Further experimental investigations in the microwave field emerging from a composite pupil are reported in order to determine the nature of the wave propagation. The experiments consisted of delay-time measurements as a function of the distance of the detector from the pupil under test, as well as of the phase variation of a radio-frequency signal at 35 MHz that modulated the same microwave carrier at 9.33 GHz. In addition, measurements employing an admittance comparator were made in order to determine the character of the propagation impedance. All results obtained confirmed superluminal behavior in the near field, up to a distance of about 40 cm. These results were then interpreted within the framework of a stochastic model.

Abstract
Further experimental investigations in the microwave field emerging from a composite pupil are reported in order to determine the nature of the wave propagation. The experiments consisted of delay-time measurements as a function of the distance of the detector from the pupil under test, as well as of the phase variation of a radio-frequency signal at 35 MHz that modulated the same microwave carrier at 9.33 GHz. In addition, measurements employing an admittance comparator were made in order to determine the character of the propagation impedance. All results obtained confirmed superluminal behavior in the near field, up to a distance of about 40 cm. These results were then interpreted within the framework of a stochastic model.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
