Multipole-based Cable Braid Magnetic Penetration Model for Conducting Wires

In this report, we investigate the effects of conductor losses in a multipole-based cable braid magnetic penetration model. Our multipole model uses a mesh of the actual cable geometry, which enables us to model more complicated structures. After summarizing the first principles model formulation, we consider a one-dimensional array of wires, for which an analytical solution is known in the lossless case. We extend this solution to the lossy case by using a complex-valued radius. We also model this structure analytically using a conformal-mapping solution. We then compare both the self-impedance and the transfer impedance results from our first principles cable braid electromagnetic penetration model to those obtained using the analytical solutions. An analysis for various frequencies (and skin depths) usually encountered in cable modeling is reported. These results are found in good agreement up to a radius to half spacing ratio of about 0.7, demonstrating a robustness needed for many commercial and non-commercial cables.

Magnetic Properties of Cables with Meandering Wires through a Multipole-based Cable Braid Electromagnetic Penetration Model

In this paper, we employ our first principles multipole-based cable braid electromagnetic penetration model to evaluate the transfer inductance of cables exhibiting meandering wires. We concentrate on a cable structure with two wires, and consider the dependence on the transfer inductance as a function of braid angle and amplitude of the meandering. We compare the results from the first principles model to analytical estimations, confirming the accuracy and correctness of our model. In turn, this makes the multipole-based model readily available for the modeling of realistic cable geometries by accounting for the full dependence on the actual cable geometry.

Efficient ultrathin all-dielectric nonlinear optical device

An apparatus and method are provided for generating harmonic light from a pump beam that is impinged on a metasurface comprising a plurality of all-dielectric resonator bodies. A multiple quantum well structure formed in each resonator body includes asymmetric coupled quantum wells having intersubband transition frequencies that couple to Mie resonances of the resonator bodies.

A Method of Moments Wide Band Adaptive Rational Interpolation Method for High-Quality Factor Resonant Cavities

A new adaptive rational interpolation method is proposed to obtain the wideband frequency response of a resonant cavity simulated with the method of moments (MoM). This interpolation method uses both the Loewner matrix to construct a rational expression for the solution vector of MoM’s matrix system and an error estimator generated by the solution vectors and their derivatives. This error estimator is implemented in the adaptive procedure to gain a minimum set of frequencies and solution vectors required in the interpolation. The resulting set of frequencies and solution vectors is applied to interpolate other system variables, such as shielding effectiveness and input impedance. Here numerical results of a slotted cylindrical cavity supporting high-quality factor resonances are presented, showing that the new rational interpolation method is accurate and efficient in interpolating the complicated resonant response of the solution vector functions.

Penetration Bounds For Azimuthal Slot On Infinite Cylinder With Finite Length Backing Cylindrical Cavity

We examine coupling into azimuthal slots on an infinite cylinder with a infinite length interior cavity operating both at the fundamental cavity modal frequencies, with small slots and a resonant slot, as well as higher frequencies. The coupling model considers both radiation on an infinite cylindrical exterior as well as a half space approximation. Bounding calculations based on maximum slot power reception and interior power balance are also discussed in detail and compared with the prior calculations. For higher frequencies limitations on matching are imposed by restricting the loads ability to shift the slot operation to the nearest slot resonance; this is done in combination with maximizing the power reception as a function of angle of incidence. Finally, slot power mismatch based on limited cavity load quality factor is considered below the first slot resonance.
