We will demonstrate this mixed SEM with the applications in waveguides and cavities. In order to suppress the zero spurious modes, the divergence-free condition (i.e., Gauss' law) must be enforced in the spectral element. The novel high-order mixed SEM is proposed for the analysis of anisotropic, lossy, and open waveguides and cavities. It utilizes the edge-based curl-conforming Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) polynomials to approximate the tangential vector of the electric field; and for waveguide problems, it uses the nodal-based scalar GLL basis functions to discretize its longitudinal component to obtain the highly accurate simulations.","PeriodicalId":409699,"journal":{"name":"2015 Computational Electromagnetics International Workshop (CEM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116753593","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}

Often, the top-most layer is utilized for antenna placement and remaining layers are reserved for other electronic circuits. Although it is not possible to overcome the effects of substrate loss which results in low antenna efficiency, it is possible to make use of remaining layers to reduce the antenna loading from low-resistivity silicon. In this study, we designed and prototyped an impulse generator circuit, transmitter circuit and a loop antenna on the same silicon substrate. The prototype is built through Europractice UMC L180 mixed/RF technology.

This leads to problems in iterative convergence in a fast solver framework, namely large iteration count or inaccuracies in the solution. To alleviate the problem, quasi-Helmholtz decomposition by loop-tree or loopstar bases is often performed. However, it is a time-inefficient process to extract loops from complex real-world structures containing multiple holes and handles. To avoid this bottleneck, a separated potential integral equation formulation is proposed (SPIE-PMCHWT) in this paper for solving low frequency illconditioning of PMCHWT problems.","PeriodicalId":409699,"journal":{"name":"2015 Computational Electromagnetics International Workshop (CEM)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125583228","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 addition, a shorting pin (SP) which connects radiating element to GP is used for miniaturization purpose. By optimizing the proposed antenna in terms of its size, feeding and SP position, the IMS antenna with only 10.6x10x1.27 mm3 offers a dual band performance (VSWR<;2) covering medical implant communication services (MICS) 402{405 MHz) and industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) 2.4(2.48 GHz) bands.
