An optimization procedure for constructive parameters of the log-periodic C-band antenna developed in the patent No. 2571607 “Microstrip logoperiodic antenna” is investigated. The electrodynamic model of the log-periodic microstrip- type antenna for the C-band has been developed.
Problems of erosion of elements of stationary plasma electric rocket engines are considered. Modern tasks require the engine significant resource characteristics, confirmed by long-term ground tests. In the paper, the possibility of applying accelerated tests for solving the problem of confirming the correspondence of the engine to the required resource characteristics is justified.
Today in creation of mathematical models of the stationary plasma thruster (SPT) a certain advance is noticeable, but all these models are based on empirical laws with a possibility of application to concrete type of the engine. The paper considers the possibility of constructing a mathematical model that takes into account the various physical processes taking place in the engine and based on statistical methods.
The article is devoted to the development and investigation of a modified antenna with an extended frequency range constructed on the basis of a fractal structure of the «Sierpinski triangle» type, which allows to significantly reduce the dimensions of the structure.
The work of analog-to-digital converter and the problems arising in the reduction of the input signal are investigated. A solution to the problem of aperture uncertainty is presented by using a constructive method with an approximate analysis of the reconstructed signal.
