an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

Opinion Dynamic with agents immigration

Recent years, a large class of interdisciplinary problems has been successfully studied with statistical physics methods. Statistical physics establishes the bridge from microscopic characteristics to macroscopic behaviors, for systems containing a large number of interacting components. Using both analytical and numerical tools, it has contributed greatly to our understanding of various comple...
