Photonic Band Gap Structure for a Particle Accelerator
CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® has been succesfully applied to the simulation of a Photonic band gap Structure for a particle accelerator. Due to the high-Q nature of the device, the Eigenmode Solver with Modal Analysis was chosen.

Figure 1: CST MWS Model of the device
Figure 1 shows the geometry of the device which was constructed using the intuitive and powerful user-interface of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®.
A series of metallic cylinders are arranged between two hexagonal plates creating the periodic meander for focusing of the field. Two coaxial probes are placed at the top and bottom of the structure as shown also in figure 2 to excite the desired mode.

Figure 2 shows a photo of the actual device as described above.
Figure 3: Eigenmode Field Patterns at 14.42 GHz
An Eigenmode Analysis has been performed to obtain the correct mode of excitation. The H-Field Vector and Contour Patterns at 14.42GHz are shown in Figure 3.
Figure 4: Modal Analysis S-Parameters
Figure 4 shows the results from a Modal Analysis of the Eigenmode results compared to measurement. The simulated results are in excellent agreement with the measured results confirming that the Eigenmode Solver is perfectly suited to the simulation of extremely high-Q structures.

New, compact configurations for RF/microwave bandstop and lowpasss filters are presented. Compact footprints are achieved by folding the transmission lines in a microstrip platform. The effect of mutual coupling between the transmission lines, curved line sections, interconnecting lengths of the sections are taken into account to obtain the network parameters for the folded line filters. The folded line filters have practical dimensions for a wide range of electrical specifications, making physical implementation realizable. The filter designs have been validated by using full wave 3D EM simulation using CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®, as well as by comparison with the measurements. The new designs presented should prove useful for a host of embedded passive and RFIC applications in the 1-10 GHz range.

This article deals with the modeling and simulation of shielded twisted pairs with CST CABLE STUDIO™. The quality of braided shields is investigated with respect to perfect solid shields. Crosstalk effects are calculated for unshielded twisted pairs, poorly shielded twisted pairs, and twisted pairs with high-quality shields. Explanations are given for the set up of realistic simulations in order to be able to compare them with measurement results.

In this acticle the simulation of novel interdigital backward wave oscillators with CST PARTICLE STUDIO® is described. The mutual coupling of the charged particle movement and transient electromagnetic fields is taken into account by a sophisticated Particle in Cell algorithm. The resulting output power is in excellent agreement with theoretical values. Results are presented with the courtesy and permission of Teraphysics Corporation, USA.
