TL;DR: In this paper, the photonic band structure of a linear array of metallic nanocylinders is calculated using the embedding method, and the coupling to the vacuum on either side of the array is treated exactly, allowing the continuum states and plasmon broadening above the light-line to be treated accurately.
Abstract: The photonic band structure of a linear array of metallic nanocylinders is calculated using the embedding method. The coupling to the vacuum on either side of the array is treated exactly, allowing the continuum states and plasmon broadening above the light-line to be treated accurately. In addition to the plasmon bands, which broaden at larger cylinder radius, there are two guided modes, with the character of surface plasmon polaritons. These split off the light-line at small wave-vector, becoming almost dispersionless as they enter the plasmon bands. The electric fields associated with the modes are calculated, and their symmetries are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new variant of a Half-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide which enables direct interaction with the wave energy is proposed. But this model is not suitable for high power applications.
Abstract: This paper outlines a new variant of a Half-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide which enables direct interaction with the wave energy; the rotated Half-Mode SIW. SIW discontinuities are normally vias, but the rHMSIW allows SIW discontinuities to be fabricated directly in copper and hence improved manufacturing tolerances.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new method to construct HMSIW without via which eliminate the fabrication difficulties and achieve the same performance as traditional SIW and IW without metalizing via construction.
Abstract: SIW and HMSIW have been proven as one of the best solutions for millimeter-wave waveguide propagation. Fabrication of these structures requires expensive and problematic metalised via construction. In this paper we propose a new method to construct HMSIW without via which eliminate the fabrication difficulties and achieve the same performance. The concept is verified by simulation using CST®.

07 Nov 2013TL;DR: In this article, a predictive time-domain analysis of near-field coupling for complex shape wiring system is reported, based on the Taylor model, enabling to determine the transient voltage coupling induced by electromagnetic (EM) nearfield action on the metallic wiring structure.
Abstract: A predictive time-domain (TD) analysis of near-field (NF) coupling for complex shape wiring system is reported. Based on the Taylor model, methodological approach enabling to determine the transient voltage coupling induced by electromagnetic (EM) near-field action on the metallic wiring structure is presented. The basic steps indicating how the coupling time-dependent voltages were calculated are described. The feasibility of the TD calculation method under study was confirmed by investigating the NF coupling between 200-mm I-shape wire as a radiating culprit and Z-shape victim wire of 60mm distance. An arbitrary form pulse having 40-ns-time-width was considered as transient perturbation. Comparison between the time-dependent voltages calculated across the victim wire extremities and full wave simulations performed with a commercial tool is addressed. The potential application of the proposed method notably for EMC characterization is discussed.
