Show moreIn this dissertation, the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of a large periodic array of rectangular open-ended waveguide apertures is determined numerically using several methods. The aperture boundaries are presumed to be Perfect Electrical Conductors (PEC). Although the problems of radiation from such a waveguide array and of aperture array scattering have been treated in the literature, the problem of scattering from an array of waveguide apertures does not appear to have been solved before. Considering the case of an array with constituent guides of semi-infinite length, the RCS is computed by several numerical methods based on the Integral Equation (IE) method, a least-squared error minimization technique referred to as Squared Field Error (SFE) method, direct solution of a surface integral equation, the Spectral Domain Method, and by using waveguide modes computed via the Finite Element Method (FEM). The case of finite-length guides is also treated using the IE and SFE methods. The results of these methods are compared with experimental data obtained from an outdoor RCS range. In order to simulate the semi-infinite case, the finite-length waveguides were terminated with radar absorbing foam so that nearly all reflection occurred at the apertures impinged upon by the incident plane wave. For all the methods cited, the infinite array approximation (cell-to-cell field periodicity except for a linear progressive interelement phase shift) is assumed to hold. A derivation of Floquet modes which implement this "phase-periodic" boundary condition is provided in an appendix, where an incidental discussion concerning the scalar and vector Laplacian operators is also furnished. A description of the structure and user interface of the software which has been written to implement the various methods is also given. The purposes of major subroutines and data structures are also delineated and several control-flow diagrams are included. As a foundation to extend the present work to analysis of the electromagnetic fields within an absorber coated PEC waveguide, a brief survey and a discussion of related work is provided.

The moment method is applied to solve an integral equation which relates the incident field to the induced electric field in an arbitrarily shaped biological body. To obtain more accurate results, a numerical integration technique developed here has been used. The computations on the induced electric fields compare well with earlier work done in this area. It has been found that there is indeed heating of tissues outside the region of intended treatment in hyperthermia at 80 MHz.

Show moreDue to a continuous growth of demand in voice and data communications for wireless systems, there is an ongoing challenge to design improved radiowave communication links. Polarization is one of the key properties of electromagnetic waves used in wireless communication and is the least studied in a scattering environment. A detailed understanding of how signals become de-polarized can improve the propagation models and can lead to more accurate propagation predictions and possibly new applications in the use of polarization. Potential beneficiaries of a system design using multi-dimensional polarization constellations to provide maximum polarization separation might include inter-satellite links, WLAN, LEO satellites [BSPP92] [IPLJ81] [SIKA98] and other systems operating in an environment where depolarization is insignificant. To examine the applicability of polarization in wireless communication systems, polarization field measurements were conducted, and the results and analysis are presented in this dissertation. Based on the analysis, a statistical model that characterizes polarization in relation to Poincare sphere is developed and presented. Design and implementation of an N-constellation diversity scheme that provides maximum polarization separation distance is presented. Furthermore, a decision-making algorithm is utilized for detection of the received electric field that selects the minimum Euclidian distance between the transmitter and receivers in Stokes space. The scenario is simulated for an N-constellation scheme for N = 2, 3, 4 based on the design scheme utilizing the developed statistical model and decision-making algorithm and is used to evaluate the detectability and performance comparison for various values of standard deviations.

Show moreSound propagation in a waveguide is greatly dependent on the acoustic properties of the boundaries. The effect of these properties can be described by a bottom reflection coefficient RB, and surface reflection coefficient RS. Two methods for estimating reflection coefficients are used in this research. The first, the ratio method, is based on the variations of the Green's function with depth utilizing the ratio of the wavenumber spectra at two depths. The second, the pole method, is based on the wavenumbers of the modal peaks in the spectrum at a particular depth. A method to invert for sound speed and density is also examined. Estimates of RB and RS based on synthetic data by the ratio method were very close to their predicted values, especially for higher frequencies and longer apertures. The pole method returned less precise estimates though with longer apertures, the estimates were better. Using experimental data, results of the pole method as well a geoacoustic inversion technique based on them were mixed. The ratio method was used to estimate RS based on the actual data and returned results close to the predicted phase of p.

Show moreIn shallow water or fluid half-space, the acoustic scattering from a target is significantly different from that of an unbounded medium, due to the multiple reflections occurring between the target and the boundaries. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the influence of the boundaries on the acoustic scattering of a rigid sphere by means of a superposition method. A minimum number of point sources necessary to accurately model the scattered field is determined in the case of a free medium, a fluid half-space and a waveguide. The free field symmetry vanishes due to the presence of boundaries and, at particular frequencies or scatterer depths, a significant change in the magnitude and spatial distribution of the scattered field occur. In an unbounded medium or fluid half space, the superposition method is shown to give similar results to analytical formulations found in the literature, provided enough point sources are used.

Show moreThe research addressed refers to a study on the electromagnetic performance aspects of body-worn radio units operating in the presence of scatterers in close proximity, using analytical, numerical, and experimental methods. The application potentials of such methods include evaluating the integrity of radio units such as cell phones. Consistent with the scope of the study above, considered in this research are specific details on analytical and numerical modeling of the effects of a nearby conducting cylindrical object on the electromagnetic field near a human-model phantom. Calculations are performed using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Considered are various separations of the body wearing the test radio unit from the proximal object and polarization of the incident wave. An anechoic chamber and the test setup used for the measurement of EM field amplitudes near a saline-water phantom are described. Within the anechoic chamber, a small shielded loop is used as a field measurement probe and is positioned near the test phantom. The field probe orientation was in the vertical plane for characterizing the prevailing electromagnetic field intensity. This study indicates that variations in the field amplitude near the phantom occur, which are responsive to phantom rotation and measurement distance from the phantom. The electromagnetic field amplitude decreases rapidly with increasing distance between the probe and the surface of the phantom. The analysis is also extended to examine the electromagnetic field distribution in the gap between a human body phantom model and a nearby conducting cylinder. An appropriate three-dimensional FDTD method is presented and applied to a near-field problem of analyzing the influence of proximal conductive objects on fields near a phantom wearing an RF unit.

The Maximum SNR selection, the Maximum output selection, the Optimal partial decision, and the Majority voting schemes are considered in this analysis. The analysis is not limited to integer values of the Nakagami fading parameter m. Results for the Rayleigh fading channel are obtained and presented as special cases of those of the Nakagami fading model. The symbol error probability when the diversity branches undergo different fading statistics with unequal mean SNR are considered for the Maximum SNR selection scheme. Outage probabilities are also calculated for some of the diversity combining schemes. A comparison of all the four schemes are discussed using the performance curves.

Show moreThis research addresses a specific class of electromagnetic problems concerning the radiation and scattering of high frequency electromagnetic waves at the surfaces of composite materials. With the advent of need-based developments in electromagnetic material technology, a research niche has stemmed to analyze the interaction of electromagnetic energy with different versions of composite materials used mostly as surface materials such as in radar-stealth applications. Mixture-dielectrics, mixture magnetic materials, textured electromagnetic composites with matrix layers of lossy dielectric/magnetic materials, chiralic media, active surface materials etc. are a few emerging candidates of viable composites being considered in the state-of-the-art engineering electromagnetics. Specific to these materials, the analyses pertaining to electromagnetic radiation and scattering problems require a unique, approach vis-a-vis the heterogeneous properties of the composite material surfaces involved. Presently, the proximity of such surfaces is characterized and duly accounted for, by a mutual immittance formulation based on the Monteath's field compensation theorem. Using the relevant theoretical considerations, electromagnetic plane wave and/or focused beam radiation due to an aperture, conducting patch on flat and curved surfaces and scattering by an object coated with a composite material are elucidated. Also, an experimental method of evaluating the surface immittance is indicated. Theoretical computations are validated by comparing the results with those obtained via other methods. Some experimental results are furnished in support of the theoretical approaches presented.

Show moreFor certain wavelength size objects, the frequency range between 100 MHz and 1000 MHz spans a transition region when using low frequency electromagnetic scattering codes based on Method of Moments (MoM) to high frequency codes based on Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) and ray tracing techniques. As the wavelength size of the object increased, MoM codes can require prohibitively long computational times and hence the more approximate high frequency codes become more attractive. The Ohio State Material Wire code (MATWRS) was selected as a representative MoM code for characterizing the transition region. XPATCH was selected as a representative high frequency code with ACAD used as the general modeling program. To evaluate these codes, a comparison of Radar Cross Section (RCS) predictions for simple PEC canonical shapes was made. Comparisons were made to both measured data where available and predictions generated by the McDonnell Douglas Body of Revolution (BOR) code.
