CAPES / Comuns em projetos de engenharia elétrica, bobinas solenoidais com núcleo de ar e camada simples de enrolamento podem apresentar frequência de autorressonância por efeitos de onda estacionária. A compreensão e determinação destas frequências é portanto de primordial interesse para os profissionais envolvidos com estes componentes. Neste trabalho é apresentada uma teoria que visa explicar o comportamento deste componentes quando em autorressonância por onda estacionária, sendo também desenvolvida uma equação prática que pode determinar tais valores de frequência. O comportamento da impedância nestes componentes também é discutido e demonstrado, onde, baseado nesta teoria, duas novas configurações são apresentadas: uma bobina com ambos terminais abertos e uma bobina com ambos terminais aterrados. Através de uma abordagem didática, correlaciona-se o enrolamento com um tubo de ar ressonante, e explica-se o que é registrado em termos de impedância e fase em um analisador vetorial de impedâncias ao conectar em seus terminais um enrolamento que apresenta autorressonância por onda estacionária. Uma análise da transferência de energia sem fio em circuitos ressonantes magneticamente acoplados é também apresentada, onde é destacada a relação entre eficiência, transferência relativa de potência e impedância refletida em circuitos com 2 e 4 bobinas. Um sistema de transferência de energia sem fio, utilizando bobinas bifilares abertas, é proposto. O sistema possui algumas vantagens uma vez que, a bobina bifilar aberta, ao contrário de uma bobina convencional, possui uma autorressonância série. Portanto, o sistema se comporta como um circuito contendo indutor e capacitor em série. Ainda, uma vez que o circuito dispensa o uso de capacitores, possibilita-se uma menor dimensão das unidades transmissora e receptora, além de se evitar eventuais danos aos capacitores em aplicações envolvendo maiores potências. / Common in electrical engineering projects, air-core single-layer solenoid coils can present self-resonant frequencies due to stationary waves effects. The comprehension and determination of these frequencies is of primordial interest for the professionals evolved with these components. In this work, a theory that aims to explain these components behavior at standing wave self-resonance is presented, a practical equation that can determine such frequency values is also developed. The impedance behavior in these components is also discussed and demonstrated, where, based in this theory, two new configurations are presented: a coil with both terminals open and a coil with both terminals grounded. Through a didactic approach the coil and a resonant air-pipe are correlated, and it is explained what is registered in terms of impedance and phase on a vector impedance analyzer when a standing wave self-resonant coil is connected on its terminals. An analysis of the wireless energy transfer in magnetically coupled resonant circuits is also presented, being emphasized the relation between efficiency, relative power transfer and reflected impedance in 2 and 4-coils circuits. A wireless power transfer system using open bifilar coils is proposed. The proposed system has the advantages that the open bifilar coil, different from a conventional coil, has a series self-resonance. Thus, the system behaves as a series-inductor capacitor circuit. Also, since the circuit avoids capacitors, it allows a smaller transmitter and receptor units dimensions, besides avoiding eventual damages to capacitors in higher power applications.

Abstract The aims of the present study were to clarify the antenna function and radio frequency radiation (RFR) sensitivity of human subjects using theoretical calculations and field tests. The weak very high frequency (VHF) electromagnetic fields and spontaneous hand movements were recorded. Groups of university students, other volunteers and as a very interesting group, experienced well finders, were used as test subjects. The VHF field was studied using a spectrum analyser and tuneable narrow-band or broad-band meter with a dipole antenna. The hand movements were registered by potentiometric systems and electromyography (EMG). The test subjects (altogether n = 140) in different tests were walking, sitting in a cart being pulled slowly forward, or sitting in a moving car. The responses were observed and hand movements were recorded and analysed by personal computers. By visual inspection and using the Pearson's correlation, the results of different individuals have been compared with the measured intensity of far fields of a radio mast. Reaction spots and graphs defined by different individuals in the same experiment areas have been compared to each other. Hand movement correlated with the reactions of the forearm and shoulder muscles, e.g., pronator teres and trapezius, by EMG measurements. The reactions of some persons correlated with each other. Experiments in a slow moving wagon and in a moving car showed a correlation between the test subjects’ hand movements and the intensity of below 1 mV/m radio and TV signals measured in the vicinity of the test subject. In open field tests different persons usually reacted in widely different ways. The most evident results were recorded near the buildings, where the radio waves reflected from the wall and patterns of standing waves were clear. Many VHF frequency modulated (FM) broadcasting signals were summed at these places at the same time. It is concluded that the spontaneous hand movement reactions occurred as a response of the human body to the gradients of the VHF field intensity. The reaction generally occurred in interference patterns of multipath propagation or standing waves originating from the radiation of FM radio and TV broadcasting transmitters and radiation reflected from the walls of buildings or from other objects. This non-thermal reaction was clearly observable as spontaneous arm movements by 39 percent of the 85 tested students. / Tiivistelmä Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin ihmisen herkkyyttä radiotaajuiselle säteilylle. Ihmisen toimimista radioaaltojen antennina tarkasteltiin teoreettisesti ja kenttäkokein. Heikkojen VHF-alueen radioaaltojen voimakkuutta ja tahattomia käsien liikkeitä rekisteröitiin valituilla koepoluilla. Koehenkilöinä on ollut yliopiston opiskelijoita ja muita vapaaehtoisten ryhmiä. Kiinnostavin ryhmä oli kokeneet kaivonkatsojat, joiden käsienliikereaktioihin radioaaltojen vaikutuksista löytyy viitteitä kirjallisuudesta. Radioaaltojen voimakkuuden vaihteluja mitattiin spektrianalysaattorilla ja laajakaistaisella VHF-alueen integroivalla mittarilla. Käsien liikkeitä rekisteröitiin potentiometriin perustuvilla liikeantureilla. Lihasten sähköimpulsseja rekisteröitiin elektromyografia- eli EMG-laitteella. Eri koesarjoissa koehenkilöt (yhteensä 140) kävelivät, istuivat hitaasti vedettävässä vaunussa tai istuivat liikkuvassa autossa. Reaktioita tarkkailtiin ja käsien liikkeet ja mitatut kentänvoimakkuudet rekisteröitiin ja analysoitiin tietokoneella. Eri koehenkilöiden tuloksia, reagointipaikkoja ja rekisteröityjä käyriä 5–35 km:n etäisyydellä mastoista tarkasteltiin silmämääräisesti. Pearsonin korrelaatiolaskentaa apuna käyttäen tuloksia verrattiin radiomastojen säteilyn voimakkuuteen. Eri ihmisten reagointikohtia ja käyriä samoilta koealueilta vertailtiin keskenään. Koeasetelmassa käsienliikkeiden todettiin korreloivan joidenkin kyynärvarren ja hartialihasten (mm. pronator teres ja trapezius) EMG-signaaleihin. Joidenkin koehenkilöiden tulokset korreloivat keskenään. Hitaasti vedettävässä vaunussa ja liikkuvassa autossa tehdyissä kokeissa tuli esille korrelaatio vartalon edessä olevien käsien loittonemis-lähestymis-liikkeiden ja koehenkilön välittömässä läheisyydessä mitattujen 1 mV/m -tasoisten radio- ja TV-signaalien voimakkuusvaihtelujen välillä. Avoimella kentällä henkilöt reagoivat hyvin eri tavoin. Parhaiten yhteys tuli esille rakennusten lähellä sijaitsevilla koealueilla, joissa radioaallot heijastuivat rakennuksen seinästä muodostaen selkeitä seisovan aallon kuvioita. Useat taajuusmoduloidut VHF-alueen radiosignaalit summautuivat näissä paikoissa samanaikaisesti. Johtopäätöksenä on, että tahattomat käsienliikkeet tapahtuvat kehon vasteena VHF-kentän voimakkuuden muutoksille. Reaktio tapahtui yleensä interferenssi-kuvioissa tai seisovissa aalloissa, jotka muodostuvat FM-radio- ja TV-lähetysten monitie-etenemisestä radioaaltojen heijastuessa rakennusten seinistä tai muista kohteista. Tämä ei-lämpövaikutustason reaktio oli selvästi havaittavissa olkapään tasalle koukistetun käden tahattomana ojennus-koukistus-liikkeenä 39 prosentilla testatuista 85 opiskelijasta.

La qualité des interfaces dans les multicouches périodiques est essentielle au développement de miroirs réfléchissant efficacement dans les domaines des rayons X et extrême ultraviolet (X-EUV). De manière générale, la structure des interfaces dépend des possibles interdiffusion et processus chimiques aux interfaces entre couches. L'idée principale de cette thèse est d'appliquer la technique des ondes stationnaires dans le domaine X à la caractérisation de matériaux, principalement mais non exclusivement aux multicouches périodiques. Cette méthode est basée sur l'interférence de deux faisceaux de rayons X cohérents. L'interférence constructive sur un plan anti-nodal amplifie le champ électrique tandis que l'interférence destructive minimise ce dernier sur un plan nodal. Cette technique des ondes stationnaires dans le domaine X permet l'excitation (photoémission, fluorescence, ...) d'endroits spécifiques dans un empilement périodique de matériaux. De cette manière, les spectres expérimentaux ainsi obtenus sont principalement les spectres caractéristiques des atomes situés sur un plan anti-nodal. Combinée avec d'autres techniques expérimentales telles que la spectroscopie d'émission X (XES) ou la spectroscopie de photoélectrons dans le domaine X (XPS), une information sélective en profondeur, avec une sensibilité sub-nanométrique, peut être obtenue. / The interfacial information of periodic multilayers can be crucial for the development of reflecting mirrors which operate in the X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (X-EUV) ranges. Such information may contain the interdiffusion and chemical process at the interfaces of the layers. The idea of this thesis is to apply the X-ray standing wave technique to the characterization of materials, mainly but not limited to the periodic multilayers. X-ray standing wave technique enables to enhance the excitation (photoemission, fluorescence etc.) of specific locations within a periodic stack. The nature of such advantage is the interference of two coherent X-ray beams. One may compare the X-ray standing waves with the mechanical standing waves. The constructive interference at the anti-nodal plane amplifies the electric field; while the destructive interference at the nodal plane minimizes the electric field. In this way, the experimental spectra obtained under standing wave field will be mostly the material located on the anti-nodal plane. Combined with other techniques such as X-ray emission spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, a depth-selective information with a sub-nanoscale sensitivity can be obtained.

This master's thesis deals with design and implementation of modular system for two-way loudspeaker system's characteristics. Work focus mainly on the enclosure geometry and speaker placement. The individual modules of the system were designed and then implemented. Furthermore, the characteristics of these modules were measured and laboratory tasks using these modules were elaborated.

Three-dimensional particle tracking is a valuable tool in microfluidics for obtaining information about a system. General Defocus Particle Tracking (GDPT) is a straightforward method of 3D particle tracking that only requires a single-camera plane, making it applicable to existing equipment in a laboratory.  This project's aim was to evaluate the open-source module DefocusTracker which uses GDPT. DefocusTracker was used to track particles that were levitated in a microchip using ultrasonic standing waves.  The effects of different calibration methods used and the evaluation of the acoustic energy density over an active part of a piezo on an microchip device were investigated. Different procedures to generate a depth model from the calibration images showed that the choice of step length affects the accuracy of the depth model. A depth model created from the middle part of the field of view provides more accurate results compared to one made from the edge. Levitation experiments demonstrate that higher applied voltages result in a stronger acoustic energy density field over the field of view. The acoustic energy density field and pressure amplitude field show variations across the active piezo on the device, potentially due to a non-uniform thickness of the fluid layer and variations in energy delivery from the piezo. Overall, GDPT proves to be a useful method for evaluating unknown aspects of a microfluidic system under the influence of ultrasonic standing waves. / Tredimensionell partikelspårning är ett värdefullt verktyg inom mikrofluidik för att få ut information om ett system. Generell ur-fokus partikel spårning (GDPT) är en okomplicerad metod för 3D-partikelspårning som endast kräver ett plan med en kamera. Detta gör den tillämpningsbar på befintliga utrustningar i ett laboratorium.  Syftet med detta projekt var att utvärdera den öppna modulen DefocusTracker som använder sig av GDPT. DefocusTracker användes för att spåra partiklar som leviterades i ett mikrochip med hjälp av stående ultraljudsvågor.  Effekterna av olika kalibreringsmetoder och utvärderingen av den akustiska energitätheten över en aktiv del av en piezo på ett mikrochip undersöktes. Olika metoder för att generera en djup modell från kalibreringsbilderna visade att valet av steglängd påverkar djup modellens noggrannhet. En djup modell som skapats från mitten av synfältet ger mer användbara resultat jämfört med en som skapats från kanten. Levitationsexperiment visar att högre använda spänningar resulterar i ett starkare akustiskt energitäthetsfält över synfältet. Fältet för den akustiska energitätheten och tryckamplituden visar variationer över den aktiva piezon på enheten, vilket kan bero på en ojämn tjocklek på vätskelagret och variationer i energitillförseln från piezon.  Allmänt visar sig GDPT vara en användbar metod för att utvärdera okända aspekter av ett mikrofluidiskt system under påverkan av stående ultraljudsvågor.

Dans cette thèse, nous étudions l’existence, non existence et multiplicité des ondes stationnairesavec les normes prescrites pour deux types d’équations aux dérivées partiellesnon linéaires elliptiques découlant de différents modèles physiques. La stabilité orbitale desondes stationnaires est également étudiée dans certains cas. Les principales méthodes denos preuves sont des arguments variationnels. Les solutions sont obtenues comme pointscritiques de fonctionnelle associée sur une contrainte.La thèse se compose de sept chapitres. Le Chapitre 1 est l’introduction de la thèse. Dansles Chapitres 2 à 4, nous étudions une classe d’équations de Schrödinger-Poisson-Slaternon linéaires. Nous établissons dans le Chapitre 2 des résultats optimaux non existencede solutions d’énergie minimale ayant une norme L2 prescrite. Dans le Chapitre 3, nousmontrons un résultat d’existence de solutions L2 normalisées, dans une cas où la fonctionnelleassociée n’est pas bornée inférieurement sur la contrainte. Nos solutions sonttrouvées comme des points de selle de la fonctionnelle, mais ils correspondent à des solutionsd’énergée minimale. Nous montrons également que les ondes stationnaires associéessont orbitalement instables. Ici, puisque nos points critiques présumés ne sont pas desminimiseurs globaux, il n’est pas possible d’utiliser de façon systématique les méthodesde compacité par concentration développées par P. L. Lions. Ensuite, dans le Chapitre4, nous montrons que sous les hypothèses du Chapitre 3, il existe une infinité de solutionsayant une norme L2 prescrite. Dans les deux chapitres suivants, nous étudions uneclasse d’équations de Schrödinger quasi-linéaires. Des résultats optimaux non existence desolutions d’énergie minimale sont donnés dans le Chapitre 5. Dans le Chapitre 6, nousprouvons l’existence de deux solutions positives ayant une norme donnée. L’une d’elles,relativement à la contrainte L2, est de type point selle. L’autre est un minimum, soit localou global. Le fait que la fonctionnelle naturelle associée à cette équation n’est pas biendéfinie nécessite l’utilisation d’une méthode de perturbation pour obtenir ces deux pointscritiques. Enfin, au Chapitre 7, nous mentionnons quelques questions que cette thèse asoulevées. / In this thesis, we study the existence, non-existence and multiplicity of standing waves withprescribed norms for two types of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations arisingfrom various physical models. The orbital stability of the standing waves is also discussedin some cases. The main ingredients of our proofs are variational arguments. The solutionsare found as critical points of an associated functional on a constraint.The thesis consists of seven chapters. Chapter 1 is the Introduction of the thesis.In Chapters 2 to 4, we study a class of nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson-Slater equations.We establish in Chapter 2 sharp non-existence results of least energy solutions having aprescribed L2-norm. In Chapter 3 we prove an existence result for L2-normalized solutions,in a situation where the associated functional is unbounded from below on the constraint.Our solutions are found as saddle points of the functional but they correspond to leastenergy solutions. We also prove that the associated standing waves are orbitally unstable.Here a key feature is that, since our suspected critical points are not global minimizers, itis not possible to use in a standard way the machinery of compactness by concentrationdeveloped by P. L. Lions. Then, in Chapter 4, we prove that under the assumptions ofChapter 3, there do exist infinitely many solutions having a prescribed L2-norm. In thefollowing two chapters, we investigate a class of quasi-linear Schrödinger equations. Sharpnon-existence results of least energy solutions are given in Chapter 5. In Chapter 6 weprove the existence of two positive solutions having a given norm. One of them, is relativeto the L2-norm constraint, of saddle point type. The other one is a minimum, either localor global. The fact that the natural functional associated with this equation is not welldefined requires the use of a perturbation approach to obtain these two critical points.Finally, in Chapter 7 we mention some questions that this thesis has raised.

The development of techniques targeting the manipulation of particles of different<p>sizes - mostly in the nano to millimeter scale - when dispersed in a carrier medium, is an increasingly important topic in many fields such as biotechnology,nanotechnology, medicine, biophysics and environmental monitoring and remediation. The underlying rationale for using such techniques stands in the sometimes compelling requirements of avoiding clogging as in micro/nano channel flows, of limiting sedimentation and wall interactions in particle/cell counting, of enhancing particle-surface interaction as in bio-sensing or of facilitating characterization and sorting as in bio-physical applications. Being developed in the frame of a Belgian national project devoted to the characterization and counting of pollutant in water media by digital holographic microscopy, this thesis tackles a peculiar class of particle manipulation techniques, commonly known as Focusing. The main goal of focusing is to avoid at best wall particle interactions and sedimentation, prevalent issues for dispersions owing in micro/mini-channels especially for applications such as optical characterization and counting.<p><p>The main attention was given to two flow focusing techniques - Hydrodynamic and Acoustic Focusing - for their wide range applicability and cost effectiveness. Hydrodynamic Focusing consists in controlling the position and spreading of the sample under investigation by means of a so-called sheath flow. A low-cost, nevertheless effective, prototype has been conceived, designed, manufactured and tested. It allowed for controlling the spreading of the sample stream and achieving a focusing ratio accounting for only 4% of the original stream width.<p><p>Acoustic Focusing takes advantage of the time-averaged pressure fields induced by the creation of standing waves in channels to manipulate and focus the dispersed particles. In the frame of this thesis, several devices have been developed using square cross section glass mini-channels. Aside from the cost-effectiveness, particles where focused in a somehow unexpected but high reproducible 3D matrix-like structure. A novel numerical model has also been implemented in order to study the conditions leading to the 3D structure formation. A good agreement between experimental and numerical results was found./Ce projet de thèse portant sur la manipulation de micro-particules dans des minicanaux s'inscrit dans le développement de cellules de flux pour des applications biologiques, qui est l'une des problématiques du projet HOLOFLOW, soutenu par<p>la région de Bruxelles Capitale.

[ES] El propósito de la presente tesis es desarrollar una herramienta informática para la predicción del efecto multipactor tanto en líneas de transmisión coaxiales como en guías circulares. Esta herramienta está pensada para ser complementaria de las de diseño asistido por ordenador Computer-Aided Design (CAD) en el caso de dispositivos de comunicaciones a implementar en estas tecnologías de ondas guiadas. En el caso de guías coaxiales, se desarrollará un modelo numérico para la predicción de los umbrales de potencia del fenómeno de multipactor. Este método ha sido validado con medidas experimentales, así como validado con otros estudios teóricos realizados. En este tipo de guía se ha considerado tres tipos de señal de radio frecuencia (RF), la onda incidente, la onda estacionaria pura y las ondas estacionarias en general (combinación de ondas incidente y reflejada de distintas amplitudes). Así pues, se ha analizado y obtenido los umbrales de potencia para cada una de las diferentes señales consideradas y observado los efectos que se producen. En las guías circulares, se ha demostrado en primer lugar la existencia del fenómeno de multipactor bajo la excitación del modo fundamental de la guía circular TE11. El interés en estas guías se debe al amplio uso en la fabricación de componentes pasivos, tanto en cavidades resonantes como el uso de irises que conectan las cavidades, empleados tanto en aceleradores de partículas como en diferentes subsistemas de comunicaciones en satélites. Por tanto, además de observar la existencia del efecto multipactor hemos calculado una carta de susceptibilidad para dicho fenómeno, inicialmente en el caso de que sólo se transmita una única polarización, en concreto la polarización vertical. Una vez hemos demostrado que el efecto multipactor es posible en estas guías circulares, se ha realizado un estudio teniendo en consideración la coexistencia de las dos polarizaciones del modo fundamental TE11. Para una mejor comprensión del fenómeno, se ha analizado inicialmente para órdenes de multipactor más bajos en función de la excentricidad de la elipse de polarización. Prestando especial atención para el caso de la polarización lineal y circular, aunque también se ha analizado otras combinaciones más generales. / [CA] El propòsit de la present tesi és desenvolupar una eina informàtica per a la predicció de l'efecte multipactor tant en línies de transmissió coaxials com en guies circulars. Aquesta eina està pensada per a ser complementària de les de disseny assistit per ordinador Computer- Aided Design (CAD) en el cas de dispositius de comunicacions a implementar en aquestes tecnologies d'ones guiades. En el cas de guies coaxials, es desenvoluparà un model numèric per a la predicció dels llindars de potència del fenomen de multipactor. Aquest mètode ha sigut validat amb mesures experimentals, així com validat amb altres estudis teòrics realitzats. En aquesta mena de guia s'ha considerat tres tipus de senyal de ràdio freqüència (RF), l'ona incident, l'ona estacionària pura i les ones estacionàries en general (combinació d'ones incident i reflectida de diferents amplituds). Així doncs, s'ha analitzat i obtingut els llindars de potència per a cadascuna dels diferents senyals considerats i observat els efectes que es produeixen. En les guies circulars, s'ha demostrat en primer lloc l'existència del fenomen de multipactor sota l'excitació de la manera fonamental de la guia circular TE11. L'interés en aquestes guies es deu a l'ampli ús en la fabricació de components passius, tant en cavitats ressonants com l'ús d'irises que connecten les cavitats, emprats tant en acceleradors de partícules com en diferents subsistemes de comunicacions en satèllits. Per tant, a més d'observar l'existència de l'efecte multipactor hem calculat una carta de susceptibilitat per a aquest fenomen, inicialment en el cas que només es transmeta una única polarització, en concret la polarització vertical. Una vegada hem demostrat que l'efecte multipactor és possible en aquestes guies circulars, s'ha realitzat un estudi tenint en consideració la coexistència de les dues polaritzacions de la manera fonamental TE11. Per a una millor comprensió del fenomen, s'ha analitzat inicialment per a ordres de multipactor més baixos en funció de l'excentricitat de l'ellipse de polarització. Prestant especial atenció per al cas de la polarització lineal i circular, encara que també s'ha analitzat altres combinacions més generals. / [EN] The main goal of this PhD thesis is to develop a computer tool for the prediction of the multipactor effect, both in coaxial transmission lines and in circular guides. This tool is intended to be complementary to the available Computer-Aided Design (CAD) versions, in particular for the case of communication devices to be implemented in the cited guided wave technologies. In the case of coaxial guides, a numerical model is developed to predict the power thresholds of the multipactor phenomenon. This method has been validated with experimental measurements, as well as with other theoretical studies carried out. In this type of guide, three types of radio frequency (RF) signals have been considered, i.e. the incident wave, the pure standing wave and the standing waves in general (a combination of incident and reflected waves of different amplitudes). Thus, the power thresholds for each of the different signals considered have been analyzed and obtained, and the corresponding effects that occur have been observed. In circular guides, the existence of the multipactor phenomenon under the excitation of the TE11 fundamental mode of the circular guide has been demonstrated first. The interest in these guides is due to their wide use in the manufacture of passive components, both in resonant cavities and within irises that connect the cavities, used both in particle accelerators and in different satellite communications subsystems. Therefore, in addition to observing the existence of the multipactor effect, we have calculated a susceptibility chart for this phenomenon, initially in the case that only a single polarization is transmitted, specifically the vertical polarization. Once we have shown that the multipactor effect is possible in these circular guides, a study has been carried out taking into account the co-existence of the two polarizations of the TE11 fundamental mode. For a better understanding of the phenomenon, it has been initially analyzed for lower multipactor orders as a function of the eccentricity of the polarization ellipse. Special attention has been paid to the case of linear and circular polarization, although other more general combinations have also been analyzed. / This work was supported in part by Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia, Spanish Government, under the coordinated Research Project TEC 2007/67630-C03-01 and in part by Generalitat Valenciana (Spain) under Projects IIARC0/2004/20, IIARC0/2004/21 and IIARC0/2004/22.
