In the microscope level, each meta-atom consists of 16×16 square sub-blocks covered with and without metal, denoted by microscope coding ‘1’ and ‘0’, respectively. The reflection phase of meta-atom is governed by the microscope coding pattern. Considering two-fold symmetry, there are 264 different coding patterns, corresponding to different phase responses. In this paper, we propose a deep learning method to predict the reflection phase of meta-atoms with arbitrary patterns, at 10GHz, in which only 70000 training coding patterns are used to train the network. We employ the other 10000 randomly-chosen coding patterns to validate the neural network, showing an accuracy of 90.05% of phase responses with 2° error in 360° phase and the average forecast error is 1.4933°. Using the learned network, we can readily find the correct coding pattern among 18 billion of billions of choices for required phase in a second, finishing fast automatic design of arbitrarily anisotropic meta-atoms. If the traditional method is used, the design of arbitrarily anisotropic meta-atoms would be very complicated and time consuming, in which experts must find special geometries based on large amounts numerical simulations to fulfill the tasks.","PeriodicalId":342849,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124789233","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 paper, an equivalent dipole array model is established for radiation pattern evaluation based on the phaseless and single-plane near-field scanning. The field magnitude is obtained by near-field scanner. Using an interpolation method, we can obtain a group of interpolated field magnitude under the assumption that field magnitude does not vary dramatically between two adjacent sampling points. Subsequently, an iterative algorithm together with singular value decomposition (SVD) method is performed between measured data and interpolated data for reconstructing the equivalent dipole array. Then, radiation pattern can be calculated by the equivalent sources. A measurement example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Reducing a half of sampling points is the major advantage of this method, and it still can establish a valid equivalent source. This method can be regarded as a good compromise between efficiency and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":342849,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131583953","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 paper, we propose a new framework called Combined Layer GAN as a solution of dealing with image style transfer problem. Specifically, the edge-constraint and color-constraint are proposed and explored in the GAN based image translation method to improve the performance. The motivation of the work is that color and edge are fundamental vision factors for an image, while in the traditional deep network based approach, there is a lack of fine control of these factors in the process of translation and the performance is degraded consequently. Our experiments and evaluations show that our novel method with the edge and color constrains is more stable, and significantly improves the performance compared with the traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":342849,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127249324","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 paper, characteristic mode approach is presented for analyzing DRAs. It can handle different shapes and materials for DRAs owing to its full-wave nature. Spherical shell DRAs are analyzed as an example. It is shown that the DRAs made of low permittivity PLA material do not achieve the resonance when its diameter equals to a half wavelength. Usage of higher permittivity material like BaTiO3/ABS polymer composites can reduce the resonant frequency as expected. Therefore, it is not efficient to excite those modes as traditional DRA design. Instead, we need to co-design the DRA and its feeding structures. A conformal feed is used to excite a thin spherical shell DRA with PLA material, and it is seen that the antenna is resonant at 480 MHz with a bandwidth of 50 MHz. Total length of the feed is only 0.2176 times of the wavelength at 480 MHz, thus it can be considered as a DRA instead of a dielectric loaded antenna.","PeriodicalId":342849,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126685739","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}
