FREQUENCY DOMAIN DAMAGE CALCULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF NON-GAUSSIAN EXCITATION BASED ON GMM MODEL (MT) by XU Yang, YANG GuangWu, CHEN KuanYu, XIAO ShouNe

“…After comparing the test results with the simulation results, it is found that the relative error between the results obtained by GMM-Dirlik model and the test is 10.8%, while the relative error between the results obtained by Gaussian hypothesis and the test is large, which is 45.3%, which further explains the risk of non-Gaussian excitation damage evaluated by Gaussian hypothesis. Finally, the difference between non-Gaussian excitation and Gaussian distribution probability density function is compared to explain the concave phenomenon of measured stress rain flow distribution at the middle stress level and the reason why the damage of non-Gaussian excitation is larger than that of Gaussian excitation.…”

Design of microwave ceramic waveguide filter with high out-of-band suppression characteristics by Fei LIANG, Shunliang MENG, Wenzhong LYU

“…The design theory of ceramic waveguide filter was introduced, and then the combination structure of coupling through slot with shallow or deep coupling blind hole was designed, which could meet the requirements of positive and negative coupling bandwidth.By adjusting the cross coupling between 3～6 cavities, the symmetry of the filter transmis-sion curve was improved, and the near and far end band suppression of the filter was realized.Finally, a six-cavity ce-ramic waveguide filter for 5G base station was designed.In the process of optimizing the filter, the influences of the rela-tive position offset of the cross-coupling through slot and the length of the cross-coupling through slot on the transmis-sion zero position, the near end and far end out of band suppression characteristics of the filter were discussed in detail, and the relevant change rules were given.The performance indexes of the optimized filter were as follows, center fre-quency was 3.5 GHz, working bandwidth was 200 MHz, insertion loss ≤ 1.2 dB, return loss ≥ 17 dB, near end out of band rejection ≥ 25 dB, far end out of band rejection ≥ 51 dB.According to the structural parameters of the simulation model, the performance test results of the samples are in good agreement with the simulation results.…”
