In the analysis of dispersion characteristics of microstrip lines, spectral domain approaches has been preferred as opposed to the spatial domain calculations since the spatial domain Green's functions corresponding to the microstrip structure require the numerical evaluation of inverse Fourier transform integrals which are computationally expensive. However as demonstrated in Bernal, J. et al, (2000), the discrete complex image representation of the spatial domain Greenpsilas functions eliminates the need for the evaluation of numerical integrals and renders the spatial domain method to be more efficient compared to the spectral domain approach. When the discrete complex image method (DCIM) is used, the matrix entries of the eigenvalue problem involve double integrations in the spatial domain. One of them is the convolution integral with the basis function, the other one is the inner product integral with the testing function to impose the boundary conditions. In case a Galerkin approach with basis functions satisfying the edge conditions on the conducting strips is preferred as in Bernal, J. et al, (2000), these integrals need to be evaluated numerically. However, if a non-Galerkin approach with pulse type testing functions is adopted, one of the integrals could be evaluated analytically and a single numerical integration is required. In this paper, the non-Galerkin method is utilized and the accuracy of the method is demonstrated by comparing the results of dispersion characteristics to the ones found in the literature.

A new anisotropic perfectly matched layer medium for mesh truncation in finite difference time domain analysis Tong, MS; Chen, YC; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Mittra, R (1999-09-01) In this paper an unsplit anisotropic perfectly matched layer (PML) medium, previously utilized in the context of finite element analysis, is implemented in the finite difference time domain (FDTD) algorithm. The FDTD anisotropic PML is easy to implement in the existing FDTD codes, and is well suited for truncating inhomogeneous and layered media without special treatment required in the conventional PML approach. A further advantage of the present approach is improved performance at lower frequencies. The a...
A Novel Approach for the Efficient Computation of 1-D and 2-D Summations Karabulut, E. Pinar; ERTÜRK, VAKUR BEHÇET; Alatan, Lale; Karan, S.; Alisan, Burak; Aksun, M. I. (2016-03-01) A novel computational method is proposed to evaluate 1-D and 2-D summations and integrals which are relatively difficult to compute numerically. The method is based on applying a subspace algorithm to the samples of partial sums and approximating them in terms of complex exponentials. For a convergent summation, the residue of the exponential term with zero complex pole of this approximation corresponds to the result of the summation. Since the procedure requires the evaluation of relatively small number of...
An Efficient Numerical Approach for Evaluating Sommerfeld Integrals Arising in the Construction of Green's Functions for Layered Media Özgün, Özlem; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2022-01-01) This paper presents an efficient approach for evaluating the Sommerfeld integrals in the spectral domain, whose integrands typically show an oscillatory and slowly decaying behavior at high frequencies, e.g., in the millimeter wave regime. It is well known that these integrals arise in the representations of the dyadic Green's functions of layered media and efficient computation of these Green's functions is key to rapid CEM modeling of patch antennas and printed circuits designed for 5G appli...
An integral equation approach to the computation of nonlinear fields in electrical machines Kükrer, Osman; Ertan, H. Bülnet (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1988-7) A numerical method based on an integral equation formulation, for the computation of nonlinear magnetostatic field, in two dimensions in cylindrical polar coordinates is given. The correctness of the method is illustrated by solving two linear two-dimensional magnetic field problems which have readily available analytical solutions. The dependence of the accuracy of the solution on the number and distribution of the meshes is studied on these examples. The method is then applied to the computation of the no...
A SPINOR MODEL FOR QUANTUM COSMOLOGY DERELI, T; ONDER, M; TUCKER, RW (1994-03-31) The question of the interpretation of Wheeler-DeWitt solutions in the context of cosmological models is addressed by implementing the Hamiltonian constraint as a spinor wave equation in minisuperspace. We offer a relative probability interpretation based on a non-closed vector current in this space and a prescription for a parametrisation of classical solutions in terms of classical time. Such a prescription can accommodate classically degenerate metrics describing manifolds with signature change. The relat...
