On the adequacy of the far-field conditions for pulsed radiated EM Fields
No full textThe far-field region's bound is investigated in case of the pulsed electromagnetic field radiation. The value predicted by means of "standard," time-harmonic considerations is compared with that following from the ratio between the maximum value of the time-domain, near- and far-field magnetic field strength constituents. The adequacy of these criteria is analyzed in the case of a loop-to-loop transfer scenario. The obtained results are of relevance for close-range, wireless digital transfers and provide a safety margin for ensuring the adequacy of the "standard" far-field region's limit in ultrawideband links
Random sequential rotation : a new technique for sidelobe control of circularly-polarized phased arrays
No full textA new technique is proposed for side-lobe and axial-ratio control of circularly-polarized phased arrays. The technique is a generalization of the well-known sequential-rotation technique using linearly-polarized array elements. Although a regular array grid is used, properties similar to traditional random arrays can be obtained. A clear improvement of the diagonal (D)-plane scan performance is reported
Good Words (Magazine) for 1868
No full textAs Abbey writes, the fable articles here precede and are different from their first appearance in book form a year later. For it was then that Ralston published the first edition of Krilof and His Fables. See my comments on the third (1871) and fourth (1883) editions. The book smells of its many years! The three fable articles are on 39-46, including six illustrations on 40-41; 215-221, including six illustrations on 216-17; and 413-20, including six illustrations on 416-17. These are magazine articles. They comment on Krilof's views and particularly on Russian foibles. Thus one prose text after another is integrated into the article. In the book, there will be, after a preface and a memoir, a simple collection of texts. In fact, the selection of Krilof fables within the article here is excellent, and the author puts them into a good cultural and political context. At least some of the illustrations are the same as those in the third edition.. The texts are close to those found in the published books. It makes sense to see the texts in the magazine here as forerunners of those fable texts there. I presume that Ralston had opportunity to edit and amend between his magazine articles and his book's first edition. The publisher of the magazine is of course the publisher of the third edition that I have. The print is minuscule! I needed a magnifying glass for normal reading. The index just after 774 assigns J.B. Zwecker and A.B. Houghton as illustrators for the eighteen illustrations in the three fable articles. Dalziel, Houghton, and Zwecker are the names I can make out on the illustrations. Dalziel is not mentioned on the title page, but there is reference to others.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Norman MacLeod; W.R.S. Ralston for fable
Algorithm development for scalable processor systems based on transport triggered architectures
No full textTrends in electro-optical communication systems
Full text linkThis paper gives an overview of present status and future trends in Electro-optical communication
systems and networks. Within the architecture of Electro-optical communication networks, three
areas with a different type of research focus can be distinguished: the long haul links, the crossconnects and the access networks to the subscribers
Simple drag prediction strategies for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle’s hull shape
No full textThe range of an AUV is dictated by its finite energy source and minimising the energy consumption is required to maximise its endurance. One option to extend the endurance is by obtaining the optimum hydrodynamic hull shape with balancing the trade-off between computational cost and fluid dynamic fidelity. An AUV hull form has been optimised to obtain low resistance hull. Hydrodynamic optimisation of hull form has been carried out by employing five parametric geometry models with a streamlined constraint. Three Genetic Algorithm optimisation procedures are applied by three simple drag predictions which are based on the potential flow method. The results highlight the effectiveness of considering the proposed hull shape optimisation procedure for the early stage of AUV hull desig
