A novel and efficient analysis technique for reflectarrays of variable element sizes was previously proposed by the authors. The technique relies on using the scaled version of a reference mesh for all elements and reusing the dominant characteristic mode of the resonant sized patch for all differently sized patches on the reflectarray. The number of unknowns is reduced to the number of elements by constructing a reduced matrix form through the use of the dominant characteristic mode as a macro basis function. In this study, an accurate and efficient method for the construction of this reduced MoM (Method of Moments) matrix is proposed. An entry of the reduced matrix corresponds to the interaction of two patches and it is a function of horizontal and vertical displacements and sizes of these patches. The efficiency of the proposed method is based on our observation that, except for near field interactions, the displacement and size dependencies are separable such that the matrix entries can be expressed as the product of two functions. Therefore it becomes sufficient to tabulate the reduced matrix entry for two cases, one for a fixed pair of source and observer patch sizes, whereas the other is for a fixed pair of horizontal and vertical displacements. When the tabulations are available, it takes 0.38 seconds to compute the current density on a reflectarray with 1000 elements, on a personal computer with 3.3 GHz clock speed.

Efficient Analysis of Reflectarrays through the Use of Characteristic Modes Ercil, Erdinc; Alatan, Lale; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2015-05-17) The aim of this study is to establish an efficient analysis method for reflectarrays with varying element sizes. The efficiency of the method relies on utilization of characteristic modes as macro basis functions, and thereby reducing the MoM matrix equation size dramatically. Although the reflectarrays on the focus of this study are comprised of differently sized elements, it was observed that, when same numerical characteristic mode is used to represent the current on all patches, the resultant approximat...
Fast cell determination of the DSMC molecules in multi-stage turbo molecular pump design Sengil, N.; Edis, Fırat Oğuz (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-01) In this study, an existing 2D parallel DSMC solver is modified, to analyze the multi-stage turbomolecular pumps more efficiently. Generally, molecule movements are traced cell-by-cell in DSMC solvers both in structured and unstructured meshes in order to determine which cell the DSMC molecule is positioned in. These calculations require time consuming trigonometric operations. If a nonrectangular physical domain can be converted into a rectangular computational domain using curvilinear coordinates, then it ...
An Efficient Approach for Evaluation of Multilayered Media Green's Functions ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Li, Chao; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Mittra, Raj (2021-01-01) © 2021 IEEE.In this study, a novel approach is presented for efficient evaluation of Sommerfeld integrals arising in spatial-domain Green's functions in planar multilayered media. This approach allows us to tackle the difficulties encountered during the integration of the Sommerfeld integrals, which exhibit highly oscillatory and slowly decaying nature occurring especially at very high frequencies, e.g., at millimeter waves, that are finding increasing use in applications such as 5G and beyond. The oscillat...
Improved design procedure for double-ridged waveguides Prakash, VVS; Mittra, R; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2002-11-01) This article presents a novel methodology for designing double-ridged waveguides by numerically optimizing their geometric shape such that they sustain the two prescribed lowest order modes. The field solution to the problem is obtained by using the finite element method. The performance of the microgenetic algorithm and the quasi-Newton methods is studied for carrying out geometry optimization. This generalized formulation is capable of handling inhomogeneous material fillings in the guide, and computation...
An Efficient Numerical Solution Method for Reflectarrays of Varying Element Sizes Ercil, Erdinc; Alatan, Lale; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2015-12-01) A novel method is developed for the efficient solution of reflectarrays of variable size elements. The method relies on using characteristic modes (CM) as macro basis functions and reusing the dominant CM of the resonant element for all elements in the reflectarray. This utilization leads to obtaining a reduced matrix system where the number of unknowns is drastically decreased. As far as the far field is concerned, accurate results are achieved even with a single CM. The accuracy is attained owing to prese...
