    摘要: PRESSURE WAVES CLOSELY SIMULATING "SONIC BOOM" WAVES ARE PRODUCED BY REGULATING THE MASS FLOW RATE OF A GAS FROM A PRESSURIZED SOURCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH A MATHEMATICAL FUNCTION DERIVED FROM THE GENERAL FLOW EQUATIONS DESCRIBING THE GAS FLOW. THE RESULTING PRESSURE WAVES ARE TRANSMITTED TO A TEST STATION IN SUBSTANTIALLY SPHERICAL FORM BY MEANS OF A DIVERGING CONDUIT WHOSE WALLS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY STRAIGHT IN THE DIRECTION OF WAVE TRAVEL. IN ONE EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION, THE MASS FLOW RATE IS REGULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TIME-INTEGRAL OF THE PRESSURE WAVE DESIRED BY VARYING THE EXIT AREA OF A SONIC NOZZLE WHICH IS SUPPLIED WITH COMPRESSED GAS AT A SUPERCRITICAL PRESSURE. THE EFFECTS OF UNWANTED REFLECTED WAVES CAN BE ELIMINATED BY PROVIDING A VACUUM SOURCE IN COMBINATION WITH THE PRESSURE SOURCE. TRAVELLING PRESSURE WAVES CLOSELY SIMULATING TRAVELING SONIC BOOM WAVES ARE PRODUCED IN ALL EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION.

    摘要: The microwave communication system, in its preferred form, includes a stationary waveguide through which microwave energy flows in surface waves in the fundamental mode. The waveguide preferably is a semicylindrical dielectric rod with a metallic conducting shield on the flat surface of the rod, and with the remainder of the rod unshielded. An antenna having the same general guide configuration is positioned near the waveguide to transmit and receive communications to and from the waveguide. The antenna either is stationary or is mounted on a vehicle such as a railroad car and positioned so as to always be near the waveguide. One form of antenna actually comprises a novel directional coupler, and another is a resonant antenna. In the waveguide fabrication method, the pattern of the lines of force of the electrical field in an unshielded waveguide of a given shape is determined, and a plane perpendicular to the lines is located. A waveguide is formed with the original shape but cut away along the perpendicular plane. Then a conductive shield is located at the resulting surface.

    摘要: A repeater for a stationary waveguide in a system for communicating between the waveguide and a moving vehicle such as a train. The stationary waveguide structure includes an inverted channel-shaped shield with a semi-cylindrical dielectric rod which acts as the waveguide. The shield protects the waveguide from ice, rain, birds and foreign objects, without itself interferring with the transmission of microwave energy through the waveguide. A coupler or antenna is attached to the moving vehicle and moves along underneath the stationary waveguide structure to couple signals between the vehicle and the stationary waveguide. The repeater comprises two short auxiliary sections of waveguides which are mounted parallel to the stationary waveguide, and a microwave amplifier. The first auxiliary waveguide removes a small portion of the signal flowing in the main waveguide and conducts that signal to the amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the signal and delivers it to the second waveguide which couples the energy back to the main waveguide in amplified form. By means of this repeater, the energy in the main waveguide is amplified substantially without interrupting the signal received by or transmitted by the moving vehicle.
