Abstract :
Studies are presented of a series of computer simulations, using CST (Microwave Studio), of waveguide components for a Ka-band gyro-TWA. Each component has a range of operation that can be optimised through observations of the S-parameters and the phase data, while altering geometric parameters in the simulations. This approach allows optimum performance of mm-wave gyro-TWAs.
