Comments on "A different perspective on taper efficiency for array antennas"
Demir, S (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-03-01)
For original paper, see Holzman (IEEE Trans. Antennas Propag., vol. 51, no.10, p.2963-7, 2003). The present author suggests that the equation given for taper efficiency in the paper by Holzman is misleading and discusses this point.
Multipath Characteristics of Frequency Diverse Arrays Over a Ground Plane
Cetintepe, Cagri; Demir, Şimşek (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-07-01)
This paper presents a theoretical framework for an analytical investigation of multipath characteristics of frequency diverse arrays (FDAs), a task which is attempted for the first time in the open literature. In particular, transmitted field expressions are formulated for an FDA over a perfectly conducting ground plane first in a general analytical form, and these expressions are later simplified under reasonable assumptions. Developed formulation is then applied to a uniform, linear, continuous-wave opera...
Iterative leap-field domain decomposition method: a domain decomposition finite element algorithm for 3D electromagnetic boundary value problems
Ozgun, O.; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2010-04-01)
The authors introduce the iterative leap-field domain decomposition method that is tailored to the finite element method, by combining the concept of domain decomposition and the Huygens' Principle. In this method, a large-scale electromagnetic boundary value problem is partitioned into a number of suitably-defined 'small' and manageable subproblems whose solutions are assembled to obtain the global solution. The main idea of the method is the iterative application of the Huygens' Principle to the fields ra...
Clarification of issues on the closed-form Green's functions in stratified media
Aksun, MI; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-11-01)
The closed-form Green's functions (CFGF), derived for the vector and scalar potentials in planar multilayer media, have been revisited to clarify some issues and misunderstandings on the derivation of these Green's functions. In addition, the range of validity of these Green's functions is assessed with and without explicit evaluation of the surface wave contributions. As it is well-known, the derivation of the CFGF begins with the approximation of the spectral-domain Green's functions by complex exponentia...
Direction finding accuracy of sequential lobing under target amplitude fluctuations
Candan, Çağatay (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2015-01-01)
Using recently developed statistical target fluctuation models, the accuracy of sequential lobing is analytically studied. The study shows that the sequential lobing method suffers from a significant performance loss, in comparison with the monopulse method, for the Rayleigh fluctuation model. For other fluctuation models, the performance loss gradually decreases as the amplitude spread associated with the fluctuation gets smaller. The present study aims to analytically quantify the mentioned accuracy loss ...
