A simple estimate shows that in he test program, about 40 million floating-point operations were performed in 58 sec on a single transputer. This is approximately 46% of the theoretical speed. In the case of the conjugate gradient method [8], 39% of the theoretical speed has been reached with OCCAM. This, and a comparison with the test of the floating-point operations (Table l), indicates that one will probably not get a faster code with OCCAM in our case.","PeriodicalId":377321,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Newsletter","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128994756","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}

Time-domain approaches are certainly much closer to the physical reality, but how do they deal with propagation within (or with scattering from) material media, since material properties are dispersive (frequency-dependant), at least over parts of the frequency spectrum? It is not obvious that timedomain approaches can determine the resulting distortion of the signal.","PeriodicalId":377321,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Newsletter","volume":"53 376 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126014264","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}

I was soon to learn that it was overwhelming to encompass such a broad field in detail. I think some of the inspiration for this interest in propagation came through J.A.

In this paper, a comparative study of the results of theoretical analyses and actual measurements is conducted to determine whether or not the construction of the batwing antenna could be simplified by eliminating the element at its central part, without detracting from its favorable characteristics.","PeriodicalId":377321,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Newsletter","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129105106","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}
