In [2], Feedforward Neural Networks (FNNs) were used to classify failure scenarios in an antenna array, using the far-field radiation pattern. Different methods of sampling the far-field pattern were compared according to the resultant accuracy. In this article, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) with low degree polynomial kernels, as described in [1], are trained on datasets generated by different sampling methods.

The simulation results show that the structure has two passbands with resonance points of 3.9 GHz and 6.4 GHz, corresponding to − 0.0383 dB and −0.4816 dB. There are three absorption bands on both sides of the passband. The absorpted bands are 2.17 GHz∼2.6 GHz, 4.89 GHz∼5.9 GHz and 8.28 GHz∼9.1 GHz respectively.

As a natural consequence of the mutual couplings between different physics, most multiphysics problems are also multiscale problems. They can be geometrical, spatial, and temporal multiscales, and can span over several orders of magnitude in terms of the respective characteristics. To accurately simulate such a multiphysics and multiscale problem, it is essential that the multiscale couplings between different physics are properly modeled and simulated. In a numerical simulation, one can use either finer geometrical meshes or higher polynomial orders to resolve a smaller spatial feature, known as the $h$ - and $p$-refinement, respectively. Unfortunately, since the multiphysics coupling is a dynamic process, the small spatial features of the physics can evolve and propagate in both space and time. In this case, a static refinement does not work well and the $h$ - or $p$-refinement has to be performed in a dynamic fashion, which results in a numerical system with a not only large but also time-varying size. As a result, the application of $h$ - or $p$-refinement becomes extremely expensive and impractical to apply.","PeriodicalId":237030,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"38 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":"129176693","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}

It makes use of a specific set of roots of the characteristic equation of configuration, deduced earlier by complex Kummer and Tricomi or by Tricomi and its complex conjugate confluent hypergeometric functions, and by real zeroth and first order Bessel ones, and by the real positive $overline{boldsymbol{L}}_{4pm}$ numbers, linked with another set of roots of the equation said.

The system of integral equation that models a given H-plane microwave device is written in terms of mixed-potentials, whose unknowns are equivalent electric $vec{J}$ or magnetic $vec{M}$ surface current densities. These unknown currents are defined, after the aplication of the Surface Equivalence Principle, on the discontinuities between the input and output waveguide ports and a rectangular cavity, as well as on the dielectric and/or metallic posts contour. The, so called, original problem is split into several equivalent problems, defined in different regions, that are coupled each other by the aforementioned unknown surface current densities. The kernel of the integral equation is expressed making used of Green's functions that takes into account the boundary conditions corresponding to the region where the considered equivalent problem is defined; namely, parallel plate Green's functions, 2D rectangular cavity Green's functions or unbounded medium Green's functions. Series acceleration techniques such as the Kummer's transformation and the Ewald method has been employed in order to improve the efficiency when computing the parallel plate and 2D rectangular cavity Green's functions. Two simulation examples are presented, comparing the results provided by the novel integral equation technique to those retrieved with a finite elements software tool (ANSYS HFSS). A very good agreement between both method has been obtained, showing the accuracy and efficiency of the technique proposed in this contribution.","PeriodicalId":237030,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"15 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":"124208495","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 physical principles of linearity, passivity, and time translational invariance, it can often be shown that the product of performance and bandwidth is bounded by a number which can be computed from knowledge of the low and high frequency asymptotes of the electromagnetic function in question. In this contribution, we show how these asymptotes (in particular the low frequency limit) can be computed or estimated for a number of canonical structures, and highlight the fundamental difficulties that arise when simplified models like PEC boundary conditions can not be applied. For instance, to compute the low frequency reflection and transmission coefficients for a perforated infinite periodic structure with finite conductivity proves to require significantly different local problems than the corresponding PEC structure, due to the partial transmission of electromagnetic waves in the static limit.","PeriodicalId":237030,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"273 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":"121413005","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}
