The pipes of a ship, which exist in heterogeneous typology and massive number, are one of the key elements in a shipyard, and their real-time monitoring constitutes a prospective Cyber-Physical System (CPS). Their improved location, from production and through their lifetime, can enhance shipyard productivity and safety. Navantia, one of the ten largest shipbuilders in the world, has improved its...
A study for selecting the technology and material manufacturing for the distribution network of a low profile antenna in Ka band in order to provide Internet connection in commercial aircrafts through satellite link. It is presented the general structure of the network focused in new printed technologies for high frequencies such as Substrate Integrated Waveguide or Ridge Gap Waveguide. Simulated...
A simple and fast method to accelerate the global optimization approaches used in array thinning is described. This method tabulates the contribution of every array element to the far-field pattern in order to improve the numerical efficiency of the optimization algorithm employed. Experiments using our proposal alongside with a genetic algorithm reduce the search computation time about 90%.
The present article studies the influence of a car heatable windshield by means of an equivalent material that allows an appropriate meshing of the vehicle. This study has been performed analyzing the propagation of an electromagnetic radiated transient pulse generated by a wire inside a car with and without the windshield. The Finite Differences Time Domain (FDTD) is the method used to obtain the...
A simple and fast technique that allows a diagnosis of faulty elements in antenna arrays, that only needs to consider a small number of samples of its degraded far-field pattern is described. The method tabulates patterns radiated by the array with 1 faulty element only. Then the pattern corresponding to the configuration of failed/unfailed elements under test is calculated using the error-free pattern...
Validation of numerical simulation results for low-level, high-frequency transient radiated EMC signals is difficult because of the limitations of time domain measurement instruments. A measurement method combining the sensitivity of a RF spectrum analyzer and the time domain abilities of a digitizing oscilloscope is used to validate FDTD simulations of a fast transient coupled between two antennas...
