Using this approach, the coefficients have been evaluated close to discontinuities in the presence of higher order propagating as well as evanescent modes. This simple and rigorous approach enables us to characterize a discontinuity with reduced computational effort.","PeriodicalId":397063,"journal":{"name":"2006 12th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics and Canadian Radio Sciences Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128455547","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}

FZPL can be used for satellite TV receptions [1],[2],[3] and radio telescopes [4]. The paper treats the FZPL with a conical horn as receiving antenna by using Kirchhoff's diffraction integral formula and evaluates distributions of power flux density over the conical horn and receiving powers of the FZPL with the conical horn.

The boundary conditions are derived through discretization of the field expressions that already satisfy the edge condition in the vicinity of the edges and thus can properly characterize the field behaviors there.

LGAs are discrete dynamical systems that are based on a microscopic model of the physics being simulated. The basic constituents of an LGA are discrete cells. These cells are interconnected according to certain symmetric requirements to form an extremely large regular lattice. The cells of an LGA are extremely simple, requiring only a few bits to completely describe their states. Even through they are simple however, the collective behaviour of LGA microscopic systems are capable of exhibiting those behaviours described by partial differential equations for real physical systems. One type of simple LGA, the HPP LGA, is constructed with only a few bits per cell and operated on a rectangular lattice. We have demonstrated [1] that it is capable of simulating two dimensional electromagnetic fields. Furthermore, the inherent parallelism and simplicity of LGA algorithms make them ideally suited to implementation in a parallel processing architecture.","PeriodicalId":397063,"journal":{"name":"2006 12th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics and Canadian Radio Sciences Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125785489","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}
