The two formulations differ in the temporal mutual action between the time dependent quantities involved in the reciprocity process. Using an approximate expression for the dipole's current gives a convenient expression for the transfer response that can further be used for the analysis of the roles of different delayed wave-field contributions and causality.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124508100","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}

Based on recent theoretical advances in the areas of near-field dynamics and electromagnetic system-theoretic methods, we outline the new approach based on first developing an electromagnetic information theory, then using the concept of information buried within the spatial structure of the field to elaborate a calculus that can be systematically deployed in order to study and develop general electromagnetic systems simultaneously in both space and time.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133233330","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}

FSIW-based horn antennas are very promising in millimeter wave applications. To improve the bandwidth and efficiency of such antennas, a thick substrate is preferred but the microstrip feeding line becomes unacceptly wide to obtain a reasonable impedance. This paper introduces compact microstrip feeding lines with elevated ground plane for thick FSIW. Arbitrary characteristic impedance can be achieved without increasing the width of the feeding line, which will be very useful for the integration with other millimeter circuit components.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122373502","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}
