The resonator consists of two concentric cylindrical material layers covered with an infinitely thin conducting shell with an aperture. Exact analytical solution of the problem is derived; it is based on the n-series approach which is casted into the equivalent Riemann-Hilbert problem. The examined configuration leads to large enhancements of the radiated field and to steerable Huygens-like directivity patterns. Particularly, the directivities can be reshaped by changing the source location, as well as the extent of the aperture. The present results may provide alternative strategies for beam shaping and may contribute to development of novel nano-antenna designs.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121464684","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}

Common for the systems are that they are passive, linear and time-translational invariant. In this paper we shortly review the extension from one-dimensional passive systems to multi-dimensional systems, aiming towards constraining the system properties. The most well-known case of system constraints follows from multi-dimensional passivity, where a Schwartz-kernel representation theorem maps Borel-measures with a growth condition to the (complexified) Fourier transform of the transfer function. A weaker form of system constraints follow from generalizations of Kramers-Kronig relations. One such approach is a generalized Cauchy-Bochner representations, under Sobolev space limitations on the transform pair. This approach is closely connected to that the support of the transfer function is within an acute cone. Another approach to system transfer constraints is the multi-dimensional Hilbert-transform, often with square-integrable function requirements. It is observed that the Cauchy-Bochner representation and the multi-dimensional Hilbert transform yield different representations in higher dimensions although they give the same in one dimension. We end the paper with a few explicit examples of functions that satisfy the constraints.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133346187","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 motivation of this work is a set of novel thermophotovoltaic devices suggested earlier. The key element of these devices is a wire medium slab which electromagnetically connects hot and cold parts without touching them due to a small gap between the ends of the wires and these parts of the system. The electromagnetic connection implies radiative heat transfer. This transfer presumably holds in a very wide band of infrared frequencies. However, this theory was never confirmed experimentally. Even the conceptual possibility of broadband electromagnetic power transfer through a wire medium layer was obtained only in numerical simulations. In the present work, the authors propose a test-bed system, qualitatively mimicking the radiation by a thermal emitter in the radio frequency range. The thermal emitter is replaced by an input waveguide and the photovoltaic (cold) part - by an output waveguide. They are separated by a substantial air gap in which an array of parallel wires is introduced, not touching the waveguide walls.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125269013","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}
