RF Probe for Mode Identification on TCTWs

This paper presents the use of an RF probe and loop for mode identification on TCTWs. It discusses the measurement techniques and provides insights into the resonances and Q values observed. The results show the effectiveness of the probe in distinguishing between different modes.

  6. Quarter-wave resonances Looking at the S11 (and similarly for the S22), the large resonances at ≃288 MHz and 576 MHz are the first two quarter-wave resonances characteristic of the coaxial resonator made by the probes (which acts like the inner conductor) and the device (which acts like the outer conductor). These modes can be easily distinguished from the device resonant modes as their frequency shifts when moving the probe position. Alternatively, one could use absorbing foam at the inner side of the probe mounting plates to damp these additional modes.

  8. Nicolò probe measurements on TCT collimator The unloaded Q for the first three low frequency modes was calculated in transmission ensuring low coupling of the loops for different jaw gap positions. This can be achieved retracting the probes at the two ports until a minimal coupling factor, usually less than a percent, is obtained. F.
