| Title: | A New Method for Crosstalk Prediction Between Triple-twisted Strand (Uniform and Non-uniform) and Signal Wire based on CDBAS-BPNN Algorithm |
| Abstract: | This paper proposes a novel crosstalk prediction method between the triple-twisted strand (uniform and non-uniform) and the signal wire, that is, using back-propagation neural network optimized by the beetle antennae search algorithm based on chaotic disturbance mechanism (CDBAS-BPNN) to extract the per unit length (p.u.l) parameter matrix, and combined with the chain parameter method to obtain crosstalk. Firstly, the geometric model and cross-sectional model between the uniform triple-twisted strand and the signal wire are established, and the corresponding model between the non-uniform triple-twisted strand and the signal wire is obtained by the Monte Carlo (MC) method. Then, the beetle antennae search algorithm based on chaotic disturbance mechanism (CDBAS) and backpropagation neural network (BPNN) are combined to construct a new extraction network of the p.u.l parameter matrix, and the chain parameter method is combined to predict crosstalk. Finally, in the verification and analysis part of the numerical experiments, comparing the crosstalk results of CDBAS-BPNN, BAS-BPNN and Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) algorithms, it is verified that the proposed method has better accuracy for the prediction of the model. |

| Title: | Crosstalk Reduction on Delay Line with Rectangular-Patches (RPs) Design |
| Abstract: | In this paper, a novel helix delay line with RPs structures is proposed to investigate the performance of crosstalk reduction. In the past, conventional delay lines consist of equal-length parallel unit lines which are closely packed to minimize the fabricated cost and routing area. All spacing between the adjacent parallel unit lines of delay lines should be smaller. When the operating signal frequency ups to the GHz level, the electromagnetic noise has become a dominant issue coupling from adjacent lines. It is called as a crosstalk source. The crosstalk may affect system-level timing. Besides, it causes error switching of logic gates that will reduce the signal quality. The feature of proposed helix delay line is that the far-end crosstalk (FEXT) is a dominated noise that accumulates at the receiving end. RPs structures are added and aligned at the center of the two parallel adjacent unit lines of the proposed helix delay line, which are used to reduce the difference between inductive and capacitive coupling coefficient ratios, and to reduce FEXT that maintains the signal integrity (SI) quality on receiving end. |

| Title: | Parameter Identification of the Planar Integrated EMI Filter Based on the Improved Immune Algorithm |
| Abstract: | The planar integrated EMI filter has been widely used because of its small size and good highfrequency characteristics. During the production process, if the electrical parameters of the integrated LC structure can be accurately identified, it will help improve the high-frequency characteristics of the filter. However, this identification problem is a multi-peak problem, which can easily fall into a local optimal solution. Based on the Feature Selective Validation method, this paper proposes an improved Immune Algorithm. The proposed method keeps changing the fitness function in the iterative process to avoid the algorithm falling into the local optimal solution. Finally, comparing with the measured impedance characteristic curve, it is verified that the proposed method is more accurate than the common Immune Algorithm. |

| Title: | Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain Method with Dispersive Modified Debye Model and its Application to the Analysis of Optical Frequency Selective Surfaces |
| Abstract: | We develop a discontinuous Galerkin time domain (DGTD) algorithm with an experimentally validated modified Debye model (MDM) to take metal dispersion into consideration. The MDM equation is coupled with Maxwell’s equations and solved together through the auxiliary differential equation (ADE) method. A Runge-Kutta time-stepping scheme is proposed to update the semi-discrete transformed Maxwell’s equations and ADEs with high order accuracy. Then we employ the proposed algorithm to analyze an infinite doubly periodic frequency selective surface (FSS) operating in the optical regime that exhibits transmission enhancement due to the surface plasmatic effect. The accuracy and the efficiency enhancements are validated through a comparison with commercial simulation software. This work represents the first integration of MDM with DGTD, which enables the DGTD algorithm to efficiently analyze metallic structures in the optical regime. |

| Title: | Optimization of Loneys Solenoid Design Using a Dynamic Search Based Technique |
| Abstract: | Particle swarm optimizer is one of the searched based stochastic technique that has a weakness of being trapped into local optima. Thus, to tradeoff between the local and global searches and to avoid premature convergence in PSO, a new dynamic quantumbased particle swarm optimization (DQPSO) method is proposed in this work. In the proposed method a beta probability distribution technique is used to mutate the particle with the global best position of the swarm. The proposed method can ensure the particles to escape from local optima and will achieve the global optimum solution more easily. Also, to enhance the global searching capability of the proposed method, a dynamic updated formula is proposed that will keep a good balance between the local and global searches. To evaluate the merit and efficiency of the proposed DQPSO method, it has been tested on some well-known mathematical test functions and a standard benchmark problem known as Loney’s solenoid design. |

| Title: | Separation of Radiated EMI Noise based on Joint Approximate Diagonalization Algorithm |
| Abstract: | Power electronic devices and electrical equipment produce a large quantity of radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the working process. Electromagnetic field analysis method of the near-field and far-field of the antenna can be employed to separate the radiated interference noises. However, the method has low separation accuracy and requires a lot of time. A novel method based on joint approximate diagonalization algorithm (JADA) to separate the radiated EMI noise is proposed in this paper. Compared with the traditional independent component algorithm method, the accuracy is improved by 14% and the efficiency is increased by 30%. The common-differential mode mixed noise source is taken as the experimental object to demonstrate the effectiveness and simplicity of the proposed method. |

| Title: | A Dual-band Monopole Antenna with EBG for Wearable Wireless Body Area Networks |
| Abstract: | This paper proposes a dual-band wearable monopole antenna adopting an electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure, which operates at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz ISM bands and is suitable for wearable applications. Both the monopole antenna and the EBG structure are fabricated on an F4B semi-flexible substrate having a dielectric constant of 2.2. The EBG structure effectively isolates the human body from the radiation of the antenna and reduces the specific absorption rate (SAR) of it by more than 97.5%. This improves the antenna gain and the peak gain reaches 9.1 dBi at 5.8 GHz. The wearable performance of the antenna showed that it can sustain good performance even under realistic human body loading. Besides, the antenna has a small size, which makes it ideal for wearable applications. |

| Title: | Isolation Enhancement between Ports of a Compact Ultra-wideband MIMO Antenna |
| Abstract: | In this paper, a novel compact multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with enhanced port isolation is proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The UWB MIMO antenna contains two coplanar annular monopoles etched on the front side of the FR-4 substrate. The dielectric substrate has a relative permittivity of 4.4 and a size of 80 mm × 40 mm × 1.6 mm. The irregular ground is printed on the back side of the substrate. In order to enhance the port isolation between the two monopoles, the expanded ground is exploited in the proposed design. In addition, the ground is etched with some slots to achieve good impedance matching. Both the simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna achieves good impedance matching as well as high port isolation over the entire UWB band. Moreover, the proposed antenna has good spatial diversity characteristics. In summary, the proposed UWB MIMO antenna can be well applied to the ultra-wideband wireless communication system. |

| Title: | Reconfigurable Planar Monopole Antenna for Fifth-Generation Mobile Communication System |
| Abstract: | A frequency reconfigurable planar monopole antenna for fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication terminal equipment is presented. The proposed antenna uses a meandered monopole, branch resonance and other techniques to make the antenna resonant in multiple frequency bands. The antenna is compact in size (115 mm × 55 mm × 0.8 mm) and has a longitudinal length less than one-tenth of the resonant wavelength (working at 1.79 GHz). The pin diode is designed between the planar meandered monopole antenna and branch. The current path of the highfrequency current on the antenna can be easily controlled by controlling the DC bias voltage of the diode, and the operating frequency of the antenna is switched between three frequency bands. The antenna is fed directly through a 50 Ω matched transmission line. The measured data of the antenna in the anechoic chamber show good consistency with simulation data. The radiation pattern of the antenna shows good omnidirectional characteristics and good frequency characteristics, with a maximum radiation gain of 13.6 dBi. Experimental results demonstrate that the antenna can meet the design requirements of 5G communication. |

| Title: | Design of Dual Frequency Coupled Resonators Using DGS and Microstrip Resonators for Dual Band WPT Applications |
| Abstract: | This paper introduces a new design for a highly efficient and more compact size dual frequency wireless power transfer (WPT) system, which can operate at both 0.65 GHz and 1.56 GHz bands. The idea of the structure depends on designing a symmetrical system containing Tx and Rx. Each Tx and Rx has a feed line on the top layer with two stubs; each stub has different dimensions than the other one. The bottom layer contains two C-shaped defected ground structures (DGS). By changing the dimensions of one stub, the frequency resonance corresponds to this stub is changed without any change on the other resonance. The system has a size of 20 × 20 mm2. Further, the system achieves efficiencies of 72% and 89% at 0.65 GHz and 1.56 GHz, respectively with a transmission distance of 8 mm. The proposed dual frequency WPT is implemented and verified. Good concurrences among electromagnetic (EM) simulations and the measurements have been attained. The system is suitable for recharging shortrange applications. |

| Title: | In Vitro Physical and Biological Evaluations of a 2.4 GHz Electromagnetic Exposure Setup |
| Abstract: | In this paper, a 2.4 GHz electromagnetic radiation system for cells in vitro was designed from the perspective of optimal energy coupling of cell samples. The validity of the design was verified by FDTD simulation, physical test and biological experiment. The electromagnetic parameters of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) and temperature rise were obtained by FDTD simulation. The validation of temperature simulation was confirmed by comparing the actual measurement data and the simulation data. The SAR relative uniformity between samples was tested by cell biological experiment, in which ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species), a typical and sensitive biological parameter reacting to electromagnetic radiation in cells, of different sample dishes induced by 2.4 GHz electromagnetic radiation with an incident power of 0.5 W was analyzed. We found that the size of cell dish affects the energy coupling intensity, the polarization characteristics of electromagnetic wave determines the distribution pattern of SAR, and the uniformity of sample energy absorption in this radiation system is good. |

| Title: | Dual-Band BSF with Enhanced Quality Factor |
| Abstract: | In the present work, a U-shaped CPW resonator (CPWR) with, generally, unequal arms is proposed to produce high Q-factor bandstop filter (BSF) based on broadside-coupling between the CPWR and a CPW through-line (CPWTL), which are printed on opposite faces of a thin substrate. The unequal arms of the U-shape and the finite width of the ground strips of the CPWR are shown to produce much higher Q-factor than that of equal arms and infinitely extending side ground planes. The dimensions of the CPWTL are optimized for impedance matching while the dimensions of the CPWR are optimized to obtain the highest Qfactor. The effect of the loss tangent of the dielectric substrate material on the Q-factor is investigated. It is shown that the difference between the lengths of the unequal arms of the U-shaped resonator can be used to control the Q-factor. Thanks to the computational efficiency of the employed electromagnetic simulator, enough number of trials has been successfully performed in reasonable time to arrive at the final design of the BSF. A prototype of the proposed BSF is fabricated for experimental investigation of its performance. The experimental measurements show good agreement when compared with the corresponding simulation results. |

| Title: | Quantitative Research on Cracks in Pipe Based on Magnetic Field Response Method of Eddy Current Testing |
| Abstract: | The quantitative evaluation of defects in eddy current testing is of great significance. Impedance analysis, as a traditional method, is adopted to determine defects in the conductor, however, it is not able to depict the shape, size and location of defects quantitatively. In order to obtain more obvious characteristic quantities and improve the ability of eddy current testing to detect defects, the study of cracks in metal pipes is carried out by utilizing the analysis method of three-dimensional magnetic field in present paper. The magnetic field components in the space near the crack are calculated numerically by using finite element analysis. The simulation results confirm that the monitoring of the crack change can be achieved by measuring the magnetic field at the arrangement positions. Besides, the quantitative relationships between the shape, length of the crack and the magnetic field components around the metal pipe are obtained. The results show that the axial and radial magnetic induction intensities are affected more significantly by the cross-section area of the crack. Bz demonstrates obvious advantages in analyzing quantitatively crack circumference length. Therefore, the response signal in the three-dimensional direction of the magnetic field gets to intuitively reflect the change of the defect parameter, which proves the effectiveness and practicability of this method. |

| Title: | The Reduction of Force Component Produced by Short Sides by Analyzing the Corner of Coil in Planar Motor with Halbach Magnet Array |
| Abstract: | The planar motor with moving-magnet is purely levitated by the stator coils. The forces produced by coils are calculated with the analytical model of magnet array and coil surface model for applying to the real time control. Take the coil and the Halbach magnet array which is at 45 degree with the long side of coil for analysis. The force component produced by short sides can be eliminated for conveniently controlling when the length of coil takes certain dimension. In practice, the force component produced by short sides is small but not zero. There are two reasons, one is the higher harmonics and the other is the corner segments of coil. The force integral expressions of coil corner segments are given by the Lorenz force law. Then the forces numerically calculated with harmonic model and coil full model are verified by comparing with the magnetic surface charge model and finite element model. In order to reduce the force component produced by short sides, the different corners of coil are analyzed. Comparing the forces of different corners of coil, the force component produced by short sides can be significantly reduced with slightly change of the other force components. |
