To characterise the reflection properties of printed surfaces like FSS (Frequency Selective Surfaces) and EBG (Electromagnetic Band-Gap), it is standard to use a plane wave excitation, and then compare the phase of the incident and the reflected waves. Thus, the phase difference over the frequency can be obtained. Nevertheless, in most cases, only infinite size structures are considered. In thi...

The purpose of this research is to present efficient models of novel materials and surfaces based on metamaterials (MTM) and/or electromagnetic band-gap structures (EBG) suitable for large scale simulation in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems. It is shown that the employment of digital filter (DF) techniques provides an efficient means of describing such materials (which inevitably c...

A compact dual-band electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure is proposed. It is shown through numerical simulation using 3D electromagnetic finite element modelling that by adding a slit to the classical mushroom shape an extra resonance is introduced and thus dual-band EBG structures can be built by cascading these new elements. It is also demonstrated that this novel approach can be used to i...

This paper presentS a special case of Explanation-Based Generalization (EBG), Goal Generalization. Goal generalization. which cries to find a proof for the most general solvable ve~ion of a specific goal while solving the specific goal, is an application of EBG methods in automatic theorem proving and is a general technique applicable to many goal-oriented theorem proving systems. We will descr...

This paper demonstrates an efficient modelling method for artificial materials using digital filtering (DF) techniques. To demonstrate the efficiency of the DF technique it is applied to an electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure and a capacitively-loaded loop the so-called, CLL-based metamaterial. Firstly, this paper describes fine mesh simulations, in which a very small cell size (0.1 × 0.1 ×...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of double oscillation exercise combined with elastic band exercise on the strength and thickness ratio of the scapular stabilizing muscles in healthy young individuals. A total of 30 subjects (17 male, 13 female) were randomly assigned to an elastic band exercise group (EBG) (n = 15) or an elastic band plus double oscillation exercise group (EB-DOG) (n...
