Electromagnetic source transformations using superellipse equations

چکیده
Transformation optics can be used to design media with unique properties that alter the behavior of electromagnetic waves in passive space and recently in space containing source distributions. We present source transformations where current from a linear radiator is spread over a cylindrical shell with various cross sections. The semianalytic transformations are based on superellipse equations. Finite-element full-wave simulations of transformations from a dipole to a cylinder, diamond-shaped cylinder, and flattened cylinder are presented. The radiation pattern of the dipole seen by an outside observer is replicated in all cases demonstrating the potential applicability of source transformations to conformal antenna design. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.

Capturing spiral radial growth of conifers using the superellipse to model tree-ring geometric shape
Tree-rings are often assumed to approximate a circular shape when estimating forest productivity and carbon dynamics. However, tree rings are rarely, if ever, circular, thereby possibly resulting in under- or over-estimation in forest productivity and carbon sequestration. Given the crucial role played by tree ring data in assessing forest productivity and carbon storage within a context of glo...
متن کاملDesign of electromagnetic cloaks and concentrators using form-invariant coordinate transformations of Maxwell’s equations
The technique of applying form-invariant, spatial coordinate transformations of Maxwell’s equations can facilitate the design of structures with unique electromagnetic or optical functionality. Here, we illustrate the transformation-optical approach in the designs of a square electromagnetic cloak and an omni-directional electromagnetic field concentrator. The transformation equations are descr...
متن کاملNew symmetries and conservation laws for electromagnetic fields
It is well known that classical conservation laws of energy, momentum, angular momentum and center-of-energy movement of the electromagnetic field are the consequences of the Maxwell equations invariance with respect to Poincare transformations. However, the relativistic invariance does not exhaust all symmetry properties of these equations. A natural question arises whether there exist any oth...
متن کاملMaking electromagnetic wavelets
Electromagnetic wavelets are constructed using scalar wavelets as superpotentials, together with an appropriate polarization. It is shown that oblate spheroidal antennas, which are ideal for their production and reception, can be made by deforming and merging two branch cuts. This determines a unique field on the interior of the spheroid which gives the boundary conditions for the surface charg...
متن کاملParameter determination in a parabolic inverse problem in general dimensions
It is well known that the parabolic partial differential equations in two or more space dimensions with overspecified boundary data, feature in the mathematical modeling of many phenomena. In this article, an inverse problem of determining an unknown time-dependent source term of a parabolic equation in general dimensions is considered. Employing some transformations, we change the inverse prob...
