Singular Integral Formulations for Electrodynamic Analysis of Metamaterial-Inspired Antenna Array

Abstract

In this paper, a set of singular integral formulations are derived to calculate the surface impedance matrix on the antenna array elements. The proposed mathematical model enables electrodynamic analysis of antenna arrays designed using metamaterial-inspired structures. The formulations allow the determination of the array's impedance, spatial and polarization characteristics at significantly low computational cost compared to conventional electromagnetic solvers based on method-of-moments (MoM) numerical technique. The accuracy of the surface impedance results obtained from the theoretical formulations are verified using the full wave EM software. It is shown that there is excellent agreement between the proposed formulations and EM software. The accuracy of the theoretical model presented is valid for single layer structures.

“…For better performance in the antenna, we use MWCNT, using metamaterials also improves the antenna's performance. [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] Wireless communication systems often use ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. Medical diagnostics is one area where UWB microwave imaging might be a helpful tool.…”

Electronic packaging cabinets simplified modeling, simulation, and experimental validation for systems engineering

“…The model experimental validation first step was to adjust the mathematical model solving an IPPE 27 with experimental set 1 and determining an approximate internal air velocity distribution according to the methodology described in section 4.2. For that, the converged mesh had a total of 7500 volume elements, according to the criterion established by Equation (13). Therefore, this was the mesh utilized for obtaining all numerical results in this study.…”

“…Some miniaturization methods useful in electronic systems have been reported recently. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] In that context, system mathematical modeling and subsequent thermal management optimization are highly desirable to deal with system energy efficiency demand, costs reduction, and environmental impact minimization. In that sense, the requirement for system response direct assessment or computer simulation of a multitude of viable configurations for different operating parameters sets needs to be tackled by fast and sufficiently accurate models.…”
