Based on the frequency spectrum of LFM signal, the NMM and FFT are used to calculate the received signals of receiving coils. Then, matched filter realize pulse compression of the received signals, and the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is improved significantly. Well logging curves are obtained by making use of the amplitude ratio and the phase difference of two receiving coils in the peak point. The simulation results indicate that this method can strongly improve the SNR, especially for the correlated noise which is hardly restrained in single carrier signal.","PeriodicalId":314019,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122195421","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}

With the multidomain technique, the simulation region is partitioned into curvilinear hexahedral subdomains with better fitting to the structural shapes and material interfaces so as to achieve high-accuracy near-field calculations. Light scattering by multiple plasmonic nanospheres and light transmission through a metallic thin film perforated with periodic apertures are investigated with the PSTD analysis.","PeriodicalId":314019,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130373199","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}
