It shows that by using a combination of triangular grid configuration and random thinning, a reduction of up to 20% of the total number of elements can be achieved without any significant sacrifice on performance. This has a major impact on reducing the cost since the number of elements is a main cost driver in such large array systems. The results are demonstrated through full wave simulation of the ORA array which is a major candidate for the SKA-MFAA.","PeriodicalId":277112,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130582797","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}

In this sense, an air-core single-layer solenoid is a critical component, in which this condition is very often attained and lumped element theory is not valid. Besides the electromagnetic analysis of the solenoid helix not be an easy task, for many cases of interest some assumptions and conditions simplify the analysis. In this paper it is shown that the air-core solenoid coil can be treated as a lossless transmission line, or more precisely, as a helical transmission line, and that its impedance behavior and self-resonant frequencies can be found with this theory. Also two new configurations are here presented: a coil with both sides open and a coil with both sides short-circuited. It is shown that, in both configurations, the coils have similar behavior and same resonant frequencies. Simulations and measurements are conducted to validate the presented theory.","PeriodicalId":277112,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120967375","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 aim of this research is to transmit the extracted physiological signals from the body of a small animal wirelessly to an external RFID reader (400MHz) connected to a computer via USB cable. The overall dimensions of the antenna are 32mm×22mm×4mm and the ground plane of RFID tag is utilized to improve the performance of the antenna. Animal tissue model has been developed and the antenna is encapsulated by a bio-compatible material before putting it in this model.

Two Method-of-Moment (MoM) based strategies will be considered to analyse the coupling between the domains, viz. the Numerical Greens Function Method (NGF) as well as an Iterative Field Bouncing (IFB) scheme.
