Due to non-linear frequency dependency in the Right Hand Side (RHS), the standard reduction methods do not perform properly. The proposed algorithm alleviates this problem being easy to implement and accurate in wide frequency band simulations of complex structures.","PeriodicalId":354299,"journal":{"name":"2016 21st International Conference on Microwave, Radar and Wireless Communications (MIKON)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128650343","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 contrast to the conventional measurement approach using two measurement antennas, the proposed measurement setup uses only one antenna and one metallic reflector. Measurements have been performed using a patch antenna immersed in a steel basin filled with a tissue-equivalent liquid. The microstrip antenna has been optimized for an application in the 2.45GHz ISM band and features a biocompatible passivation layer and a rigid aluminum housing. The tissue-equivalent liquid mimicks dielectric tissue properties over a hypotonic hydration change. The steel basin acts as a liquid retainer and as a metallic reflector for the measurement setup. Measurements with the proposed setup have shown, that a clear distinction of physiologically relevant hydration levels is possible.","PeriodicalId":354299,"journal":{"name":"2016 21st International Conference on Microwave, Radar and Wireless Communications (MIKON)","volume":"31 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124657792","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 computational efficiency of the overall process can be increased by departing from traditional sequential computing model in favor of utilizing the parallel processing capability commonly offered by modern hardware. In this paper, we consider a hybrid programming pattern, OpenMP + CUDA, from the perspective of a user of a rather typical low-cost multi-core CPU-based workstation that can accommodate up to four GPUs. Such the small-scale heterogeneous platforms have recently gained wide popularity in scientific computing as an inexpensive massively parallel architecture. The relevant programming model issues and performance questions are addressed.

The filter is based on an open-loop resonator that is composed of a microstrip line with both ends loaded with folded open stubs. The folded arms of the open stubs are utilized to increase the loading capacitance to ground. In addition, the folded arms of the open stubs are also used to introduce cross couplings. The cross couplings can create transmission zeros at the edges of the desired passband. As a result, the filter can exhibit a passband with sharp rejection skirts. The filter is designed to have a fractional bandwidth of about 3.3% at a center frequency of 30.0 GHz. The filter design is realized using Rogers RT6002 substrate with a dielectric constant of 2.94 and a thickness of 0.127 mm. The filter design is successfully fabricated using the printed circuit board (PCB) technology. The fabricated filter is measured and an excellent agreement between the simulated and measured results is achieved. The fabricated filter has the advantages of compact size and excellent performance.","PeriodicalId":354299,"journal":{"name":"2016 21st International Conference on Microwave, Radar and Wireless Communications (MIKON)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115768865","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}
