Equivalence principle algorithm for analysis of metamaterials and reconfigurable pixelled antennas

摘要

To address part of the requirements of the emerging technologies such as multiradio communication, wireless sensor networking, and real-time imaging, miniaturized multi-band devices have been realized using different techniques including metamaterial structures and reconfigurable antennas. In the designing stage, an optimization procedure which invokes a simulation tool to model the structure is used. Therefore, speed, computational burden, and accuracy of the simulation tool become a critical issue. Equivalence principle algorithm (EPA) provides a level of parallelization of the solution, flexibility for selecting the mesh strategy, and its reuse. Hence, it can be a good candidate to address these challenging problems.
