A Novel Dielectric Conformal FDTD Method for Computing Sar Distribution of the Human Body in a Metallic Cabin Illuminated by an Intentional Electromagnetic Pulse (Iemp)

Abstract

Abstract-One novel dielectric conformal finite-difference timedomain (FDTD) method is used for computing specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution over the human body model in one metallic cabin with some windows on its wall. It is based on the concept of area average, which is different from other traditional conformal FDTD schemes. Our developed algorithm is verified by calculating both point and average SARs of dielectric sphere and human head models illuminated by an intentional electromagnetic pulse (IEMP), respectively, and CST Microwave Studio (MWS) also used for validating its accuracy. Numerical calculations are further performed to show the average SAR distribution over the human body model for different IEMP incidences, where the cabin door is opened or closed. The effects of E-field amplitude, direction and polarization of the incident IEMP on the SAR distributions are characterized in detail. This study will be useful for further electromagnetic protection for some persons working in high power exposure environment.

Fast Estimation of Frequency and 2-D Doas for Cylindrical Conformal Array Antenna Using State-Space and Propagator Method

“…Its advantages include dramatic reduction of aerodynamic drag and the weight of arrays, wide angle coverage of 360 • , space-saving, reduction of radar cross-section, as well as potential increase in available aperture. Much of the existing research in conformal antenna array has mainly focused on the design of antenna elements [3][4][5], the pattern synthesis and optimization of conformal antenna [6][7][8][9][10]. The high resolution direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms [11][12][13][14] based on conformal antenna array has not been studied as intensively [15,16].…”

Parallel Implementation and Application of the MRTD With an Efficient CFS-PML

“…The Multi-Resolution Time-Domain (MRTD) technique was first published in 1996 by Krumpholz and Katehi [1,2], and has been developed rapidly as an efficient numerical algorithm in the timedomain like the long established Finite Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and other time-domain methods [18][19][20]. As the dispersion of the MRTD scheme compared to the conventional FDTD scheme shows an excellent capability to approximate the exact solution with negligible error for sampling rates approaching the Nyquist limit, it becomes possible that larger targets can be simulated without sacrificing accuracy.…”

Performance of FDTD Method Cpu Implementations for Simulation of Electromagnetic Processes

“…The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for electromagnetic phenomena simulations was introduced by Kane Yee in 1966 in the pioneer paper [1]. Various modifications of the method are often used for simulations of acoustics, seismic and earthquake studies [2], or even heat-acoustic phenomena [3] and bio-electromagnetic problems [4].…”
