Johan Lundgren, Mats Gustafsson
Characteristic Mode analysis is a widely used technique in antenna design, providing insight into the fundamental electromagnetic properties of radiating structures. In this paper,…
Characteristic Mode Analysis of Acoustic Scatterers
Lukas Jelinek, Kurt Schab, Viktor Hruska +2
The explicit connection between the transition matrix and boundary element method integral operators is formulated. This enables the calculation of characteristic modes via eigenva…
Radiation Efficiency and Gain Bounds for Microstrip Patch Antennas
Ben A. P. Nel, Anja K. Skrivervik, Mats Gustafsson
This paper presents radiation efficiency and gain bounds for microstrip patch antennas. The presented bounds are shown to be good predictors of antenna performance. Using the bound…
Theory and Computation of Substructure Characteristic Modes
Mats Gustafsson, Lukas Jelinek, Miloslav Capek +2
The problem of substructure characteristic modes is developed using a scattering matrix-based formulation, generalizing subregion characteristic mode decomposition to arbitrary com…
Characteristic Modes of Nonreciprocal Structures
Niklas Wingren, Daniel Sjöberg, Mats Gustafsson +4
The scattering formulation of characteristic mode decomposition is utilized to extend modal analysis to lossless scatterers breaking time-reversal symmetry. This enables characteri…
Characteristic Modes of Frequency-Selective Surfaces and Metasurfaces from S-parameter Data
Kurt Schab, Frederick Chen, Lukas Jelinek +3
Characteristic modes of arbitrary two-dimensional periodic systems are analyzed using scattering parameter data. This approach bypasses the need for periodic integral equations and…
