortwave band for 10 different azimuths simultaneously. The
overall viewing sector was 60 in azimuth. The sessions ran from 20:00 to
4:00 hrs Moscow time. The scattering cross-section in dB was measured as a
function of frequency while observing the backscatter signal and this signal
amplitude had reached the steady-state level, approximately one minute after
the start of the heating. The scatter cross-section was practically constant
during the observations and was independent of the heating frequency. The
ultimate backscatter signal observation frequency followed the regular varia-
tions in the F layer MUF (maximum usable frequency) in the region of the arti-
ficial inhomogeneity. However, it was 2 to 3 MHz higher than the F
2
MUF. The
recording of backscatter signals using oblique sounding in an artificially
heated region can be used to determine the parameters of small scale inhomo-
geneities which occur when high power radio waves act on the ionosphere and to
select the optimal conditions for the study of the impact of artificial dis-^
turbances on ionospheric propagation. Figures 3; references: 3 Russian.

DETERMINATION OF ATTENUATION OF VISIBLE, INFRARED AND MILLIMETER WAVES IN CLOUDS
USING METEOROLOGICAL MODELS

pletion 7 Jan 83) pp 21-27
BISYARIN, V.P.
[ Abstract] The attentuation of radiation propagating through clouds is governed
by the form of the distribution function of the particle size, the shape of the
particles and their internal structure, the temperature and phase composition
of the cloud, the overall refraction index of the particles and the water content
or the concentration of the particles as well as their geometric dimensions.
The statistics of these parameters are studied in order to substantiate meteoro-
logical models for stratus and cumulus clouds which make the greatest contribu-
tion to attenuation. Bulk attentuation factors are calculated using a one-time
scattering approximation with the models adopted in this paper; the figures are
compared with experimental data for visible and infrared wavelengths. An experi-
mental check of the proposed procedure for estimating the overall attentuation
is difficult in the visible and IR spectrum because of the considerable optical
thicknesses and multiple scattering. Millimeter wavelength data are used to
show that the model calculation for cumulus clouds is in good agreement with
experiment, while the calculated attenuation in stratus is only of the same
order of magnitude. The analysis of the experimental data on the size and water
content of droplets shows that the clouds responsible for the greatest atten-
uation can be described by three microstructural models, where the water content
is a linear function of the altitude above the base of the cloud. The per unit
length attentuation factors for visible (0.63 micrometer) and infrared (10.6
micrometer) wavelengths calculated from the models are in satisfactory agree-
ment with the cloud attenuation data from aircraft and high mountain path
measurements. Figures 3; tables 4; references 17 : 13 Russian; 4 Western.

[ Abstract] The problem of axisymmetric oscillation modes in spherical open di-

tion. The spectrum of natural modes is determined from the characteristic
equation and the condition of continuity for the tangential field components
at the resonator surface, with expansion into oblate radial spheroidal functions
of the first kind (inside) and of the fourth kind (outside). The results are
compared with those for a sphere, a circular cylinder, and a plane-parallel
layer as limiting figures into which an ellipsoid degenerates. A numerical
solution has been obtained for the case of infinite dielectric perimittivity,
the result being usable, with sufficient accuracy, for practical cases of high

OPTIMIZED PROCESSING OF OPTICAL SIGNALS FOR NONCOHERENT DETECTION
received 16 Feb 82) pp 931-942
BAKUT, P.A., LOGINOV, V.A. and MAYSTRENKO, G.I.
[ Abstract] Direct or noncoherent detection of semicoherent optical signals is
considered from the standpoint of the radar problem of maximizing the signal-
to-noise ratio at the receiver output. The probing radiation is assumed to
propagate as a light beam coherent in space and as a light pulse semicoherent
in time, noncoherence in time being caused by longitudinal modes of optical
radiation. Signal distortion in the atmopshere is taken into account, but
amplitude fluctuations of the reflected field are assumed to be the same at all
points of the receiver aperture so that the amplitude itself can be regarded
as a nonrandom quantity. The signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver output is
calculated for a receiver structure consisting of an inertialess phase detector
preceded by an optical filter with a space filter behind and followed by a low-
pass filter. The predetection amplification is also assumed to be a nonrandom
process, with negligible transients. The parameters of the receiver components
and thus the processing of signals are optimized for a maximum signal-to-noise
ratio, assuming external factors such as signal level and ambient noise as well
as probing signal characteristics and distortions by the atmosphere to be fixed.
The conditions for optimum space processing and for optimum time processing are
established separately, the former achievable by means of a focusing lens and
the latter achievable by matching the postdetection filter either with the
modulus of the signal envelope (behind the optical filter) squared in the case
of a perfectly coherent signal or with the convolution of that modulus squared
and the pulse response of the high-frequency filter squared in the case of a
strongly noncoherent signal. Optimality of the postdetection filter is not
very critical, inasmuch as an appreciable decrease of the signal-to-noise ratio
results only from a large mismatch between the passband of the predetection
filter and the spectral width of the incoming signal or between the passband
of the postdetection filter and the band of the video pulse behind the optical
filter. Figures 1; tables 3; references 8: 7 Russian, 1 Western in translation.

BUROV, V.A., DMITRIYEV, O.V. and TUYKIN, O.R.
[ Abstract] Concurrent optimization of transmission and reception channels in
a radar system is treated as a problem of selection of the signal to match two
linear scattering operators. One operator (S) is sought in the algorithm of
signal processing, the other one (R) is the interference operator. The
optimum processing algorithm is constructed according to the
likelihood-ratio criterion. The optimum signal is selected .. .
so that its vector will ensure the best distribution of the
likelihood ratio (typically for maximum signal power at a fixed signifi-
cance level on the basis of L-statistics). Signal selection is particularly
important in the case of a small useful signal component at the receiver. A
practical application of this method is the case of an a priori known scattering
operator S. One can assume here an upper limit of signal power and a bounded
norm of the signal vector space, also a Gaussian distribution of signal read-
ings. The choice of signal will depend on the dominant interference mode and
its correlation matrix. When the interference is an external noise, then the
problem approaches the classical one of filter optimization for detection of
a signal with known waveform. References 6: 5 Russian, 1 Western in trans-

[ Abstract] The special case of multipath propagation where the field at the
receiver is produced by two spatial components is analyzed. These components
are the direct wave (usually, via a single skip path) and that reflected from
the moving " nightday" boundary (the terminator). The transmitter was the RVM
station of the State Time and Frequency Service located in Moscow and the signal
was received at the radio astronomy observatory in the settlement of Grakova.
The direct propagation path was approximately 640 km long. The " north-south"
antenna system of the UTR-2 radiotelescope was used to receive the 9.996 MHz
signals. The measurement technique did not allow a direct determination of the
reflection factor of the terminator, because the field incident to the night
day boundary was not known; nonetheless, it is noted that the reflected signal
level averages 10 to 15 dB lower than the direct nighttime signal, which con-
firms the conclusions that mirror reflection conditions are not met at the
terminator and the recorded field is the result of wave scattering at electron
concentration gradients and inhomogeneities in the transition region. The
doppler shift of the reflected signal frequency is plotted as a function of
observation time for the months of April and December, showing reasonable good
agreement between theory and experiment. The most frequent reliable detection
of the signal reflected from the terminator occurred at distances on the order
of 1,5 00 to 2,000 km immediately before sunrise. This is apparently related
to the change in the field incident on the terminator. Figures 3; references

KOPEYKIN, V.V., SOKOLOVSKIY, V.l. and CHERKASHIN, Yu.N.
[ Abstract] Because the stochastic equation describing radio wave propagation
in a randomly inhomogeneous ionosphere, given the condition of slow fluctua-
tions in the properties of the medium and a monochromatic source, do not have
a precise analytical solution, the Monte Carlo technique is used to estimate
the statistical characteristics of the wave field described by this equation.
The solution of the stochastic equation is reduced to the dynamics problem of
numerically calculating the wave fields for a finite number of media. The set
of properties of the random quantity are estimated from a limited sample whose
volume governs the precision of the estimates. The solution of the statistical
wave problem is broken down into three steps: 1) Generation of the realizations
of the random medium; 2) Numerical calculation of the wave field; and 3) Estima-
tion of the statistical characteristics of the field parameters. A parabolic
equation technique from diffraction theory as well as a variant of it, the so-
called beam method, are used in the calculation of the wave field. The impact
of random inhomogeneities in the ionospheric electron concentration on the
radio wave field intensity in the region of the caustic curve is evaluated; the
amplitudes of short waves at the earth were calculated for the case of propa-
gation through a single layer model of the ionosphere with normal, Poisson and
wave-type random fluctuations. The calculations were carried out for a frequency
of 15 MHz and it is shown that the regular structure of the field is destroyed
in the region of the caustic with relative fluctuations in the random component
on the order of 1 percent. The Monte Carlo calculations are in qualitative
agreement with experimental data published previously in Soviet literature.

[ Abstract] A conical log-spiral antenna is made from a wire which has sharp
angular bends in it in order to produce the log periodic meander as the wire
is helically wrapped around the expanding cone. The additional bends create
an increased internal interactive delay and it is possible to numerically de-
termine the properties of such radiators based on the amplitude-phase distribu-
tion of the current found from a solution of the integral equation for thin
conductors. This paper employs a piecewise constant approximation of the de-
sired current distribution function based on a solution of Pocklington's integral
equation to find the optimal geometric parameters of such double equal angle
conical helical antennas. The minimum and maximum values of the electrical
radius of the region of axial radiation were determined as a function of the
geometric parameters of the antennas. The number of entry turns in the spiral
should be no less than four and the particular angular dimensions are given.
This optimization makes it possible to reduce the antenna dimensions by a factor
of about 1.5 times. The author is grateful to A.V. Runov for helpful discussions

[ Abstract] The performance of a direction finder is analyzed for the case where
the polarization of incoming signals differs from the polarization of the re-
ceiver antenna. The radiation pattern of a receiver antenna in the general case
of arbitrary signal polarization is characterized by the polarization matching
factor as a function of the angular coordinate. The direction finding charac-
teristic of an amplitudinal monopulse goniometric coordinator with sum and
difference channels is calculated in these terms, its slope depending on the
polarization mismatch and being either increased or decreased by an additive
extra term which can be positive or negative. The angular error and the func-
tional limit of the goniometer are determined by this term, as shown specifically
in the case of a parabolic antenna with linear operating polarization. With
the antenna polarization in a plane typically at 45 to the principal axis, the
slope of the goniometer characteristic becomes negative and the accuracy of
source tracking becomes unacceptably low as the direction of signal source
polarization approaches the direction of cross-polarization. Theoretical
calculations and experimental data yield an approximately 5 instability
sector. Figures 4; references 19: 10 Russian, 7 Western (3 in translation).

[ Abstract] The optimal N-dimensional complex vector of the weighting function
in adaptive antenna arrays and moving target indication (MTI) systems is de-
termined as a function of the signal properties and the a priori information
on it in terms of the Hermitian covariation matrices of the interference, the
estimates of these matrices, the estimate of the (N - 1)-dimensional covariation
vector of the interference, the Hermitian covariation matrix of the signal, the
maximum eigennumber of the matrices and the N-dimensional complex signal vector.
The maximum likelihood estimate equation usually employed as the estimate of the
covariation interference matrix is adduced and is assumed to be
a greenhouse covariation matrix in this paper for two cases: 1) In adaptive MTI
systems exposed to interference which is steady-state in the estimation range,
given the condition that the samples of the observed process are taken at equal
time intervals; and 2) In adaptive linear antenna arrays with equal spacing
between the array elements. The estimate of the maximum likelihood of the
greenhouse covariation interference matrix is found which permits boosting the
effectiveness of MTI systems for a constant repetition rate of the probe signal
in these latter linear antenna arrays. The impact of the estimate convergence
rate on the efficiency of an adaptive bandstop filter which minimizes the mean
square error is also briefly evaluated. The use of the proposed estimate of
the maximum likelihood of the covariation matrix makes it possible to substanti-
ally increase the adaptation speed of MTI systems and antenna arrays, thereby
improving their effectiveness with a small teaching sample volume. Figures 2;

KINBER, B.Ye., ANYUTIN, A.P. and MARTYNOV, A.M.
[ Abstract] The method of " focusing convolution" for diagnosis of faulty elements
in phased antenna arrays on the basis of the current distribution involves meas-
urement of the field at some distance from the antenna and producing its image
by convolution of its structure and the focal spot. The distance from the plane
of the antenna to the plane of measurement must be correct, relative to the
antenna dimensions, for the necessary resolution and for revealing the vector
nature of the field. The integral equation of the first kind for diagnosis is
formulated so as to relate an arbitrary distribution of currents I(x,y,0) in
the z = 0 plane of a two-dimensional antenna array to the field E(,m>ZQ),
H(,/h, z_) these currents produce in the z = z
Q
plane of measurement. This
equation is solved approximately through convolution of the field E,H and a
scalar exponential function. The resolution is then calculated, considering
that the ultimately attainable resolution is of the order of 1/2X with the
Fourier transforms of the focusing matrix components being finite functions.
The cross-polarization in the focal plane is established and a higher resolution
is found to be achievable by increasing the collimator surface area with small
values of the weight function around its periphery. The effect of discretization
on the accuracy and the economy of measurements is determined. The minimum
distance from the antenna, preferable from that standpoint, is limited by antenna
reaction in the plane of measurement as well as by interaction of the antenna
with the measuring probe. For attainment of a given high resolution, it is
found necessary to decrease the discretization step in measurements near the
antenna but it is permissible to increase the discretization step with increasing
distance far from the antenna. Least expedient are measurements made within the
intermediate zone between the near field and the Fraunhofer region. Figures 7 ;

SENIN, A.G.
[ Abstract] The problem of synthesizing an antenna radiation pattern and opti-
mizing it for maximum signal-to-noise ratio under conditions of interference
within discrete definite space sectors, as found in radio astronomy, is solved
on the basis of the solution to a similar problem for a harmonic signal and
12
arbitrary N discrete directions of interference. The optimum space-time filter
is obtained by replacing the summation with a definite integral and aiming at
an infinitesimal intensity of interference from a given direction. The filter
function and the weight function are calculated by reduction of the correspond-
ing system of integral equations to a system of four algebraic-trigonometric
relations between coefficients and numerical evaluation of the latter. The
characteristic equation of such a filter indicates the feasibility of separate
space and time processing. The method is illustrated with a typical numerical
example of a linear antenna of relative length L/A. = 80 receiving a signal at
angle < p = 10 with interference within the 11 < 0 < 13 sector. Figures 2;

[ Abstract] Translational invariant systems are those in which a system is con-
gruent with itself when shifted through one period (periodic systems) or shifted
by any amount (homogeneous systems), or when rotationally shifted (helical).
Those systems which are congruent with themselves with a change in all dimen-
sions (scales) by some factor of " a" times are called scale-invariant. For
scale invariant systems with discrete values of " a," the smallest possible
value of " a" other than unity is called the scale factor and written in terms
of " b," where a = b
n
, n being an integer. Such systems include log-periodic
and frequency independent antennas with ultrawide bandwidths (10:1 and more).
This paper analyzes the physical picture of wave phenomena in scale-invariant
systems, which is similar in essence to that found in homogeneous and periodic
systems (e.g., the concepts of a dispersion equation, spatial harmonics, group
and phase velocity, synchronism). A general wave equation is derived in
integral form for the free waves in scale-invariant systems. There is no
dispersion equation for these systems, because the symmetry operators are not
commutative. The form of the eigenfunctions of scale-invariant systems is
found and the nucleus of the integral wave equation is related to the relevant
eigenfunctions. There is a relationship between the longitudinal structure of
the eigenfunction and the dispersion of the generating system; an explicit form
of this relationship is found for nearly homogeneous systems. The next logical
step in the extension of the theory should be the analysis of wave excitation
and the solution of the problem of wave interaction in scale-invariant systems.

STUDY OF OPEN RESONATORS WITH RECTANGULAR INHOMOGENEITIES IN THE REFLECTOR

[ Abstract] An open resonator made with two reflectors, one of which is spheri-
cal with an energy output coupling slot and the other flat, having a rectangular
notch cut in it to a depth h, with a width b and a length 1, is studied in order
to determine the Q as a function of the notch dimensions. The spherical reflec-
tor has a radius of curvature of 15 0 mm and an aperture of 85 mm. The flat
reflector is designed so that the groove dimensions can be varied over a wide
range, with three basic different cross-sections. The loaded Q was determined
based on the half-width of the resonance curve observed with a spectrum analyzer
in the 8 mm band, where the klystron was frequency modulated with a sawtooth
waveform. The three configurations were: 1) An open resonator with a rec-
tangular notch of unlimited length; 2) An open resonator with inhomogeneities
in the rectangular notch; and 3) An open resonator with a rectangular step pro-
jection. Good agreement is noted between the measured Q expressed as a function
of the groove dimensions in the flat reflector and that calculated from the
solution of the problem of H-polarized wave diffraction at a plane having the
same notch. Inhomogeneities in the notch excite an electromagnetic wave which
propagates along it, sharply reducing the resonator Q. With the appropriate
placement of several inhomogeneities, the excitation of such waves can be
avoided and the efficient functioning of local structures in an open resonator
can be assured. In these resonators, two resonance conditions should be met
simultaneously; this is accomplished by choosing the spacing between the re-
flectors and the height of the extended inhomogeneities. This makes it possible
to have a tunable open resonator with efficient filtering of longitudinal modes.

[ Abstract] Integrated optics involves the generation, propagation, control,
transformation and detection of light waves in thin film waveguides, with the
practical purpose of creating new optical devices similar in their functional
characteristics to electronic integrated circuits based on semiconductors. The
photon is the information carrier in integrated optics, which, in comparison
15
with electronic circuits, has certain advantages such as higher speed, wider
bandwidth of transmission and more noise tolerance. This article discusses
the current status of scientific research in the area of integrated optics and
elements which have been developed. Problems and prospects are briefly noted.
The possibility is mentioned of the creation of monolithic hybrid circuits in
which integrated optic elements are created from various materials on a single
substrate by planar technologies. It is thought that the replacement of much
existing optical technology and some electronic circuits with integrated optical
devices will open new possibilities for science and technology, particularly
the creation of a single system of television communications including video
telephone. Figures 3; references 32: 16 Russian, 10 Western, 4 in translation)

DESIGN OF SWITCHABLE FILTERS FOR WIDEBAND TRANSMITTERS
Moscow ELEKTROSVYAZ' in Russian No 5 , May 83 (manuscript received 4 Aug 81)
pp 21-25
BAYEVSKIY, V.Yu. and KOZYREV, V.B.
[ Abstract] Use of switchable rather than tunable filters for suppression of
higher harmonics in the load of wideband transmitters eliminates the need for
manual or automatic matched adjustment of multicomponent resonance circuits.
The output capacitance of electron devices can be assumed not to limit the
bandwidth of such filters. This applies to 30-60 MHz transistor oscillators and
to transistor oscillators with matched compensation in the collector circuit
for operation at frequencies above 60 MHz, as well as to tube oscillators with
distributed gain and output capacitance in the plate circuit. In the latter
case a filter which is also a plate load has the tube output capacitance as its
first element. Elliptical low-pass Cauer filters or " equal ripple" Chebyshev
polynomial filters are preferable to bandpass filters in terms of size and
weight minimization. The number of filters as well as their frequency-span
ratio and upper cutoff frequencies are determined by the transmitter frequency-
span ratio. The subsequent design procedure involves synthesis of an equiva-
lent driving low-frequency oscillator with attenuation characteristics and
internal resistance corresponding to the limiting performance characteristics
of the high-frequency oscillator. Elements of the filter circuit and the number
of filter sections are selected according to standard procedure, with use of
normalized frequency and loss tables. The performance of the prototype is
calculated and the design is then refined, most expediently on a computer.
Typical numerical calculations for a seventh-order low-pass Cauer filter indi-
cate that maximum current (voltage) as well as maximum reactive energy and power
loss in inductive and capacitive elements occur near the filter cutoff frequency
and can differ appreciably from one element to another. These reactive elements
must be selected on this basis and so that their Q-factor will be maximum at
the filter cutoff frequency. It is not necessary to tune such a filter in the
16
case of small power level fluctuations, but the output signal frequency must
not exceed the filter cutoff frequency lest the high-frequency oscillator cease
to operate properly and filter coils or capacitors overheat and break down.

ACTIVE MICROWAVE FILTERS ON BASIS OF TRANSISTOR-TYPE IMMITANCE TRANSFORMER
received 22 Jan 80, after correction 21 Dec 81) pp 817 -833
FILINYUK, N.A.
[ Abstract] The main advantages of active microwave filters are a lossless pass-
band and a Q-factor (relative bandwidth), independent of the geometrical dimen-
sions. One basic version of such filters includes a semiconductor device
(diode or transistor) with negative dynamic resistance, inserted into a passive
circuit. The problem here is that tunnel diodes have a low saturation level
and IMPATT diodes have a high noise level, while transistors have a limited
frequency range. The other, preferable, basic version is a generalized immitance
transformer using transistors and not requiring inductive components. The per-
formance of microwave immitance transformers is analyzed on the basis of physi-
cal processes such as motion of charge carriers and their spacetime kinetics,
as well as the resulting current-voltage and impedance-frequency characteristics.
Immitance transformation is described in terms of equivalent RLC networks and
an appropriate common-emitter or common-base transistor circuit. Either bi-
polar or field-effect transistors are suitable for this application. The design
of band-pass and band-stop filters can be optimized, with the aid of testing,
for their amplitude-frequency characteristic to suit specific requirements, for
temperature stability of their power-dependent parameters by means of passive
elements, for a noise factor (which is higher than in passive filters), and for
stability margin by means of a large quivalent-generator conductance or by trans-
former circuit selection. Noise factor and sensitivity are evaluated by standard
methods, so that the former then decreased and the latter increased by proper
choice of components. Tuning of an active filter without loss of stability is
possible by controlling its quasi-resonance frequency, the attenuation coeffi-
cient at that frequency, the absolute bandwidth, or relative bandwidth (Q-factor)
with a control signal, while changing the other fixed filter parameters mini-
mally or as much as is permissible. Immitance transformers can be staged for
increasing the bandwidth. Transistors such as 2N3866 or KT3101/37 1/913 have
been used in single-stage and two-stage immitance transformers for reciprocal
and nonreciprocal active filters. Band-pass filters of this kind can, in turn,
be used for microwave delay lines, lossless ones or with signal amplification.

VOROB'YEV, A.M. and YELISEYEV, V.O.
[ Abstract] Phase-shift oscillators are analyzed rigorously on the basis of a
nonlinear theory. The corresponding nonlinear partial differential equations
are solved for the steady state with a small self-excitation margin, without
restriction on the nonlinearity of the active element. The system of equations
is formulated first for an oscillator with three RC-stages and then for one with
n RC-stages. The solution is sought in the form of an integral-power series in
the square root of the small Poincare-Rayleigh-Lyapunov parameter. The perform-
ance parameters, namely output voltage and ripple factors as well as amplitude
of the third harmonic, are calculated after explication of the indeterminacy
and subsequent permissible simplifications. The results are extended to the
limiting case of an oscillator with a distributed phase shifting RC-network.
Results of approximate numerical solution have been verified experimentally
with an oscillator containing a K140UD1B operational amplifier as active element,
two KP103M field-effect transistors on the input side providing a high input
impedance, and 3-10 RC-stages or a distributed RC-network on the output side
for phase shifting. The ripple factor increases consistently with increasing
number of RC-stages. Figures 2; tables 2; references: 8 Russian.

work in the form of a band-pass ladder. The parameters of the coupling network

the combined detection and filtering of random Poisson fields is constructed
which permits the analysis of such combined detection and filtering systems on

[ Abstract] An algorithm is presented for estimating the parameters of spectral
density of a random signal, assuming that the spectral density is described by
a fractionally rational expression. After some time of observation of the ran-
dom signal, the coefficients of the fractionally rational function must be esti-
mated. A new and less cumbersome algorithm for parameter estimation is presented
in this article, by selecting the fractionally rational function so that the
integrand in the equation for estimation always has a numerator, the power of
which is at least two less than the power of the denominator. The main difference
of this algorithm from that presented in an earlier work is that the parameters
are determined without the requirement of solving a nonlinear equation system,
greatly simplifying the identification algorithm. References: 4 Russian.

[ Abstract] Pulsed noise influences the reception of signals, in many systems.
Known pulsed noise models include the Hall model plus certain others in which
the distribution is varied for a more precise approximation of experimental dis-
tributions of pulsed noise amplitude and length, plus a second group of pulsed
noise models in which the spectral density is constant in the reception band.
These models unsatisfactorily analyze the method of analysis of the response of
linear and nonlinear systems to their effects. This work suggests that nonlinear
pulsed random processes and linear summary random processes based upon random
processes with independent increments be used as such models. The practical
20
significance of the pulsed noise models suggested is primarily that their full
probabilistic description creates the necessary foundation for the development
of optimal methods of detection of signals against their background, as well as
for evaluation of the noise stability of the communications or radar system
operating with pulsed noise present. These models can be used to solve applied
problems of pulsed noise transformation in nonlinear systems. References 9:

[ Abstract] A study is made of a narrow band normal random radio signal in the
form of the sum of two components: a stable (deterministic) component and a
normally fluctuating component, each with the different dispersion. The com-
plexity of the analytic expressions for the distribution function and numerical
phase characteristics of a narrow band normally fluctuating signal not only
make it difficult to apply them in practice, but also to prevent complete inves-
tigation of the specifics of the density. Equations are derived relating the
parameters of the distribution, and an estimate is made of the relationship of
the probabilistic models based on the Kolmogorov Agreement criteria. The cal-
culated variation of the criterion as a function of parameter " a" for various
versions of the function b=f(a) are presented in a figure, which also shows
curves representing the accuracy of approximation of the asymptotic values of
the solution equations. The results of computation indicate that the statisti-
cal model of the phase of the fluctuating radio signal suggested greatly sim-
plifies the analytic recording of the theoretically produced distribution and
reproduces its characteristics in full volume and with high accuracy. Figures

[ Abstract] The modern version of the " Randan" radio relay system with IKM-15
pulse-code-modulation equipment features a transmission rate as high as 1024
kbit/s with a correspondingly small frequency deviation of FM signals. The
postdetection video regenerators and the regenerators for automatic distortion
21
correction have been redesigned, and the remote power supply has been moved
into the terminal station. The length of the connecting cable can be varied
from 0 to 4 km so that tall buildings and water towers can be used instead of
expensive transmission poles. The main objective in redesigning the microwave
equipment for " Radan-2" was miniaturization, especially of the transceiver,
with retention or even improvement of the electrical characteristics and with
provisions for easy replacement of even the least reliable defective active
components. The transceiver includes components which determine its output
characteristics, voltage level and frequency stability, as well as auxiliary
components which do not determine its output characteristics but ensure its
proper operation. Ferrite diodes and a directional coupler in the latter cate-
gory, as well as the detector stages in the frequency stabilization loop and
the balancing mixer, have all been built on microstrip lines in a single hermeti-
cally sealed module. The directional coupler and the duplexer in the transmit-
ter, also the transmitter input and output filters, have been built on wave-
guides either completely filled with dielectric or cutoff waveguides with dis-
continuities in the filler. Miniaturization has been achieved, moreover, by
combining the stripline technology with hybrid integration. Figures 4; refer-

[ Abstract] Use of code redundancy for service communication in digital transmis-
sion systems eliminates the need for either installing auxiliary circuits with
attendant increased complexity of intermediate stations, or for having a four-
conductor analog or digital channel with lower system throughput capacity. Such
redundancy is.generated by conversion of a binary signal to a quasi-ternary or
other multilevel line signal with the number of possible combinations of symbols
becoming larger than the number needed for data transmission. Exclusion of cer-
tain combinations facilitates passage of the line signal through line repeaters.
Transmission of a reserve code combination (RCC) and of some original code com-
bination (OCC) corresponds to transmission of a " 1" and a " 0" , respectively,
without a decrease of the throughput capacity of the digital group channel and
without complication of the line channel equipment. The equipment on the trans-
mitter side includes an analog-to-digital converter for encoding analog service
information and controlling the reserve code combination, as well as an OCC
detector, an RCC input device and a switch. The equipment on the receiver side
includes an OCC detector, an RCC detector, an RCC-to-OCC changer, and a digital-
to-analog converter for decoding the service information. Analog-to-digital
conversion is performend by the pulse-code-modulation method or, for high trans-
mission quality, by the linear delta modulation method. A four-symbol combina-
tion produced by formation of a quasiternary line signal in the place of four
22
zeros in the original binary signal has been found to be convenient for con-
versation to a reserve code combination. Such a service communication system
is economical and relatively simple. Figures 6; tables 1; references: 9

STABILITY OF A GUNN DIODE OSCILLATOR IN LIMITED SPACE CHARGE STORAGE MODE

pp 39-41
DOKTOREVICH, M.M. and SHINKARENKO, V.G.
[ Abstract] The analysis of Gunn oscillator stability in a limited space charge
storage mode usually reduces to determination of the conditions for stability
of the homogeneous field distribution in the diode. This paper considers this
mode, taking into account the conditions both in the microwave circuitry and
the power supply. An increase in the internal resistance of the power supply
(which can ultimately be a current generator) leads to a substantial reduction
in the stability range as compared to the range where the charge storage mode
exists. A truncated equation for the oscillation amplitude is obtained through
a Van-der-Pol solution of the generator equation of motion, from which the
stability conditions are derived. When a source with a small internal resistance
is used, low-frequency fluctuations in the diode current have no substantial
impact on the stability. When this resistance rises, the interrelated process
of the conversion of the low-frequency fluctuations upward to the range of the
oscillating frequency and the down conversion of the high-frequency fluctuations
in the oscillator circuit which occurs because of the nonlinearity of the volt-
ampere characteristic, are.responsible for this curtailed stability range. For
diodes with a large positive slope of the volt-ampere characteristic, the range
of stability in the region of strong fields proves to be limited both at the
top and bottom ends of the range. Figures 3; references 9: 5 Russian; 3

[ Abstract] The replacement of electrical communications lines with fiber optics
necessitates the use of transducers for the electrical to optical conversion at
the start of the line and the back conversion at its output. There are two types
23
of optical sensors: 1) Active which generate the optical signal as a function
of the measured parameter; and 2) Passive which modulate an external optical
signal. This paper studies the possibility of creating a data acquisition net-
work using optical linear acceleration sensors which employ the phenomenon of
a change in the light transmittance of the optical fiber when it is bent. The
configuration of the proposed sensor allows light from a source to come through
an optical directional coupler into the fiber optics light guide, where it is
reflected from the mirror end face and then through the coupler to the photo-
detector. The free end of the light guide is loaded with a physical weight,
whose mass along with the length of the free end and the rigidity of the light
guide determine the range of accelerations which can be measured. A data
acquisition network design.is proposed using such sensors and it is noted that
the use of such direct conversion transducers allows for maximum utilization of
the advantages of fiber optics. The transmittance of the sensor is plotted as
a function of the acceleration for various weight loads and indices of refrac-
tion of the fiber optics core and jacket. Figures 6: References: 2 Western

NOISE TOLERANCE OF INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS USING PULSE CODE MODULATION

PILIPCHUK, N.I.
[ Abstract] The many works on the use of pulse code modulation methods such as
adaptive pulse code modulation, delta modulation and differential pulse code
modulation reveal two approaches to computation of noise tolerance: 1) Sequen-
tial calculation, i.e., calculation by parts; and 2) Calculation of the noise
tolerance of the system as a whole. In the first approach the statistical
characteristics of the analog-digital converter were calculated, followed by
the statistical characteristics of transmission error and finally, the charac-
teristics of the entire system, in each stage utilizing the results from the
prior calculations. In the second approach the approximation error is found
considering the set of factors introducing changes to the message, including
information source noise, noise in the communications channel, analog-digital
conversion error and transmission delay. In the first case in constructing a
system model some idealization is introduced but in stating the problem the
conditions are precisely described and so-called " precise" calculations are
performed. In the second case the models studied are usually closer to those
used in practice but a number of serious simplifying assumptions are made in
the calculation, making calculations more approximate. The first approach is
characteristic for theoretical work, the second for applied work. Each approach
has its advantages and disadvantages. This review describes works of the past
10 years, though it includes some earlier works which were fundamental in
their introduction of ideas which were further developed in later works.

YAVORSKIY, Ye.A.
[ Abstract] In multichannel digital transmission systems carrying continuous
messages such as information.measurement systems, a data compression algorithm
is used with single parameter adaptation referred to as an aperture algorithm.
However, the pulse-code modulation gain is difficult to calculate because of
the complexity of analysis of the data compression algorithm, particularly in
unsteady messages and other factors. In this article it is considered that the
transmitted messages are centered gaussian random processes with known correla-
tion functions. The unsteadiness of each message is described by the variation
of one of the parameters of the correlation function with time. Assuming a
balanced binary channel without memory, equations are derived which can be used
to estimate the parameters of the optimal data compression frame structure from
the standpoint of minimum mean signal power. An example is presented indicating
that the equations produced are sufficient for engineering design of optimal
systems with aperture data compression algorithms and computation of the problem
of the expediency of their application by comparison with PCM. Tables 2;

SHAROV, A.N. and GROSHIKOV, Ye.N.
[ Abstract] A closed-loop stochastic control for the power of a radio signal in
a channel with fadeout is synthesized according to the Bellman optimality prin-
ciple, assuming the signal to be mixed with additive fluctuation interference
of quasi-uniform spectral density. The control, acting at discrete instants of
time, ensures minimization of a quadratic functional which characterizes the
quality of signal transmission and the cost of control. The algorithm of this
optimal control is based on treating the power fluctuation approximately as a
quasi-stationary normal random process with given mathematical expectation and
correlation function so that its dynamics can be described by the linear dif-
ferential equations y (t)=Ay (t)+Cu(t)+Bw(t) (y - radio signal, u - determin-
S S "
istic control signal, w - normal white noise with zero mean value, t - time).
This equation is converted to a discrete one y (k+l)=0y
s
(k)+ij;u(k)+rw(k) ,
25
k = 0,1,2,.... The algorithm is formulated in terms of a recurrence relation
suitable for adaptive control. An evaluation of its efficiency reveals that the
latter depends largely on the accuracy of tracking the discretized signal pro-
cess, the quality of control depends largely on the rate and the dynamic range
of power fluctuation, and that adaptation here is a fast process completed within
3-8 steps. Figures 3; references: 6 Russian.

[ Abstract] Earlier works have estimated the location of the source of a random
signal based on the method of maximum likelihood. However, the practical value
of the method of maximum likelihood is greatly reduced in the case of short
observation times and high noise levels. Therefore, the authors study the
maximum likelihood estimate of the location of the source of a random signal,
considering threshold effects. The narrow band gaussian signal is considered
to be in the Fresnel zone of the receiving antenna. It is assumed that the
movement of the source during the brief observation time can be ignored. The
displacement and scattering of the estimate in the area of anomalous errors are
determined. The equations derived can provide a well-founded selection of ob-
servations time and antenna size in order to eliminate anomalous errors and
cause the characteristics of the maximum likelihood estimate to be similar to
the characteristics of the corresponding effective estimate. Figures 3; refer-

the spectrum is additionally expanded by means of phase-keyed pseudonoise
signals. Specific analytical expressions are derived for the noise immunity
of these two approaches and the noise immunity is plotted showing the signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver output as a function of the SNR at the
input for various spectrum expansion factors. For FM indices, m, of 4 and 10,
FM pseudonoise signals have an advantage over pulse-duration modulated signals
of 17 dB and 25 dB respectively, where the SNR at the input is well above the
threshold level; for a threshold level SNR, the advantage when m = 4 is 33 dB
and when m =10, is 45 dB. Figures 3; references 10: 7 Russian; 3 Western

[ Abstract] A 197 9 work by the same authors studied the influence of structured
noise on the probability of error of coherent reception of a phase-keyed signal
with random frequency structure. This article solves the problem for widely
used orthogonal signals with discrete frequency modulation. The signal in
question is a full M-nary, M-position code (where M is the number of frequencies)
which breaks down into M*
1-
! sets of M orthogonal signals each. In the time
interval T=NT (where T is the length of a signal envelope) one signal from some
set is presented. Selection of the signal and the frequency of its elements
is considered to be equally probable. The noise structure consists of a con-
tinuous sequence of elements of the same length with independent and uniform
appearance of the same frequencies. Equations are derived describing the
probability of error in reception of orthogonal discrete frequency modulated
signals. The equations allow in each specific case estimation of the quality
of reception and effective selection of the corresponding parameters, for ex-
ample in analyzing electromagnetic compatibility, multiplexing of communications
channels and other similar cases. Figures 1; tables 1; references: 2 Russian.

[ Abstract] A boundary condition is derived for the probability of error during
noncoherent reception with linear accumulation of a noise-like signal with rela-
tive phase keying. If the noise-like signals are formed using pseudorandom
27
sequences, at the transmitting end an oscillation is generated which represents
a sum of sectors of harmonic components with identical amplitudes and lengths
but different information phases. It is assumed that reception of the useful
signal is performed against a background of structured noise coinciding in
frequency with the transmitted oscillations. In order to decide whether or
not a signal has been transmitted, a noncoherent demodulator is used which
differs from known receivers in that it contains a multiplier and a pseudo-
random sequence generator similar to a transmitting stations generator intended
to eliminate the pseudorandom keying. An equation is derived which is quite
strict, requiring no hypothesis of gaussian distribution nor minimum a priori
information on the signal received or on noise. Figure 1; references: 3

OPTIMAL RECEPTION OF PHASE-KEYED PSEUDORANDOM SIGNAL MODULATED AT CARRIER
FREQUENCY BY INFORMATIVE MESSAGE
received 5 Jun 81) pp 1000-1003
SERDYUKOV, P.N., NAUM0V, A.V. and GROMAKOV, Yu.A.
[ Abstract] An optimum receiver is synthesized for signals which have been fre-
quency-modulated by a continuous informative message at the carrier frequency
of the latter and then phase-keyed according to the law of pseudorandom sequences.
The synthesis is based on the theory of nonlinear filtration, assuming that the
signal appears mixed with an additive white noise. In the case of a voice mes-
sage the signal is represented as a two-component Markov process. The receiver
structure includes a pseudorandom-sequence generator using a shift register with
feedback, and two sets of tunable oscillator and control element: one in the
phase-looking frequency control loop, one for tracking the time delay. The
quality of filtration is determined from the solution to a nonlinear differential
matrix equation for the a posteriori dispersion, with noise averaged and vibra-
tion disregarded. This equation, after insertion of a diagonal auxiliary matrix
and normalization of the time coordinate, was solved on a computer by the Euler
method for specific initial conditions k..=1 for i=j and k =0 for i^ j with the
modulation (keying) parameter m=2.5 . The results reveal that the transient
period becomes shorter with increasing signal-to-noise ratio, filtration improves
with increasing frequency-modulation index, and the a posteriori accuracy of
delay time tracking improves with increasing stability of the clock oscillator.

[ Abstract] The task of computing the spectrum of neighboring classes of
group codes has both independent theoretical interest and great practical
significance in coding theory. Knowledge of the spectra of related codes is
necessary, for example, in order to evaluate the probability of errors in
list decoding, in multistation access communications systems and in many other
cases. This article demonstrates a statement which can be used to calculate
the spectra of neighboring classes of arbitrary BCH codes by finding the num-
ber of solutions of a linear system of equations in finite fields which is
derived in the article. The theorum states that the spectrum of neighboring
classes A (y), fl< 6 of BCH codes assigned by a test matrix coincides with the
number of
W
different patterns of errors " e" of weight to defined by solution of
the equation system. In general, determination of the number of patterns of
errors is a complex task requiring a great volume of computation. Its simpli-
fication requires the development of a theory allowing determination of the
number of different roots belonging to the field GF (2

EQUIVALENT REPRESENTATION OF THE POSITION FIXERS FOR PULSE SIGNALS AND THEIR

[ Abstract] Analysis and optimization of time intervals between signal pulses
is usually applicable to a specific type of device for fixing the time posi-
tion of the pulses, specific signal and specific noise. Extrapolation of the
results to other operating conditions, particularly other types of position
fixers, is not always possible. One well-known mathematical approach repre-
sents an arbitrary random process as the result of passage of white noise
through a shaping filter. The corresponding optimal filter for an arbitrary
random process is represented as the union of a white filter and an optimal
filter for white noise. In order to create a unified approach for the de-
scription, analysis and synthesis of various fixers, the authors utilize a
similar mathematical approach. They assume that the pulse time position fixer
can be represented as an elementary fixer before which a certain equivalent
filter is connected, the transmission factor of which is determined by the
29
method of fixation. With additive white noise, the optimal equivalent filter
connected for the elementary fixer is a filter matched with the arbitrary useful
signal. Representation of the fixer in the form of a series connected equivalent
filter and elementary fixer, followed by an optimization of it by determining
the characteristics of an equivalent filter for the case of white noise, thus
leads to a known optimal fixation algorithm in one possible implementation.
Further analysis leads to the conclusion that an equivalent representation of
various methods of fixation in the form of an elementary fixer before which a
certain equivalent filter is connected has indeed been suggested. It is shown
that generally where noise is slight the optimal filter is a fixer for which
the equivalent filter is linear. A common feature of optimal fixation algorithm
is determination of the maximum response of a linear filter whose peak charac-
teristic is determined by the form of signal and noise plus the nature of their
interaction. Tables 1; references: 10 Russian.

[ Abstract] The design of a high resolution radio pulse reflectometer is de-
scribed in nonmathematical terms with a block diagram of the circuitry showing
the configuration of the transmitting and receiving-wave tubes (TWT's), triggering
pulse generator, delay lines, triggered oscilloscope and test object. A 2D5 24
charge storage diode is used in the video pulse generator which produces 5 0
psec width voltage pulses with an amplitude of 15 to 20 V. Series produced
TWT's are used; they have a power gain of about 37 dB In the 3 cm band and a
bandwidth of 60 percent of the carrier frequency. The oscilloscope is a S7 -13,
which in turn drives.a TDP4-002 autorecorder. The reflectometer generates a
pulse with a 3 dB level width of 5 10
-11
sec for spatial resolution of
7 .5 10~
3
m at frequencies between 3 and 10 GHz. The time position instability
of the pulse is less than 10 psec with a pulse power of 20 W. The pulse repe-
tition rate can vary in a range of 10 to 10
8
Hz and the receiver sensitivity is
a minimum of about 10~
10
W. Oscilloscope traces are shown for the voltage at
the output of the step function voltage generator and the transmitting TWT, as
well as the return signal from a test object as a function of time. The maximum
output pulse power is achieved when a step voltage of about 2 V with a width of
about 100 psec or 0.7 V with a width of 5 0 psec is fed to the input of the
transmitting TWT. The reflectometer makes it possible to study various inhomo-
geneities in microwave channels directly in the time domain. Figures 5 ; tables

EFFECTIVENESS OF SUCCESSIVE SEARCH FOR A SIGNAL IN CHARACTER PROCESSING OF A
RECEIVED VOLTAGE

[ Abstract] In some pulse communications systems it is necessary to seek a
periodic signal in noise. If the signal length is T
s
, its repetition period
T , the task of seeking the signal based on the delay over time interval
T
S
< T is equivalent to that of separating one signal time channel of
N
m
= T ^ T time channels. This task is solved in successive search by repeated
performance of some detection procedure. Because the desired signal is clearly
present in one of the N channels, the effectiveness of the search can be esti-
mated as the probability of proper determination of signal P and the mean time
of proper search T. Procedures for minimizing I with fixed value of P are
discussed. The results of analysis for character received voltage processing
procedures are represented. Equations are derived which can be used to esti-
mate the characteristics of sequential search for all types of processing of
the received voltage, any type of detector counting the number of zeros and
ones arriving at its input and comparing this number with the threshold or
thresholds, and comparison of the effectiveness of using each processing type.
The speed of the sequential search system using a simple character procedure is
several times less than when binary quantization is used with the optimal thres-
hold. References: 3 Russian.

[ Abstract] In many electronics problems it is necessary to seek a signal. In
this work, search for one harmonic signal with unknown frequency using a search
device is studied. The signal frequency belongs to an area of uncertainty AF,
the accuracy with which the search must be performed being defined by Af. De-
tection of a signal with an unknown frequency is performed by the implementation
of the envelope of the observed process, representing either a normal steady
narrow band noise with zero mean or the sum of this noise pluse a deterministic
narrow band signal. It is assumed that the observation time of one or several
positions is greater.than 1/A, where A is the bandwidth of the detector amplifier.
An algorithm is derived for seeking a strong signal which makes possible a sig-
nificant reduction in the search time without reducing the probability of proper
detection. References: 2 Russian.

METHOD OF OPTIMIZING DESIGN OF LINE-OF-SIGHT RADIO RELAY LINES

[ Abstract] The problem of optimizing the design of line-of-sight radio relay
lines is reformulated, following the latest CCIR recommendations, as a multi-
criterial problem of structural-parametric synthesis on the basis of a stochas-
tic model with six vectors: 1) Vector X of uncontrollable factors (geography,
climate, traffie); 2) Vector U of controllable factors (equipment design, power
supply, antenna type); 3) Vector E of electrical channel characteristics other
than signal-to-noise ratio; 4) Vector R of data transmission reliability; 5 )
Vector C of costs; and 6) Vector S of signal stability on intervals. The
problem is to achieve both performance characteristics and devise a design
procedure, each not worse than prescribed or optimum in some sense. Constraints
are generally imposed on vectors R, C, U and it is not expedient to use these
vectors as optimality criteria. Instead, the pareto-optimum sequence (0* (X,U)
of design variants in the space of given X and permissible U is sought which
corresponds to preferable values of criteria Q* (R,C,) (Q* being the complement
of Q* to the full set of criteria Q = Q* UQ'). One design variant is selected
according to an arbitrary rule such as C = C
m
i
n
. Reliability is stipulated in
terms of the down-time factor rather than the availability. Stability is stipu-
lated in terms.of the fraction of total time in which channel noise exceeds the
permissible level during the month of the year with best fadeout chacteristics.
32
The procedure for solving the problem consists of five steps: 1) Selection of
equipment; 2) Preliminary selection of routes on small-scale topographic maps;
3) Tabulation of possible variants of high-frequency components and power sup-
plies for each station; 4) Search for pareto-optimum solutions with discrete
variables (variants differing with respect to layout or amount of standby equip-
ment); and 5 ) Checkout for compliance with other CCIR 393-3 and 395 -2 require-
ments. A simplified version of this procedure, is planned, with a radio relay
line 100 km long with 3 stations and with spatial staggering of receivers for
higher reliability. The algorithm of search for the pareto-optimum set of solu-
tions is based on dynamic programming, invariant with respect to the number of
criteria, and has been programmed for a YeS-1022 Unified System computer. The

MATCHING DEVICE FOR VHF-BAND RADIO TRANSMITTER

pp 25 -27

[ Abstract] A new type of matching device for VHG-band radio transmitters is
proposed, in which a simple-to-construct VTWR transducer and transmission line
of controllable electrical length replace the difficult-to-construct phase dis-
criminator and impedance transducer. The sequence of steps in tuning such a
device is first to adjust its reactance for a definite traveling-wave ratio in
the line, usually the same each time, and then to vary the electrical length of
the line until its input impedance becomes purely resistive. This algorithm is
compatible with the types of load of a real VHF-band radio transmitter. The
most expedient form of variable reactor is a discrete bank of switchable capaci-
tors in sizes which follow a geometric progression with ratio 2. A logic module
for selecting the.combination of capacitors may consist of a Kipp oscillator
(monostable multivibrator) with trigger and relay for each capacitor, the Kipp
oscillators connected in series through NAND-gates and each relay trigger sepat
rated from its Kipp oscillator by a NAND-gate. The NAND-gates between Kipp
oscillators have their single input leads tied together and connected to one
output of a comparator, the NAND-gates between Kipp oscillators and relay trig-
gers have their second input leads tied together and connected to the other
output of the comparator. The comparator receives signals from a fixed -VTWR
transducer in response of the latter to incident and reflected voltages. The
transducer generates a " null" signal when the VTWR has become what it should be.
The performance of this transducer during " balance" depends least of all on the
transmitted power, the latter affecting only the slope of the transducer charac-
teristic. Figures 3; references 5 : 3 Russian, 2 Western (in translation).

[ Abstract] The purpose of this work is to find the optimal algorithms for
digital processing of various models of binary.quantized signals received by
optimal methods against a background of additive gaussian white noise and to
determine the nature of influence of the parameters and form of the distribu-
tion function of the mixture of signal and noise on the optimal logic of binary
signal processing, assuming that the beginning and end of the packet of the
binary quantized signal are known. The logic of processing refers to the widely
used criterion of the form of k of n processing of the binary signal. The re-
sults presented in this work allow computation of the optimal value of k with
any distribution of signal-to-noise. The approximate equations produced with
estimates of their accuracy are useful for engineering design of detectors

INCREASING TIME RESOLUTION OF SIGNALS WITH LIMITED FREQUENCY BANDWIDTH

KIRILLOV, S.N.
[ Abstract] An expression is obtained for the spectral density of the power of
signals which minimizes the normalized time resolution function with a fixed
value of dispersion of the time estimate and side lobe level. It is shown that
as the dispersion of the time estimate increases, the level of the side lobes
of the signal at the output of the matched filter drops to -40 dB. The syn-
thesized signals assure lower values of the normalized resolution function
with respect to time and dispersion of time estimates, than signals whose spec-
tral power density have the form k+ (l-k)cos
2
z for a fixed side lobe level.
In many cases, additional requirements must be placed on the signals: provide
minimal value of T (0) for fixed dispersion of the estimate of delay time. This
article is dedicated to a study of the properties of these signals. With a
fixed band of frequencies the signals have a higher resolving capacity with re-
spect to time than signals whose spectra is described by a more common expres-
sion, given in the article. An equation is also derived which, with an accuracy
equivalent to a constant factor describes the expression for the power of pas-
sive noise at the output of a matched filter if the movement of reflectors is
not considered. This means that the synthesized signals have, with a fixed
dispersion of time estimate and side lobe levels, minimal passive noise power
at the output of a matched filter. References: 5 Russian.

RADIO BROADCAST RECEIVER WITH SINGLE SIDEBAND SELECTION CAPABILITY
pletion 11 Dec 82) pp 28-30
BANK, M.U.
[ Abstract] A crystal filter with a passband of 4 KHz for either the upper or
lower sideband can be designed for selective SSB detection at a frequency of
1.84 MHz. To attain the maximum skirt selectivity with a limited number of com-
ponents and an acceptable attentuation within the passband, the Q of the com-
ponents should be no less than 30 and the Q of the crystals in filter should
be no less than 14,000. This can be accomplished with monolithic crystal fil-
ters. This paper proposes a design which reduces the number of crystals required
from 12 to 8 by having the filter composed of two equal sections, a bandpass
and stop-band section, each of which can be switched to the opposite mode to
provide the selectable sideband function. Expressions are derived for the
harmonic distortion associated with both linear and square-law detectors for a
SSB system using these filters. The square-law detector does not produce any
marked distortion and only changes the " coloration" of the sound, while a linear
detector introduces distortions clearly perceived by the listener. Special
crystal filters and receivers with selectable SSB are now under development.

METHODS OF TRANSMITTING CONTROL SIGNALS OVER BUSY RADIO BROADCASTING CHANNELS

pp 18-21
KACHEROVICH, Ya. A.
[ Abstract] . The possibility of transmitting control signals of generally short
duration over busy radio broadcasting or telephone channels with unattended or
semi-unattended equipment eliminates the need for building or leasing special
channels. There are four basic methods available: 1) Use of bands in the
radiation spectrum of ultrashort-wave FM radio or television stations which do
not contain a complex stereosignal; 2) Subliminal use of busy higher-quality
channels for narrow-band (15 kHz) code signals; 3) Sporadic conspicuous use of
busy audio channels; and 4) Use of several narrow frequency bands within the
middle range of the audio spectrum in which the broadcast program is suppressed.
All these methods are applicable within short geographical ranges, but none is
satisfactory for transmission of control signals over long distances or over
lower-quality channels. A significant improvement here should be using the
program signal in a full channel as carrier of discrete control messages, spe-
cifically a binary signal added with time delay. This can be done by superposing
35
on the program a coded signal, sequence of frequency-keyed or phase-keyed sig-
nals, the reliability of its detection improving with increasing complexity of
the code. The code frequency should not coincide with but fall between those
of the musical scale, allowing 2 percent untuning of instruments. A correcting
code should be included for minimizing the probability of distortion of binary
symbols in a given modem. The level of code signals should be automatically
regulated. Cyclic synchronization of code sequences with a preliminary sequence
is necessary in the case of continuous program reception, but not in the case
of long start-stop messages or in the case of strong background interference.
Experiments in extraction of frequency-keyed binary control signals from the
program by means of quartz filters have been successful. Figures 3; references

UNCONVENTIONAL METHODS OF COOLING INDUCTIVE COMPONENTS IN HIGH-POWER MEDIUM-

pp 15 -18

[ Abstract] The problem of economically increasing the power output of radio
transmitters is intimately related to the problem of adequate cooling, which
will permit reducing the size of and the metal content in critical components.
This applies particularly to inductive and switching components. Liquid di-
electrics are very suitable for this application, not only because of their
high heat dissipating capacity and electrical strength but also because they
lower the electrical resistivity of metals appreciably when the temperature is
sufficiently lowered. The feasibility of two basically different unconventional
cooling methods is examined here on the basis of heat balance and power rela-
tions. One method is cooling with cryogenic liquids, helium for cooling super-
conductors and nitrogen for cooling cryoconductors. Another method is cooling
with high-boiling liquids such as organofluorine compounds (perfluorotriethylene,
perfluorodibutyl ether) with transition from pool boiling to film boiling. Each
variant is evaluated on the basis of coolant properties and conductor design,
also taking into account the parameters of equipment (cryostat, boiler) design
and performance. Calculations are shown for a split variometer used in PSV-2000
medium-wave and long-wave radio transmitters. Liquid nitrogen has the highest
heat dissipating capacity of approximately 20 W/cm
2
, but cryogenic cooling with
nitrogen or with helium (1 W/cm
2
) requires special equipment and an extra power
supply. Organofluorine compounds with a heat dissipating capacity of 10-15
W/cm
2
have the disadvantage of being somewhat toxic. For comparison, the maxi-
mum power dissipation by natural air cooling is on the order of 0.1 W/cm

ULTIMATE POSSIBLE ESTIMATES OF SIGNAL DELAY TIME IN STRICT CONFLICT SITUATION
pp 47 -5 1
ZHODZISHSKIY, A.I. and ZHODZISHSKIY, Yu. I.
[ Abstract] The optimal estimate of the delay time of a signal received against
a background of normal white noise background is well known, where the optimal
form of the transmitted signal responsible for the potential precision of the
measurement, i.e. the minimum dispersion of the estimate, is specified. This
paper attacks this problem using game theory for a broader class of interference,
incorporating jamming, whose structure can change for the purpose of maximally
increasing the estimate error. Formulated in this way, the problem reduces to
finding the ultimate possible capability of determining the dispersion of the
estimate in the presence of a strict conflict. The question of the practical
feasibility of such systems is not addressed in this paper, and the games theory
approach does not relay on any limitations such as the absence of internal noise,
use of a receiver filter matched to the signal against the white noise back-
ground, or limiting the class of signals to just those with unilateral rectangu-
lar envelope spectra. The conflict situation is represented in the form of an
antagonistic game where player 1 is the designer of the estimation system and
player 2 is the jammer. An additive mixture of the useful signal, interference
and internal normal white noise having a unilateral spectral density is fed to
the receiver input of the estimation system. The signal is completely known at
the receive point while it is being transmitted and its spectrum is limited to
a specified range of frequency. The interference is independent of the signal
and normal. It is shown that previous results for the optimum estimation of the
signal delay time found in the literature are a special case of the more general
expression derived in this paper. The dispersion of the measurement estimate
given here, neglecting internal noise, is 5 /3 times as small as that in a paper
by Nillson (IRE NAT. CONV. REC., 195 9, Vol 7 , No 4), because of which, the
limitations on the permissible set of signals are eliminated in this approach.

[ Abstract] The technical- requirements which analog-to-digital converters for
data transmission modems.with tone-frequency and pulse-width-modulation chan-
nels must satisfy are reviewed in a systematic manner, as a basis for produc-
tion of these devices by the " Mikropribor" Industrial Association in L'vov.

These requirements are essentially based on the relation x = mD + AA between an
analog quantity x and its digital equivalent D in a linear conversion process
(A - discretization step, X = 1 or 0, m - scale factor). Converter performance
parameters relevant to the choice of conversion algorithm are passband, resolu-
tion (number of bits for adequate noise immunity), conversion speed, dynamic
range of input signal, input impedance within operating frequency range, quanti-
zation error, maximum normalized scale error and differential scale nonlinearity,
temperature coefficients of gain drift and null voltage drift. The digital
value of a convertible quantity must be presented in a parallel complementary
binary code. The new MF 4802 analog-to-digital converter meets the CCIR per-
formance specifications, with the d.c. supply voltage (15 V, 12.6 V, +5 V)
fluctuating not more than 5 percent and with stable operation at ambient tem-
perature from =10C to 7 0C. The converter, together with an analog memory and
a reference voltage source as well as a comparator with feedback control, is
built with series 133 and 15 5 integrated microcircuits in the 1/0 logic. The
comparator is built with KMP816SA1/2 hybrid-film devices. The voltage-to-code
converter has 10 bits, including one bit for the sign, and operates at a speed
of 6 us (clock frequency 66 MHz). The maximum normalized scale error and the
differential scale nonlinearity are both not larger than h LSB (last signifi-
cant bit). Its frequency range is 0-110 kHz with the input impedance equal to
100 kohm at 110 kHz. Figures 2: references 6: 4 Russian, 2 Western.

[ Abstract] The process of planning electrical apparatus must be based on the
systems approach which requires development of an automated planning system.
The system approach to planning significantly changes the sequence and content
of the steps in the process of developing apparatus, as well as the relationship
between design and experimental operations. The automatic planning system must:
1) Demonstrate the need to develop a series of apparatus; 2) Compose a technical
assignment for planning considering the requirements of the organizations re-
sponsible for technical supervision; and 3) Supervise the process of utilizing
standardized parts and elements in order to develop optimal hardware designs.
Optimization of hardware design is performed by nonlinear or dynamic programming
methods. The creation of an electronic apparatus automatic planning system
requires significant expenditures, and should therefore be performed for entire
groups of apparatus of similar design. Novocherkassk Polytechnical Institute
has developed and is successfully using a system for automated planning of
electromagnetic mechanisms, the technical base of which is a YeS-1022 computer,
the drafting-graphic " Itekan-2m" automat and other devices. Figures 1; refer-

[ Abstract] Three test pulse generators are described: G5 -7 9 which incorporates
the " Elektronika S5 -31" single chip microcomputer (K5 86VYel IC); G5 -80 which
uses the " Elektronika S5 -12" single board microcomputer and the GK5 -83 which
employs a microcomputer based on a set of microprocessors from the K5 89 series.
Each of these generators consists of a control section based on the microcom-
puters as well as the measurement circuitry. The G5 -7 9 generates single, double
and a series of square-wave, trapezoidal, triangular and sawtooth waveform
pulses with widths of from 5 0 nsec to 100 sec. The G5 -80 is a 16-channel code
sequence (" word" ) generator with a maximum clock frequency of 5 0 MHz, a maximum
code sequence length of 2,048 - 8.192 bits or clock cycles in each channel.
The pulse width and time shifts are adjusted separately in each channel and the
generator can produce various binary codes or functions in a parallel or series
code as well as test and sync signals in a complex multidimensional time pattern.
The GK5 -83 is a pseudorandom pulse train generator having a code sequence ana-
lyzer. It is designed to detect and measure errors which occur during data
transmission via digital communications channels and provides for both closed
loop operation at frequencies of up to 5 0 MHz. Block diagrams of the three
units are given and their programming is discussed. The use of microcomputers
has made it possible to implement standard diagnostic, self-diagnostic, automated
self-testing and calibration functions. As instrument functions increase along
with the number of input parameters and operating modes, it will be necessary
to go to higher performance data displays. Figures 3; references: 8 Russian.

[ Abstract] The set of various tasks encountered in the development of low-
voltage apparatus can be divided into two great classes, identification and
optimization. Identification is similar to analysis, optimization to synthesis
of the best version. Identification presupposes establishing the qualitative
and quantitative interrelationships between parameters of the object and the
medium, such as the parameters of a fuse and the protective characteristics of
the fuse. The selection of a model structure and the shape of the task of
approximation are outlined along with classical methods for its solution.
Typical identificationtasks encountered in the practice of development and
design of low-voltage apparatus are listed as examples, including those en-
countered in the development of the PP-5 9 series of fast acting fuses. The
approach which uses Kolmogorov-Mordashev transforms, based on an approximation
of the functions of many variables by a function of a smaller number of vari-
ables, is found to have advantages, including increased accuracy of the model
by mathematical transforms without increasing the required volume of experi-
mental work in the process of design optimization. Classification of models
of apparatus by their method of construction can significantly simplify the
procedure of research and design. References 6: 5 Russian, lWestern.

[ Abstract] The strong noise-like oscillations which occur in Gunn diodes in
the initial segment of the " falling" portion of the volt-ampere characteristic
have many of the attributes of stochastic free oscillations characteristic of
distributed dynamic systems. Such oscillations obey the likelihood laws derived
from the equations for system dynamics; this behavior is manifest in the exist-
ence of a dimensionless parameter which determines the bifurcation of the sys-
tem. This paper is an attempt to determine whether the observed oscillations
in Gunn diodes are cause by amplifications of microfluctuations or are in fact
stochastic self-oscillations. The latter occur in that range of system parameters
corresponding to instability in the periodic solutions, which means that they
occur in a diode with the propagation of a steady-state nonlinear wave, a strong
field domain (soliton). For a domain moving along an infinitely long homogene-
ously doped sample, the stability of this type of solution requires that G
R
be
less than 1, where
G = [ R- ,/(U , - U . )

R load supply r mm
and U is the minimum voltage drop across the domain and C is a constant

for each diode. To ascertain whether G is a bifurcation parameter, GaAs Gunn
diodes in low-Q microwave resonators were studied in order to observe their
oscillatory behavior. For certain values of the electron concentration
(n /n . , less than 1), it appears that G,, is such a bifurcation parameter,

EFFECT OF HIGHER CUTOFF FREQUENCY ON PERFORMANCE ON GUNN-EFFECT DIODES

[ Abstract] The cutoff frequency of intervalley-electron-transfer devices
operating with limited space-charge accumulation can be raised by application
of a voltage signal which contains a second harmonic in addition to the funda-
mental component. The voltage then remains longer near the threshold level
and the electron concentration at the center dip of the conduction wave in the
material is restored to a higher level than in the case of a simple sinusoidal
signal, especially at high frequencies. This increases the amplitude of the
alternating component of electron drift velocity and drift current, resulting
in a decrease of the phase shift between current and voltage so that the cutoff
frequency becomes higher. The effect on the performance of an n-GaAs Gunn-
effect diode was evaluated and confirmed theoretically as well as experimentally.
The frequency dependence of the power generation efficiency of an oscillator with
an n-GaAs Gunn-effeet diode was calculated on the basis of the equation of
Boltzmann kinetics, at lattice temperatures from 300 to 5 00 K, with scattering
of electrons by acoustic, polar and nonpolar optical, intervalley and intravalley
phonons taken into account. Measurements were made with n-GaAs diodes in a
waveguide-stripline oscillator cavity between the wide wall and plunger, the
latter inserted through a microwave filter. These diodes have an electron con-
centration n =.(2-1Q15 - 1016) cm
-3
and an active region of length L = 1-10 urn.
The quantitative differences between theoretical and experimental results are
attributable to the fact that the former are based on ideal limited space-charge
accumulation, while the latter have been obtained for the diodes operating in
resonance-transit or hybrid modes with attendant nonuniform heating. Figures

[ Abstract] Photovaricaps based on Si-Si0
2
MOS-structures should have a high
sensitivity, not only to visible and near infrared light but also to ultra-
violet light, inasmuch as their space-charge region is embedded close to the
44
surface. For an investigation of this possibility, the photocapacitance of
such varicaps on n-Si (fi = 7 .5 ohm* cm) at 1 MHz at room temperature was meas-
ured with a superhigh-pressure xenon lamp serving as light source and a semi-
transparent layer of nickel serving as a field electrode. The measurements were
made in a linear mode, with constant number of incident photons, in the range
of inversion bending of energy bands. The results confirm the predicted high
photosensitivity in ultraviolet light, the photocapacitance being generally
higher at shorter wavelengths. They indicate only a small absorption of light
by both Ni and SiO, layers as well as by the photocapacitive Si layer, also
only a small recombination loss at the surface and within the subsurface space-
charge region in silicon in devices produced by modern technology (recombination
losses in devices produced by the diffusion process are higher). The results
can be explained by an increase of the quantum yield with increasing incident
photon energy and by.a charge exchange between the Si (or Ni) and SiO layers
at quantum energy levels higher than the interphase potential barriers. The
monotonic increase of photocapacitance with decreasing wavelength is inter-
rupted by spectral anomalies attributable to critical points in the Brillouin
zone in silicon. Figures 1; references 8: 6 Russian, 2 Western.

5 0th Anniversary of the USSR
[ Abstract] As the production program of the motor vehicle plant increases, the
problem of increasing the effectiveness of operation of electrical equipment
becomes more severe. One major means for saving electric power at the plant is
replacement of obsolete converter equipment. One great shortcoming of the type
VGVF machine converters now used is the great variation of efficiency as a
function of load, which is quite irregular in the plant. It was decided to
replace machine converters with thyristor frequency converters, which have
higher efficiency (up to 92 percent), less variation of efficiency with load,
no losses at idle during shutdown and which are easier to repair. They also
require fewer personnel to service and maintain them. Operational characteris-
tics of the units installed in the foundry are presented. Successful experi-
ence in operation of thyristor equipment has solved the problem of replacing
rotating converters by thryistor converters. The experience of the use of
thyristor converters at the Volga Motor Vehicle Plant has shown that they are
highly reliable, permitting.not only a savings of electric power, but also a
significant increase in service life and a reduction in required maintenance
and the number of maintenance personnel. References 9: Russian.

[ Abstract] Results are briefly presented from the development of methods and
creation of devices for unsteady cryogenic heat measurement. Experiments have
shown that.during measurements in the area of helium temperatures, preference
must be given to resistance thermometers consisting of germanium, carbon or
gallium arsenide. When strong magnetic fields are present measurements are
performed using carbon resistance thermometers. Platinum and germanium re-
sistance thermometers are used for high precision measurements. Several mathe-
matical models and calculation equations are presented for methods of determining
unsteady heat fluxes to be used in the solution of practical problems as in
cryoturbogenerator design. A technology has been developed and a number of
original heat meters created implementing a new method, which requires that the
temperature of the surface of the heat meter be known at any time. This re-
quires the application of a resistive coating which must be uniform and thin,
well bounded to the substrate and have good thermometric properties. A carbon
coating with grains of about 10
-8
m diameter was developed for the purpose.
Results of testing showed that instability of a resistance of the thermometers
after 3 thermal cycles from 300 to 4 K was not over 0.5 percent. The paper

is based on recording.changes in the modulus of the coefficient of reflection
of electromagnetic waves from the object. Experiments were performed on an
installation consisting primarily of a double waveguide bridge, which permits
the curing of materials to be studied under laboratory conditions. The modulus
of the coefficient of reflection of electromagnetic waves from the object can
be used as a primary recorded parameter in order to monitor curing of materials
and products. The major condition required to assure high sensitivity of the
method and reliability of the results produced is proper selection of the rela-
tionship of the band of change of dielectric properties of the material tested,
the wave-length of probing radiation and the thickness of the layer tested.
The results of theoretical analysis of the interaction of an electromagnetic

[ Abstract] A new method is suggested for construction of AC to DC converters
allowing a significant reduction in low-frequency error and expanding the fre-

performing the operation of selection of the larger or smaller of two signals.
The operating principle of the amplitude selector is explained. A schematic
diagram of the converter is presented, along with an equivalent circuit of a
converter constructed using an active amplitude selector, which means one con-
trolled by the voltage of the voltage source. The physical expansion of the
frequency band toward lower frequencies is explained by the introduction of a
capacitor to the feedback tracking circuit, which is equivalent to increasing
the discharge time constant by a factor equal to the inverse of the undercom-
pensation error. The paper was recommended by a Department (Kafedra) of Con-

[ Abstract] A prototype of a universal radiation meter for measuring the tem-
perature profile of an ocean surface has been developed with sufficient sensi-
tivity to temperature fluctuations in terms of both amplitude (0.02C) and
frequency (0-10 Hz). It consists of an optical receiver, an electronic signal
processor, a power supply, and an automatic chart recorder and a magnetophone.
The optical system contains two identical channels, one for radiation from the
water surface and one for radiation from the reference source mounted on a
rotatable sectoral shutter together with a thermistor-type temperature probe.
The objective in each channel is followed by a plane mirror, a semitransparent
lattice mirror, a filter, a stop, a condenser lens, and a radiation receiver
- a semiconductor immersion bolometer without cooling. A motor-driven disk
modulates the radiation for each objective at a frequency of 60 Hz. An auxiliary
modulator generates a constant-voltage signal at the carrier frequency of the
radiation receivers signal. The electronic system contains two identical
amplifier and converter channels for signals from the radiation receivers,
amplification and conversion of the synchronizing signal, suppression of the
reflected signal component for minimizing the error of measurement of the
intrinsic thermodynamic water surface temperature, and signal separation for
widening the dynamic range of signal transmission and recording without loss
of high sensitivity. Figures 2; tables 1; references 7 : 6 Russian, 1 Western.

[ Abstract] A brief review is presented of the most common methods for measure-
ment of the basic optical characteristics of multimode fiber light guides, such
as optical losses, the profile of the index of refraction, numerical aperture
and light pulse time dispersion. An attempt is made at comparative evaluation
of various methods, showing the causes for possible divergences in results in
measurements made in different laboratories. In the discussion of various
methods of measurement of the basic optical characteristics of fiber light
guides the primary task is to provide an objective estimate from the standpoint

of fiber light guide developers, whose goal must be to create fiber light guides
with certain required properties. In order to perform this task, measurement
methods are required which eliminate the ambiguity of results. However, in
planning fiber optic communications systems measurement of fiber light guide
characteristics has a different purpose, and it is more desirable to approxi-
mate the measurement conditions to the conditions of operation of the planned

[ Abstract] An analysis is presented of the operation of a magnetic modulation

The converter is excited by a voltage consisting of single-pole rectangular
pulses. A mathematical model of its operation is constructed using the following
assumptions: 1) The influence of eddy currents in the core is considered by
inserting a resistor connected in parallel to the exciter winding; 2) Dissipa-
tion current and capacitance between turns are ignored; 3) The output winding
of the converter is considered open; and 4) The hysteresis loop of the material
of the core in the first quadrant is replaced by an average curve passing through
the middle of the loop of the frequency cycle of the core, magnetized to the
state of technical saturation. Equations are derived which can be used to
determine the amplitude of the output signals of the converter for various time

and a DKDP crystal. Holograms are displayed on a VK-23 video monitor constitu-
ting a part of the PTU-29 special-purpose television equipment. A continuous
signal generated by the microwave oscillator is transmitted through the horn
antenna into the anechoic chamber and along the reference-wave channel to the
mixer also acting as a synchronous detector. The object wave, scattered by the
object, impinges on the square diode-scatterer array in the hologram plane. The
dimension of the array is D
2
.= 25 A x 25 A with a 0.8A distance between diodes,
the latter acting as linear vibrators under a modulated (at constant frequency
of the order of 1 MHz) load of radio pulses. Both shadowgrams and holograms
can be obtained, at a speed of 20 frames/s, with the distance from object to
diode array R^ = (1-3)X or R = 90A respectively and the angle between signal
wave and reference wave a = 0 or 30 respectively. The distance from horn to
diode array is R = 180A. The resolution is not worse than < 5 ~ 3X, correspond-
ing to the theoretical limit (X/D)R . With this apparatus it is possible to
reconstruct images from dynamic holograms and observe them in real time.

[ Abstract] This article proposes a method for determining the temperature fields
and thermal voltages originating in integrated microcircuit crystals subjected
to local heat sources and nonuniform heat exchange conditions with the environ-
ment. The Dul'nev-Akayev averaging method is used for the first time to determine
the thermal voltage field. The work contains the results of analytic and experi-
mental testing of the equations suggested. The equations derived establish the
interrelationship between design parameters of microcircuits, thermophysical
properties of their elements and the characteristics of thermal effects. The
field of thermal voltages in the crystal is looked upon as the response of the
microcircuit to thermal effects. A two-factor experiment with simultaneous
exposure to shock and temperature was used to test the calculated data. It was
found that the temperature effect did not have a great influence on the mechani-
cal strength of the products up to temperatures near the maximum. Only at
more than 25 0C or 35 0C for two different types of microcircuits did the tem-
perature become significant. The paper was recommended by the Department (Kafedra)
of Automatics and Telemechanics, Frunze Polytechnical Institute. Figures 3;

[ Abstract] Aluminum nitride is a suitable material for interdigital surface-
acoustic-wave transducers in various microwave electronics and data processing
applications. Single crystal thin films of this material with a high-grade
5 4
surface finish are producible by high-temperature decomposition of A1C1 * NH .
For an experimental feasibility study, such films were grown epitaxially at
various temperature to thicknesses of 1-6 ym on 20-5 0 mm wide and 15 0-300 lim
thick Al 0 (sapphire) wafers. The polished active wafer surface was made to
coincide with the (0112)-plane and the interface to coincide with the A1N
(1126)-plane, the projection of the [ 0001] a-Al 0 axis on the interface per-
pendicular to the projection of the AIN [ 0001] -axis on that interface. Various
passive interdigital transducer structures were fabricated from these ingots
by the photolithographic process, namely multitap delay lines and band filters.
The delay lines with 3,4,5 taps and a group delay of 0.4-5 .8 ]ls were tested in
a microwave oscillator operating at three frequencies (696.2, 7 26.2, 7 5 6.7 MHz)
and generating sinusoidal 30-7 5 mV signals. Their performance characteristics,
frequency dependence of equivalent resistance and capacitance as well as de-
pendence of the electromechanical coupling coefficient on the length of the
sound guide, are comparable with those of delay lines on ST quartz. The per-
formance characteristics of the band filters, amplitude-frequency characteris-
tics and 2-dB bandwidth as well as insertion loss, squareness factor, atten-
uation in delay band and phase velocity of surface acoustic waves, are com-
parable with those of band filters on YZ-cut LiNbO- crystals. The results
establish the suitability of photolithographically produced A1N-A10 structures
for passive SAW devices with a* fundamental frequency of 1.5 GHz, a frequency
1.5 -2 times higher than the operating fundamental frequency of conventional
single-crystal sound guides. Figures 5 ; tables 1; references 6: 3 Russian,

[ Abstract] A study was made of acoustically asynchronous four-wave interactions
of surface and volume acoustic waves in layered structures. The test structure
consisted of a piezoceramic substrate, a YZ-cut LiNbO crystal with regular
trapezoidal cross section (10 slant). On its wider upper surface there was
symmetrically deposited two 15 MHz SAW transducers on the inside and two 30 MHz
SAW transducers on the outside. On the narrower lower surface there was
deposited a 30 MHz ShVAW (volume acoustic shear wave) transducer, and on each
of the two opposite slanted lateral surfaces there was deposited a 30 MHz LVAW
(longitudinal volume acoustic wave) transducer. Above the substrate were placed
semiconductor specimens (p'-Si, photosensitive CdS, p-n diode arrays). The fol-
lowing third-order nonlinear effects were observed: 1) Interaction of 30 MHz
SAW with accompanying it slanted 30 MHz ShVAW and opposing it 15 MHz SAW, re-
sulting in formation of a 7 5 MHz uniform electric field; la) Reverse interaction,
producing a 15 MHz SAW; 2) Interaction of 15 MHz SAW with opposing it 30 MHz
slanted LVAW and 30 MHz ShVAW, resulting in formation of a 7 5 MHz uniform elec-
tric field; 2a) Reverse interaction, producing a 15 MHz SAW; 3) Interaction of
5 5
45 MHz pumping field with 30 MHz slanted LVAW and 30 MHz ShVAW, producing a 15
MHz SAW; 4) Interaction of two opposing 15 MHz SAW and 30 MHz ShVAW, resulting
in formation of a 60 MHz uniform electric field. The amplitude of the triple-
convolution signal (1,2,4) and that of the triple-correlation signal (la, 2a,3)
was measured as a function of the voltage across the input transducers and as
a function of the electrical conductivity of the semiconductor crystal (CdS).
On the basis of these data the effectiveness was evaluated of such four-wave
interactions, characterized by an internal-power-loss factor. The results
indicate the feasibility of performing integral transformations such as convo-
lutions and correlations with three signals by means of four-wave interaction.
Practical applications include acoustoelectronic convolvers and correlators with
functional control by means of a third input signal, optimal filtration with
arbitrary weight function added to test and reference signals, analysis of non-
stationary processes, adaptive Fourier transformation of FM signals without
linear frequency-modulation filters, and synthesis of radiation patterns with
spatially distributed antenna arrays. Figures 6; tables 1; references 11:

[ Abstract] Stroboscopic mixers are used, along with analog-to-digital converters,
for digital.data processing in measuring instruments. A study was made of the
integrated version of such a mixer on a GaAs structure. In its design the con-
ventional discharge resistor had been replaced with a switch circuit and a
differential transistor pair selected for signal reading with maximum attain-
able sensitivity and accuracy. The storing capacitor, a critical circuit com-
ponent, can be very small (0.01 pF), which also ensures its full charging at
frequencies reaching into the gigahertz range. The transistor of the amplifier
stage can be connected as: 1) A voltage emitter-follower with base disconnected
or grounded and signal picked off the emitter; 2) A single-stage amplifier with
base disconnected or grounded and signal picked off the collector with a trans-
fer ratio much higher than unity; 3) An emitter-follower with base connected
to the emitter and signal picked off the latter with a transfer ratio possibly
higher than unity; 4) A single-stage amplifier with base connected to the col-
lector and signal picked off the latter with stabilization of the transfer ratio
near unity. Experiments were performed on a chip with a Polycor substrate and
with an asymmetric microstrip line serving as channel for the input signal.
Measurements have confirmed the excellent performance characteristics of such
a mixer; a bandwidth of 2-3 GHz and a transfer ratio near unity at a noise level
not exceeding 0.5 mV. Figures 2; references: 4 Russian.

THROUGHPUT CAPACITY OF CHANNELS FOR ROUTING IN BASIC CHIPS

[ Abstract] Basic chips (bazovyye kristally) are used for large-scale micro-
circuit integration because of their versatility, which offers huge saving of
design time and design cost. Their effectiveness is determined, by the through-
put capacity of their channels for routing, referred to some given probability
of tracing all interconnections. It is evaluated here on the basis of a chip
model with the logic elements laid out in parallel rows separated by routing
channels. A basic chip with three variable photostencils forming two commuta-
tor layers with contact windows is considered for specificity. The throughput
capacity of the channels depends on structural parameters of the chip (number
of logic elements, functional complexity, gemoetry of fixed interconnections),
on complexity of the switching pattern, and on characteristics of the automatic
design system such as the efficiency of its layout and tracing algorithms. The
density of interconnections crossing the 00* -section at the center of a chip,
where it usually is maximum, serves as a measure of the throughput capacity.
The effect of design automation and the regularity of designed circuits as well
as the frequency of utilization of stocked logic elements and the law of dis-
tribution of interconnections along a channel must be taken into account. On
this basis, the mean number of output leads feeding into a channel and its dis-
persion are calculated first for a random arrangement of logic elements in rows
and then taking optimization into account. Figures 3; references 8: 4 Russian,

ETCHING OF POSITIVE ELECTRON AND X-RAY RESISTS DURING IRRADIATION BY MEDIUM-

[ Abstract] A study was made of the etching effect of ion bombardment on posi-^
tive electron and x-ray resists. Films of polymethyl methacrylate and of poly-
hexene sulfone were deposited on silicon or thermal SiO substrates and dried
at 17 0C and 90C, respectively, then bombarded with 25 -200 keV -.N
4
" ions in
an accelerator with oilless suction. The films were 0.4-1.3 ym thick, and
the ion current varied within the 0.2-0.45 uA/cm
2
range. The" experiments have
revealed that irradiation of these resists with doses larger than 10
13
ions/cm
2
causes partial etching, with the thickness of the removed layer Ad depending
5 7
on the irradiation dose D according to the relation Ad = B* log(D/D* ) over a
wide range (D* - dose at which etching begins corresponding to Ad = 0 on
linearly extrapolated Ad = f(D) curve, B =(Ad) _
10D
* )
The
mechanism of this
phenomenon is interpreted.theoretically in terms or breakdown processes in the
polymer and formation of volatile film fragments. The initial film thickness
plays an important role here, namely in a film with an initial thickness much
larger than the projected mean-free-path of ions there radiative-chemical trans-
formations occur while the irradiation dose changes from D* to D and the film
thickness, correspondingly, from d
fl
to d - Ad. On the basis of this interpre-
tation the constant B is evaluated in terms of electron collision energy and
nuclear collision energy with a reaction yield of film fragments removed by
vaporization and a reaction yield of film fragments cross-linked by diffusion.
From the fundamental relation between.etched layer thickness and ion irradiation
dose a simple expression is then derived for the variable etching rate. The
results of this study indicate that the etching process in such resists during
ion bombardment cannot be used for " xerolithography," because the process ceases
at some residual film thickness. The authors thank: V.A. Dravin and A.V. Spitsyn

lithography, and M.N. Filippov for photographing the structures under a scanning

MECHANISMS OF BREAKDOWN IN STRUCTURES OF GaAs FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS
28 Oct 82) pp 217 -225
KERNER, B.S., KOZLOV, N.A., NECHAYEV, A.M. and SINKEVICH, V.F.
[ Abstract] An.experimental study of GaAs field-effect transistors with a Schottky
barrier has revealed several phenomena which precede irreversible breakdown.
The experiments were performed on test structures consisting of epitaxial n-GaAs
films on GaAs< Cr> substrates with AuGe/Au-antigate and Al-gate contact tabs.
Measurements were made with voltage applied between source and drain (" gateless"
device) or between gate and source only, also in the transistor configuration.
The drain-source current-voltage characteristic has an initial N-range followed
by an S-range with a stable constant-current range between them, both N and S
ranges with " jumps" and attendant hysteresis. The trend of this characteristic
largely depends on the illumination. Glow " points" in the drain region appear
in addition to a rather uniform glow " trail," sweeping from drain to near the
source. The gate-drain current-voltage characteristic indicates avalanche
breakdown followed by an N range without jumps and then an S-range with " jumps,"
avalanche breakdown being irreversible in thin structures and becoming inde-
pendent of the film thickness in thick structures (film thicknesses, respectively
smaller or larger than the width of the space-charge region). The results and
their interpretation suggest several possible mechanisms leading to breakdown,
among them current saturation, formation of enhancement domain (or dipole domain
at the gate) with intensified electron entrapment in deep levels, depletion of
deep levels with subsequent recombination, hole drift to the n~(buffer)-layer,
5 8
formation of current filaments and lamina, also thermal breakdown occurring in
the cutoff mode. The authors thank S.Yu. Buslayey for assisting in the micro-
analysis of failed structures and V.V. Osipov for helpful comments. Figures 4;

DYNAMIC OF MAGNETIC FLUX QUANTA IN PERIODIC JOSEPHSON STRUCTURES WITH PARAMETRIC
CONTROL
14 Apr 82) pp 237 -243
ZUBKOV, A.A. and LAPIR, G.M.
[ Abstract] Magnetic flux quanta (vortices) in long quasi-one-dimensional
periodic Josephson structures can be made to propagate through such a structure
either by means of external control currents inducing an additional magnetic
flux, or by use of a superconductor ring containing a Josephson junction with
variable critical current as structural cell. The dynamic behavior of magnetic
flux quanta in such structures with parametric control is analyzed here theore-
tically on the basis of a 2(1)-loop 3(2)-branch equivalent electric circuit with
a Josephson junction in each branch, the center branch opening for the current
(and magnetic flux) to pass from the first loop to the next one. The system of
equations relating the magnetic fluxes and the corresponding electric loop cur-
rents as well as the superposed magnetic flux and the external control current
with the phase differences between successive junctions has been formulated for
a nonhomogeneous structure. It has been solved for the case of equal critical
currents of all three junctions and for each varied from minimum to nominal
level. The dependence of the minimum flux transfer time on the minimum critical
current of the center junction and the dependence of energy dissipation on flux
transfer time have been determined on this basis. The results are applied to
a shift register with single magnetic flux quanta. Its performance is evaluated
on the basis of corresponding equivalent-circuit equations, the latter reduced
from differential to difference form. Here the flux transfer time is calculated
as a function of the controlling magnetic flux, whereupon the maximum permissible
variance of critical currents and the minimum switching time for operation of
the device are established. The nonidenticity of junctions must and now can be
taken into account in the design. The authors thank P.A. Bakhtin, V.l. Makhov

CHARACTERISTIC CURVE OF HETEROGENEOUS MEDIUM FOR RECORDING OF OPTICAL DATA
5 July 82) pp 244-25 6
KABYCHENKOV, A.F., Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics, USSR Academy
of Sciences
[ Abstract] Two theories are constructed for the characteristic curve of hetero-
geneous optical data recording media, after the relation between optical density
and structural parameters (size of particles, particle distribution and concen-
tration, film thickness) has already been established. The relation between
structural changes and exposure causing them presents a multiparticle problem
of motion for magnetic particles illuminated in an external field. Such a
problem cannot be solved rigorously and only two other approaches are feasible.
In the phenomenological theory a heterogeneous medium is treated as a continuous
one with an absorption coefficient varying appropriately from the unmolten region
to the molten region and with the evolution of the temperature profile calculated
on this basis, taking into account thermal diffusion and preservation of heat
balance. In the microscopic theory all particles are split into pairs of closest
neighbors with the center-to-center line at a smaller than critical angle to
the direction of the field. Calculations according to this theory are based
on pairwise magneto-dipole interaction of particles, with each pair " particle"
having a cross section for absorption which decreases with exposure time. Both
models yield a satisfactory agreement with experimental data, the phenomenologi-
cal theory being more general with regard to mechanisms of changes in the ab-
sorption coefficient. Calculations are aided by a transformation of coordinates
which allows reduction of the problem with moving boundary to one with station-
ary boundary, and by a Laplace transformation for the propagation of the melting
front from a spherical particle at the center of a spherical binder cell with
subsequent inverse Laplace transformation according to the Stefan condition.

[ Abstract] Power systems can now include basically new devices to handle the
problems of regulation of active and reactive power electric energy accumu-
lators. There are many different types of energy accumulators which in prin-
ciple can significantly improve the functioning of modern power systems. This
article studies the capabilities of these accumulators and notes the require-
ments of power systems for them. A table shows various types of accumulators,
including those which accumulate energy and electromagnetic or electrostatic
fields such as new types of capacitors. Ways of connecting energy accumulators
to power systems are noted. Operating modes of accumulators, including charging,
storage, discharge and emergency modes, are briefly described. The possibility
of using energy accumulators as multifunctional devices capable of performing
a number of tasks is noted. These include: 1) Satisfaction of consumers with
variable load schedules by means of power plants with constant output; 2)
Assurance of balance of active and reactive power at points of connection of
accumulators; 3) Maintenance of constant voltages at certain points on the power
system; 4) Assurance of static stability of possible operating conditions of
the system; and 5 ) Regulation of the flow of exchange power between power sys-
tems. Studies have shown that in systems where the effectiveness of decreasing
power losses is important, the economic effect of the use of accumulators in-
creases as they come closer to the consumers of power. In these situations,
new types of capicators operating at relatively low power are the most effec-
tive. Figures 3; tables 2; references 4: 3 Russian, 1 Western.

caused by damage to steam generating boilers, including 3 failures caused by

[ Abstract] Selection of the optimal period for active human activity with maxi-
mum utilization of daylight hours can reduce the consumption of electric power
for illumination, smoothing peak hours of consumption in the evening. Some 5 0
nations in the world use " summer" time [ daylight savings time] , saving 5 00 mil-
lion kWhr of electric power, 1.3 percent of the total consumption for illumi-
nation and 0.2 percent of the total annual electric power consumption in West
Germany alone. In 1981, summer time was tested in the USSR from 1 April through
30 September. This article suggests a method for estimating the effectiveness
of summer time in power conservation and uses the method to estimate the savings
of electric power during the summer season for the Moscow Power System. The
method is based on comparing adjusted mean monthly load graphs of power con-
sumption over a period of several years. The most positive effect of summer
62
time was found to be in April, the least in July. The total savings of elec-
tric power for the Moscow Power System for the 6 months period was 204 million
kW-hr, 12 kW-hr per resident of the area. The results for Moscow are affected
by its location at 5 6N. The results might be different for power systems in
other latitudes. Figure 1; references 3: 2 Russian, 1 Western.

EXPERIENCE OF OPERATION OF OVERHEAD 35 -7 5 0 kV ELECTRIC POWER TRANSMISSION LINES

[ Abstract] According to data obtained from all reports of emergency and non-
standard situations in Soyuztekhenergo for 1981, all failures of overhead power
transmission lines in the 35 -7 5 0 kV range can be classified as follows: 5 per-
cent were emergencies, 40 percent were class 1 failures and 5 5 percent were
63
class 2 failures. Most of the failures were caused by atmospheric effects, wind
loads exceeding calculated values causing 12.4 percent, ice loads 3.1 percent
and combined wind and ice loads 3.9 percent. Lightning surges caused 12 per-
cent of power line failures. Analysis of failures in October-November of 1981
indicates a failure to consider properly the combined effects of wind and ice
during planning of power transmission lines. Instructions assume that the ice
forming on a power line will have a mass of 0.9 g/cm
3
. Actually frost is formed
with a density of 0.2-0.4 g/cm
3
, meaning that although the weight calculated
is correct, the area upon which the wind acts is much greater than that called
for in the standards, so that combined ice and wind loads are greater than the
design loads in some cases. Several emergency situations which resulted from
this design error are briefly described. Suggestions are made for improving
the reliability of power transmission lines: during the frost season, utilize
maps of standard wind loads which were developed at the scientific
research institute; assure that the planned requirements and standards documents
are always met during construction of power lines concerning correct mounting
of towers in the soil and their installation on foundations; assure that accept-
ance for operation of newly constructed power transmission lines is in strict
accordance to their plans with no defects or shortcomings; and intensify moni-
toring of observance by the population and other organizations of the rules for
protection of electric power transmission networks.

with ornothologists confirm the opinion that it would be impossible by sight
or sound signals to frighten the birds from the line towers, because they would
soon become accustomed to the signals. Therefore, the main means of prevention
of power line failures caused by birds is to install special guards on the
towers in order to prevent birds from landing on the towers above the insula-
tors or power transmission lines. Based on the dimensions of the birds, designs
of vertical spikes have been developed for this purpose. Because the bird's
legs are quite long, the spikes must be equally long in order to prevent land-
ings. Typical designs are diagrammed. Figures 4; references 5 : 4 Russian,

[ Abstract] Data are presented on the dynamics of the increase in the number of
fixed instruments on 110-7 5 0 kV power lines used to determine the location of
damage sites during the period 19.7 1 to 1981. During this time, the number of
such instruments increased by a factor of 2.5 , reaching 13,47 2 in the 87 power
systems and the unified electric power system, some 95 percent of the instru-
ments being of type FIP manufactured by the Riga Experimental Plant " Energo-
avtomatika." Some 90 percent of the total length of power lines over 20 km in
length are equipped with such devices, including 100 percent in 18 power sys-
tems. The error in determination.of the distance to a damage location is ran-
dom, normally distributed. Improvement in the quality of manufacture of fixed
instruments, improvement of their operational servicing together with the use
of optimal computer based calculation methods can increase the effectiveness
of remote determination of the location of damage based on the parameters of
the fault condition. At present the effectiveness of location of unstable short
circuit sites is 33 percent. Tables 3.

[ Abstract] It has been 10 years since 7 5 0 kV power transmission lines began
to be constructed in the European USSR. These new lines have significantly
increased the throughput capacity of power transmission lines, allowed the
output of power from a number of large electric powerplants, and created the
possibility of transition to parallel operation of the unified USSR Electric
Power System with the combined power system of CEMA member nations, accompanied
by a significant increase in the delivery of power and energy and the scale of
implementation of energy integration. These 10 years have seen a number of
corrections and refinements in the design of 7 5 0 kV lines, so that it is only
now possible to go over to standardization of the design of such lines, 7 5 0 kV
substations and equipment. The significant influence of factors of uncertainty
of initial information should be considered in selecting parameters for new
stages of electric power transmission, and the general regularities of system
development should be more thoroughly considered. Tables 1; references 4:

[ Abstract] In any power amplification and distribution circuit where the output
of a preamplifier is fed through a n-channel divider to the inputs of n identi-
cal output amplifiers to be combined at the outputs of these amplifiers in a
common load by a bridge n-channel adder, the failure of any output amplifier
causes a loss of efficiency. This is because not all of the power of the re-
maining final amplifiers goes to the common load, but is dissipated in the
isolating resistors of the adder. This paper analyzes some ways of designing
bridge power sumation systems so that with the failure of some of the final
amplifiers, independent operation of the remaining ones is assured, along with
the delivery of the bulk of their overall power to the common load. Two of the
approaches use switched coupling transformers while a third circumvents switch-
ing difficulties through a special transformer configuration. In the latter
and preferable case, the minimum power adding efficiency is 97 percent. Figures

[ Abstract] The units which start the operation of high-speed automatic reserve
power switches at substations with motor loads contain two frequency monitoring
units for each sectional power supply, the unit with the lower setting used to
start the automatic equipment for its section, the unit with the higher setting
used to block operation of the automatic redunancy section. Modern devices
containing frequency monitoring units thus are rather complex. It is therefore
desirable to seek a new hardware base for the implementation of frequency devices.
This article suggests the use of a magnetically controlled resonant sealed
switch (gerkon) operating in the vibrating mode at a frequency close to the
natural frequency of mechanical oscillations of the moving contact. Loss of
power on a motor load causes a continuous drop in frequency of the voltage
generated with a slow.change in its level. This causes the system to operate,
bringing on the reserve power supply. Characteristics of closure of sealed
switch contacts are illustrated graphically. Figures 2; references: 4 Russian.

[ Abstract] In a cable, a light guide is subject to physical tension which is
added to thermoelastic stresses. The light guide breaks down under the influ-
ence of the tension applied to it, causing the development of defects either
on the surface or within the light guide. These defects are represented by
the inert transparency of the glass, usually measured at low temperatures so
that slow processes of crack growth because of corrosion and thermal fluctuation
are not included.. A mathematical model of the gradual failure of a light guide
is developed, providing an apparatus for estimating reliability, and allowing
in particular optimization of light guides based on this parameter. The model
is also suitable for analysis of other methods of increasing reliability, for
example, improving the initial distribution of surface defects, hydraulic iso-
lation of the surface, use of wetting coatings and various methods of thermo-
elastic stress redistribution. Figures 1; references 11: 5 Russian, 6 Western.

. Measurements were made in a vacuum cryostat, with radi-
ation entering through a white polyethylene window collected by a converging

Silicon surface) and with an absorbent ferrite coating (rough surface), the
spectral sensitivity being higher in the latter case with minimum interference
effect and in both cases increasing slightly with the wavelength. The bolometer
sensitivity was determined on the basis of comparison of the output signals with
those of an OAP-5 optoacoustic receiver placed alongside in the vacuum compart-
ment. Measurements were also made without and with failure in the tube, the
power sensitivity peaking to a much higher level of volts per watt at a much
smaller bias current with filters. The same sensitivity in both cases was, for
the purpose of quantitative correlation, achieved by adjustment of the bias
current. The spectral characteristics of the polyethylene window and filters
were measured separately, for purposes of calibration, selection, and tuning.

METHOD OF DETERMINING SPECTRAL POLARIZATION CHARACTERISTICS OF DEVICES FOR
TELEMETRY OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
script received 28 Jul 82) pp 10-12
BELYAYEV, B.I., ZAYTSEVA, V.A., PLYUTA, V.Ye., and YANOVSKIY, A.F.
[ Abstract] A method has been developed for calibration of spectrometric instru-
ments which takes into account both the polarization characteristic of such an
instrument and the degree of polarization of incident radiation. The gist of
this method is determination of the absolute spectral sensitivity, namely the
ratio of output voltage to spectral density of the incident radiation intensity.
The relations governing the instrument performance and which are necessary for
its evaluation, are derived with the aid of an etalon, specifically for MSS-2
small fast-response spectrometers. The calibration procedure, with an SI8-200U
luminometer lamp used as an etalon, consists of two steps. First the instrument
is calibrated with respect to wavelength, using sources of line spectra and
interference-type filters. Then the instrument is calibrated with respect to
spectral sensitivity, disregarding the polarization of incident radiation, with
the polarization characteristics of both instrument and etalon determined sub-
sequently. The calibration equipment also includes, in addition to the etalon,
a collimator with an incandescent filament in its focal plane, a set of three
neutral attenuating filters in the path of radiation before a diaphragm, and
two sources of line spectra: a PRK-4 mercury-arc lamp and a GSh-3 neon glow-
discharge lamp. For polarization measurements the following are inserted be-
hind the diaphragm: 1) Polarizer plant (dichroic polaroid) which is, rotatable
into positions parallel or perpendicular to the slit; 2) Adjustable intensity
equalizing depolarizer; and 3) Polarization cancelling depolarizer. The ac-
curacy of calibration depends on at least seven possible systematic errors,
which do not add up to an overall rms error larger than 9.3 percent and 7 .6 per-
cent for spectral density of incident radiation intensity lower than 5 * 10" ^

[ Abstract] High-precision glass and quartz prisms are used in telemetry and
geodesy for reflecting light beams, visible and near infrared, along a parallel
return path. The use of BaF
2
crystals would extend the effectiveness of this
method to light beams in the far infrared range (10-15 Um). A problem here is
the thermal expansivity of this material, much higher than that of quartz. The
effect of temperature variation over the 100-(-60)C range on the divergence of
reflected light beams were measured in an experimental study using a TBV-8000/2
temperature-pressure chamber with a glass window. Several light beam reversing
prisms of FRB BaF crystals were mounted without clearance in AMG-6 aluminum
alloy holders (similar coefficients of thermal expansion) with an adjustable
ring and placed at the window inside the chamber, along with a control prism
of KU-1 quartz glass. The test equipment also included a light source with
objective lens, a camera with objective lens, a light filter, an ocular-micro-
meter, an autocollimator, and a pentaprism. The results of direct visual
readings and readings on photographs indicate that the divergence of light beams
reflected by prisms of either barium fluoride or quartz glass remains constant,
within 20-25 %, over the entire -60-(+100C temperature range. Figures 3;

PRESENT STATE OF ART AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS IN FIBER-OPTIC TRANSDUCERS OF
MECHANICAL QUANTITIES
script received 9 Jan 82) pp 5 7 -60
GRECHINSKIY, D.A. and PATLAKH, A.L.
[ Abstract] All fiber-optic transducers of mechanical quantities reducible to
displacement (vibrations, pressure, acceleration) can be classified into those
where the fiber only transmits optical signals and those where the fiber con-
verts mechanical perturbations to optical signals. The first group includes
instrument transducers with the interaction space in an open optical channel
and converters with two light guides, one for the primary signal from radiation
source to test object and one for the useful secondary signal from test object
to photoreceiver. In this group also belong scanning transducers and multipoint
transducers with multilayer coaxial light guides for preventive indication of
69
limiting vibration amplitudes. Transducers of the second group operate on the
basis of various physical principles such as change in the coupling between
light guides, change of the polarization plane or in the phase of the optical
signal, change in the refractive index of materials, and loss of total reflection
caused by mechanical action through smooth or microdiscrete change of curvature.
A major problem in transducers with loss of total reflection is a large constant
signal component, a solution to this problem being a compound light guide with
two channels (triple-layer fiber with inner and outer channel). Transducers
with microdiscrete deflections are highly sensitive. They can be designed for
telemetry and analysis of vibrations. Figures 6; references 34: 23 Russian,

[ Abstract] The sensitivity of a phase fiber optic pressure transducer is de-
termined by the physical and mechanical parameters of the material, its elastic-
optical coefficients and fiber length. An experimental study was performed on
the sensitivity of a two-arm single-mode fiber optic pressure transducer as a
function of fiber coating and sensing element design. A homodyne fiber optic
pressure transducer (Mach-Zander interferometer) was used with single mode
optical fiber in the.measuring and reference branches. Quartz single mode fiber
was used with epoxy varnish coating (light guide core diameter 8 ] im, reflecting
shell diameter 60 ym, varnish film thickness 3 to 4 um and covered with capron
shell, conducting core 8 um, reflecting shell diameter 5 0 um, capron shell thick-
ness 800 um. The experiments showed that the use of fibers with coatings with
a low modulus of elasticity (capron) can increase the sensitivity of the fiber
optic transducer by 20 dB. References: 3 Russian.

[ Abstract] New equipment has been developed for reproducing photographic pat-

include a pair of magnifying collector lenses with an iris between them which
project the shape of the light source, after reflection by a 45 mirror and
passage through a stop, onto the principal plane of the first of a second pair
of lenses, the latter separated by an illuminance equalizing fiber plate, then
a filter, and a condenser lens which projects the source image into infinity
and the stop onto a photographic templet. A special achromatic stereoscopic
microscope with two eyepieces coupled through two sets of mirrors to a common
obj ective is provided for alignment and image control. The equipment has excel-
lent performance characteristics, namely minimal decentering
of the objective indicated by breakup of the diffraction ring and minimal astig-
matism and coma at the periphery with satisfactory image sharpness and contrast

ACOUSTICOELECTRONIC PARAMETRIC AMPLIFICATION OF IR AND VISIBLE BAND ELECTROMAG-

[ Abstract] This work studies acoustioelectronic parametric amplification of
electromagnetic waves in planar optical wave guides in which the film and sub-
strate are anisotropic. The birefringence in the anisotropic film eliminates
degeneration of the TE and TM waves in the asymmetrical wave guide. It is
therefore possible to meet the conditions of wave synchronism even if the elec-
tromagnetic waves correspond to modes with identical numbers but different
polarizations. This allows operation in a single mode. Thus, in optical wave
guides with natural isotropy, the acousticoelectronic parametric mechanism can
be used both for amplification and for muldation of IR and visible band elec-
tromagnetic waves in a single mode. Figure 1; references 5 : 4 Russian, 1

materials were used 60-85 % carborundum (grain size 6) or 60% electrocorundum
powder (grain sizes 6, M40, M20). The results indicate several advantages of
grinding with bonded rather than free abrasive, namely self-sharpening and
higher productivity in addition to a better surface finish. Carbolite binder
with 60 vol.percent of M20 electrocorundum in the tool are -recommended for best
performance. Figures 2; tables 1: references: 2 Russian.

PROPERTIES OF METALLIZED LIGHT GUIDES FOR OPTICAL CABLES

[ Abstract] A theoretical study is presented of the most important transmission
parameters of metallized light guides produced by applying a coating of Fe, Ni,
Cu, Al, In, Pb or Sn by atomization or drawing the fiber through a melt. A
theoretical model is derived consisting of three layers in the cross section:
the core of radius a, a shell with outside radius b and the metal. It is found
that the metal coating suppresses shell waves almost without increasing the
attenuation of the guided waves. Optical cables with metal-coated light guides
are superior to polymer coated light guides in a number of important parameters.
Only special cases in which points with great differences of electric potentials
must be connected are excluded from the range of use of metallized light guides.

SiO +GeO core and SiO. shell. The numerical aperture was 0.25 , core diameter
5 0 ym, shell diameter 130 ym. Analysis of the operation of the model showed
that the noise level in the receiving and recording portion limited the sensi-
tivity to 1 UW. Because for normal operation of a normal demodulator threshold
device the signal must be about 10 dB louder than noise, the dynamic energy
potential of the communications line the permissible attentuation in the fiber
line is about 20 dB. This indicates a possible maximum transmission distance
of about 6 km. The upper frequency limit of the transmission band of the com-

[ Abstract] Wavelength division multiplexing is the most promising means for
practical implementation of fiber optic communications with multiple channels
transmitted through a single fiber. The optical bandwidth of 10,000 A determined
by the transparency window in available optical materials is sufficient to multi-
plex at least 100 GHz channels per light guide, and possibly 10 times more.
Wavelength division multiplexing hardware at each end of the line can be iden-
tical, so this article primarily discusses wavelength channel dividers. Prac-
tical wavelength division multiplexing devices can be made from interference
filters if a very few channels need be divided, or a diffraction grating plus
lens system to spread the channels out among an array of fiber optic light guides.
A five channel divider and a 10 channel divider are discussed briefly. The
problems of information input and output as well as wave guide channel separa-
tion are discussed for a wavelength-division multiplexer on a 30 x 5 0 mm sili-
con substrate. It.is assumed that in the next few years communications systems
with wavelength division multiplexing of dozens of channels through a single
light guide many kilometers in length will be achieved. Figures 6; references

DETERMINATION OF AFC OF VARIABLE LENGTH LIGHT GUIDES

length. This method, supplementing traditional methods, can be used to test ;.:'.
the parameters of fiber as it is drawn or in other cases when the AFC of a short

obtained by measuring the transmission factor of the fiber at a fixed light
carrier modulation frequency as the length of the light guide changes. The
method can be used if the group delay time varies linearly with light guide
length. The method does not require modulation or photodetection of light over
a wide frequency band and can be used to test or monitor the parameters of a

surface dielectric wave guide wave) oscillations of a system consisting of a
dielectric resonator located next to a dielectric wave guide, forming an open
system of two interacting bodies (essentially a new compound resonator). Sys-
tem oscillations are analyzed on a two-dimensional model by means of an inte-
gral equation method. This approach and ideology can be used to study the
characteristics of rejector filters, or extended to analysis of the filter
characteristics of systems of resonators promising as multiple-circuit filters
in integrated microwave and optical band systems. Figures 3; references 4

USE OF OPTICAL WAVE GUIDES IN PHYSICAL EFFECT TRANSDUCERS

KHOTYAINTSEV, S.N.
[ Abstract] The most promising trend in producing transducers compatible with
optical data transmission systems is the use of optical methods for producing
the primary information. Optical wave guides themselves are sensitive to ex-
ternal physical effects, meaning that they can be used as physical effect trans-
ducers. Examples include supersensitive microphones and hydrophones, gyro-
scopes, temperature transducers and magnetic field sensors. Several examples
of coils of optical wave guides used as transducers are discussed. Optical
wave guides can also be used in the systems of coherent and incoherent optical
measurement instruments such as interferometers
3
Doppler velocity meters,
vibration instruments and holographic devices. New types of optical wave guides
7 6
must be developed designed particularly for use as transducers. The polariza-
tion characteristics of single mode wave guides must be improved and wave guides
must be developed which are sensitive to pressure or temperature. More new
hardware is needed for integrated optical transducers. The search will con-
tinue for new principles for the design of transducers and new methods of sig-
nal processing utilizing the possibilities provided by modern fiber optics.

[ Abstract] An interferometer is required in a Doppler speed measurement system
to separate the Doppler frequency shift of the radiation scattered by the moving
object. The use of a fiber optic line allows remote measurement. A modified
Michelson fiber optic interferometer is described, intended to achieve minimal
distortion of the Doppler difference signal due to the dispersion characteris-
tics of the fiber optic lines. The topology of the multichannel speed measure-
ment device is described, operating from a single laser with both series and
parallel formation of channels. Experimental studies were performed using mock-
ups made of multimode quartz quasigradient wave guides with core diameter 60
ym, aperture 0.228, attentuation 12 dB/km. The transition to a fiber optic
system allowed the signal/noise ratio and actual sensitivity and accuracy to be
increased by one or two orders of magnitude. The results show that the charac-
teristics of fiber optic Doppler speed measurement devices can be significantly
improved by further modification of the Michelson wave guide interferometer to
achieve better separation of the forward and reverse radiation and allow control
of the configuration of the measurement volume and reference signal level.

laser with a beam
diameter of 8 mm. Mirror optics are used to focus the IR radiation of the laser

core and envelope diameters 60 and 120 lim, aperture 0.2. It has been found by
experience that most fiber optic elements (permanent joints, directed branches,
various transducers) have better characteristics and are easier to manufacture
when they are made by the method of laser welding. Scribing can also be used
to produce a surface of complex shape during the manufacture of transducers.

[ Abstract] An electrooptical Bragg modulator based on AgiLiTaO- wave guides is
designed and optimized. Optimization of the characteristics of the modulator
requires calculation of their variation as a function of electrode system and
wave guide parameters. In contrast to Ti:LiTaO wave guides in which diffusion
of Ti occurs from a layer of known strength in a crystal, diffusion in Ag:LiTaO
wave guides is characterized by a constant concentration of Ag on the crystal
surface throughout the entire process. The variation of specific power as a
function of period of the structure of the electrodes is calculated for various
values of electrode parameters. The specific power is 0.9 mW/MHz. The minimum
specific power of a Bragg modulator based on Ag'.LiTaO, wave guides is 0.17 mW/MHz
and is achieved with the maximum value of overlap integral and an increase in
control voltage. Figures 2; references 5 : 3 Russian, 2 Western.

ARRANGEMENT OF PHOTORECEIVERS IN INTERFEROMETERS

MERKISHIN, G.V.
[ Abstract] The arrangement of discrete photoreceivers for recording of inter-
ference patterns is examined from the standpoint of optimum automatic data pro-
cessing. The necessary geometrical relations for extraction of useful data from
signals of several identical photoreceivers are established on the basis of
optical relations between two reflecting point objects and parameters of the
resulting interference pattern. Measurements in the case of four unknown inter-
ference parameters (magnitude of constant intensity component, amplitude of
7 8
alternating intensity component, frequency and phase of space harmonic) require
a linear array of four photoreceivers. Various ratios of distance n between
the outer two (i,j) to the distance m between the inner two (k,l) are considered,
assuming a symmetric array and zero distance between the photosensitive pads.
The instrument sensitivity is calculated depending on this ratio, as a whole
r\ 7
number ( - 11, 3) or an improper fraction ( -x). The ratio of the signal
m m j
differences (S..-S.)/(S,-S-) is calculated as a function of the space-harmonic
frequency, and^ rom thxs relation are established three sets of conditions
(photoreceiver array configurations) for maximum sensitivity as well as the
corresponding ranges of optimum width of the photosensitive pads. Figures 3;

NOISE BAND OF THERMOVISOR WITH MULTIELEMENT RECEIVER

UKHOV,. B.V. and MITYANINA, T.I.
[ Abstract] The noise band of a thermovisor with a multielement receiver is
calculated, taking into account both the intrinsic noise of the receiver and
noise in the preamplifier. Both are lumped into an equivalent receiver noise,
after the frequency characteristics of their spectral densities have been estab-
lished. Several situations are considered, the first one being a noise band
which includes not only white noise but also nonwhite noise. Another is a pre-
amplifier with a frequency characteristic similar to that of a network con-
sisting of two stages connected in series but decoupled from one another, the
first an integrating and the second a differentiating one. A special case is
an approximately flat (rectangular) frequency characteristic. The dependence
of noise bandwidth on the number of receiver elements is determined, in terms
of upper and lower cutoff frequencies, on the basis of minimum pulse duration.
From this relation is determined the critical number of sensitive elements in
a linear receiver array either perpendicular or parallel to the direction of
scanning, depending on which orientation yields a higher temperature sensitivity.
The results, applicable to aircraft thermovisors with continuous sweep, can be
extended to thermovisors with periodic sweep such as those used in medicine
and in industry. Figures 3; tables 1; references 6: 5 Russian, 1 Western

ESTIMATING INSTRUMENT ERROR OF INFRARED RADIATION METERS
script received 20 Sep 82) pp 3-5
SHMEL'KOV, K.I.
[ Abstract] The measurement characteristics of infrared radiation meters are
analyzed in terms of instrument response to the incident radiation flux from
a target. The error of such an instrument caused by heating of the optical
channel and its only partial transparence is estimated, assuming that the tar-
get completely covers the field of vision. The design of the optical system
is assumed to ensure that the projection of the reference source completely
covers the instrument eye, that the screen area is divided equally between
reflecting bars and transmitting holes, and that reradiation from the radia-
tion receiver as well as from other elements in the plane of the image has been
minimized to a negligible level. The electric output signal is calculated on
this basis, proportional to the instrument sensitivity, taking into account the
emissivity of target and reference source, emissivity and transmittivity of the
instrument entrance window, and reflectivity of the screen. The equation for
the output signal is differentiated with respect to each variable, separately,
and the derivatives are converted to finite differences, while the radiance of
target, reference source, window and screen is expressed in terms of respective
temperatures. Relations are obtained for the temperature excess of the sensor
area over its equilibrium temperature and for the change of equilibrium tempera-
" ture caused by absorption of radiant energy. An upper bound for this change of
equilibrium temperature, as a function of instrument and target parameters and
the radiation wavelength, is then established for bolometers of the metal type
or the semiconductor type and for pyroelectric radiation receivers. Figures

Consideration was given to the dispersion characteristics of the fiber and the

[ Abstract] The advantage of signal transmission over optical-fiber cables is
the extremely small loss, down to 0.01 dB/km in the 4-ym wave band at trans-
mission rates over a wide range up to 1 Gbit/s, so that up to 100 km long and
conceivably up to 1000 km long line segments can be installed without inter-
mediate repeater points. Such cables are also highly immune to external elec-
tromagnetic interference and do not emit radiation into the environment. The
line equipment of optical-cable communication systems (OKSS) with pulse-code-
modulation (IKM) of group signals includes a set of optoelectronic devices. An
avalanche photodiode and a p-i-n photodiode are used in the photoreceiver. The
preamplifier is a transimpedance amplifier on a field-effect transistor in the
OKSS-2 (IKM-120) system and on a bipolar transistor in the OKSS-3,4 (IKM-480,
1920) systems. An automatic-gain-control loop is put around the avalanche
photodiode, the preamplifier, and the photoreceiver output amplifier. A quartz
filter in the repeater timing circuit ensures high quality and high stability
of tuning at all transmission rates. Gradiental fibers are used for 0.85 ym and
1.3um wavelengths. The line equipment includes measuring instruments for check-
ing the critical performance parameters such as supply voltage, transmission
rate, power output, sensitivity, fiber entrance loss and dynamic range of input
signal. The operating code is selected from ITTCC standards, which recommend
two-level mBnB or mBlP codes for transmission and multilevel codes (e.g., HDB3)
for interfacing. Figures 1; tables 1; references 14: 4 Russian, 10 Western.

FIBER LIGHT GUIDES FOR THE MIDDLE IR BAND
26, No 5 , May 83 (manuscript received 18 Oct 82) pp 27 -35
DIANOV, Ye.M.
[ Abstract] It is possible in principle to create fiber light guides with very
low losses, on the order of 0.01 dB/km and with very low material dispersion,
which could theoretically allow transmission over distances on the order of
1000 km without relays. The position and value of the minimum loss in a fiber
light guide are determined by two primary mechanisms: Rayleigh scattering, which
decreases with increasing wavelength according to X~^ and the edge of infrared
absorption. If materials could be found in which the edge of infrared absorption
were shifted into the long wave area of.the spectrum, the rapid drop in Rayleigh
scattering intensity with increasing wavelength should shift the minimum loss
into the long wave area and decrease its value. Calculations have shown that
81
there are many materials, glasses.and crystals, in which optical losses in the
middle IR band (2-11 urn) could have values of 10~
2
dB/km or even lower. This
review studies materials which are promising for the manufacture of fiber light
guides with low losses in the middle IR band, the status of affairs in the area
of manufacturing technology of such light guides, the basic characteristics of
light guides and the prospects for developments in this area. Germanium dioxide
glass, fluoride glass, chalcogenide glass, alkali halide crystals and phthalium
halides are discussed. The immediate future for IR fiber light guides is dis-
cussed by analogy with the past, suggesting that IR fiber light guides with
extremely low losses will be developed by the late 1980's. Figures 9; refer-

EFFECT OF SCANNING SYSTEMS WITH PLANE MIRRORS ON LOCATION AND QUALITY OF IMAGE

[ Abstract] The performance of scanning systems with oscillating or rotating
plane mirror is analyzed from the standpoint of image location and quality.
In principle, the dimensions of the image of a point object depend only on
aberrations in the objective and do not change as the mirror turns about its
axis through some angle. In reality, however, the relations are more compli-
cated because of scattering and the location of the image on the sensing pad
of a radiation receiver will depend on the coordinates of the object. The
amount of image defocusing and the principal dimensions of the scattering spot
on the receiver pad are calculated here as functions of the scan angle, for an
oscillating mirror before the objective and for an oscillating mirror or a
rotating mirror at the back of the objective. Figures 4; references: 7 Russian.

[ Abstract] It is suggested that optical raster systems be used in order to
produce a two dimensional scan of a spectrum. This allows the use of dis-
persing elements with only one spectral order. Rasters made of individual
optical elements must be located near the surface on which the spectrum is
82
imaged from the output of the dispersing element. Each raster element forms
an image of a small portion of the line spectrum located within its field of
vision. Experiments have studied an optical raster of seven identical rectangu-
lar prisms. A diagram of the device is presented. A color image was trans-
mitted using the principle of time sequential transmission of color information,
with each point in the image corresponding to various spectral components at
various times. A diagram of an experimental installation for transmission of
a two-dimensional color image is presented. The system was used to transmit
a color slide. The experimental results confirmed the possibility in principle
and expediency of using raster elements to transmit two-dimensional images and
show that the use of the principle of sequential transmission of color can ex-
pand the range of images which can be transmitted by spectral scanning systems.

[ Abstract] Various forms of cellular structure are used for minimizing the mass
of mirrors in optical devices, much attention being given to sandwich structures
including a honeycomb layer between two solid plates. Such structures are
characterized by an anisotropy of thermophysical and mechanical properties.
Here several variants are compared with respect to thermal conductivity, thermal
expansivity, maximum deflection under thermal stress, as well as typical geo-
metrical dimensions (thicknesses) and other structural parameters. Calculations
are based on an equivalent solid structure of a disperse quasi-homogeneous ma-
terial, with the equivalent thermal conductivity defined as the sum of heat
transfer coefficients corresponding to all components of the heat transfer pro-
cess under steady-state conditions. Theoretical calculations are checked against
experimental data obtained with a resistance-type electric heater with voltage
control, a thermal insulation, and circulating coolant water. The characteris-
tics of four structures: 1) Honeycomb filler of fused quartz between solid
sheaths of fused quartz; 2) Honeycomb filler of Invar foil between solid sheaths
of fused quartz; 3) Honeycomb filler of aluminum foil between solid sheaths of
fuged quartz; and 4) Honeycomb filler of aluminum foil between solid sheaths of
aluminum) are compared with those of a monolithic mirror structure of fused
quartz. In all cases the mirror is treated as a shell of revolution, behaving
mechanically in accordance with Kirchhoff-Love and Duhamel-Neumann hypotheses,
with only conductive and radiative heat transfer at the surfaces (no heat con-
vection in the honeycomb filler) under a constant incident thermal flux. Fig-

[ Abstract] Experimental results obtained from studies of a section of a fiber
optic communications line model with a Y-splitter based on strip line waveguides
are described. The experiments used an optical fiber 5 0 urn in diameter, enve-
lope diameter 15 0 um, aperture 0.2. The splitter was made on a substrate con-
sisting of glass for photographic plates. The flat waveguides were manufactured
through an aluminum mask in a melt of AgNo:KN0 with a ratio of 1:10 by weight.
The flat strip waveguides were 5 0 ym deep. Three Y-splitters were made with
angles of 1.5 , 2 and 3 in order to determine the optimal angle. It was found
from a comparison of the experimental values that the splitting angle has prac-
tically no influence on losses within this range of angles. The length of the
branching portion of the Y-splitter was 1.2 cm, distance between output :wave
guide 600 um, splitting angle 2.3. One of the major parameters of a Y-splitter
is the decoupling between channels. In the systems studied, the decoupling was
33 dB when the fibers were tightly joined with the flat waveguides and 29-30 dB
when the distance from the end of the fiber to the flat end of the waveguide was
increased to 40 urn. Total losses were 6 dB. References: 3 Western.

CHECKING WAVEFRONT OF LASER BEAM

[ Abstract] When a telescopic device is used for widening a laser beam, it be-
comes necessary to check the wavefront of the wider beam for planarity. One
method of doing this is by means of a displacement interferometer with a plane-
parallel plate, the period of the interference pattern being a measure of wave-
front nonplanarity. This method is based on a direct relation between inter-
ference parameters and aberrational distortion in the laser beam. This is
demonstrated according to the laws of geometrical optics, assuming an only
small wavefront curvature. The radius of the wavefront curvature in a laser
beam leaving the telescopic device is proportional to the thickness of the
interferometer plate and the period of the interference pattern, inversely
proportional to the wavelength, and proportional to the quantity

[ Abstract] A study is made of a linear indicator based on a light emitting
neuristor made of thyristor optrons. The design and control system of the
device can be simplified by the use of the neuristor as a scale indicator, be-
cause it requires only a power supply and source of operating pulses. It is
an electric analog of the axon of a nerve cell and performs its main function
of transmission at a constant velocity of an impulse without attentuation. The
most promising light-emitting neuristor is a thyristor optron-based device con-
sisting of cells connected in parallel, with the light-emitting diode of another
optron connected in series in each cell with the photothyristor, the photo-
thyristor of the light-emitting diode being located in the next cell, plus a
loading resistor and capacitor. An experimental study of a scale indicator
showing voltage was performed using the neuristor model described. The results
presented confirm the promise of the use of scale linear indicators based on
light-emitting neuristors. The best results are achieved by the use of inte-
grated light emitting neuristors which have the minimum dispersion of element
parameters. The author thanks L.A. Kalugin for assistance in production of the

ON EVOLUTION OF SMALL TRANSVERSE PERTURBATIONS AT A SLIGHTLY NON-UNIDIMENSIONAL
SOLITON FRONT
No 4, Apr 83 (manuscript received 10 Aug 82) pp 5 04-5 06
PESENSON, M.Z., Saratov State University
[ Abstract] Two classes of second order partial differential equations comprise
the starting point for an analysis of small perturbations propagating via a
soliton wave front: the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili type equation and the slightly
two-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation. It is assumed that in the one-dimen-
sional case there are stable solutions in the form of a traveling soliton. The
geometric optics proposed in earlier literature reduces the problem of two-
dimensional soliton dynamics to a nonlinear hyperbolic system of equations in
terms of some of.the soliton parameters (in the stable case). The appearance
of infinite derivative type singularities in a nonlinear hyperbolic system,
which prohibits a description of the evolution of perturbations beyond the
singularity, consequently limits the applicability of solutions found in this
way. Close to the singularity, soliton parameters no longer change adiabatically,
and the change is accompanied by radiation in nonsoliton form. It is shown that
high-frequency dissipation found by the radiation compensates for the nonlinear
twisting (rather than high-frequency dispersion, which could theoretically be
the case). This makes it possible to describe the evolution of a soliton in
terms of a derived hyperbolic system after the appearance of the singularity
as well, without turning to an unsimplified initial equation. It is demonstrated
that for the two types of initial equations small perturbations at a front of
plane solitons satisfies Buerger's equation, which makes it possible to go be-
yond the framework of the adiabatic approximation. The resulting dispersion
relationship in the linear Buerger equation describes the spectrum of the de-
caying oscillations in the case of negative dispersion and the soliton insta-
bility increment with positive dispersion. An analytical expression is derived
for the dispersion relationship of transverse perturbations propagating via a
week shock wave front; this expression shows that a weak shock wave with a finite
front width is stable with respect to the transverse perturbations and yields
the spectrum of its decaying oscillations. Taking the finite nature of the
perturbation into account, the evolution of secondary shock waves (" shock-
shocks" ) is described by Buerger's equation. The author is deeply grateful to
V.l. Shrir for formulation of the problem and for helpful discussing and G.I.
Barenblatt for attention to the work and for helpful discussion of the work.

EFFECT OF ATMOSPHERIC INTERFERENCE ON PERFORMANCE OF OPTICAL RANGE FINDERS

[ Abstract] Fluctuations of the incident luminous flux at high intensity (order
of 10
-
6. W), caused by turbulent inhomogeneities in the atmosphere, are the main
source of measurement noise in Fizeau-type optical range finders. The noise
voltage generated by flux intensity fluctuations is proportional to the average
flux intensity, while shot noise in a photomultiplier is proportional to the
square root of that intensity. Compensation of atmospheric interference, pre-
dominant at high flux intensity levels, is feasible in a Fizeau instrument with
polarization modulation. Noise caused by atmospheric interference can be ex-
tracted by diverting and deflecting a part of the incident light to one photo-
multiplier before demodulation, while the useful light signal with noise is
extracted in another photomultiplier. Antiphasal superposition of the output
signals from both photomultipliers in a differential amplifier cancels the
atmospheric interference component, provided that both photomultipliers have :
the same passband. This method of compensation of fadeout is particularly
effective in the SG-3 range finder operating with a low " flicker" frequency
of 15 0-240 Hz, at which atmospheric interference is much more significant than
at 5 00 Hz past the peak of spectral density of light intensity fluctuations.

[ Abstract] The cross-sectional illumination distribution pattern of an infini-
tesimally narrow unidirectional light beam can be determined as a function of
the microstructural parameters of the dispersive medium in which it propagates
and the distribution of the characteristics of the medium along.the propagation
path by means of Monte-Carlo calculations of the scattered light field using a
small angle approximation or a one-time scattering approximation. This paper
analyzes the range of applicability of such approximation techniques in cal-
culating the characteristics of the scattered light field from a narrow beam
in a polydisperse medium over an inhomogeneous path. The size and shape of
the scattered light illumination distribution near such beams are determined
by the optical thickness of the dispersive layer, the size distribution func-
tion of the particles in the medium and depend substantially on the distribu-
tion of the light scattering characteristics along the propagation path. The
88
scattering function is most dependent on these factors for observation angles
of less than 10 to 15 . The single factor exerting the greatest influence on
the size and shape of the light distribution is the modal radius of the particles,
r . The polydisperse scattering indicatrices were calculated for a light wave-
length of 0.63 micrometers in a cloudy medium, where r was 1 and 10 micrometers,
and in haze where r was 0.07 micrometers and plotted as a function of the
scattering angle. TThe light scattering functions found using the Monte-Carlo,
small angle and one-time scattering approximations are also graphed for a cloudy
medium where r was 1 and 10 micrometers. For observation angles of more than
20, the greatest angular dependence of the scattering function is observed for
a homogeneous path. An expression is given which takes into account the degree
of anistropy of the light scattering in the dispersive medium; it is noted that
the one-time scattering approximation has a greater range of applicability than
the small angle approximation. The differences between small angle and Monte-
Carlo results are considerable even for small optical thickness and observation
angles. Only with observation angles close to zero is the light scattering
function calculated by the one-time scattering approximation, understated by
less than a factor of two; otherwise, the errors rise sharply, especially with
an increase in the optical thickness. Figures 3; references 11: 10 Russian,

[ Abstract] A radiation transport.equation is derived from the wave equation for
a fluctuating dielectric permittivity of the medium and specified thermal sources.
The coherency function of the thermal field is found in explicit form for the
case of weak scattering; in this instance, the transport equation is written in
a form which makes it possible to find the precise solution for the radiation
intensity and in addition to approximate the impact of multiple scattering.
The relationship between the correlation of thermal sources in wave theory and
the sources in transport theory is established in this paper. In writing the
initial wave equation for the scalar field produced by an external current, it
is assumed that the fluctuations in the dielectric permittivity of the medium
and the absorption are slight, that the medium is statistically homogeneous
and isotropic with a known correlation function and the external current is
specified by a function written in terms of Planck's function. The derived
expressions were used to calculate the radiation intensity of a flat, randomly
inhomogeneous layer of thickness L, given that there is no incident radiation
at the layer boundaries. Taking scattering into account usually increases the
layer radiation, although cases where the optical absorption thickness is large
constitute an exception. Large scale dnhomogeneities have little influence on
89
the intensity. When the radiation intensity of the layer was calculated based
on a general transport equation, and solved using Gauss' quadrature formula in
a third approximation, it was noted that a comparison of this result with the
results of the proposed approach yields better agreement, the lower the value
of the albedo. The author.thanks V. P. Dokuchayev and K. S. Stankevich for
attention to the work and valuable advice. Figures 3; references: 7 Russian.
