To achieve an optimal operating condition, a good characterization of the lamp in terms of radio frequency equivalent circuits under operating conditions is necessary, enabling the design of an efficient matching network. This paper presents the characterization technique for such lamps and presents the design of the required matching network. For the characterization, a high-intensity discharge lamp was driven by a monofrequent large signal at 2.45 GHz, whereas a frequency sweep over 300 MHz was performed across this signal to measure so-called small-signal hot S-parameters using a vector network analyzer. These parameters are then used as an equivalent load in a circuit simulator to design an appropriate matching network. Using the measured data as a black-box model in the simulation results in a quick and efficient method to simulate and design efficient matching networks in spite of the complex plasma behavior. Furthermore, photometric analysis of high-intensity discharge lamps are carried out, comparing microwave operation to conventional operation.}, language = {en} } @article{HeuermannPetersSchmitzetal.2005, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Peters, N. and Schmitz, T. and Sadeghfam, Arash}, title = {Concept of Balanced Antennas with Load-Invariant Base Impedance Using a Two Element LC-Coupler.

The method is based on the relative comparison of the measured frequency response obtained by the large-signal scattering parameter (Hot-S) technique. In the practical working range, repeatability of less than 6\% for a nonactive plasma and 9\% for the active plasma state is found. Measurements are conducted with a focus on a simple solution to decrease the processing time and reduce the integration time of the process into the existing hardware. It is shown that monitoring a single frequency for magnitude and phase changes is sufficient to achieve good accuracy. A combination of different measurement values to determine the length is possible. The applicability to different diameter of the same material is shown as well as a contact detection of the wire and metallic substrate.}, language = {en} } @article{HeuermannGraf1997, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Graf, W.}, title = {Direkte Messung der Dispersion des Wellenwiderstandes einer Mikrostreifenleitung}, series = {Kleinheubacher Berichte : Vortr{\"a}ge und Berichte der gemeinsamen Tagung des U.R.S.I.-Landesausschusses in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland / Hrsg.: Deutsche Telekom AG. 40. 1997 (1997)}, journal = {Kleinheubacher Berichte : Vortr{\"a}ge und Berichte der gemeinsamen Tagung des U.R.S.I.-Landesausschusses in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland / Hrsg.: Deutsche Telekom AG. 40. 1997 (1997)}, year = {1997}, language = {de} } @article{HeuermannGraf1998, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Graf, W.}, title = {Direkte on-wafer-Messung des Wellenwiderstandes einer Mikrostreifenleitung}, series = {Kleinheubacher Berichte : Vortr{\"a}ge und Berichte der gemeinsamen Tagung des U.R.S.I.-Landesausschusses in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland / Hrsg.: Deutsche Telekom AG. 41. 1998 (1998)}, journal = {Kleinheubacher Berichte : Vortr{\"a}ge und Berichte der gemeinsamen Tagung des U.R.S.I.-Landesausschusses in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland / Hrsg.: Deutsche Telekom AG. 41. 1998 (1998)}, year = {1998}, language = {de} } @article{Heuermann2008, author = {Heuermann, Holger}, title = {Dual mode radio: A new tranceiver architecture for UWB and 60 GHz-applications}, series = {European Conference on Wireless Technology, 2008.

Simple tags that can be electronically individually activated and deactivated via a DC control voltage were developed and combined to form an MO array field. This HR operates in the entire 2.45 GHz ISM band for transmitting the illumination signal and receives at twice the stimulus frequency and bandwidth centered around 4.9 GHz. This paper presents the development, the basic theory of a HR system for the characterization of objects placed into the propagation path in-between the radar and the reflectors (similar to a free-space measurement with a network analyzer) as well as first measurements performed by the system. Further detailed measurement series will be made available later on to other researchers to develop AI and machine learning based signal processing routines or synthetic aperture radar algorithms for imaging, object recognition, and feature extraction. For this purpose, the necessary information is published in this paper. It is explained in detail why this SIMO-HR can be an attractive solution augmenting or replacing existing systems for radar measurements in production technology for material under test measurements and as a simplified MIMO system. The novel HR transfer function, which is a basis for researchers and developers for material characterization or imaging algorithms, is introduced and metrologically verified in a well traceable coaxial setup.}, language = {en} } @article{HeuermannHoltrup2009, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Holtrup, Stephan}, title = {Fundamentals and ignition of a microplasma at 2.45 GHZ / Holtrup, Stephan ; Heuermann, Holger}, series = {European Microwave Conference, 2009 : EuMC 2009 ; Sept. 29, 2009 - Oct. 1, 2009, Rome, Italy ; part of European Microwave Week (EuMW) / sponsored by EuMA, European Microwave Association ...
