Electromagnetic, thermal and structural analyses of radio-frequency (RF) cavities were performed as part of a developmental RF cavity program for muon cooling. RF cavities are necessary to provide longitudinal focusing of the muons and to compensate for their energy loss. Closin…

This thesis presents the experimental and theoretical studies of nonthermal and stable atmospheric-pressure glow discharges. With the excitation frequency in the kilohertz range, a uniform and stable glow discharge has been successfully produced in atmospheric helium without the…

Radio frequency (rf) atmospheric pressure glow discharges (APGDs) have received growing attention for their exciting scope of new science and their immense potential for widespread applications. While geometrically similar to conventional low-pressure discharges used in the semi…

In order to conduct the main research in this dissertation, a feed network model for the MLA was created to yield accurate predictions of its code phase variation or group delay performance. Next, portions of the signal processing for a software receiver were created to estimate…

It is the aim of this thesis to show the significance of the early radar countermeasures (RCM) work done by the RCM Organisation during the Pacific War and how it laid the foundations for the future RCM unit called Section 22 which expanded on its initial RCM efforts. It will be…
