Biography

Modeste Bodehou was born in Cotonou, Benin in 1992. He received the B.Sc in engineering and the M.Sc in electrical engineering in 2013 and 2015 respectively, both from the Royal Military Academy of Belgium. From October 2015 to December 2015, he stayed at the Quartier Major Housiau (Belgium Defense) in the framework his application school on Military Communication Systems.

In February 2016, he joined the Microwave and Applied Electromagnetism laboratory of the Université catholique de Louvain, where he is currently working toward his Ph.D.

Research Interests

His research interests include computational electromagnetics, and the analysis and design of metasurface antennas.

 author = {Bodehou, Modeste and Craeye, Christophe},
 abstract = {This paper first provides an intuitive description of the spectral representations for the transmittance between two apertures. Then, two spectral representations of the transmittance between OAM antennas are compared. The first one makes use of the Modified Zernike function and has already been described in a previous publication. The second one is based on the Fourier-Bessel decomposition of the current distribution on the apertures. Both families of expansion functions are orthogonal on a disk and admit a closed form spectrum. In both cases, the transmittance in the far-field can be approximated in closed form if the current distribution is expressed in the basis. However, it is observed that the far-field behavior is fundamentally different, highlighting the complementarity between the two bases.},

 abstract = {Metasurfaces are thin (2D) metamaterials designed for manipulating the dispersion properties of surface-waves (SWs) or the reflection properties of incident plane-waves. Thanks to the sub-wavelength sizes of the patches used in the implementation step, these surfaces can be described by a surface impedance boundary condition (IBC). In this paper, we investigate a 'Method of Moments' (MoM) based analysis of such surface with a family of entire-domain basis functions named 'Fourier-Bessel' functions. The orthogonality property of these functions on a disk allows us to represent any smooth current distribution in an effective manner and thereby to drastically reduce the size of the MoM matrix.},
