    High order mode beam waveguide for technological medium power millimeter wave applications
    (1995) Río Bocio, Carlos del; Gonzalo García, Ramón; Marín Pilz, Miguel; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Möbius, Arnold; Thumm, Manfred; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    The use of medium power millimeter wave CW gyrotrons (10- 30 kW and 30-100 GHz) has several potential applications in advanced materials processing. Since a stochastic field distribution in the applicator is desirable no pencil beam is necessary. Then the possibility to couple the circular symmetric gyrotron output to a higher order free space mode can be considered. Beam waveguides based on iterative reflection of such high order beams on properly designed mirrors opens the possibility to increase the efficiency and to reduce costs of present compact transmission lines in gyrotron technological systems.

    Low profile THz periodic leaky-wave antenna
    (IEEE, 2014) Beaskoetxea Gartzia, Unai; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Rodríguez Ulibarri, Pablo; Etayo Salinas, David; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Zehar, Mokhtar; Blary, Karine; Chahadih, Abdallah; Han, Xiang-Lei; Akalin, Tahsin; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    In this work, a 0.566THz flat leaky-wave antenna, consisting of a central λ0/2 slot surrounded by straight parallel wedge corrugations, is numerically and experimentally analyzed. Simulations show a moderately high gain and no significant differences when compared with a typical square corrugation profile. Numerical comparison is also made for the designed and manufactured antennas. High transmission enhancement in the corrugated case is obtained, compared to that given by a single central slot with no grooves. This kind of antennas finds several applications in different frequency ranges, including the nowadays high-interest range of the THz.

    Generation of the HE11 mode in rectangular waveguide using gaussian techniques
    (IEEE, 1999) Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Gonzalo García, Ramón; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    A new and efficient design of a rectangular corrugated waveguide mode converter, from TE10 mode in a smooth rectangular monomode waveguide to HE11 mode in a corrugated rectangular waveguide, is proposed. The main idea is the application of Gaussian design techniques, described in the given references, previously applied in circular waveguides. By using these techniques compact and very efficient components are obtained. The obtained far field pattern is rather good as illuminator of square or rectangular parabolic reflectors, with very low sidelobes and crosspolarisation levels, avoiding the use of a rectangular to circular waveguide converter. Simulations by using the HP’s Finite Element code HFSS shown very promising results.

    Comportamiento de propagacion electromagnetica en el apilamiento de agujeros sublambda y agujeros propagantes
    (2009) Navarro Cía, Miguel; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Falcone Lanas, Francisco Javier; Campillo, Igor; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    In this work, we provide more insight on the physics underlying the transmission through subwavelength hole arrays metaprism by comparing it with propagating hole arrays prism. We show the critical role that the size of the holes plays in this electromagnetic propagation, changing the effective index of refraction from negative to positive values as the hole diameter increases. This causes negative refraction for the zero-th order emerging beam in the metaprism whereas positive refraction in the non-cut-off holes prism. Experimental results (co- and cross-polar measurements) performed at the V-band of the millimeter waves in the Fresnel zone are well supported by numerical analyses in terms of dispersion diagram, spatial electric field distribution and power flow within the prism along with in the output air zone. As expected, higher order diffracted outgoing beams are recorded for the classical prism but not for the metaprism.

    Lentes metálicas basadas en el fenómeno de transmisión extraordinaria para conseguir índices de refracción negativos
    (2009) Navarro Cía, Miguel; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Campillo, Igor; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    In this communication we report plano-concave and bi-concave metamaterial lenses based on the close stack of subwavelegnth hole arrays. Contrary to what is expected from cut-off holes, an engineered array of holes supports Extraordinary Transmission. Moreover, the medium formed when those structures are subwavelength stacked (thus, under metamaterial condition) behaves as a medium with effective negative index of refraction, which allows designing new lenses with properties that were only guessed at not long ago such as perfect imaging, subdiffraction and free-space matching to name a few.

    Millimeter-wave phase resonances in compound reflection gratings with subwavelength grooves
    (Optical Society of America, 2010) Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Skigin, Diana C.; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    Experimental evidence of phase resonances in a dual-period reflection structure comprising three subwavelength grooves in each period is provided in the millimeter-wave regime. We have analyzed and measured the response of these structures and show that phase resonances are characterized by a minimum in the reflected response, as predicted by numerical calculations. It is also shown that under oblique incidence these structures exhibit additional phase resonances not present for normal illumination because of the potentially permitted odd field distribution. A satisfactory agreement between the experimental and numerical reflectance curves is obtained. These results confirm the recent theoretical predictions of phase resonances in reflection gratings in the millimeter-wave regime, and encourage research in this subject due to the multiple potential applications, such as frequency selective surfaces, backscattering reduction and complex-surface-wave-based sensing. In addition, it is underlined here that the response becomes much more complex than the mere infinite analysis when one considers finite periodic structures as in the real experiment.

    Arrangements of via-holes in microstrip lines as metallodielectric periodic structures
    (Wiley, 2000) Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Bacaicoa, Miguel; Hernández, Jorge; Gonzalo García, Ramón; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua
    In this paper, the use of via holes in microstrip lines to design periodic structures that can be regarded as metallodielectric electromagnetic crystals is analyzed. The proposed novel periodic structures achieve a notably increased reflectivity compared to that obtained with a single via hole. Theoretical analysis and experimental results are provided showing a satisfactory performance for these devices as broadband reflectors or short circuits with enhanced behavior at high frequencies.

    Estudio de la posibilidad de utilizar modos de orden superior en guías de onda cuasi-ópticas
    (1995) Río Bocio, Carlos del; Gonzalo García, Ramón; Marín Pilz, Miguel; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Möbius, Arnold; Thumm, Manfred; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    The possibility to employ low power gyrotron tubes (10-30 kW, CW) at millimeter wave frequencies (30-100 GHz) has potential applications in advanced ceramic sintering, surface coating, radar, remote sensing, etc.. In materials processing applications, the final shape of the beam is not relevant, because the experiment have to be done in a cavity which has a metallic mode stirrer in order to obtain inside a uniform distribution of the electromagnetic fields. In this paper, we present a preliminar study, showing that it is possible to use high order modes in the transmission line to carry the power to the final experiment efficiently.

    Mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR) for simultaneous determination of fat and protein content in meat of several animal species
    (Springer, 2017) Lozano Saiz, María; Rodríguez Ulibarri, Pablo; Echeverría Morrás, Jesús; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Beriain Apesteguía, María José; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
    The aim of this research was to study the application of MIR spectroscopy as an alternative to conventional methods to determine fat and protein content. Samples of the main species used to produce meat products were analyzed, showing all of them absorption bands at similar wavenumbers though with different intensity. Correlation analysis of absorption intensities showed that bands around 2925, 2854, and 1746 cm−1 are associated with fat content, whereas bands around 3288, 1657, and 1542 cm−1 are associated with proteins. During the validation process, prediction models of fat and protein content were successfully obtained withR2 0.9173 and 0.7534, respectively. Finally, a good result (R2 =0.8829) was obtained on the estimation of the lipid content when the information at only one wavenumber was used.
