The numerical tool uses a mixed potential integral equation combined with the efficient and accurate CIM. The MoM solution adopted is particularly efficient for analyzing radiation susceptibility, since the impedance matrix associated with the PCB does not have to be recalculated for different orientation or polarization of the incident field. Although the shown results are preliminary, the potential for using the tool towards more elaborate geometries and magnitudes of the incident fields is shown. Further results will be incorporated in the presentation.","PeriodicalId":416991,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2000]","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116524298","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 derivation presented here can be employed usefully to calculate the magnetic fields in more complicated geometries. They may also be used for computation of self and mutual inductances for systems with thin conductors [9]. The reduction of the mathematical complexity based on the above expressions makes it desirable for calculation of magnetic fields in various problems. The expressions, obtained in the analytical form, allow easy solving of fields at singular locations. The presented method can be simply applied to derive expressions for the computation of magnetic fields of various thin conductors with the current flow in the longitudinal directions, and whose angular lengths are arbitrary. In this case, all mathematical procedures will be expressed over incomplete elliptic functions of the first, second, and third kinds [8].","PeriodicalId":416991,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2000]","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132230717","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 results show: (1) The FDTD algorithm is about 1.25 times as fast as TLM. The CPU runtimes for the 0- and 1st-Order MR.TD are almost the same as that of FDTD although much less time steps are required in the 0- and 1st-Order MRTD for the same time duration. The CPU runtimes linearly vary with the time step. Thus the CPU runtime of each algorithm is mainly determined by the number of variables that must be retrieved from, and stored in memory at each time step; (2) Because of the numerical comparison and memory reallocation in each time step, thresholding greatly increases computing load; (3) The 1st-Order Haar wavelet MRTD can save much more memory. The optimal relative threshold fraction is about 0.01 % and large memory savings are attainable while maintaining reasonable accuracy. But the CPU runtimes are too long for the 0-0rder and 1st-Order MRTD with thresholding technique. Thus the tradeoff between computational efficiency and memory saving should be taken into consideration. An optimum procedure and well-designed data structures are necessary to ensure that memory requirements are kept at a minimum while maintaining computational efficiency at the same time.","PeriodicalId":416991,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2000]","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121859522","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}
