    Efficient near-field interpolation of mixed-potential Green’s functions in layered media

    No full text
    A higher order regularization of the multilayered mixed-potential Green’s functions, based on enhanced effective- media extractions, is presented. Singularities in the source point, both of the Green’s function and of its derivatives up to the second order, are fully removed. The regular kernel obtained permits the effective implementation of near-field interpolation schemes with application to the solution of electromagnetics problems by the method of moments (MoM)

    Analysis and design of planar periodic leaky‐wave antennas

    No full text
    This chapter focuses on the general properties of planar periodic leaky-wave antennas, and presents an accurate and versatile method for analyzing this class of structures using the method of moments together with a mixed-potential integral equation form of the electric field integral equation. This type of antenna structure consists of a planar periodic metallization on a grounded substrate, and is thus low in profile and simple to fabricate. Depending on the frequency, radiation may occur in either the backward or the forward directions. One important advantage of the proposed method of analysis is that it allows for a complete characterization of the modal propagation on the structure, including all possible propagation and radiation regimes

    Matching techniques for efficient broadside radiation in 1-D periodic printed leaky-wave antennas

    No full text
    Symmetric pi-matching networks are presented for suppressing the open stopband (OSB) and obtaining efficient broadside radiation in one-dimensional (1-D) periodic printed leaky-wave antennas (LWAs). The elimination of the OSB is achieved by matching the Bloch-wave impedance of the structure to a desired (non-zero) value at broadside frequency. Three different matching conditions can be applied. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques are demonstrated with numerical simulation on real structures

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
