This Engineering Research Equipment Grant is for the purchase of a network analyzer system (Hewlett Packard 8510B) to support current research by the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Mississippi on three specific projects, and it will be used by all the staff to broaden the scope and quality of their research activities. The requirement for the proposed network analyzer system, which has already become an industry standard, has been necessitated by the need to improve measurement accuracy required for verification through measurements related current research on analytic and numerical solution of EM boundary-value problems, because existing equipment is obsolete. The equipment will facilitate research in the specific areas of 1) cavity method for measurement of material properties - an investigation to improve accuracy and error estimates in measurements of dielectric constant and surface conductivity, 2) antennas embedded in lossy media - an experimental study of wires inclined to an air-lossy media interface to verify a well-known numerical analysis program, and 3) dielectric radiating elements - an investigation of non-metallic radiating elements for microwave and millimeter wave applications. Auxiliary uses for related network analyzer measurements are in the areas of new antenna feeding techniques, phased arrays, and cavity measurements using the resonance method for dielectric in rectangular waveguide.

这项工程研究设备补助金是用于购买 网络分析仪系统（Hewlett Packard 8510B），以支持当前 该大学电气工程系的一项研究 密西西比的三个具体项目，它将被用于所有 扩大研究范围和提高研究质量 活动 对拟议的网络分析仪系统的要求， 已经成为行业标准， 由于需要提高验证所需的测量精度 通过测量相关的分析和 EM边值问题的数值解，因为现有的 设备已经过时了。 这些设备将有助于在 1）空腔法测量材料的比表面积 性能-提高精度和误差估计的研究 在介电常数和表面电导率的测量中，2） 有耗介质中天线的实验研究 倾向于空气损耗介质接口，以验证众所周知的 数值分析程序，和3）介质辐射元件-一个 非金属微波辐射元件的研究 毫米波应用 相关网络的辅助用途 分析仪测量在新的天线馈电区域 技术，相控阵，和腔测量使用的谐振 矩形波导中介质的测量方法
