The quasi-cross-shaped coupling slot generates two orthogonal linear polarization with high isolation. Four pairs of PIN diodes are used in four branches of the Wilkinson power divider network to alter the current flow path so as to generate a phase difference of 0° or $pm 90^{text{o}}$ and achieve the polarization reconfiguration. The results show that the proposed antenna has a 10-dB impedance bandwidth of 2.80-3.54GHz (0.74GHz, 23.3%) for LP and 2.82-3.49GHz (0.67GHz, 21.2%) for CP.

The time step increment in the proposed method is not determined by the fine meshes in the graphene layer, so the computational efficiency of this method is greatly improved from that of the conventional finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method, which is well validated by numerical examples. Besides, the numerical simulation also shows that the interband conductivity of the graphene has important effects on the performance of the graphene, especially at higher Terahertz (THz) spectra.","PeriodicalId":221352,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131670991","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}

Solving the FSIE is very tedious because an intensive calculation of volume integrals over imaging domain is required. In this work, we use a novel meshless scheme to simplify the calculation of volume integrals in the solution of FSIE so that the reconstruction can be accelerated. The meshless scheme changes the volume integrals into boundary integrals through the Green-Gauss theorem after the integrands are regularized in the imaging domain and the volumetric discretization of the imaging domain is not necessary. The ISIE is solved by the Gauss-Newton minimization approach (GNMA) with the multiplicative regularization method (MRM). A typical numerical example is presented to demonstrate the inversion approach and good results have been obtained.","PeriodicalId":221352,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123006761","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}

An algorithm is developed to compute the time domain CMA using IFFT, extrapolation and Hilbert Transformation. This time domain CMA is suitable for transmission and coupling problems, in which it represents the modal unit impulse response on specified ports. A parallel line and dipole antennas are computed for verification. For parallel line, time domain CMA is similar as the common and differential modes. For dipole antennas, the results are interesting to observe.

Tangential situation originates from a mesh line aligning on an aligned plane, which leads to the fuzzification of intersection length along Yee grid edge. The intersection position of two perpendicular aligned planes or an aligned plane with arbitrary plane is the position of possible corner singularity, from which the incorrect computed conformal area may result. A universal scheme to solve the corner singularity problem is proposed. By utilizing the in or out information normal to the tangential plane, as well as cell position relation relative to the tangential plane, we can determine whether or not to modify the length of the tangential side of Yee cell for computing the conformal area. A simple numerical example of a hollow rectangular waveguide shows the necessity for handling corner singularity.","PeriodicalId":221352,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129215020","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}
