A non-reciprocal microwave network is provided that includes an in-line ferromagnetic element with adjoining polarizing adapters to achieve directivity via a multi-mode interaction at or near the ferrite to act as new class of 4-port circulator or 2-port isolator, with standard waveguide inputs for assembly in larger networks.

Non-reciprocal microwave window

A non-reciprocal microwave network is provided that includes an in-line ferromagnetic element [] with adjoining polarizing adapters [] to achieve directivity via a multi-mode interaction at or near the ferrite to act as new class of 4-port circulator or 2-port isolator, with standard waveguide inputs for assembly in larger networks.

A piezoelectric dipole transmitter is provided that includes a piezoelectric element, an insulating support disposed at a midpoint of said piezoelectric element, or along the piezoelectric element, an external capacitance driver, and an external modulation capacitance disposed proximal to a first end of the piezoelectric element, where the driver capacitance is driven by a signal appropriate to excite a length-extensional acoustic mode of the piezoelectric element, where the piezoelectric element resonates at a piezoelectric element resonance frequency to radiate energy as an electric dipole.

Piezoelectric transmitter

A particle accelerator is provided that includes a piezoelectric accelerator element, where the piezoelectric accelerator element includes a hollow cylindrical shape, and an input transducer, where the input transducer is disposed to provide an input signal to the piezoelectric accelerator element, where the input signal induces a mechanical excitation of the piezoelectric accelerator element, where the mechanical excitation is capable of generating a piezoelectric electric field proximal to an axis of the cylindrical shape, where the piezoelectric accelerator is configured to accelerate a charged particle longitudinally along the axis of the cylindrical shape according to the piezoelectric electric field.
