NEMF21
What we promised to do in terms of R&D …
T2.3: In-house TLM code, IMST and CST code applied to benchmarks;
T2.6: Data pool created as part of Data Management Programme;
T6.2: Propagation of EM field-field correlation functions using a Wigner function (WF) for solving flow equations, as well as transfer operator methods; T6.3 Deterministic models obtained from TLM calculation coupled with DFM matrices yielding a hybrid DFM-TLM method;
T8.2 From T6.2, T6.3, a combined WF-DFM-TLM solver with input form the n-point measurements (T4.2) will be set up and tested on data from IMST and NXP; interfaces with CST and IMST software will be created (?);
T9.1 UoN software packages will be validated against measurement data on C2C devices; design decisions for the antenna on chip architecture will be verified.
NEMF21
What we like to do …
• Develop method for propagating Wigner functions (WF) for EM fields in 3D in arbitrarily complex domains.
• Coupling WF propagator with TLM, FDTD codes as well as Random Matrix Theory (Random Coupling Method) – to include source radiation.
• Simulating sources? Testing commercial codes IMST and CST.
• Characterising near field effects and fluctuating sources.
• Combined analysis/design of sources and environments – efficient energy routing.
• Influence of noise, roughness, materials, and environment parameters, …
NEMF21
What we deliver …
Statistical properties of fields (average field strength, variance, higher moments) for a given source distribution and for specified degree of uncertainty (surface roughness, exterior noise etc) both in the near and far field: •Antenna distribution, radiation pattern•Energy routing feedback
Transfer operator formalism suitable for describing wavefront shaping – associated to efficient energy routing
Main challenge: source description, space-time domain boundaries
Limitations: needs to be modified to include deterministic/systematic interference effects (short orbits, proximity effects on antennas, etc…)
