The scheme is seen to converge with well with 201 data points in the frequency measure fro a sample that is 65 mm in length. The accuracy of the calculated permittivity and permeability is seen to be very good where there is no dispersion present, and still tolerable where there is some dispersion in the permittivity and permeability of the sample.","PeriodicalId":237030,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114917105","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}

Toroidal multipoles provide significant contributions to the electromagnetic response of matter and together with the conventional electric and magnetic multipoles can lead to non-radiating configurations, termed anapoles. Indeed, anapoles can be formed by a superposition of an electric dipole and a toroidal dipole, which, owing to their identical radiation properties, allow for complete cancellation of radiated electromagnetic fields outside the source. However, although anapoles do not radiate electromagnetic fields, they do act as sources of vector potential (which cannot be eliminated by a change of gauge). On the other hand, Flying Doughnuts are few-cycle electromagnetic pulses with non-trivial spatiotemporal coupling and toroidal configuration of electromagnetic fields that propagate in free-space at the speed of light. They are exact solutions to Maxwell's equations and exhibit strong longitudinal field components along the propagation direction. The spatial and temporal dependence of the Flying Doughnut pulse cannot be separated from one another, which results in a spatially varying frequency spectrum. In particular, the Flying Doughnut pulse exhibits a frequency spectrum that varies across the wavefront with shorter wavelengths localized closer to the center of the pulse and longer wavelengths dominating the outer regions of the pulse. Importantly, this spatial variation remains invariant upon propagation of the pulse, as well as focusing and defocusing, indicating that the Flying Doughnut pulse is isodiffracting. This spatiotemporal coupling in combination with the doughnut-like arrangement of electromagnetic fields, leads to a complex topological structure in the form of spectrally broadband vortices with multiple singularities in both the electric and magnetic fields. Flying Doughnut pulses can interact with matter in unique ways, which result in non-trivial field transformations upon reflection from perfectly conducting and dielectric interfaces. Moreover, the interactions of Flying Doughnut pulses with spherical dielectric particles can lead to the excitation of toroidal resonances and non-radiating configurations (anapoles).","PeriodicalId":237030,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133727342","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}

Based on the electrical size of the radiating object, it truncates the vector spherical modal field expansion series. Then, each component of the field is projected on the classical Fourier space for the polar dependency. This is carried out by minimizing the variance of the residual noise, or, in other words, by applying the Tikhonov-Phillips regularization scheme. This results is not only a numerically well-posed problem, but also in the statistical independence of the resulting coefficients as their co-variance matrix is diagonal. Afterwards, the azimuth dependency is projected on the real valued Gegenbauer, also known as ultra-spherical, polynomial family, once again following the Tikhonov-Phillips regularization scheme. Once again, it does not only result in a numerically well-posed problem, leading to a statistical independence of the obtained spherical modal coefficients. Moreover this double regression technique leads to the smallest two-dimensional Cartesian grid of angular sampling positions, a very useful result for the far field antenna characterization industry where measurement time has to be reduced as much as possible. Additionally to this, both optimum estimators and stable regularizer are also extracted. Then, a statistical analysis of the residual error is performed by extracting and analyzing the noise properties and also creating a statistical filter that rejects any mode that is not statistically significant through the definition of a modal signal-to-noise ratio. This result turns out to be very useful when this technique is applied in a compressive-sensing-like radiated far field antenna analysis. At last, these estimators are modified to attend cases where the measured data do not form a full column ranked matrix. This corresponds to the case where measurements data are lacking in the previously defined smallest two-dimensional Cartesian grid of angular sampling positions. This technique is then applied to several different antenna measurements, as shown on fig. 1, where can be noticed a very good matching between in the far $E_{theta}$ and $E_{varphi}$ field 2D map in amplitude comparison of both the measured electric field and the reconstructed one for a flat metallic Luneburg lens antenna designed at the frequency 12 GHz in the frame of MERLIN, which is a joint laboratory of Thalès Alenia Space and IETR.
