In this paper, the integral equation — fast Fourier transformation (IE-FFT) with grid-robust higher order vector basis functions is presented. The magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) is used for solving scattering from three-dimensional closed perfectly electric conductor (PEC). Conformal mesh is required for traditional basis function based on common edges between adjacent elements. This is very rigorous requirement for large electrical, complicated geometry. Instead of conformal mesh, a grid-robust higher order vector basis function keeps the flexibility of geometry modeling. Further, the IE-FFT algorithm is used to accelerate the solution of MFIE. Compared with traditional RWG basis function, the present method has much lower error of interpolation, the filling process will be simpler.

This paper describes the application of an efficient implicit finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) based on the locally one-dimensional (LOD) scheme to the analysis of periodic band-gap structures. In particular, the technique of oblique incidence is introduced into the periodic LOD-FDTD method. To maintain a tridiagonal system of linear equations, we newly develop a three-step algorithm consistent with the LOD procedure. In addition, the Sherman-Morrison formula is used to solve a cyclic matrix problem resulting from the application of the implicit scheme to the periodic boundary condition. The effectiveness of the present method is investigated through the analysis of periodic band-gap structures at oblique incidence. It is shown that the method efficiently provides the transmission spectrum, compared with the traditional explicit periodic FDTD method.

Metal detectors are widely used in landmine detection and other military applications. Knowledge of the depth, size and orientation of buried targets could contribute significantly to a reduction in the false alarm rate and improved efficiency in route clearance and other field applications. This paper explores a possible approach that could be used to determine target depth and target types using a metal detector with multiple receive coils of different configurations. The proposed approach has been practically implemented in an advanced dual receive coil metal detector array data set. Burial depths have been estimated for a range of targets buried from flush to 24 inches. This approach is shown to be robust to changes in target orientation and background soil conditions. This paper then explores a method which can be used to estimate depths without prior knowledge of the target type.

During magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an implanted lead present in a patient's body scatters the radiofrquency (RF) field used for magnetic resonance. The resultant RF field can achieve very high values in the vicinity of the implant structure. The conduction currents flowing in tissue can cause dangerous resistive heating. Therefore scattering by implanted devices is an important safety issue in MR scanning. The scattering problem is large and computationally expensive. However the scattered field produced by the implant has a significant strength only in the vicinity of the implant and does not extend over a large tissue volume. Using this fact, a hybrid finite element-method of moments (FEM-MoM) formulation is used in this paper to compute the scattered fields of different implants.

This paper presents a hybrid combination of the generalized ray expansion (GRE) method and high-frequency methods for analyzing the scattering and radiation problems incorporating electrically large and complex structures. A dense grid of ray tubes are launched from the phase centers of the subapertures making up the equivalent surface which encloses the target in the scattering problem, or the antenna in the radiation problem. Those rays represent the equivalent incident field on the target in the former case, and the field radiated by the antenna in the latter case. The rays are then traced through interactions with the target or the nearby structure based on high-frequency methods. The main advantage of the GRE method is that only one set of rays needs to be traced and it is independent of the excitation.

Cross polarization ratio (CPR) analysis can be used to determine the quality of circular polarization of an antenna as compared to the commonly used axial ratio (AR) analysis. The analysis is independent of E-field left and right polarity measurement which requires two circular polarized reference antennas of left and right. Through CPR, the quality of circular polarization of an antenna can be measured from a reference linear polarity antenna. A low complexity 2.4 GHz circular polarized truncated corner patch antenna is designed and fabricated on printed circuit board (PCB) to show the simple process to analyse circular polarization quality of the antenna. Simulation result is compared to the theoretical considerations and measurement of ratio and E-field results.

The effect of skin tissue on the scattering of the MRI RF field by deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads is analyzed. RF induced heating occurs in the tissue surrounding the electrodes at the end of such a medical lead. The electric field and the induced temperature rise are found by solving the wave and heat equations. Spatial plots of the solutions are obtained. The presence of skin tissue also affects the transmission line behavior of the lead, and the resonant length; these effects are discussed.

A new set of hierarchical vector basis functions that spans the curl-conforming reduced-gradient spaces of Nédélec on a triangular-prism cell is presented. These functions are constructed from orthogonal scalar polynomials to enhance their linear independence, which is a simpler process than an orthogonalization applied to the final vector functions. The new functions are compatible with those recently developed for tetrahedral and brick cells, in the sense that vector functions on a triangular face of a tetrahedron (or on a quadrilateral face of a brick) can easily be made continuous with analogous functions on the triangular (or quadrilateral) face of a prism cell. Specific functions are tabulated to order 3.5.

This paper provides a semi analytical procedure to factorize the two dimensional kernel involved in the quarter plane diffraction problem. The proposed method is based on the reduction of the factorization problem to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of second kind. The solution of the Fredholm integral equation appears cumbersome since it involves two folded integrals. In order to reduce the number of the numerical unknowns a suitable representation of the W-H unknowns is proposed.
