The Pulsed-Field Multiport Antenna System Reciprocity Relation and Its Applications: A Time-Domain Approach

De Hoop, A.T. (author), Lager, I.E. (author), Tomassetti, V. (author)

A novel time-domain approach to the derivation of the pulsed electromagnetic field multiport antenna system reciprocity theorem is presented. The theorem interrelates the field and system properties in two states: the transmitting state and the receiving state. General time-domain Thevenin (voltage-source, impedance-based) and Norton (electric...

Simulation of silicon photomultiplier signals

Seifert, S. (author), Van Dam, H.T. (author), Huizenga, J. (author), Vinke, R. (author), Dendooven, P. (author), Löhner, H. (author), Schaart, D.R. (author)

In a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), also referred to as multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC), many Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are connected in parallel so as to combine the photon counting capabilities of each of these so-called microcells into a proportional light sensor. The discharge of a single microcell is relatively well...

A study on the steel corrosion protection of a microcapsule based self-healing cementitious system by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

Dong, B. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Han, N. (author), Xing, F. (author)

Based on microcapsule technology, a new type of self-healing system for cementitious composites is established. The performance of the system was characterized by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of steel bars immersed in a simulated concrete environment. The results demonstrate strong inhibition of chloride-induced corrosion when...

Closed-form solutions for the analysis of artificial dielectric layers under generic field incidence

Cavallo, D. (author), Syed, W.H. (author), Neto, A. (author)

We present an analytical method to model artificial dielectric layers (ADLs) of finite height. Starting from the closed-form solution for the scattering from a single layer under plane wave illumination, the formulation is extended to the multi-layer case, by including the higher-order interaction between parallel layers in analytical form. The...

Analytical Formulas for Artificial Dielectrics with Nonaligned Layers

Cavallo, D. (author), Felita, Cantika (author)

In this paper, we present analytical models to describe artificial dielectric layers (ADLs), when a lateral shift between layers is present. The alternate lateral displacement between layers is an important parameter to engineer the desired effective electromagnetic properties of the equivalent homogeneous material realized with the ADLs....

Analytical Models for Artificial Dielectrics with Non-Aligned Layers

Cavallo, Daniele (author), Cantika Felita, Cantika (author)

We present an analysis of artificial dielectric layers (ADLs), when a lateral shift between layers is present. The alternate lateral displacement of the layers is an important parameter to engineer the desired effective electromagnetic properties of the ADL material. More specifically, much higher equivalent dielectric constants can be...

Analytical equivalent models of artificial dielectric layers with arbitrary inter-layer shifts

Cavallo, D. (author)

Closed-form expressions to describe artificial dielectric layers (ADLs) are presented. The propagation of a generic plane wave within the artificial material is described by means of transmission line models, where each layer is represented as an equivalent shunt impedance. The given analytical formulas for the shunt impedance account for the...

Symmetrical Component Decomposition of DC Distribution Systems

van der Blij, N.H. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author), Bauer, P. (author)

Employing bipolar dc distribution systems introduces the possibility of imbalance in the system. To analyze these systems it is crucial to create novel modelling techniques. This paper presents a method to decompose dc distribution systems into symmetrical components. The presented method simplifies the analysis of balanced, unbalanced, and...

Norton Equivalent Circuit for Pulsed Photoconductive Antennas-Part I: Theoretical Model

Garufo, A. (author), Carluccio, G. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author), Neto, A. (author)

A novel equivalent circuit for pulsed photoconductive sources is introduced for describing the coupling between the photoconductive gap and the antenna. The proposed circuit effectively describes the mechanism of feeding the antenna by the semiconductor when this latter is illuminated by a laser operating in a pulsed mode. Starting from the...

The past few years have seen strong growth of solar-based off-grid energy solutions such as Solar Home Systems (SHS) as a means to ameliorate the grave problem of energy poverty. Battery storage is an essential component of SHS. An accurate battery model can play a vital role in SHS design. Knowing the dynamic behaviour of the battery is...

We propose a systematic approach to describe planar slot antennas, embedded in generic stratified media. An equivalent transmission line model for the slot is proposed, based on a spectral domain analysis. First, we introduce a method of moments solution to model semi-infinite slots, fed by a deltagap excitation. The solution entails only two...

Closed-Form Analysis of Artificial Dielectric Layers with Non-Periodic Characteristics

Cavallo, D. (author), van Schelven, R.M. (author)

We present a general analysis to describe non-periodic artificial dielectric layers (ADLs). Closed-form expressions for the equivalent layer impedance are given for generic plane-wave incidence, assuming that each individual layer can differ from the others in terms of geometrical parameters. By dropping the assumption of identical layers,...
