Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight recent developments in and applications of numerical methods in complex electromagnetic systems. We aim to bring together original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on a range of topics related to numerical electromagnetics. Potential topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • High-performance computing for electromagnetic simulations;
  • Advanced numerical techniques for electromagnetic field analysis;
  • Electromagnetic wave propagation in complex media;
  • Modeling and simulation of electromagnetic devices and systems;
  • Optimization of electromagnetic systems using numerical methods;
  • Computational electromagnetics for biomedical applications;
  • Numerical techniques for electromagnetic compatibility and interference analysis;
  • Electromagnetic theory and numerical methods for nonlinear materials and metamaterials.

The torque performance of the interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) must be further improved to satisfy the growing demand of aircraft drive application. To this end, this article focuses on the design optimization of the IPMSM structure in the aircraft drive systems to improve the torque density and reduce the torque ripple. A special fractional-slot winding and ∇-type magnetic-pole rotor topology are proposed as the optimized IPMSM structure compared with the structure of an existing motor. The simulations of the original and optimized structures at different current values reveal the variance of the torque in the average and ripple, mechanical and external characteristics, efficiency and steady-state temperature. The performance of an optimized prototype is analyzed by experimental testing, and the results show that an optimized motor has a higher torque density and lower torque ripple than the original one at the same speed and rated power, but it also has a higher temperature rise. However, the temperature rise value is acceptable in the experimental testing condition, so the validity of the design optimization method for the proposed structure is verified. Full article

This paper proposes a field probe to measure the power density (PD) at a millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequency band. The proposed probe is composed of a loop antenna in which one end is terminated with a load resistor. Such a structure enables the simultaneous measurement of electric (E)- and magnetic (H)-fields: the E-field is measured at a gap where the load resistor is placed, and the H-field is measured through the loop antenna. The simultaneous measurement makes it possible to measure PD for an incident wave even in the near field region where the E- and H-fields have different phases from each other. The proposed probe is fabricated and evaluated for its PD measurement performance. The measurement results show that the probe measures PD with an error less than 1.3 dB. Owing to the near field measurement, the proposed probe is useful in measuring the human body exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that are generated by 5G mmWave base stations. Full article

This article introduces a process to design, simulate, and measure a novel multi-band patch antenna with different operation modes, i.e., band centers and bandwidths. Switching between operation modes is possible using a pair of PIN diodes to connect different parts of the antenna with the main antenna patch. Such a reconfigurable design allows for individual control of each frequency range. The main operation mode of the resulting antenna has an impedance bandwidth with two bands, one from 2.4 GHz to 2.73 GHz and another from 3.4 GHz to 5.73 GHz, with a maximum gain of 4.85 dBi and stable radiation patterns. The resulting antenna is suitable for applications using both ultra-wideband technologies and wireless local-area network (WLAN) technologies. Full article
