In this paper the surface wave characteristics, as well as the radiation efficiency and the directivity of a patch antenna, with a given current distribution, located on top of an inhomogeneous, isotropic substrate are calculated. The substrate is infinite in the lateral directions and inhomogeneous with respect to the height coordinate. The surface waves in the substrate are analyzed using the pro
An antenna system is disclosed that includes two or more antennas and an impedance matching network. The antennas of the antenna system are closely separated, such as by a distance of no more than a wavelength of received signals divided by two. The impedance matching network is adapted to respond to and counteract performance degradation resulting from cross coupling between the antennas. Related
The SEAMLESS project has high ambitions both concerning its scientific goals and its aim to create an impact assessment tool that can be useful in future policy making in the agrienvironmental area. Interaction between researchers and the society therefore is a crucial component of the project. In the last phase of the SEAMLESS project the dissemination of knowledge produced in the project becomes
In the context of growing concerns over climate change and peak oil, biofuels for transport are attracting considerable support from the European Union (EU). However, the sustainability of biofuels is under increasing debate. Furthermore, the complexity of the biofuels industry (involving different resources and feedstock suppliers, different logistics providers and options, a range of technologie
Synthesis of operating procedures for batch plants involves systematic generation of step by step instructions which the operator can implement to manage the batch plant safely and optimally. This is a labor and knowledgeintensive task. It often takes weeks of effort by experts to prepare a clear and error free set of instructions even for a moderately complex plant. If this process is automated,
Using the Cayley-Hamilton theorem and unique solubility of scalar Volterra convolution equations of the second kind, the inverse problem of determining the four time-dependent susceptibility dyadics of a linear, homogeneous, bianisotropic slab from generic scattering data at oblique incidence is shown to be well posed. An explicit formula for the crucial step is given.
Highly excited P and D states in 87 Rb were examined using a two-step excitation procedure. A conventional rf lamp and a CW dye laser were used for the first and second step, respectively. The following results for the magnetic dipole interaction constant a , the electric quadrupole interaction constant b , the Landé g J factor, and the tensor polarizability α 2 were obtained in level-crossing an
This dissertation investigates properties of rotating atomic nuclei. Studies are performed using the cranking model and in the particles + rotor model. Properties studied are energy spectra and electromagnetic transition probabilities. The thesis also investigates the use of different liquid drop models at high spin values and studies the use of the particle + rotor approximation for the descripti
Our previous measurements in the P and D series in 133 Cs have been extended to a number of higher lying levels, populated in a two-step excitation process involving an rf lamp and a CW dye laser. The D states were studied with the level-crossing technique, while the optical-double-resonance method was used for the investigation of the P states. For the magnetic dipole interaction constant a , the
A crack model that considers general normal and shear loading is proposed. It involves elasticity, plasticity and damage and it is thermodynamically based. An essential feature of the model is its consistency with the concepts behind the fictitious crack model.
An upper bound on the effective area and bandwidth product for linearly polarized array antennas is derived. The bound is based on the forward scattering sum rule that relates the antenna properties with the polarizability of the antenna structure. The results are illustrated for a dipole array and a capacitively loaded dipole array with numerical simulations.
