The accuracy of equivalent dipole arrays for source modeling of electromagnetic fields is affected by several factors. In the step for extracting equivalent dipole arrays for a given source, there are three factors that can affect accuracy: scanning height, source spacing, and scanning gap. In the evaluation step of reconstructed fields, there are two other factors that can also affect accuracy: evaluation height and additional structures. In this paper, simple guidelines are suggested considering the three factors in extracting equivalent dipole arrays. Also, the effects of the evaluation height on accuracy of reconstructed fields are demonstrated in the presence of shielding or dielectric structures. A feature selective validation process was utilized to evaluate similarities between actual and estimated fields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
