The two-dimensional (2D) scattering of the E and H-polarized plane electromagnetic waves by a free-standing thinner than the wavelength dielectric strip is considered numerically. Two methods are compared: singular integral equations (SIE) on the strip median line obtained from the generalized boundary conditions for a thin dielectric layer and Muller boundary integral equations (BIE) for arbitrarily thick strip. The comparison shows the domain of acceptable accuracy of approximate model derived for thin dielectric strips.

Stochastic electromagnetic fields with Gaussian amplitude probability distribution can be fully described by auto-and cross correlation spectra of the field components. The cross correlation spectra have to be known for the the pairs of field components taken at different spatial points. In this work we present a methodology for computing near- and far-field propagation of the stochastic electromagnetic field by transformation of the field correlation matrices using free-space Green's functions.

A numerical electromagnetic modeling of a Wireless power system is presented. The system is composed of spiral resonators and loop inductances coupled by their magnetic and electric fields. Based on the full-wave simulation a network model of the system is derived allowing one to have a deeper insight of the electromagnetic field surrounding the system and of their coupling properties.

Composite materials based on epoxy resin filled with various kinds of graphite particles: exfoliated graphite (EG), natural graphite, and coarse, medium and fine artificial graphites have been prepared. The dielectric permittivity strongly increases with graphite particle size. This effect is related to the distance of the investigated filler concentrations to the composites' percolation threshold. Microwave experiments show that exfoliated graphite is, out of investigated graphite particles, the only one being a really effective additive for producing electromagnetic (EM) interference (EMI) shielding: 2 wt.% epoxy/EG is absolutely opaque to electromagnetic radiation at 30 GHz.

A fundamental rule in Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) modeling is to ensure that the shortest wavelength in the model is always large compared to the discretization parameter. This rule is appropriate for electromagnetic analysis, but when the TLM model is used to solve inverse problems, such as computational imaging, source reconstruction, or structure synthesis - procedures that involve computational reversal of time - this wavelength restriction severely compromises the spatial resolution of the procedure by virtue of the Abbe limit. By discarding this rule we achieve super-resolution in source reconstruction using time reversal. We leverage the Johns Matrix concept and the reciprocity of TLM to achieve a breakthrough where previous attempts at structure synthesis through time reversal have been unsatisfactory.

Cylindrical Wave Approach is applied to the scattering by a cylinder placed below a rough surface, and combined to Small Perturbation Method in the first-order approximation. In the theoretical approach, a surface with arbitrary profile is dealt with. As to the numerical solution, two alternative implementations of the surface are proposed: a sinusoidal profile and a periodic surface with samples from a Gaussian roughness spectrum. The developed method can be applied to the simulation of scattering by buried objects in a realistic environment with natural unevenesses.

Solving electric field integral equation (EFIE) with Nyström method requires accurate evaluation of hypersingular surface integrals since this method does not use divergence conforming basis and testing functions. The success of the method also depends on accurate representation of non-planar characteristics of the scattering object. In this study Hadamard finite part interpretation is used to evaluate hypersingular integrals over non-planar surfaces, which are represented by their Taylor series expansions. Numerical tests are conducted to show the effectiveness of the formulas. Also a scattering problem is solved which confirms the accuracy.

Space mapping is an effective method for speeding up EM optimization. The method normally requires an equivalent circuit as the coarse model. This paper addresses the situation when an equivalent circuit coarse model is not available. We establish our coarse model using a lookup table to store the data of coarse mesh EM simulations and its derivatives, avoiding the EM re-simulations w.r.t. the same values of design variables. In the proposed method, the surrogate model is developed using knowledge-based neural network (KBNN) combining the coarse model with a neural network. Our technique uses mostly coarse mesh EM evaluation and occasionally fine mesh EM evaluation to achieve optimal EM solutions with fine mesh accuracy. This technique is illustrated by two microwave filter examples.

In this paper we consider electro-magnetic systems where model complexity can be reduced by means of network and transmission line theory. However, the modeling concepts are derived under certain conditions from Maxwell's equations. We will discuss the restrictions regarding the interconnections of networks and transmission lines that can be used for the development of models of electromagnetic systems with a reduced complexity. Furthermore, we show the relationship between the magnetic field of wires calculated by Biot-Savart's formula and transmission line theory.
