Full-wave EM simulation results illustrating the radiation characteristics of the proposed antennas are presented. Antenna layout has been defined to fit the specified size of RFID tags.

When a sample is irradiated with light of the above wavelengths, this sample will absorb light in accordance with its moisture content. As moisture content of wheat increased, reflectance from the wheat sample decreased, which indicates that water is a strong light absorber than a sandy wheat sample. When light hits a sample, several interactions can occur: specular reflectance, diffuse reflectance, absorption, transmittance, refraction and scattering.

Two types of antenna elements are considered: waveguide openings and microstrip patch antennas. The analysis method is based on the modal representation of the EM field, i.e. the solution procedure takes advantage of representing the fields as a sum of spherical harmonics with unknown amplitudes. By introducing normalized associate Legendre functions, together with pre-calculation of terms that depend only on conical geometry, an accurate and efficient program has been developed. A comparison was made between the calculated radiation pattern and the measurements of different waveguide and patch array configurations. All the considered results showed high accuracy of the developed method","PeriodicalId":102260,"journal":{"name":"2005 18th International Conference on Applied Electromagnetics and Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130530589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is necessary because of increasing need to localize and hear a certain speaker among others, simultaneously speaking sound sources, especially in teleconferences or for hearing-impaired people. The basics of almost all computer models is the cross-correlation function of the binaural signal, adequate filtered and processed. The final goal is to filter out from the binaural signal a certain speaker without any noise or interference. This paper uses a complex short-time cross-correlation model to find its limitation in identifying the right number of sound sources in the frontal horizontal plane, as well as their position (azimuth). The tests were done using HRTF functions to simulate a virtual acoustic environment without reflections. The results were compared with tests made in real rooms using dummy head for binaural signal recording","PeriodicalId":102260,"journal":{"name":"2005 18th International Conference on Applied Electromagnetics and Communications","volume":"T167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125495690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
