Techniques for pattern control of a dielectric rod antenna suitable for use in mobile communications

Cox, Gavin J. January 2002 (has links)
This thesis describes the development of antennas suitable for mobile coinmunication systems based on a dielectric rod antenna fed from circular waveguide. Pattern control of the antenna is implemented using a combination of Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) elements and metallic endcaps placed on the antenna Both linear and circular polarised feeds have been made for these antennas to ensure they are suitable for a wide range of applications. The suitability of the dominant and next, higher order, waveguide mode were investigated and conclusions drawn as to their suitability for this type of antenna. The antennas were extensively modelled using a commercial TLM based solver and the results of these simulations were compared to the comprehensive set of antenna pattern measurements and S-parameter measurements obtained for the prototype antennas.

Modélisation Multi-échelles : de l'Electromagnétisme à la Grille / Multi-scale Modeling : from Electromagnetism to Grid

Khalil, Fadi 14 December 2009 (has links)
Les performances des outils numériques de simulation électromagnétique de structures complexes, i.e., échelles multiples, sont souvent limitées par les ressources informatiques disponibles. De nombreux méso-centres, fermes et grilles de calcul, se créent actuellement sur les campus universitaires. Utilisant ces ressources informatiques mutualisées, ce travail de thèse s'attache à évaluer les potentialités du concept de grille de calcul (Grid Computing) pour la simulation électromagnétique de structures multi-échelles. Les outils numériques de simulation électromagnétique n'étant pas conçus pour être utilisés dans un environnement distribué, la première étape consistait donc à les modifier afin de les déployer sur une grille de calcul. Une analyse approfondie a ensuite été menée pour évaluer les performances des outils de simulation ainsi déployés sur l'infrastructure informatique. Des nouvelles approches pour le calcul électromagnétique distribué avec ces outils sont présentées et validées. En particulier, ces approches permettent la réalisation de simulation électromagnétique de structures à échelles multiples en un temps record et avec une souplesse d'utilisation. / The numerical electromagnetic tools for complex structures simulation, i.e. multi-scale, are often limited by available computation resources. Nowadays, Grid computing has emerged as an important new field, based on shared distributed computing resources of Universities and laboratories. Using these shared resources, this study is focusing on grid computing potential for electromagnetic simulation of multi-scale structure. Since the numerical simulations tools codes are not initially written for distributed environment, the first step consists to adapt and deploy them in Grid computing environment. A performance study is then realized in order to evaluate the efficiency of execution on the test-bed infrastructure. New approaches for distributing the electromagnetic computations on the grid are presented and validated. These approaches allow a very remarkable simulation time reduction for multi-scale structures and friendly-user interfaces
