Efficient analysis of quasi-optical filters by a hybrid MoM/BI-RMEmethod

This paper presents a novel algorithm for the analysis of quasi-optical filters, consisting of thick metal screens perforated periodically with arbitrarily shaped apertures. The algorithm is based on the widely used method of moments (MoM) in conjunction with entire domain basis functions. Its flexibility, accuracy, and rapidity depend on the use of the boundary integral-resonant mode expansion (BI-RME) method in the numerical determination of the basis functions. A computer code has been developed based on this algorithm. The analysis of two different quasi-optical filters operating at 8 GHz and 280 GHz is reported and compared with experimental data as well as with other simulations. In both cases, the whole analysis requires few seconds on a standard workstation and the theoretical results show a very good agreement with the measured data in a wide frequency band. The capability of the MoM/BI-RME approach to handle completely arbitrary shapes is highlighted in the second example. In this case, in fact, the fabrication process causes small deformations of the nominal shape of the apertures, which must be accounted for, since they play an important role in the frequency response of the filter     

MoM/BI-RME analysis of boxed MMICs with arbitrarily shapedmetallizations

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the analysis of shielded microstrip circuits, composed of a number of thin metallic areas with arbitrary shapes and finite conductivity, embedded in a multilayered lossy medium. The analysis is based on the solution of an integral equation (IE) obtained by enforcing the proper boundary condition to the electric field on the metallic areas. The IE is solved by using the method of moments with entire domain basis functions, which are numerically determined by the boundary integral-resonant-mode expansion (BI-RME) method. The use of the BI-RME method allows for the efficient calculation of the basis functions independently on the shape of the domain, thus permitting the analysis of a wide class of circuits. Two examples demonstrate the accuracy, rapidity, and flexibility of the proposed method     

Self and mutual admittances/impedances of two parallel nonstaggered dipoles driven by 2-wire lines

A new theoretical approach to the problem of two identical, parallel, nonstaggered dipole antennas, driven by 2-wire lines is presented. This contribution is an extension of earlier work dealing with the isolated dipole antenna driven by a 2-wire line. The present simple theory is limited to coupled dipoles, the distances of which are greater than one-tenth of a wavelength.     

Efficient evaluation of spatial-domain MoM matrix entries in theanalysis of planar stratified geometries

An efficient hybrid method for evaluation of spatial-domain method-of-moments (MoM) matrix entries is presented in this paper. It has already been demonstrated that the introduction of the closed-form Green's functions into the MoM formulation results in a significant computational improvement in filling up MoM matrices and, consequently, in the analysis of planar geometries. To achieve further improvement in the computational efficiency of the MoM matrix entries, a hybrid method is proposed in this paper and, through some examples, it is demonstrated that it provides significant acceleration in filling up MoM matrices while preserving the accuracy of the results     

Measurement of self and mutul impedances of two coupled cylindrical antennas in a hot plasma

The self and mutual impedances of two coupled cylindrical antennas embedded in a hot plasma have been measured. A large volume of hot plasma was provided by a mercury-arc discharge. Pairs of monopoles with various lengths were embedded in the plasma volume and excited by r.f. signals. The experimental results show that, near the plasma frequency, the self and mutual impedances undergo rapid changes as the plasma density is varied. The effect of an electroacoustic wave on the self impedance is not very outstanding. However, this wave has a significant effect on the mutual impedance, as can be evidenced by the appearance of electroacoustic resonances (Tonks-Dattner resonances) in the mutual-impedance curves.

Efficient calculation of gradient in state estimation

Nearly all the computational time required in digital calculation of the gradient of an error index with respect to initial state is taken up by integration of differential equations. By direct application of the variational calculus, it is shown that the gradient may be calculated by integration of the state equations and costate equations, namely 2n equations. Previously, it has been thought necessary to integrate the n state equations and n2 state-sensitivity equations, namely n2+n equations.     

Efficient analysis of input impedance and mutual coupling of microstrip antennas mounted on large coated cylinders

An efficient and accurate hybrid method, based on the combination of the method of moments (MoM) with a special Green's function in the space domain is presented to analyze antennas and array elements conformal to electrically large material coated circular cylinders. The efficiency and accuracy of the method depend strongly on the computation of the Green's function, which is the kernel of the integral equation that is solved via MoM for the unknown equivalent currents representing only the antenna elements. Three types of space-domain Green's function representations are used, each accurate and computationally efficient in a given region of space. Consequently, a computationally optimized analysis tool for conformal microstrip antennas is obtained. Input impedance of various microstrip antennas and mutual coupling between two identical antennas are calculated and compared with published results to assess the accuracy of this hybrid method.

A hybrid SBR/MoM technique for analysis of scattering from smallprotrusions on a large conducting body

A hybrid technique combining the shooting-and-bouncing-ray (SBR) method and the method-of-moments (MoM) is presented for analyzing scattering by large conducting bodies having small protrusions. In this technique, the MoM with an approximate Green's function is used to characterize the small protrusions, yielding an admittance matrix, which, when multiplied with the incident field on the protrusions, yields the currents induced on the protrusions. The incident field in the presence of the large bodies is calculated using the SBR method. The field radiated by the currents on the protrusions is also calculated using the SBR method with the aid of reciprocity. Furthermore, an iterative approach is developed, which can reduce the error introduced by the use of the approximate Green's function, Numerical results are given to demonstrate the accuracy and capability of the hybrid technique
