A mathematical model that is based on the percolation theory to describe the variation of conductivity as a function of frequency for different packing densities is deduced by fitting the mathematical equation to the curves of conductivity extracted from microwave measurements. The physical-mathematical model provides a better prediction of the conductivity of CNTs networks at high frequencies. This model will be used in full-wave solver to have more realistic values of conductivity and hence better modeling of radio frequency devices.","PeriodicalId":197346,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133671924","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}

Thus a closed TFSF boundary is formed, where the incident waves are directly obtained from the auxiliary simulations without any interpolation. Given the dispersion characteristic, perfectly matched layer (PML) is implemented to the 1-D simulations. Examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique in analysing the case of an obliquely incident wave on layered dispersive media. Furthermore, the numerical result for an arbitrary incident angle can be provided with this method, greatly extending some previous work that only analyzed the case of normal incidence.","PeriodicalId":197346,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116388200","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}

To perform a NF to FF or a NF to NF transformation for EMC applications, the large frequency range, and a weak signals will require data in the reactive near field. In principle, the transformation can be performed if all sources are confined in the scanned area using Huygens' Principle, which requires knowledge of the exact phase and magnitude data of measured fields. In reality, this cannot be achieved, due to uncertainties in the field probe measurements, presence of active and passive cables and limited scan areas. Thus, it is attempted to perform a transformation based on an incomplete and uncertain data set. Results of a numerical simulation tool usage for NF to FF transformation based on NF-Scanning system measured data are demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":197346,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123672267","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}

The well-known RWG, the triangular, the wire/surface junction spatial basis functions and the high-order temporal basis functions are used to expand induced currents on the PEC bodies, the PEC wires, and the PEC wire/surface junctions, respectively. A set of hybrid TDIE-TDPO equations are derived and solved by using marching-on-in-time scheme (MOT). The developed numerical algorithm is verified in both time- and frequency-domains for predicting S11-and S21- parameters, directivities, induced currents together with backward scattered fields of several antennas mounted on the same PEC tower platform, respectively.
