The binary phase shift keying/linear frequency modulated (BPSK/LFM) hybrid modulated signal is a novel kind of low probability of intercept (LPI) signal. In this paper, a new parameter estimation method is proposed for the multiple BPSK/LFM signals. The squaring process and fractional Fourier transform are used to estimate the chirp rate. Then, the output signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is analyzed. Finally, the code rate estimation is given based on the linear transformation.

Since the conductivity of LSS is sensitive for laser light power., the tunable function is easy to achieve for this MMA. The numerical simulations demonstrate that the absorption peak frequency of the designed MMA is varied from O.615THz to O.321THz by modulated LSS. In addition., the relative modulation bandwidth and absorption depth are 62.67% and 49.59%., respectively.

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":"48 1","pages":"0"},"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. The presented theory expands the areas of traditional CMA.","PeriodicalId":221352,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124551256","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}

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":"1 1","pages":"0"},"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}
