Electromagnetic Topology: a Modular Junction Approach for a System Level Interaction Problem

A new approach to perform electromagnetic topology based simulation is proposed by incorporating modular scattering junction concept. This method substitutes the multi- step computation technique and is convenient to implement. The method also allows for incorporating substructural modifications and does not require repeating solutions to the entire system. The overall simulation utilizes transmission line matrix compaction, finite-difference time-domain method, and reciprocity theorem to simulate the system interaction. Results are compared with experiments conducted in the laboratory. A good agreement is shown for the simulated and experimental data.
