"A New Charging Model for Spacecraft Exposed Dielectric (SICCE)" by Song Wang, Zhan-Cheng Wu, Xiao-Jin Tang, Zhong Yi, and Yong-Wei Sun The exposed dielectrics outside a spacecraft interact directly with the ambient plasma. Moreover, they are exposed to the energetic charged particle radiation. The low-energy plasma and the energetic radiation are both important factors for the dielectric charging. Tailored to this special condition, a model named surface and internal coupling charging model for exposed dielectric is newly proposed. It is based on the current conservation law regarding the charging potential as the unknown variable. more...

"Strain-Induced Plasma Radiation in Terahertz Domain in Strained-Si-on-Insulator MOSFETs" by Mirgender Kumar, Sanjay Kumar, Ekta Goel, Kunal Singh, Balraj Singh, and Satyabrata Jit This paper reports an ATLAS-based simulation study for investigating the strain-induced current instability in terms of negative differential resistance in strained-Si-on-insulator (SSOI) MOSFETs for terahertz (THz) emission. The variations of output drain current-voltage characteristics of the devices have been studied by varying the device parameters such as the gate length and strain in the channel. The effects of these parameters on the resonance plasma frequency have also been investigated. more...

"GW TEM-Mode Phase Shifter for High-Power Microwave Applications" by Xue-Long Zhao, Cheng-Wei Yuan, Lie Liu, Sheng-Ren Peng, Zhen Bai, and Dan Cai In this paper, a gigawatt (GW) transverse electromagnetic wave (TEM)-mode phase shifter (TPS) used to adjust the phase of output of high-power microwave is investigated. The phase shifter is composed of two identical coaxial TE11 circular polarizers, and can adjust the output microwave phase in a range of 0°-360°. The electrical behaviors are analyzed in theory and simulated by the CST software, the results show that the TPS at frequency 1.79 GHz can adjust the microwave phase in a range of 0°-360°, the transmission in this range of phase-shifting process is over 97.5%, and the power-handling capacity is as high as 5.3 GW. more...
