 title = {Another Field Decomposition for the Transmittance between OAM 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 = {This paper proposes the synthesis of aperiodic arrays of realistic antennas excited with uniform amplitude, where the mutual coupling between elements is rigorously taken into account. A cost function that involves the expression of the radiated field of the coupled array is obtained and its gradient is evaluated in order to move the elements in the corresponding direction at each iteration. The synthesis method involves the calculation of the gradient of the field radiated by the coupled array, which is obtained analytically by using a full-wave method based on the generalized scattering matrix, spherical mode expansions and rotation, and translation properties of spherical waves.},

The estimation of the position is performed using only a continuous-wave radar with multiple receiving antennas. The method relies on the establishment of a linear relation between the interelement phase shifts and frequency, which is exploitable in the near-to-intermediate field. The method is introduced, and its independence with respect to the shape of the target demonstrated. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study the variance of the proposed estimator.

 author = {Bui Van Ha and Craeye, Christophe and de Lera Acedo, Eloy},
 abstract = {Large radio telescopes in the 21st century such as the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) or the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) make use of phased aperture arrays of antennas to achieve superb survey speeds. The Square Kilometer Array low frequency instrument (SKA1-LOW) will consist of a collection of non-regular phased array systems. The prediction of the main beam of these arrays using a few coefficients is crucial for the calibration of the telescope. An effective approach to model the main beam and first few sidelobes for large non-regular arrays is presented. The approach exploits Zernike polynomials to represent the array pattern. Starting from the current defined on an equivalence plane located just above the array, the pattern is expressed as a sum of Fourier transforms of Zernike functions of different orders. The coefficients for Zernike polynomials are derived by two different means: least-squares and analytical approaches. The analysis shows that both approaches provide a similar performance for representing the main beam and first few sidelobes. Moreover, numerical results for different array configurations are provided, which demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, also for arrays with shapes far from circular.

 author = {Hislop, Gregory and Craeye, Christophe and Gonzalez Ovejero, David},
 abstract = {A novel antenna calibration method is presented for near-field problems, such as material characterization or inverse scattering. The procedure accurately accounts for differences between simulations of objects close to antennas and the equivalent experimental measurements. It is based on the method of moments (MoM) solution to surface integral scattering equations. An efficient choice of macrobasis functions (MBFs) is applied to the antenna, which reduces the computational costs by several orders of magnitude. The calibration involves scanning a target of known constitution through the antenna near field, assigning a tuning parameter to each MBF and optimizing said parameters, so as to reduce the error between antenna simulations and measurements. This adjusts the antenna’s simulated surface currents, so as to more accurately represent the currents on the experimental apparatus. Thus, an efficient antenna model is obtained, which more accurately represents the real-world antenna. The calibration technique is verified by applying it to the characterization of dielectric objects of known but arbitrary shape.},

 abstract = {In many applications of absorbing structures it is important to understand their spatial response to incident fields, for example in thermal solar panels, bolometric imaging, and controlling radiative heat transfer. In practice, the illuminating field often originates from thermal sources and is only partially spatially coherent when it reaches the absorbing device. In this paper, we present a method to fully characterize the way a structure can absorb such partially coherent fields. The method is presented for any three-dimensional material and accounts for the partial coherence and partial polarization of the incident light. This characterization can be achieved numerically using simulation results or experimentally using the energy absorption interferometry that has been described previously in the literature. The absorbing structure is characterized through a set of absorbing functions onto which any partially coherent field can be projected. This set is compact for any structure of finite extent, and the absorbing function is discrete for periodic structures.},

 abstract = {Krylov subspace iterative techniques consist of finding the solution of a scattering problem as a linear combination of “generating vectors” obtained through successive matrix-vector multiplications. This paper extends this approach to domaindecomposition. Here, on each subdomain a subspace is obtained by constructing the segments of each generating vector associated with the subdomain, and by weighting these segments independently, which provides more degrees of freedom. The method is tested for scattering by a sphere and a rectangular plate, as well as radiation from connected arrays with strongly coupled antenna elements. It is shown that substantial computational savings can be obtained for the sphere and the array. This opens up new perspectives for faster solutions of multi-scaled problems.},

 abstract = {A novel fast technique is presented to account for the effect of an arbitrary soil permittivity in the analysis of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) antennas in the presence of a flat layered ground.We named the method Fast Ground Coupling Matrix (FGCM) because it is expressed as an additional Methodof- Moment impedance matrix obtained from the radiation patterns of the basis/testing functions and the ground reflection coefficient. The advantage of this method is the independence of radiation patterns from the ground’s physical and electromagnetic parameters (layer thickness, complex permittivity, permeability, etc.). The new matrix formulation efficiently calculates the impedance matrix due to the ground’s contribution, with a loop over the ground parameters (permittivity, conductivity and/or permeability), and changing the distance between antenna and ground. The number of samples in (complex) spectral domain is dramatically reduced by explicitly compensating truncation with aliasing errors in the spectral integration. To demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, numerical results for 3D metallic Vivaldi and typical dipole antennas are presented. A good agreement among the exact Method of Moments (MoM)solutions, the simulation results, and measured data is observed over an ultra-wide bandwidth.},

 author = {Bui Van Ha and Craeye, Christophe and Jha, Shambhu Nath},
 abstract = {A fast full-wave scheme is presented for the analysis of large printed antenna arrays, making use of the macrobasis functions (MBFs) technique. The interaction between MBFs is computed efficiently through a combination of the contour-fast Fourier transform (C-FFT) and interpolatory MBF-based techniques, which effectively deal with different parts of the printed structure. Substantial improvement is introduced to C-FFT by adding up the FFT tables before interpolating, which dramatically reduces the memory required to store the tables and accelerates the method-of-moment matrix filling time. The current on the antenna array and embedded element patterns (EEPs) are then rapidly obtained. Furthermore, an optimization method relying on sequential convex optimization and the fast full-wave scheme is proposed for the array synthesis. At each optimization iteration, EEPs are precomputed and assumed to be locally constant, which enables the implementation of convex programming to rapidly optimize the antenna positions. The EEPs are then quickly updated for the new antenna positions. The scheme enables the efficient inclusion of mutual coupling in array synthesis problems. Numerical results are presented and discussed for the synthesis of linear and planar arrays made of printed bowtie antennas.},

The accuracy that can be achieved is limited only by the quality of simulation, and we demonstrate that the error introduced when linearizing the problem decreases doubly exponentially with respect to the time devoted to the iterative process.

 title = {Inclusion of Signal and Noise Coupling in Sparse Wideband Array Synthesis},
 author = {Bui Van Ha and Craeye, Christophe},
 abstract = {It is well known that non-regular sparse arrays can strongly reduce the number of active channels while avoiding the appearance of grating lobes [1]. Such configurations avoid "intersecting" effective areas and space tapering can to a certain extent, replace amplitude tapering, with a positive impact on sensitivity. The combination of space tapering and amplitude tapering has been analysed in [2], where the amplitudes compensate for the local variation of the array density. In [3], this has been extended by describing the space tapering through a change of coordinates. In this case, the amplitude tapering is applied before space tapering, i.e. on the initial array, which has as a constant average density. This allows one to limit the amplitude variations imposed on the elements, which is favourable in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, while the main lobes and first few sidelobes have a very smooth behaviour. In the present paper, this work is extended to include mutual coupling between the elements. The work relies on a fast in-house solver, making use of Macro Basis Functions (MBFs) and on a model-based technique for computing the interactions between MBFs without computing the method-of-moments impedance matrix. Regarding the signal analysis, the amplitudes are modulated by the product between the local areas allotted to the element, multiplied by the embedded element pattern. In this work, noise-coupling is also accounted for. Numerical examples will be shown for arrays made of log-periodic antennas, foreseen for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope. The impact of the proposed combination of amplitude and space tapering on the array sensitivity will be illustrated.},

 author = {Karki, Sumit and Craeye, Christophe and Mitrovic, Michel and Dehant, Veronique},
 abstract = {A crossed slot circularly polarized antenna array conforming to a conical frustum is proposed for a Mars transponder. The cross-slot antenna element is aperture-coupled by a single stripline feed, and its properties are studied. Also, the entire slot antenna array fed with discrete delta-gap sources to produce circular polarization is also described. Eventually, the slot array would all be replaced by stripline feeds with phase control to perform analog beamforming.},

 author = {Craeye, Christophe},
 abstract = {A recent communication provided a model for the transmittance between two antennas supporting Orbital Angular Momentum modes. That formulation involved a single integral along the radial spectral coordinate. That approach actually also applies to any pair of apertures supporting arbitrary distributions. Asymptotically, for far field conditions, an analytical expression has been developed, as a power of the near-field parameter, corresponding to the ratio between the far-field limit and the distance between antennas. This expansion is extended to the intermediate-field region, as a polynomial of the near-field parameter. The convergence of this method is discussed, along with the corresponding time savings and limitations.},

 abstract = {The Doppler spectrum of a rotating smooth cylinder is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Since the studied object has a smooth surface and is large compared to the wavelength, the physical optics (PO) approximation is used. The integration of the surface currents is computed with a hybrid method which consists of integrating analytically the currents in one dimension using the stationary phase method (SPM), while the currents in the other dimension are integrated numerically. This enables a reduction of the computation time compared to a fully numerical integration. Simulations are compared with measurements.},

The method is based on an iterative convex optimization scheme and on a fast full-wave simulation technique. The embedded element patterns (EEP), obtained by full-wave simulation at each iteration of the convex optimization, are exploited to take into account the mutual coupling. The final results, therefore, not only satisfy the pre-defined constraints but also guarantee the performance of the array. Numerical results of linear focused beam arrays are presented to show the effectiveness of the approach.},

The technique relies on a fast simulation scheme, exploiting the Macro Basis Functions (MBF) technique, to quickly analyze arrays. Mutual coupling (MC) is taken into account by exploiting the embedded element patterns in the synthesis process. The technique is hybridized with an iterative convex optimization to effectively optimize antenna excitation and locations in a double-step optimization routine. The synthesized arrays will therefore fulfill all requirements.The performance of the method is validated for arrays of printed bowtie antennas.},

 abstract = {Full-wave simulations of 2D periodic arrays using the Method of Moments (MoM) are investigated. A method based on plane wave decomposition is used to fill the MoM impedance matrix. For pair of basis and testing functions that are close to each other, a singular term is removed before extrapolating the value of the impedance matrix using a Taylor expansion. The two main advantages of this method are the easy computation of the derivative of the impedance matrix involved in the Taylor expansion and the fact that the singularity extraction can be performed once for all phase shifts between consecutive unit cells. The latter property proves to be useful when the Array Scanning Method (ASM) is to be used.},

First, the impedance matrices describing one layer of the metamaterial are transformed in order to obtain the response of a semi-infinite metamaterial. Then, the fields within the first layers of the structure are computed recursively. The whole process is numerically stable. Numerical results are provided as an illustration.},

 abstract = {The Contour-FFT is a recent method based on the Method of Moments which is intended to analyse very large irregular antenna arrays printed on layered substrates. This method relies on some parameters that can be hard to adjust for certain cases: typically thin or high-permittivity substrates. In this work we propose a simple hybrid spectral/spatial domain approach to overcome this problem, and we show that it very efficiently improves the accuracy without altering the attractive time complexity of the Contour-FFT. We also propose to apply the Contour-FFT only to the portion of the spectral domain that contains the contour, leading to important time saving factors.},
