The variation here proposed consists of a set of TEM feeders whose impedance changes as a function of the radial distance measured from the focal point towards the parabolic reflector. This changes the aperture of the electric field at the aperture of the reflector, in a factor given as the square root of the ratio between the terminal impedance and the initial impedance, hence changing the amplitude of the radiated field in the same proportion. The second benefit of this design is that it allows the adaption of low-impedance voltage generators to the IRA. The drawback of this design is that it limits the low frequency content of the radiated pulse [1], but this will not impact the performance of small reflectors, which are unable of radiating low frequency components. For the specific case of the present paper, we propose an exponentially varying TEM impedance as follows [2]","PeriodicalId":237030,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126083806","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 calculation of such devices' electromagnetic response becomes a challenge as it requires the integration of the classical form of Maxwell's equations with the quantum equations governing the electronic structure. To that end, Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) reliably predicts the optical and electronic properties of molecules in the presence of external fields. However, most TDDFT formalisms only account for the electrostatic scalar potential, ignoring the presence of induced magnetic fields, and the retardation effects which follow. Disregarding the vector potential leads to an incorrect characterization of electronic structures exceeding certain size-to-wavelength ratio, the wavelength being that of the external electromagnetic field. In this work, the inclusion of induced vector potentials in the time-dependent Kohn-Sham equation is explored in both the Coulomb and Lorentz gauges. Although the Coulomb gauge is the commonly adapted gauge-fixing condition in TDDFT, the Lorentz gauge is shown to be just as effective in characterizing the response of electronic structures, bypassing the need for a projection scheme of the current density, via Helmholtz decomposition. In both gauges, fully incorporating the scalar and vector potentials can be computationally costly due to the retardation effects. Specifically, direct evaluation of the retarded integrals with their intrinsic dependence on past densities creates a computational bottleneck. To overcome this difficulty, highly efficient FFT-based integral methods utilizing multilevel schemes are employed. Carbon systems reaching the nanometric regime are explored in both gauges and various properties, appearing as a consequence of the newly incorporated induced fields, are demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":237030,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125408336","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 interest for this technique is due to the fact that sometimes, for practical limitations, it can be impossible an onset mounting, where the AUT center and the scanning sphere one coincide. In this case, the amount of NF measurements and the corresponding acquisition time required by the traditional spherical NF-FF transformation can remarkably raise, owing to the minimum sphere rule. Instead, in the proposed NF-FF transformation, the massive data necessary for the traditional one are efficiently recovered from the measured nonredundant samples using an optimal sampling interpolation formula, got by suitably exploiting the nonredundant sampling representations and modeling the AUT by a prolate spheroid. Some laboratory results, fully confirming the efficacy of such a nonredundant NF-FF transformation from the practical viewpoint, are reported.","PeriodicalId":237030,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125445581","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}

A brief overview of research using the facility will be given, followed by a more detailed discussion of two recent studies of the physics of Alfvén waves. Recent experiments have resulted in the first laboratory observation of the parametric instability of shear Alfvén waves9. Shear waves with sufficiently high $omega/Omega_{mathrm{i}}(> 0.6)$ and above a threshold wave amplitude are observed to decay into co-propagating daughter waves; one a shear Alfvén wave and the other a low-frequency quasimode.

In this work we try to verify that the images derived from the exponential sums can have a real application. Using a specific form, the simulation process is detailed to obtain the ideal structure of an antenna that works in the S band (2 - 4 GHz), leaving open the possibility of experimenting with new forms coming from different equations.
