Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Computational Methods in Electromagnetics have evolved tremendously during the past few decades, in parallel with the increase in the available computational resources. The multitude of the established numerical techniques for electromagnetic analyses—ranging from methods for the solution of integral and differential equations to advanced frequency/time-domain schemes (e.g., moment methods, finite-difference/element techniques, fast multipole methods) and hybrid techniques—has contributed most to this evolution, and to the expansion of the pertinent practical applications. At present, rigorous and efficient numerical methods have become standard means for the analysis, design, and optimization of high-frequency circuits and devices, transmitting/receiving antennas, as well as transmission lines and waveguides, but also for the characterization and assessment of wireless systems and complex electromagnetic interactions (including EMC/EMI issues). The purpose of this Special Issue is to gather contributions from experts on numerical techniques, with an application spectrum encompassing (but not limited to) wave propagation/scattering in complex environments, stochastic modeling of electromagnetic phenomena, antenna design and optimization for use in the manmade environment, electromagnetic interactions involving real-world devices/objects, as well as bio-electromagnetic effects. Contributions with a main emphasis on analytical/semi-analytical or asymptotic approaches in electromagnetics are also welcome, provided that they exploit computer power or they are connected with computational methods/schemes.

Fractional derivative operators are finding applications in a wide variety of fields with their ability to better model certain phenomena exhibiting spatial and temporal nonlocality. One area in which these operators are applicable is in the field of electromagnetism, thereby modelling transient wave propagation in complex media. To apply fractional derivative operators to electromagnetic problems, the operator must adhere to certain principles, like the trigonometric functions invariance property. The Grünwald–Letnikov and Marchaud fractional derivative operators comply with these principles and therefore could be applied. The fractional derivative arises when modelling frequency-dispersive dielectric media. The time-domain convolution integral in the relation between the electric displacement and the polarisation density, containing an empirical extension of the Debye model, is approximated directly. A common approach is to recursively update the convolution integral by approximating the time series by a truncated sum of decaying exponentials, with the coefficients found through means of optimisation or fitting. The finite-difference time-domain schemes using this approach have shown to be more computationally efficient compared to other approaches using auxiliary differential equation methods. Full article

To meet the demand for modern communication technology, the development of satellite communications has been consistently investigated. In this article, a rectangle-type SRR is attached to circular-type SRR for obtaining two frequencies in X-band operation. The designed structure exhibits negative metamaterial properties (Epsilon, mu and refractive index are negative) and the design was fabricated on a polyimide dielectric material with a 10 × 10 mm2 size. The polyimide dielectric material is chosen with a thickness of 0.1 mm and a dielectric constant of 0.0027. The proposed unit cell is designed and simulated by using one of the numerical simulation tools, CSTMW studio, in which the frequency limit is chosen from 7 to 12 GHz. From the results, we can observe that the proposed design resonates at two X-band frequencies at 9.84 GHz and 11.46 GHz and the measurement results of the proposed design resonate at 9.81 GHz and 11.61 GHz. It is worth noting that the simulation and measurement findings both obtain the same X-band frequencies, with only a minor difference in the frequency values. Thus, the recommended design is very much useful for X-band applications. Full article
