No / The bandwidth of a microstrip patch antenna is expressed in terms of minimum achievable reflection coefficient using an equivalent circuit and the Bode-Fano theory. The bandwidth-reflection coefficient product is found to be proportional to antenna height and largely independent of feed probe position, for small bandwidths. The product can be computed directly from a numerical evaluation of the first-order Bode-Fano integral. Curves are presented showing how the product becomes limited by the feed probe inductance at very large bandwidths. It is concluded that this effect is unlikely to be a limit on the potential bandwidth of a practical patch antenna. If as a minimal correction the feed inductance is tuned out, the realized bandwidth with low order matching or optimal over-coupling shows the expected relationship to the theoretical limit.

Yes / A new approach of modelling the electromagnetic wave propagation and the penetration of small objects, are investigated and analysed. The travelling electromagnetic wave from source is simulated by time-dependent Maxwell's solutions. Subgridding technique is imposed at the point of interest for observing the electromagnetic field in high resolution. The computational burden caused by a large number of time steps has been parried by implementing the state of art of quasi-static approach. The induced electromagnetic fields near a buried pipeline runs parallel to a 400 kV power transmission lines are presented, and discussed.

Theoretical and experimental plasmonics is a growing field as a method to create near fields at sub-wavelength distances. In this thesis, a finite-difference time-domain method is used to simulate electromagnetic waves onto a thin film that present of nickel nanorods with sharp apexes. The absorbed, transmitted, and reflected fields were shown to depend linearly on silver film thickness and nanotip length. The electric field is visualized along the tip to show strong charge density along the base of the tip’s apex and how that density changes for wavelength, metal, and source tilt. Lastly, the study shows gold film on the nanotip apex provides the largest enhancement of the electric field for the wavelengths 532, 572, and 633 nm.

Electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of SiC-based and alumina ceramic woven fabrics have been investigated. Electrical conductivities of SiC-based ceramic woven fabrics were modified by heat treatment in air resulting in their oxidation. Surface properties of alumina woven fabrics were altered by gold-sputtering resulting in a high conductivity layer on the surface of the wovens. Electromagnetic wave interactions of single layer and double layered combinations of these ceramic woven fabrics were determined in 17-40 GHz frequency range using &ldquo / free-space&rdquo / method. Electromagnetic wave absorption potential of ceramic woven fabrics with different chemical compositions and woven types were correlated with their material properties by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and electrical conductivity measurements. Effects of modifications and varying woven fabric arrangements in combinations on the electromagnetic wave absorption potential of the ceramic woven fabrics have been discussed. Various double layer combinations of SiC-based and alumina woven fabrics revealed a promising potential in terms of both reduced reflection and transmission resulting in more than ~95% absorption in millimeter wavelength range, which makes them powerful candidate materials for electromagnetic wave absorption applications.

This dissertation presents new methods for detecting dynamic and thermodynamic characteristics of Arctic sea ice using radar remote sensing. A new technique for sea ice motion detection from sequential satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images was developed and thoroughly validated. The accuracy of the system is 0.43 km obtained from a comparison between SAR-derived ice motion vectors and in-situ sea ice beacon trajectories. For the first time, we evaluated ice motion tracking results derived from co-polarization (HH) and cross-polarization (HV) channels of RADARSAT-2 ScanSAR imagery and formulated a condition where the HV channel is more reliable than the HH channel for ice motion tracking. Sea ice motion is substantially controlled by surface winds. Two new models for ocean surface wind speed retrieval from C-band SAR data have been developed and validated based on a large body of statistics on buoy observations collocated and coincided with RADARSAT-1 and -2 ScanSAR images. The proposed models without wind direction input demonstrated a better accuracy than conventionally used algorithms. As a combination of the developed methods we designed a wind speed-ice motion product which can be a useful tool for studying sea ice dynamics processes in the marginal ice zone. To effectively asses the thermodynamic properties of sea ice advanced tools for modeling electromagnetic (EM) wave scattering from rough natural surfaces are required. In this dissertation we present a new analytical formulation for EM wave scattering from rough boundaries interfacing inhomogeneous media based on the first-order approximation of the small perturbation method. Available solutions in the literature represent special cases of our general solution. The developed scattering theory was applied to experimental data collected at three stations (with different snow thicknesses) in the Beaufort Sea from the research icebreaker Amundsen during the Circumpolar Flaw Lead system study. Good agreement between the model and experimental data were observed for all three case studies. Both model and experimental radar backscatter coefficients were considerably higher for thin snow cover (4 cm) compared to the thick snow cover case (16 cm). Our findings suggest that, winter snow thickness retrieval may be possible from radar observations under particular scattering conditions.

Ground-based weather radars provide information on the temporal evolution and the spatial distribution of precipitation on a macroscopic scale over a large area. However, the echoes measured by weather radars are always a superposition of forward and backward scattering effects which complicates their interpretation. The use of polarisation diversity enhances the number of independent observables measured simultaneously. This allows an effective separation of forward and backward scattering effects. Furthermore, it extends the capability of weather radars to retrieve also microphysical information about the precipitation. The dissertation at hand introduces new aspects in the field of polarimetric, ground-based, monostatic weather radars at S-, C-, and X-band. Relations are provided to change the polarisation basis of reflectivities. A fully polarimetric weather radar measurement at circular polarisation basis is analysed. Methods to check operationally the polarimetric calibration of weather radars operating at circular polarisation basis are introduced. Moreover, attenuation correction methods for weather radar measurements at linear horizontal / vertical polarisation basis are compared to each other, and the robustly working methods are identified. / Bodengebundene Wetterradare bieten Informationen über die zeitliche Entwicklung und die räumliche Verteilung von Niederschlag in einer makroskopischen Skala über eine große Fläche. Die Interpretation der Wetterradarechos wird erschwert, da sie sich aus einer Überlagerung von Vorwärts- und Rückwärtsstreueffekten ergeben. Die Anzahl der unabhängigen Wetterradarmessgrößen kann durch den Einsatz von Polarisationsdiversität erhöht werden. Dies ermöglicht eine effektive Trennung von Vorwärts- und Rückwärtsstreueffekten. Desweiteren erlaubt es die Bestimmung von mikrophysikalischen Niederschlagsparametern. Die vorliegende Dissertation betrachtet neue Aspekte für polarimetrische, bodengebundene, monostatische Wetterradare im S-, C- und X-Band. Gleichungen zur Polarisationsbasistransformation von Reflektivitätsmessungen werden eingeführt. Eine vollpolarimetrische Wetterradarmessung in zirkularer Polarisationsbasis wird analysiert. Neue Methoden, die eine Überprüfung der polarimetrischen Kalibrierung von Wetterradarmessungen in zirkularer Polarisationsbasis erlauben, werden betrachtet. Weiterhin werden Methoden zur Dämpfungskorrektur von Wetterradarmessungen in linearer horizontaler / vertikaler Polarisationsbasis miteinander verglichen und Empfehlungen von zuverlässigen Methoden gegeben.

Apresentamos operadores de altas ordens derivativas que viola a invariância de Lorentz, seguindo a abordagem de Myers-Pospelov para descrição de ondas gravitacionais massivas e eletromagnéticas. Calculamos as equações de movimento desses modelos, suas relações de dispersão e as velocidades. Os parâmetros que controlam a violação no setor gravitacional Ƹg e eletromagnético Ƹy, são obtidos por duas abordagens diferentes: o atraso temporal e diferença de velocidades dos fótons e grávitons. Estes parâmetros dependem das suas respectivas escalas de massa pela qual os efeitos da violação de Lorentz se tornam relevantes, setor eletromagnético dado por M e o setor gravitacional dado M1. A razão entre os parâmetros Ƹg e Ƹy é de interesse do ponto de vista fenomenológicos e M ˃ M1. Determinamos também a diferença entre as velocidades dos fótons e grávitons, e como resultado, obtemos compatível com os resultados apresentados anteriormente na literatura. / In this work,we compute some phenomenological bounds for the electromagnetic and massive gravitational high-derivative extensions supposing that it is possible to have an astrophysical process that generates simultaneously gravitational and electromagnetic waves. We present a Lorentz-violating LIV higher-order derivative, following the Myers- Pospelov approach, to electro dynamics and massive gravitation alwaves. We compute the corrected equation of motion of these models, their dispersion relations and the velocities. The LIV parameters for the gravitational Ƹg and electromagnetic sector Ƹy respectively were also obtained for two different approaches time delay of lightand the difference of graviton and photon velocities. These LIV parameters depend on the masss cales where the LIV-terms be come relevant, M for the electromagnetic sectorand M1 for the gravitational one. The relation between the parameters Ƹg and Ƹy is of interest from the phenomenological point of view if M ˃ M1. We determine the diference betweent heve-locities of the photon and the graviton was calculated and our result, v􀀀�vg .0:62 10􀀀�17, is compatible with the results already presented in the literature.
