In many applications, magnetic suspension systems are required to operate over large variations in air gap. As a result, the nonlinearities inherent in most types of suspensions have a significant impact on performance. Specifically, it may be difficult to design a linear controller which gives satisfactory performance, stability, and disturbance rejection over a wide range of operating points....

In this paper a new geometry of circularly polarized patch antenna is proposed with improved bandwidth. The radiation performance of proposed patch antenna is investigated using IE3D simulation software and its performance is compared with that of conventional circular patch antenna. The simulated return loss, axial ratio and impedance with frequency for the proposed antenna are reported in thi...

In order to improve Multi-polar magnetic structure’s efficiency. Ansoft Maxwell of electromagnetic field finite element software is utilized to study the effect of different polarity arrangement of magnetic seeding element on the magnetic induction intensity of seeding element end and magnetic field distribution in the seeding air gap. As a result of the different electromagnetic coil current d...

While developing an electrical machine, the main task is to obtain an optimal magnetic field’s distribution. It can be reduced to the selection of such constructive parameters that ensure the best circumstances for magnetic field’s existence. This work is dedicated to the determination of an optimal rotors shape for the synchronous reactive frequency doubler (SRFD). The task is solved by using ...

In this paper a description and operating principles of a consequent-pole permanent-magnet machine are presented. In addition, a sizing analysis, finite-element analysis, and experimental results for a prototype machine are addressed. Due to its particular configuration, this machine allows for a wide range of control of the air-gap flux with minimum field ampere-turn requirements and without b...

In this paper, deep sub-micron CMOS process compatible high Q on chip spiral inductors with air gap structure were designed and fabricated. In the design the electromagnetic solver, SONNET, and the finite element program, ANSYS, were used for electrical-characteristics and maximum mechanical strength, respectively. The copper wires were capped with electroless Ni plating to prevent the copper f...

We experimentally characterize the field confinement properties of various parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG) geometries in the terahertz spectral range. In contrast to infinite-width PPWGs with free-space diffraction along the unshielded direction, finite-width (and also tapered) PPWGs showwell-confined THz fields at the output facet. Both the transverse field component, perpendicular to the insi...

This paper presents an analytical model to estimate the motional resistance for partial air gap capacitivelytransduced MEMS resonators. This model serves as a link between the well formulated analytical models for conventional air gap and internal dielectric transduction schemes, thereby helping decide which scheme is optimal for a given design frequency. Using this model, we simulate and exper...

INTRODUCTION TO AIR BLAST MEASUREMENTS An explosion in air is a process by which a rapid release of energy generates a pressure wave of finite amplitude. The energy source can be anything that generates a violent reaction when initiated. This includes: chemical or nuclear materials, gases (high pressure gasstorage vessels, steam boilers), or electricity (spark gap, rapid vaporization of a metal...
