Planar spiral coils are used as inductors in radio frequency (RF) microelectronic integrated circuits (IC’s) and as antennas in both radio frequency identification (RFID) and telemetry systems. They must be designed to a specified inductance. From the literature, approximate analytical formulae for the inductance of such coils with rectangular conductor cross section are known. They yield the direct current (DC) inductance, which is considered as a good approximation for inductors in RF IC’s up to the GHz range. In principle, these formulae can simplify coil design considerably. But a recent comparative study of the most cited formulae revealed that their maximum relative error is often much larger than claimed by the author, and too large to be useful in circuit design. This paper presents a more accurate formula for the DC inductance of square planar spiral coils than was known so far. It is applicable to any design of such coils with up to windings. Owing to its scalability, this holds irrespectively of the coil size and the inductance range. It lowers the maximum error over the whole domain of definition from so far down to . This has been tested by the same method used in the comparative study mentioned above, where the precise reference inductances were computed with the help of the free standard software FastHenry2. A comparison to measurements is included. Moreover, the source code of a MATLAB® function to implement the formula is given in the appendix.

We present a semi-analytical method to extract transverse polarizability parameters of an arbitrary bi-anisotropic sub-wavelength scatterer both in homogeneous medium and placed at the boundary of two simple (homogeneous, isotropic, and linear) media. Using this technique, polarizability parameters of various dielectric and/or metallic scatterers are obtained, effectively. In this method, a scatterer is placed at the middle of a rectangular waveguide which in general is filled by two different simple media in either sides of the scatterer. The waveguide is designed so that the two TE10 and TE01 fundamental modes are propagating in a given frequency band. All 16 transverse polarizabilities are fast obtained having 16 different generalized scattering parameters (S-parameters). The S-parameters are associated with excitations at two different ports of the waveguide and the two different modes (TE10 and TE01). Comparing to existing polarizability extraction methods, the presented waveguide method is easy to run, fast and almost accurate. In order to validate the method, we present three examples including omega particle and magneto-dielectric sphere in free-space and an electric resonance particle, placed on top of a dielectric half-space.

With increasing complexity of EM problems, 1D and 2D axisymmetric approximations in p, z plane are sometimes necessary to quickly solve difficult symmetric problems using limited data storage and within shortest possible time. Inhomogeneous EM problems frequently occur in cases where two or more dielectric media, separated by an interface, exist and could pose challenges in complex EM problems. Simple, fast and efficient numerical techniques are constantly desired. This paper presents the application of simple and efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to EM inhomogeneous axisymmetric Laplace’s equations. Two cases are considered based on constant and mixed boundary potentials and MCMC solutions are found to be in close agreement with the finite difference solutions.

A new sub-THz leaky wave antenna based on grounded silicon substrate for chip to chip communication applications is presented. The proposed leaky wave antenna is based on sinusoidally modulated surface reactance. This surface reactance is implemented by using varying width strips on the top of a grounded silicon substrate. Two approaches for developing these strips are studied. These two approaches are based on either highly doped silicon strips or gold strips. Both the doped silicon and the gold are presented by using their corresponding Drude models at the proposed operating frequency. Comparisons between the properties of these two approaches are presented to show the applicability of each one.

This paper reports in situ preparation of ZnSe-PVA nanocomposite film using ecofriendly, safe, inexpensive, facile and non-organometallic synthetic chemical route, with PVA as the stabilizing agent. The XRD studies showed the formation of cubic ZnSe nanoparticles in PVA matrix with an average size of ~7 nm. Energy band gap determined by absorption edge of UV-VIS absorption spectra revealed increase in band gap with decrease in particle size. The optical properties like Refractive index and Photoluminescence (PL) of ZnSe /PVA with varying concentration of ZnSe content are also reported. The blue shift was found due to size reduction of ZnSe nanoparticles in PVA matrix.

A new formula for calculating the optimum width of a Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) corresponding to the first mode is presented in this paper. Finite Difference Frequency Domain (FDFD) method is applied to analyze the waveguide structure where geometrical parameters of the SIW are iteratively varied in order to minimize the gap between cutoff frequencies of SIW structure and that of an equivalent conventional rectangular waveguide. Adequate parameters are used to derive the new formula. To verify the accuracy of the new formula, several waveguides are designed and analyzed using the commercial software HFSS. The calculated propagation constants are compared with experimental measurements from literature, a very good conformity is obtained.

The present paper reports on the development of a Novel Patch Antenna Array for 4.9 GHz Public Safety WLAN applications. In today’s era of advanced technology, high speed video surveillance is very crucial from security point of view. Public safety surveillance services below 1 GHz are mainly used in voice surveillance services, whereas 4.9 GHz Public Safety WLAN is used for video surveillance services. Accordingly, in this work, 2×2 element antenna array is designed on FR4 substrate using modified triangular patch antenna element with improved gain to the tune of 6.69 dBi. In this research work, biologically inspired Whale Optimization method is used in combination with polynomial curve-fitting technique for the optimization of three different geometrical dimensions of the patch antenna element. The optimized element is further modified geometrically by corner rounding and cut in feed to improve its performance including gain. The proposed antenna array resonates at 4.9 GHz covering 120 MHz bandwidth with an achievement of -15.87 dB reflection coefficient and high gain. Results of simulation study are validated with measured results. The uniqueness of the proposed design lies in the achievement of a large gain using simple patch antenna array designed on readily available low cost FR4 substrate making very easy fabrication. Such an attempt has been rarely reported in the literature. However, the results of present investigations are quite convincing.

The ISM applicators generate leakage currents that can disrupt satellite TV transmission, taking into account the effects of the electromagnetic waves and those of the CEM. We are interested in these as a way to reconstitute their leakage currents, using the Micro-waves Imagery. We propose such a method of spectral analysis, which is intended to reconstruct the equivalent current distribution (position and form) to an object starting from the diffracted field spectrum by the Micro-waves Imagery. Our contribution resides in the influence of different parameters (N number of the measurement point, and the distance z0 of the measurement plane) on the reconstitution quality. This method is presented and illustrated; an algorithm of reconstructing the image of an object existing within a surrounding homogenous medium with known dielectric properties, this algorithm is developed with MATLAB. This method leads to more significant results, and quickly permits to get information about the object form.

In this paper unique photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structure with nanoholes embedded have been studied. Embedded nanoholes have been filled with different materials of alcoholic groups like butanol, ethanol, methanol and propanol. Investigations of these structure shows flattened zero dispersion in visible range to far infrared regions. Simulated PCF structure reports ultra-low confinement loss of the order of 10-8 dB/km. Designed PCF promises to give large nonlinear coefficient of 3000 W-1Km-1 at 1335nm wavelengths. Numerical simulation of the fiber for the generation of supercontinuum generation (SCG) has been performed. Low power pump pulses of 50fs duration have been used. With a fiber of length of 15cm and pulses of 1kW, 2kW, 5kW and 10kW peak power, supercontinuum broadening of about 607nm, 908nm, 1987nm and 2405nm respectively.

Magnetic crane is one of the industrial applications of magnetic absorption, which uses an electromagnet to create the necessary force for lifting and moving objects. In this paper, the field analysis and design of an electromagnet are discussed. During the electromagnet analysis and design process, with special attention to leakage fluxes and fringing effects, a new magnetic equivalent circuit for an electromagnet is proposed. Also, the nonlinear behavior of the B-H curve of the ferromagnetic core and its saturation point are considered. Due to the various shapes of the ferromagnetic core, the U_I structure is selected with a symmetrical winding to reduce leakage flux and fringing effects. MATLAB software is used for analyzing and designing the electromagnet, and ANSYS Maxwell software is used to simulate its magnetic field. To verify the accuracy of the proposed method, the prototype was made of a magnetic crane with designed electromagnet. The comparison between measurement and simulation results shows that the error is less than 2%, which confirms the accuracy of the proposed method.
