The symmetrical feed circuit for 12×16 elements is designed by introducing cross junctions and asymmetrical T-junction. We design that the bandwidth for VSWR less than 1.2 is 9.63% and the maximum deviation from 58 GHz to 65 GHz is 1.34 dB in amplitude and 11.6 degrees in phase among all the output ports. The powder metal laser process can fabricate antennas with isolated etching patterns and multilayer structures regularly. The measured directivity of the copper antenna is comparable to the designed one by reflecting good near-field distribution within 5 dB amplitude and 60-degree phase variation. The estimated overall conductor loss is about 2 dB in the copper antenna in the measurement. A rectangular cavity resonator in a waveguide is introduced to evaluate the effective conductivity of aluminum by the powder metal laser process.","PeriodicalId":273349,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116635316","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 goal of this algorithm is to minimize the number of ray-surface intersection tests. While the application of space partitioning is rather common in ray tracing EM simulations as well as in computer science, an adaptive multi-level extension of the volumetric space partitioning scheme is proposed here. The multi-level space partitioning algorithm only requires the maximum allowed number of geometric elements inside a volumetric space partition and adaptively creates the space partitioning grid according to the object studied in the simulation, i.e. according to the distribution of geometric elements. The results show that runtimes can easily be reduced by 50% when applying this optimization algorithm.","PeriodicalId":273349,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO)","volume":"379 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122783315","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 method relies on a compact stencil high order interpolation of the electromagnetic field components within each cell of an unstructured tetrahedral mesh. This piecewise polynomial numerical approximation is allowed to be discontinuous from one mesh cell to another, and the consistency of the global approximation is obtained thanks to the definition of appropriate numerical traces of the fields on a face shared by two neighboring cells. Time integration is achieved using an explicit scheme and no global mass matrix inversion is required to advance the solution at each time step. Moreover, the resulting time-domain solver is particularly well adapted to parallel computing. In this paper, we discuss about recent contributions for improving the accuracy, flexibility and efficiency of the method, as well as its adaptation to physical models relevant to nanophotonic applications.","PeriodicalId":273349,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO)","volume":"173 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131645443","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}

Each of the methods represents a distinct approach: exploration-oriented (Voronoi tessellation), nonlinearity-exploitation-oriented (LOcal Linear Approximation) and model-error-minimization-oriented. This allows to build accurate and compact global behavioral models of drain voltage at different harmonics of a 0.15 μm GaAs HEMT transistor with only few hundreds of samples. After choosing the best sampling technique, two types of global models are compared: Radial Basis Function and Kriging. It is shown that the modeling convergence depends on the model type, and better results are obtained using the Kriging model.","PeriodicalId":273349,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115390300","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}
