Here the homogeneous ellipsoid, as a human body model, is irradiated by plane wave, representing far-field zone of antenna.","PeriodicalId":306289,"journal":{"name":"2008 14th Conference on Microwave Techniques","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125713450","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 genetic algorithm and the particle swarm optimization were chosen to determine the initial estimation.

The comparison is shown on a design of an optimized 50 Omega load composed of a common SMA flange connector and a set of 0603 size SMD resistors. The resistors are soldered between the inner conductor of the coaxial SMA connector and the flange. Several arrangements of the SMD resistors ranging from single-resistor arrangement to four-resistor pattern as well as different orientation of the resistive layer of the SMD resistors are discussed. Step discontinuity of the inner conductor of a real SMA connector is subsequently also involved in 3D EM field simulation and these results are compared with precise vector measurements.","PeriodicalId":306289,"journal":{"name":"2008 14th Conference on Microwave Techniques","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116608311","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}

One of these measurements is radiated EMI measurement. Selection of the receive antenna is an important uncertainty source in such a measurement. Choice of Bilog antenna instead of half-wave dipole is convenient due to its broadband properties, but it can influence the total uncertainty of the measurement. Bilog antenna is directional antenna; its directivity pattern (normalized radiation pattern) is different to the dipole's one. Because all the theoretical calculations consider a dipole and its properties, the use of Bilog can cause additional error, which increases the measurement uncertainty. Analysis of this influence is the aim of this paper.","PeriodicalId":306289,"journal":{"name":"2008 14th Conference on Microwave Techniques","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128950376","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}
