An equivalent circuit model of coaxial probes is derived directly from the intrinsic via circuit model. As all the higher-order evanescent modes have been included analytically in the parasitic circuit elements, only the propagating mode needs to be considered by the simplest uniform-current model of a coaxial probe in numerical solvers such as finite element method (FEM) or finite difference t...

In this paper using nested Rectangular resonator we have designed an add-drop filter based on photonic crystal structures suitable for optical communication applications. The drop efficiency and the quality factor of our proposed filter is 100% and 2508. In this filter the quality factor is significantly improved with respect to other published reports. The simulation results are obtained using...

Microwave heating–drying of wood using a wave guide is a relatively new area of research. In order to gain insight into the phenomena that occur within the wave guide together with the temperature distribution in the wood, a detailed knowledge of absorbed power distribution is necessary. In this paper, a two dimensional numerical model is developed to predicted the distribution of electromagnet...

The thesis concentrates on the numerical analysis of electromagnetic fields with the finite difference method. Simple and fast approximative techniques are studied and developed for the estimation of the electromagnetic properties of various structures. Especially, techniques which preserve the simplicity of a structured lattice are explored. The emphasis in the thesis is put more into the rapi...

There have been significant advances in computational electromagnetics (CEM) in the last decade for a variety of antennas and propagation problems. Improvements in single frequency techniques including the finite element method (FEM), the fast mulitipole moment (FMM) method, and the method of moments (MoM) have led to significant simulation capabilities on basic computing platforms. Similar adv...

Electromagnetic modeling of large scale problems arising from complex geometries, such as the human body or the specific organ, is generally undertaken by numerical methods implemented in simulation software packages. The structures involving high discretization density (mainly based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging and handled by Finite Difference Time Domain method) consume tremendously high com...

An on-package dual-mode square-loop band pass filter is studied by applying a non-uniform finite difference time domain (NUFDTD) method. The filter is integrated on a package containing a transceiver, and it is designed to operate in dual-modes, i.e., TM100 and TM010, to ensure a good electric performance around the center frequency at 5.25 GHz, which is commonly allocated in wireless local are...

We analyze the performance of finite-difference timedomain (FDTD) method implementations for 2D and 3D problems. Implementations in Fortran, C and C++ (with Blitz++ library) languages and performance tests on several hardware setups (AMD, Intel i5, Intel Xeon) are considered. The performance of implementations using traditional FDTD algorithm for the largest size of test problem is limited by t...

A new absorbing boundary condition (ABC) is presented for the solution of Maxwell equations in unbounded spaces. Called the Huygens ABC, this condition is a generalization of two previously published ABCs, namely the multiple absorbing surfaces (MAS) and the re-radiating boundary condition (rRBC). The properties of the Huygens ABC are derived theoretically in continuous spaces and in the finite...
